The Jonathan administration secretly, and in open violation of lawful contracting procedures, has awarded an Israeli firm, Elbit Systems, with headquarters in Haifa, a $40million contract to help it spy on citizens' computers and Internet communications under the guise of intelligence gathering and national security.
Elbit announced the contract award Wednesday in a global press release but was silent on the Nigerian destination of the contract. Its general manager, Yehuda Vered, opaquely announced that "Elbit Systems will supply its Wise Intelligence Technology (WiT) system to an unnamed country in Africa under a new $40 million contract announced on 24 April… for Intelligence Analysis and Cyber Defense," but effusively claimed, in the statement, that his company is "proud to be selected to supply this unique system, which is already field-proven, fully operational and customisable.
The contract will now help the Jonathan administration access all computers and read all email correspondences of citizens in what is clearly, an infringement on constitutionally guaranteed freedom of expression.
This development has not always gladdened public officials in Nigeria many who have expressed open displeasure at the use of the Internet by social media activists and the power of its possibilities as an empowering medium for popular communication. The calls for regulation have been loud in both the administration and in the Nigerian legislature.

In Pictures: List of Nollywood’s Pretty Single Mothers
Here is a list of pretty single mothers in the Nigeria film making
industry. You can as well add the name of others you know by leaving a
comment

Lola Alao: She used to be married to an American-based dude. The marriage crashed like a pack of badly stacked cards, but not before bringing out a daughter, who is currently staying with her mother.

Bukky Wright: Even at her age, Bukky Wright is a diva. Her marriage which produced two kids, went under but the woman came out of it looking radiant and enjoying her life as a mother and as an actress.

Fathia Balogun: After the break up with her actor husband, Saidi Balogun, Fathia Balogun is facing single motherhood and taking care of her two kids from that marriage well.

Grace Amah: She is the newest member of the single mothers’ league. She is enjoying her status well. Some say the much talked about marriage to the father of her son is now a mirage, while some others believe that Amah will soon walk down the aisle with her man. In any case, her fans are waiting… and watching.

Ibinabo Fibresima: She added to her two kids from different men, another baby that came out from her relationship with actor, Fred Amata.The ex-beauty queen and former night club owner is obviously a lover of kids and she makes motherhood look good with the way she looks at all times, especially with her kids.

Shan George: The mulatto actress is certainly not short of suitors. The lady is always in one relationship or the other.Twice married, George is still very much in love with her two boys, whom we hear school abroad.

Eucharia Anunobi: Popularly known as the ‘Sharon Stone’ of Nollywood, Eucharia Anunobi joined the list of single mothers when her marriage to Charles Ekwu broke down completely a few years ago. The marriage produced a son, Raymond, who is currently living with the actress. If speculations are anything to go by, Anunobi is taking care of the kid’s welfare all alone, with no help from her former beau.

Monalisa Chinda: Fair-skinned Rivers State-born actress, Monalisa Chinda, parted ways with her husband of few years, Victor Dejo-Richards. The union produced a beautiful child, Tamar, who is obviously loved by both parents.However, Chinda has taken custody of the child since she broke up with her former husband.

Genevieve Nnaji: Nnaji gave birth at a very young age. But then, even her worst critics can’t deny the fact that the actress hit stardom not long after. Yet her name, fame and status as a single mother has not in any way weighed down her career. Nnaji, who has been linked with many guys – the latest being D’banj – has managed to keep her daughter off the prying eyes of the public. Nnaji has never mentioned the father of her child, but some people say her daughter is living with him in the US.
