In a standard country there is nothing like privacy, let's check other countries where the government monitors their movement through their database, there is nothing private in that aspect because it is for security reasons, they protect every member of their country which lessen dangers in the country, the government can easily locate any citizens through their data and I think it is a good thing.

There is nothing bad about it when our government has access to our data in as much it is for security reasons, we only live our private lifestyle in the comfort of our homes, I will suggest no privacy when it comes to the issue of data.

Having access to our data can reduce the acts of criminals in the country, it will enhance more security, and the citizens will be at peace but having access to our data and not doing anything about is what I disagree with.

Last week some corp members were going to camp from Abuja to Imo state and they got kidnapped along the Lokoja axis, the kidnappers requested 15 million naira, let's assume in a very standardized country I believe the government will be able to track their whereabouts, and do something about it, though they have the access to do that but they feel less concern since their relatives are not among them.

Since they have access to our data then they should be able to track those people that were kidnapped so that they will know their exact location but No they will not do that all they will be working on is how to ban Twitter and eradicate Binance in the country.

There is nothing bad when the government has access to our data but is it worth it? what of people posting their nudes on the internet, what about the internet fraudsters, do they caution them? or do they encourage them since they do nothing about it, if our government can not bring all these bad habits down through the access to our data then I can see no reasons while they have access to it.

I remember a time when one politician was kidnapped in the country, the military worked tirelessly to find him and they had access to his phone and tracked him down to the place where he was, he was a very influential man in the country, and they had to safe him and they did a perfect job by saving his life but what if is poor people's children, they will abandon them in the forest when they can do the same to safe their lives but they won't, they will never use that medium to find those people tormenting the country and bring them to justice, then why do we have them as our leaders, why are they doing what is not necessary leaving the ones that are very paramount to the country. 

Having access to our data is never a bad thing, convince us that through access to our data they have achieved many things, not just sit and watch people's children suffer for what they know nothing about.

This is my entry for this week's episode of hivelearners community prompt of #hl-w111e1 which the topic is "SHOULD YOUR DATA BE PRIVATE"
