At the beginning of April I went to Lagos, Nigeria, to set up an internet monitoring program for the OpenNet Intiative (ONI), a research consortium that documents internet filtering worldwide. The goal of the project was to see whether the Nigerian government was censoring web content during the elections on April 21. Here are a few shots and here is the final report I wrote.
