"We give you a free software and you inturn give us vital information about you life, your friends, your likes and dislikes. Even most times, you tell where you are at every point in time".
I'm sitting, am standing, receiving lectures, am on the plane, off to the UK... All in the name of status updates, we letting out some very private details about yourself. Like the words of a captor, whose captives are in ignorant captivity,These were the words of a man i heard over the media... I'll love to withold his name for the sake of my medium. Permit me if these lines put together sounds like an idiom.
All in the name of fighting terror, the world is now in error. A man's life is monitored all about the place,with CCTV's stationed everywhere that is somewhere. In the banks,stores,hospital,schools,airports,eateries,and even worse of all i found one in a public toilet. There's hardly any privacy in our world today.
I was only trying enjoy myself with the GTBank ATM machine song when someone tapped me and said "Guy, hope you know u're on record"
There's hardly a thing you do without being monitored. Funnily, they came up with a new one, and said its called "Following". Well they say "if you don't have anything to hide you don't have to fear".
But I speak for a chosen few whose hearts will feel my views and i cry for those whose life's is out of their hands. Some's lost it on Facebook, Netlog, Hi-5, Youtube,Twitter, Blogger,Yahoomail,Gmail,Hotmail and every other mail.
Oh my God! See what we've done to ourselves,tell me one secret they're yet to know of us.
I heaved a sigh of relief at the launching of Nigcom-sat1 & 2, at last i said,"our privacy is now here" but despite this, the story remains the same"..
Take a thought, how many places do you have face/name on data? Bank, general internet, social networks...and so many other places.
A note will not contain all my heart has to pour. But i'll take it with good faith once i'm yet with a cure.
The man in quote left me with some nasty line, which left my brain thinking for years now. He said "Do you know the load of vital information you leave of yourself over the internet,remember men rule the internet, and infact they're out to get into the privacy of every one on earth. Take it from me, that's the policy".
Like a flash, my brains swung to action and i reasoned out a thought;
HOW MUCH I' VE LEFT OF ME CARELESSLY AS I SURFED THE INTERNET? Its a "WEB" and sadly we're all getting webbed!
Oh my God, i screamed when it dawned on me that i'm letting go every second A BIT OF PRIVACY.

"A huge number of humans have their Truth-Reserve/account either fat or static. We rarely withdraw nor spend from it, and will rather run life's transactions with that (il)legal tender, LIES". -TW™ Its not so amazing today how accepted, tolerated, and infact enjoyed (in the actual sense) lies are. Little wonder I chose to coin it as "(il)legal Tender". Illegal tender in every sense of it, yet legal tender judging by the widespread acceptance and employment of it. Why Account? Account owing to the fact that we know the truth, identify it, gather it, but yet fail to employ it, resulting to a mere build up (Account/Reserve) in our hearts, while refusing to spend/transact with it. Note: Truth spent yields even more dividends that truth stored. Why Lie? The "cover my/your arse" mentality/syndrome has taken the good-life over from us, I wonder why on God's earth we left our arses open in the first place, and who told us lies truly covers anyone'
