The Nigerian House of Representatives has directed the NCC to block all pornographic websites in the country, citing moral, religious, and psychological concerns. The resolution was passed following a motion by APC lawmaker Dalhatu Tafoki.

Tafoki argued that pornography promotes negative societal behaviors and urged Nigeria to follow other countries that have banned such content. The lawmakers emphasized the need to protect cultural values and prevent harmful effects on citizens.

The Nigerian House of Representatives has instructed the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to block all websites hosting pornographic and obscene content in the country.

This resolution was passed on Tuesday, following a motion sponsored by Dalhatu Tafoki, an All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmaker from Katsina.

Tafoki argued that cyber pornography is a growing global problem, and Nigeria has not taken sufficient steps to address it.

He emphasised that Nigeria is a highly religious country where major faiths prohibit nudity and obscenity. Tafoki also cited examples of several countries across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East that have enacted laws banning pornography.

The legislator warned about the negative impact of pornography, including its potential to encourage adultery, prostitution, and addiction.

He referenced warnings from psychologists and sociologists about the psychological, sociological, and mental consequences of viewing pornographic content.
