Twitter Removes 140-Character Limit From Direct Messages by metronaija: 8:20pm On Aug 12, 2015
Twitter has removed the 140 character limit on its Direct Message, the social networking site announced on Wednesday, August 12th. According to Twitter, the change is another step toward making the private side of Twitter even more powerful and fun.



“While Twitter is largely a public experience, Direct Messages let you have private conversations about the memes, news, movements, and events that unfold on Twitter. Each of the hundreds of millions of Tweets sent across Twitter every day is an opportunity for you to spark a conversation about what’s happening in your world. That’s why we’ve made a number of changes to Direct Messages over the last few months. Today’s change is another big step towards making the private side of Twitter even more powerful and fun.” says the club in a blog post.


Public timelines will remain restricted to 140 characters.


You may update your Twitter app to observe the new change while third party apps will be updated in coming weeks.

It's either the copter was sabotaged or

The maintainence engineers were grossly negligent and incompetent.

Rubbish picture, the crashed helicopter 5N- BGD in an S-76 Sikorsky and it carries 13 pax, its alot bigger than the aircraft in that picture, the helicopter in the pix is a small Schweizer300 used mainly for training and its not even in Nigeria at least not that ive heard of.

From the news about 6 people recovered from the copter. The Helicopter in the photo doesn't in any way look like a 6 seater. I smell a lie.

Is it a military helicopter?
Reports has it that 4 were confirmed dead,6 were rescued and 2 are still missing; that makes it 12 people on board.it must have been a fairly large helicopter.

Nope its not military, if its 5N-BGD as reported im very familiar with that aircraft, its owned by Bristow.

Indeed,I just realised that the Nigerian Airforce does not operate any sirkosky helicopter brand.
Bristow is an helicopter company widely used by petrochemical corporations,adding that to the fact that the helicopter took off from port harcourt; it could be an NNPC team that was on board the aircraft,I guess we'll soon find out.
