Sovereign Undertaking for Revolutionary Cyber Education, SOURCE, was founded in 2010 to bring urgent and immediate change to the ugly Nigerian Online Reputation.
From inception, our mission has been to educate Nigerian youth in crime-free internet businesses though funding from the goodwill of donors in the privates sector individuals who share our vision.
It is true that today, the average Nigerian is denied services today online because of the ugly reputation that our nation has acquired online.
Leading online providers like paypal, clickbank, and ebay have express warnings to their customers not to do business with Nigerians.
Even more embarrassing is the discovery of a deadly virus on the site of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. There is an effective warning on watchdog sites for people to avoid the EFCC website.
These and many similarly unfortunate situations plague our local online experience. Certainly, it is in no small part to the virulent involvement of our unemployed youth in cyber crime. This, in our honest opinion needs to be addressed with the same urgency as the Niger Delta or Boko Haram militant situation.
While current efforts by the financial crimes watchdog EFCC, are yielding some measure of result, we at SOURCE have invented a novel approach based upon research findings in the field of Psychotherapy and Operant Conditioning.
Thorndike’s Law of Effect:
This law states that behaviors that are followed by pleasant consequences will be strengthened, and will be more likely to occur in the future.
In line with this, we seek a way to purge our youth of cybercrime by helping them discover other legitimate ways of making money online.
