The Nigerian Government, through the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC), has cautioned content creators against photographing or recording videos of unsuspecting members of the public without their consent and sharing them on social media.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The warning was issued on Friday in a statement by Babatunde Bamigboye, Head of Legal, Enforcement, and Regulations at the NDPC, in Abuja.

Bamigboye stated that such activities violate citizens’ rights to informational self-determination, as guaranteed under Section 37 of the 1999 Constitution and the Nigeria Data Protection Act.

He noted that the commission has been alerted to cases where individuals capture images or videos of unsuspecting people for entertainment purposes online. He cited an example of a content creator who reportedly stood by Lagos roadsides filming unsuspecting members of the public for a reality show.

The commission emphasized that processing someone’s image in these circumstances requires their consent, unless the creator can justify it under another lawful basis for data processing. Preliminary investigations indicate that these actions constitute a deliberate invasion of privacy and serve neither public interest nor any legitimate purpose.

Bamigboye said, “In any event, the data subjects involved have no expectation that their images will be captured and shared with the world by an unknown individual.”

He added that Vincent Olatunji, NDPC National Commissioner, has instructed social media platform owners to strengthen enforcement of their community guidelines to prevent such violations.

American boxer and YouTuber Jake Paul has revealed that his comeback has been delayed due to complications from the jaw injury he sustained against Anthony Joshua, requiring a second surgery.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Paul suffered a double jaw fracture during his sixth-round stoppage loss to Joshua in December at the Kaseya Center in Miami. He had hoped to return to training later this year, but recovery has taken an unexpected turn.

Speaking at a news conference for Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano, Paul said the titanium plates and screws from his first operation had loosened, prompting corrective surgery in February.

“I recently had my second surgery. The doctor said it will take four to six months before I can spar and check how the bone is healing. That pushes a potential fight to late this year or early next year,” Paul explained.

The setback means the 27-year-old could remain out of the ring well into 2027 if rehabilitation follows the expected timeline.

Paul also confirmed he would no longer pursue heavyweight fights, noting that Joshua’s punching power was far beyond what he faced in lighter divisions. His next bout, whenever it happens, is expected at cruiserweight.

“Joshua’s punches hit much harder than anyone in my weight class. Cruiserweight is where I’m strongest and where I want to climb the rankings and make statements,” he said.

Meanwhile, Joshua is also recovering from his own setback. According to Naija News, the former world champion has been undergoing rehabilitation after a car crash on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on December 29 that killed his close friends, trainer Kevin Ayodele, and long-time recovery therapist Sina Ghami.

The British-Nigerian fighter is receiving intensive treatment for rib injuries, with promoter Eddie Hearn aiming for his return to the ring in July.
