The Cybercrime Roundtable hosted by Lagos Digital Village and supported by Heinrich Boll Foundation on Wednesday, April 19, 2006 at Heinrich Boll Foundation Ikoyi Lagos.

it was attended by 20 youth leaders from the nigerian ICT sector & members of the nigerian WSIS youth Caucus(Gbenga sesan,Titi Akinsanmi,tope shoremi,kola osinowo,pascal smith,ayo oladejo etc)
The roundtable was an interactive session, with the theme, "Cybercrime Bill and Nigerian Citizens", we ask particpants to study the two documents which are the two bills that seek to address cybercrime that is before the national assembly in Nigeria. There are plans for amendments so our duty is simply to look at both bills in the light of how it can solve the beastly problem of cybercrime and its possible impacts of the citizens, noting that some clauses may raise questions about the privacy of individuals, for example. Please note that while the "Computer Security and Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Bill 2005" is a wholly cybercrime bill, "The Information Technology Bill 2004" only touches on cybercrime in Part IV.

Presentation 1: Insight into the Bills / Policy Process - Discussion on Presentation by Mr Adesina

who also showed and explained how The Information Technology Bill and the Computer Security and Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Bill were been used and enforced in other countries.
Presentation 2: Insight into the Bills / Policy Process by Mr Basil Udotai further shared light into the the two Bills becacause he was on the drafting team.we shared experiences on why the bills had to be passed because nigerian law enforcement agencies need orientation on Computer Security & cybercrimes when a computer student is been detain by the police for carry CCNA book found in his bag and he had to call a friend to come to his aid.

Defination of computer in THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY BILL 2004(Computer” means a person, thing or entity that computes; or a computational machinery having an internal storage where it stores data and or programs, and which without human intervention stores and retrieves data and programs, and executes the programs, modifying same as the nature of the data may require; or a network or network of networks of such computational machineries.)Question for all(is a computer a person or a thing?)

After the two presentations Rapporteur presented recommendations and highlights of roundtable discussions.we decided to continue discussions online.

our easter holiday was spent with refugees at the popular Oru camp in Ogun State, Nigeria. With a population of a bout 5,000 refugees from Liberia, Sierra Leone, Congo and Sudan, you need to be there to know that these people have been through alot
I was invited to train them on ICTs and computer networks(LAN & WAN).the trainig took place at the 842 Computer Center.(History)The computer center was built by the community to support a young man Eric Wowoh who Someone donated a computer to and he learned how to use the system, and at some point realised his life was being changed.With the interest of his fellow youth at heart,he worked towards training others. After a few years,we the support of the community and support from other organisations the center was completed and now had ten (10) computers — and a standby generator. There, refugees — and some students of the nearby Olabisi Onabanjo University are trained at no cost!
A group of young volunteer and medical doctors conducted medical counselling,treatments for the refugees.the health clinic was on for three days,8hours per day.there was a health seminar on Hiv/Aids and STD's based on the observation during the clinic that one out of every three persons had sexually transmitted disease.
there was also a childrens easter party and vocational training on beads making,baking cakes etc.we left the camp monday to come back to lagos.
