Fundamental human rights are right to talk, right to association, right, right to form or join any movement, right to own your own property, right to fair hearing. These and many more are the rights that every human being deserve to have. It is possible that my own association is in the internet. It is also possible that it is through the internet that I can be heard hence I have the right to be heard.
If you check it properly, some of us that uses the internet day in day out have already found friends, relations, businesses, even prayer groups online. So how can it be that you will be asked to stop seeing your people. And these are the people that matters in your life. There is nothing that we can call this rather than than human rights violation. You can't stop one from having an association. This is our human rights.
Sincerely speaking, for me I found it more appropriate to do online stuff. Infact most times I prefer buying things online because you get to see what you want and order for them. And when you make your order, it will just be at your door step in some hours. What more should I ask for? This is what I do more often and I don't regret it at all. When my son wanted to buy some of the musical instruments he is using today, he bought them online and when they arrived it was exactly what he wanted. I know that we have this problem of what we ordered vices what we get. But it is not the same all the time. Most time we get exactly what we want. And that is why it gives me joy to do so.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF SUCH A RULLING WAS PASSED?
Well, I wish that such rulling should never ever come. Because it will even affect me negatively more than others. Right now by husband told me that the owner of his shop sold it and didn't even care to tell them. So, as it stands, they can be asked to move out any moment. What will he do was my question? I told him that if only he joined me to do some online stuff, he won't be thinking of how to get another shop now. To make matters worse, he just paid for his shop rent last year November. On a normal day he will be thinking of paying for another shop rent at the end of this year. But here we are today, searching for another shop. Alot of people don't even care about having a physical shop any more. All they do is to get an handle and start advertising what they do.
So, for such people if such law should be passed, their whole life will be on hold. Nothing will move again and it will throw them backward.
CAN WE LIVE WITH THIS?
We have no computers years back and our parents survived. I know that someone will just say this. Time have changed. Technology have made us realized what our parents missed. We are not ready to go back to it again. This is forward ever and backward never.
In conclusion, government should please allow us survive through what we do online. Hence they can't give everyone a job especially in Nigeria, we should be allowed the liberty of using the internet to make good money.
This is my submission on the topic for the week - A Fundamental Human right.
