Tanzanian minister on the spot for following porn account on X
A popular X (formerly Twitter) page, @HottiePromo, which boasts 1 million followers called on Tanzania’s Minister of Information, Communication and Information Technology Mr Nape Moses Nnauye to stop blocking their VPN (Virtual Private Network) so that their clients can benefit from their products just as he allegedly does.
In a statement by Martin Maranja Masese, a renowned Tanzanian blogger, a section of Tanzanian journalists investigated claims the Minister enjoyed the account’s content and found that he does follow the account.
They also claimed, that far from the privacy of his home where he enjoys the content, when he steps into the day as a public officer, he blocks the page’s VPN to prevent Tanzanians from watching banned content by directing TCRA (Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority) to block the VPN.
He went on to share a screenshot which showed the Minister follows the explicit page as well as nasty content the page shares.
“HottiePromo thanks the Minister of Communications, Tanzania, Nape Nnauye, for being their long-time follower and wants him to stop blocking other Tanzanians from using the VPN to also benefit. But according to news reaching us, the Minister decided to also block the page after many Tanzanians shredded him,” said Mr Masese.
“Your leaders love porn, but you are blocked. We’ve been dragged into the politics of Tanzania because their Minister watches porn but bans VPNs for the country. Free your people Tanzania,” added the HottiePromo page in response to Mr Masese’s commentary.
HottiePromo added, “President Samia Suluhu, what are you doing for your people? Your people need the internet and VPNs. Your leaders watch porn like everyone else. Fix this issue immediately.”
On his official page, Mr Nnauye also posts content about having values, letting children be children, hope for tomorrow, facing challenges, and other encouraging, wholesome updates.
Tanzanians had mixed reactions towards their Minister being exposed online for following porn accounts. Many people mocked the Minister for gatekeeping porn and possibly ‘ personally getting his own’ while in office while others called on the blogger and porn page to go slow on their attacks on him or he would shut down X in Tanzania altogether.
