WHAT IS CYBER CRIME?
This is a crime, or computer-oriented crime, which involves a
computer and a network.
The computer may have been used in the commission of a
crime, or it may be the target.
In Nigeria, we have a Cybercrime Act since May 2015, signed
into law by President Goodluck Jonathan.
Just a few days ago, the Federal Government indicated intension
to monitor social media.
Under-aged are remanded in Borstal Institutions (3), otherwise in
Prison.

STUDENTS IN ERA OF TECHNOLOGY
Students or pupils are learners or some set of youngsters who attend an
educational institution, be it primary, secondary or tertiary. In Nigeria, like our
colonial master, Britain; those attending university are termed "students" while
"pupil” refers to as an attendee of a lower educational institution.
On the other hand, educational institutions nowadays involve technology in
delivery of education to the pupils at almost all levels. Educational technology
also known as EduTech or EdTech.
Educational technology is "the study and ethical practice of
facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using, and
managing appropriate technological processes and resources".[1]
Also, Educational technology is the use of both physical hardware and
educational theories, encompassing several fields, including learning theory,
computer-based training, online learning, and, where mobile technologies are
used, m-learning.

NIGERIA PATHWAY TO TECHNOLOGY BOOM:
In Nigeria, the mobile devices entered with the notorious era of Not-9-Not from
mainly Motorola, Siemens and Ericsson kinds of mobiles-like boxes.
This era somewhat paved the way for further liberalization of the
Telecommunications Sector in 2000 and following the deregulation of the
mobile phone market in Nigeria which led to the introduction of Global System
for Mobile Communication (GSM) network providers such as MTN, Airtel
(transition = Econet+Vmobile+Celtel+Zain+Airtel), Globacom and
Etisalat+9Mobile and subsequently obtained licenses from the Nigerian
Communications Commission (NCC).
Today, Nigeria prides telecom subscriber-base of 237,010,282m as at November
2017
Internet Access stood at about 93m
In March 2011 the NCC started registering Subscribers Identification Module
(SIM) cards, in efforts to checkmate crimes associated with mobile phones
like kidnapping and even internet fraud.

NDS FORUM SERIES ON IG4D MODEL:
In 2009, the management of DigitalSENSE Africa Media Limited introduced a
campaign, the Nigeria DigitalSENSE Forum on Internet Governance for
Development (NDSF-IG4D), to change the mindset of Nigerians especially the
youth most of who think that Yahoo, Yahoo and online ‘419’ scam is the in-
thing and that Maga De Pay; to embrace the positive way of life, with the
believe that when we catch them young, similar to what is happening today,
there is hope for this country – Nigeria, then the song will definitely change.
Since then, NDSF has grown and was recognized and invited to join the Local
Multistakeholder Advisory Group (LMAG) of the Nigeria Internet Governance
Forum (NIGF) whilst ICANN – the global body coordinating the Internet
Protocol through its At-Large Advisory Committee named DigitalSENSE Africa
Media as an At Large Structure (ALS).
NDSF on IG4D has also introduced Essay Competition for undergraduates, Just

SOCIAL MEDIA TECHNIQUES FOR STUDENTS
1. Loss of privacy
2. Use a strong password. The longer it is, the more secure it will be.
3. Use a different password for each of your social media accounts.
4. Set up your security answers. The two factor authentication is
available for most social media sites.
5. If you have social media apps on your phone, be sure to password
and protect your device.
6. Be selective with friend requests. If you don’t know the person, don’t
accept their request. It could be a fake account.
7. Click links with caution. Social media accounts are regularly
hacked. Look out for language or content that does not sound like
something your friend would post.

SOCIAL MEDIA TECHNIQUES FOR STUDENTS-2
1. Be careful about what you share. Don’t reveal sensitive personal
information ie: home address, financial information, phone

you use and customize your privacy settings to control who sees
what.
3. Protect your computer by installing antivirus software to
safeguard. Also ensure that your browser, operating system, and
software are kept up to date.
Remember to log off when you’re done.
1. Making calls while driving

RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. School proprietors should be grounded in the content of Nigerian
Education Policy (NEP) and prepare for global competitiveness.
2. Students, must always exhibit positive confidence which goes with
sharing only content they are sure of.
3. The Ministry of Youth should ASAP conduct a survey on Child
Online and Abuse in Nigeria with regards to technologies.
4. Nigeria should establish a Child Exploitation and Online Protection
Centre (CEOPC) with a portal for reporting Child Online Abuses
5. CEOPC must have a toll free number, which must be available 24/7
days a week with trained counselors at hand to assist or at best
linked with emergency numbers 112/ 199/119/190/7411+36 states
separate GSM lines for emergencies.
