How can you pay N1. 6bil for software that is free and open source? The corruption is now on the next level.

TIL: Nigeria's 2021 budget has 1.6 billion Naira for "Purchase of OSINT Software" (about 3.5 million Euro).

My questions:
1. Most of the software is free so what are you going to buy?
2. If this includes other things (like salaries or something), where can I apply?

Wow

We will not realize what the APC gov is doing to this country unless a transparent government takes over Aso Rock. However, there is no particular software called OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) software. Rather, OSINT refers to a range of tools used to analyze data directly from open source platforms like the social media. It will cost some good money but 'billion' is definitely outrageous.

Buhari's government is the most corrupt since when Cain killed Abel.

PDP dey learn work compared to APC.
Buhari is the worst president ever in the history of mankind.

Buhari is the Sai Baba of corruption.
It's a shame he won't be exposed until he leaves office in 2023.

APC govt is using us to do abracadabra , meaning the more you look, the less you see. Angel Michael really need to come in commando style and pay this govt a visit

Sai bubu ride on sir Afonjanic demons are strongly behind you

We warn them, them nor gree. We tell them, them nor hear. Now We all go suffer am.

There's the premium version, also quite expensive but nowhere near the quoted amount in this budget. $40-$50k will solve the problem

Arrrrrrrh

They should allow them, data transparency anybody can hack it. Anything called security in Nigeria is faulty, they can't protect their citizens, it's data they would protect?

Misplaced priority !
You see how block headed this APC government is? As in ' Free' and they want to buy it. Too much money wasted in the wrong direction.

No wonder Aisha Buhari relocated to Dubai. Probably to keep an eye on the family loot.

Not surprised


Nigeria

Buhari u don try.

e shock u?

Buhari govt is hyper corrupt

Na one guy man wan scam the old hags so!

With a promise of huge kickbacks.


Stupid fools

Omo this bros even reference Bible to prove his point

Na wa o

Somehow they thought everybody else is as daft as they are not to know what OSINT is.

Such a shame.
Nigeria is as good as it's useless leaders.

Op , how is the software free?

Is it 1.6 billion naira?

blamingthedevil:


Op , how is the software free?

Hmmmmmmm

I pity for this generation of Nigerians

How is osint free software.

Software for gathering information in public sources site ...how is this software free?

The funniest thing is most Nigerians do not understand Osint, because a Twitter account created to incite public opinion said it is free, they all believe it is free.

OSINT IS NEVER FREE, OSINT USES AI TO GATHER DATA FROM PUBLIC AVAILABLE SOURCES.

People that analyze data from social media and other public available sources understand that some tools for gathering information are not free, you have to pay for licensing especially when you want to install the software in lot of computers

Most of the people here are educated ignoramus illiterates simp including you. How is the software free,?

A stupid president is always elected by stupid people

Money is siphoned but Dem must claim tlit is used for something else

Wasting money trying to monitor and control the social media instead of building roads, bridges, power plants etc

Pro version is not free now

Okay, while I am a bit suspicious about the whole budget for OSINT...it isn't true to say that OSINT is 'free'

First, there are several types of OSINT software, and some come in free, while some come with payment.

I suspect the government is going for the variant where you have to pay something for it.

HERE is the article on types and pricing of OSINT software

As you can see if you clicked the article...some OSINT come in free, some come in paid variants.

Of course, the government won't be using the free stuff...which everyone and his mother can use.
