1 | Nigeria: Senate President Calls for Social Media Censorship | Nizeria: Filohan'ny Loholona Mitaky Sivana Amin'ny Haino Aman-jery Sosialy |
2 | The President of Nigeria's Senate, David Mark, recently advocated clamping down on social media in the country. Many netizens perceived his comments as a declaration of battle on the Nigerian web. | Nanome toro-marika vaovao hamehezana ny haino aman-jery sosialy ao amin'ny firenena ny filohan'ny Loholon'i Nizeria David Mark. Mpiserasera maro amin'ny aterineto no nandray io heviny io ho famakiana ady amin'ny tranonkala Nizeriana. |
3 | According to Tuale Naija: | Araka an'i Tuale Naija: |
4 | Mark had last Thursday, while declaring open a two-day retreat for Senate Press corps in Umuahia, Abia State, reportedly said the check became necessary as people used the media to demean their leaders. | Tamin'ny Alakamisy teo, rehefa nanambara ny fisokafan'ny roa andron'ny fivoriana fandinihan-tenan'ny Mpanao gazetin'ny Loholona tany Umuahia, fanjakan'i Abia dia niteny i Mark fa ilaina ny famehezana satria ampiasain'ny olona hanambaniana ny mpitondra azy ireo ny haino aman-jery. |
5 | He added that there was no opportunity for retraction of information in such media. | Nampiany fa tsy nisy fotoana nahafahana nisintona ny vaovao teny amin'ny tontolon'ny haino aman-jery toy ireny. |
6 | Tuale Naija quotes the Senate President in his own words: | Mitantara amin'ny fomba fiteniny azy manokana ny Filohan'ny Loholona, Tuale Naija : |
7 | We need to change our attitude on how we report things about our country and we should emulate the foreign reporters who never report negative things about their countries. | Mila manova ny fombantsika isika amin'ny fitantarantsika ny zava-miseho ato amin'ny firenentsika ary tokony hianatra ireo mpanao gazety vahiny izay tsy mitantara izay zavatra ratsy miseho ao amin'ny fireneny. |

9 | Why should the social media bother Mr Mark so much as to legislate it's gagging: Blogger, Chinedu Ekeke deduces as follows: | Nahoana no mampiasa saina an'Atoa Mark ny haino aman-jery, ka mahatonga azy hamoaka lalàna fanampenam-bava toy izany : Chinedu Ekeke, bilaogera dia nanao izao tsoa-kevitra manaraka izao : |
10 | Netizens: the Nigerian politician's nightmare? | Mpiserasera amin'ny aterineto : Ny nofy ratsin'ny mpanao politika Nizeriana ? |
11 | Mr Mark is justified, because, you see, there's so much money can buy; and there's even much more plenty of money can buy. | Voamarina Atoa Mark satria hitanareo, betsaka ny azon'ny vola vidiana ; ary tena mbola feno zavatra betsala lavitra azon'ny vola vidiana. |
12 | The more money you make without working, the more you want to spend without sweat. | Arakaraky ny ahazoanao volabe tsy nisasarana no tsy iraharahanao ny fandaniana tsy misy dikany. |
13 | He pays himself N600 million from Nigeria's treasury in one year. | Manakarama ny tenany N600 tapitrisa avy ao amin'ny tahirim-bolan'i Nizeria izy ao anatin'ny taona iray. |
14 | That isn't heavenly or biblical year. It is earthly year as we know it; twelve calendar months, the one within which Barack Obama, the United States president, earns N60 million. | Tsy taona any an-danitra na ara-baiboly akory izao fa taona ety an-tany araka ny fantatsika ; roa ambin'ny folo volana ny tetiandro, izay handraisan'i Barack Obama, Filohan'ny Etazonia N60 tapitrisa. |
15 | What Mr. Mark pays himself in one year is the salary of a US president for ten (yes, ten!) good years. | Izay raisin'i Mr. Mark irery herintaona no karaman'ny filohan'ny Etazonia folo (eny, folo !) taona be izao. |
16 | What Nigeria's number three citizen takes home, legally, in one year, is what the number one citizen of the world's biggest economy, and only remaining super-power, earns in ten years… You see why he has to checkmate social media? | Izay entin'ny olom-pirenena faha telo Nizeriana mody, amin'ny ara-dalàna, ao anatin'ny herintaona, no azon'ny olom-pirenena laharana voalohany amin'ny firenena lehibe ara-toekarena sady ilay hany sisa faran'izay matanjaka, ao anatin'ny folo taona… Hitanareo izao, nahoana izy no tsy maintsy mandemy ny haino aman-jery sosialy ? |
17 | You can't have access to such amounts of free money without being sensitive to any avenue through which opposition rears its envious head… So for taking home N600 million for doing nothing, why will David Mark not feel threatened by social media? | Tsy afaka hahazo vola be maimaim-poana toy izany ianao, raha tsy hoe tsy miraharaha ny làlana rehetra izay anatsofohan'ny mpanohitra ny lohany… Noho izany mba hitondrana N600 tapitrisa mody nefa tsy manao na inona na inona, nahoana no tsy hahatsiaro ho voahorohoron'ny haino aman-jery sosialy i David Mark ? |
18 | Nigerian netizens have jumped gatekeepers! | Nihoa-pefy ny mpiserasera Nizeriana ! |
19 | It was easy for him to buy up the entire mainstream media peopled by brown-envelope-seeking journalists and editors in a hurry to join the resource-grabbing frenzy of those who rule Nigeria. | Mora taminy ny nividy ny haino aman-jery mahazatra izay maro mpanao gazety mitady valopy sy tonian-dahatsoratra maika handray ny vola mampitaintaina avy amin'ireo izay mitondra an'i Nizeria. |
20 | His Ghana-must-go bags were handy for willing media people who had no regards for the sacred role the society, and their jobs, had thrust upon them. | Ny kitapo ‘Ghana-must-go'(Ghana tsy maintsy mandeha), dia mora raisin'ny tànana ho an'ireo olon'ny haino aman-jery izay tsy te-hahalala ny anjara andraikitra sarobidin'ny orinasa sy ny asan'izy ireo, natoky azy ireo. |
21 | Today, Mark can't control what gets into the new media. | Amin'izao fotoana izao, tsy voafehin'i Mark izay miditra ao anatin'ny haino aman-jery vaovao. |
22 | He can't control the number of people who read just a tweet, or Facebook post or blog post, detailing how much David Mark grabs monthly from the purse of a nation in pathetic poverty. | Tsy voafehiny ny isan'ny olona mamaky bitsika iray fotsiny, na lahatsoratra amin'ny facebook, na lahatsoratra amin'ny bilaogy fotsiny, izay maneho amin'ny antsipirihiny ohatrinona no raisin'i David Mark isam-bolana avy ao amin'ny kitapom-bolam-panjakana efa ao anaty fahantrana mankarary. |
23 | He can't control who reads this piece or who doesn't. | Tsy voafehiny izay mamaky na tsia io lahatsoratra io. |
24 | He can't pull down this website or the other ones linked to it through which this piece will be read by thousands or millions of Nigerians. | Tsy afaka manidy io tranonkala io na ireo rohy hafa mifandray amin'io izay hamakian'ny Nizeriana an'arivony na an-tapitrisany io lahatsoratra io izy, izay no antony mampikorontana azy. |
25 | And this is why he is troubled. For one who once said that telephones are not for the poor… | Ho an'ilay iray niteny indray mandeha fa tsy natao ho an'ny mahantra ny finday … |
26 | As Babangida's minister of communication, he told whoever cared to listen to perish the thoughts of making telephone available to Nigerians. | Araky ny nolazain'ny minisitry ny serasera'i Babangida tamin'ireo izay liana te handre mba hamono eritreritra fanaovana ny finday ho takatry ny Nizeriana. |
27 | He stated, clearly, that telephone wasn't for the poor. | Nambarany, mazava tsara, fa tsy natao ho an'ny mahantra ny finday. |
28 | It was for the rich, eaters of hundreds of millions of naira from Nigeria's commonwealth. | Natao ho an'ny mpanankarena io, ireo mpihinana ny ‘naira' an-jatony tapitrisa avy amin'ny repoblikan'i Nizeria. |
29 | Today, the senator watches even roadside mechanics clutching their phones, reading the internet and seeing how much of a curse to them this government has become. | Ankehitriny, jeren'ilay loholona na dia ny mpanamboatra fiara eny amoron-dàlana mitàna ny findainy aza, mamaky ny aterineto sy mijery hatraiza no lasa ompa ho azy ireo io governemanta io. |
30 | If you were Mark, you'd be troubled too. | Raha ianao no Mark, mety hikorontana ihany koa ianao. |
31 | Once a soldier, always… | Miaramila indray mandeha, mandrakariva… |
32 | David Mark's career in the Nigerian Army is highlighted in his online biography: | Ny andraikitr'i David Mark tao amin'ny Tafika Nizeriana dia voasongadina ao amin'ny ‘biographie' (làlam-piainany) ao anaty aterineto : |
33 | David Mark had an exciting knowledge filled experience as a young telecommunications engineer in the Army and gradually rising from the position of a Junior officer to the position of a Senior officer… After He graduated from Nigeria's apex military training school, the Command and Staff College (CSC) in Jaji, Kaduna, he was posted to the Corps of signals as Commandant… During the David Mark's political appointment in the military he was probably the youngest member of the Armed Forces Ruling Council (AFRC), the highest decision making body in the country then. | Nanana fahalalàna feno traikefa mahazendana amin'ny naha-tanora injeniera amin'ny fifandraisan-davitra azy tao anatin'ny Tafika i David Mark ary nisondrotra tsikelikely avy amin'ny toeran'ny manam-boninahitra lefitra ho amin'ny manam-boninahitra ambony… Taorian'ny nahazahoany mari-pahaizana avy amin'ny sekoly fanofanana miaramila apex any Nizeria, ny “Command and Staff College” (CSC) any Jaji, Kaduna, dia napetraka tamin'ny toeran'ny komandy mpibaiko ny Corps of signals (Vondrona fanairana) izy… Nandritra ny fanendrena ara-politika an'i David Mark tao amin'ny tafika, izy no tanora indrindra amin'ny mpikambana tao amin'ny ‘Armed Forces Ruling Council', na Filankevi-pitantanan'ny Tafika Mitam-piadiana (AFRC), izay vondrona faran-tampony amin'ny fandraisana fanapahan-kevitra tamin'izany. |
34 | Even the discerning critiques of the militray politics knew that Mark was a very influential member of the AFRC. | Na dia ny tsikera madinika indrindra amin'ny politika miaramila aza dia nahafantarana fa mpikambana to teny tao amin'ny AFRC i Mark. |
35 | It is therefore not awkward that with this background, Nigeria's Senate President will certainly have no love lost for social media. | Noho izany tsy mahagaga raha tao anatin'io sehatra io, ny Filohan'ny Loholona Nizeriana dia tsy ho tia ny haino aman-jery sosialy mihitsy. |
36 | The reactions by Nigerian netizens are as snatching as his remarks. | Na ny fanehoan-kevitra avy amin'ireo Nizeriana mpampiasa aterineto, na ny azy dia samy nosintonina maimaika . |
37 | Twitter reactions | Hevitra tao amin'ny Twitter |
38 | @WilDeji: You hear people like David Mark talking about ‘social media', don't you understand that there's been a recent meeting? | @WilDeji: Renareo ny olona toa an'i David Mark miresaka momba ny ‘haino aman-jery sosialy' , dia tsy takatrareo ve fa nisy fivoriana vao haingana tao? |

45 | @ged: …or maybe David Bonaventure Mark was envious of Goodluck Ebelemi Jonathan, wanted his own share of the social media attention. | @ged: …na angamba nialona an'i Goodluck Ebelemi Jonathan i David Bonaventure Mark, te-hanana ny anjarany madiodio amin'ny fifantohan'ny haino aman-jery sosialy. |
46 | Just maybe. | Angamba fotsiny. |
