When online abuse is not properly controlled or prevented, it leads to other social vices
IT News Nigeria:
Onadipe Technologies has announced the unveiling of this year’s edition of Internet Safety Magazine aimed at tackling internet abuse among youths all over the world.
This is contained in a released signed by the CEO, MR Rotimi Onadipe within the week.
He noted that this edition explains how to prevent internet fraud, cyber terrorism and cyber bullying, pornography, cybersex, online gaming, screen and addictions, adding, “when internet abuse is not properly controlled or prevented, it leads to other social vices, including indecent dressing, prostitution, pre-marital sexual activities, rape, pedophilia, cultism, drug addiction, among others.
“In today’s technology age, the menace of internet abuse had done incalculable damage to many lives and the society at large. Many homes have broken, many lives traumatized, businesses crashed, ministries folded up, many individuals and companies have lost their reputations, while a large number of youths have been jailed for various internet-related crimes.”
Responding to the positive impactt of previous magazines and the training of the publisher, Professor Anna Droll, President, Kairos Global Missions in the US, writes how she interviewed Mr Onadipe for her research project for a PhD at the Fuller Theological Seminary, USA. She is quoted as saying that “Onadipe’s report of the roles of dreams and visions in directing his steps toward his current work was quiet amazing.”
On his part, Dr Felix Ajijola of the Department of History and Strategic Studies of the University of Lagos is also quoted as saying that “Cybercrime is one of the nefarious and illicit phenomena gaining momentum among youths globally. The obnoxious act has greatly affected the image of Nigeria in the global community, but Pastor Rotimi Onadipe is at the forefront of social reengineering. As a patriotic stakeholder for an ideal society predicated on honesty godliness, hardwork and responsibility, he has contributed tremendously in the fight against internet abuse, illicit activities and fraudulent practices rampant among some unscrupulous youths in Nigeria.
Furthermore, the member representing Ogbomoso North in the Oyo State House of Assembly, Honourable Bimbo Olawumi Oladeji, admits that “In today’s digital age, people spend countless hours throughout the day on social media, and at the end of the day have absolutely nothing productive to show for it. Pastor Onadipe and his team have, however, come up with strategies to educate the public on the dangers and lasting solutions to internet abuse and cybercrime, rehabilitation of repentant cybercriminals through vocational training.”
