When Will Twitter Ban Nnamdi Kanu's Hate Speech?


Hate Speech Monger - Nnamdi Kanu


This man posts all sorts of vitriolic, abusive, threatening messages against Nigeria and the Nigerian government, including highly tribalistic smears, and blood-curdling commands to his followers, to kill and maim innocent Nigerians, including law enforcement agents.

BUT NOT FOR ONE DAY have I heard that Twitter cautioned him, or warned him against such dangerous use of the platform.

And then the Nigerian president uses the same twitter to warn troublemakers of repercussions, and HE gets his posts deleted by twitter.

I mean, WHAT CLEARER CASE OF BIAS IS THERE THAN THAT?

If I were Buhari, I would do the EXACT SAME THING, and ban them from operating in the Nigerian space.

Oh sure, some people can use VPN, but research shows that most peeps won't bother if they have to go to that extent.

So WELL DONE Mr President.

This has crossed my mind several times I must admit.. why is Kanu freely posting hateful and inciting comments on twitter and facebook yet they can't shut him off or ban him for violating their rules..

Can anyone post such inciting comments about killing Americans on twitter and they won't take it down? Igbos have really abused those platforms yet when you ask them to leave your domain, they'll refuse.


Is Kanu your president?

You lots don't know what divorce or breakup means, you'll definitely pack your bags and leave my space.

Techguy96:

It's the companies policies, buhari also made a live video saying the exact words in those tweet, it was broadcast on NTA n different TV stations. Twitter has no power as u assume here. Twitter is just a social media platform the govt can decide not to use the platform when they did same to trump, he simply created his own media n his followers left twitter n joined him.

So are u saying if a buhari post an inappropriate content on niaraland, seun doesn't have the right to delete such content?

One thing u should know is that twitter does this everytime, recently they suspended half of Nigeria influencer on twitter, twitter delete n suspend people everytime, so it not like a target on buhari or anything.

It is important to distil issues to principles so that we are consistent whether now, in 2 years or 20 years

First Nigeria is not the first country to restrict twitter. It is officially banned in China

Twitter is an emerging technology and existing legislation is playing catch up
There is a cultural dimension to freedom of expression
We cannot do everything the OYIBO way

I am no supporter of Buhari but the office he occupies is important

I cannot accept a FOREIGN business entity telling the president of my country to shut up under any guise

Still there are many issues to debate and we should debate them without becoming enemies
That is democracy

We must learn how to compartmentalize our emotions and sentiments

flokii:


That advice should go to your brothers and sisters in IPOB and UGM.. they need to get busy and start carrying concrete at construction sites instead of lazying about destroying lives and properties.

omonnakoda:

What is democracy
Twitter is a business
Twitter is not democracy
Are Nigerians present on the Board of twitter? How many?
I would say the same thing for Jonathan, Obasanjo or Abacha

Twitter should not censor the president of Nigeria and if it chooses to do so it should be kicked out of Nigeria. That s the African way

AMINDA:


Entire nation indeed. There are less than 3 million users of Twitter in Nigeria. No wonder you people erroneously think trends that are usually promoted by paid influencers reflect the mood of all Nigerians.

Babysho:


It is still the entire nation because we all don't get to have the CHOICE of joining Twitter anymore and what is life without choices? It's oppression.

monex:


could you send link to some of Nnamdi kanu's violence/threatening posts so they could be reported and deleted.

Speaktruth88:


You now have a choice to spend time with your family members and stop interacting with propagators of hate.

Who Twitter epp?

ablejesus26:
It would appear that you are not knowledgeable on the issue regarding power deposition.
The Nigerian president cannot for any reason sound like mnk.
He is deposited with the power to portray a balance.
I am Igbo I am not ipob,why should I be receiving threats bcus of ipob.
So why hasn't he threatened the Ne for all the unmeasurable atrocities that Boko Haram and bandits have carried out??.
Apc will be the downfall of this country.

WoundedLamb:
For me, the issue is not whether Twitter was right or wrong for deleting the president's tweets. The issue is that in a bid to get back at Twitter, the president dragged the entire nation into it. Twitter deleted his tweets and he's moving to block the entire nation of about 200 million people from accessing the app without VPN as if the country is his personal property and the opinion of the people doesn't matter. Even the people praising him for this are also caught up in the middle of what shouldn't even concern them cause he'll only end up stressing everyone, the organization and his citizens alike.

Vickym1:
Are you vexing because twitter deleted ur master's war tweets

You are very right bro.

This govt just make it look like every lgbo man is IPOB.

Little wonder the atrocities in lmo State by the military bcs of this daft view and opinion.

Many lgbos don't initially share lPOB's idea/idea but the federal government is giving many reason to believe that NNAMDI KANU MAY BE AFTERALL RIGHT IN ALL HE HAS BEEN SAYING.

Why are you drawing the line of division yourself as president?

Why do you threaten a major tribe with war and you want peace?

It is a sin to be an Igbo man in Nigeria?

Are you the first northerners to be President of Nigeria? - many of them before you enjoy lgbos alliance and support.

Why won't you be smarter instead of playing into IPOB's hand?

CoolAmbience:



I am sure you don't comprehend well.

The President never mentioned the SE.

So, quit the conspiracy theory already.

I am Igbo too.

Yusman316:

Pls where did the president mentioned Igbo?

CoolAmbience:


No one is caught up with anything.

Twitter can stay suspended forever for all we care.

Stop the unnecessary conspiracy theories.

booscy:
Why not start an online campaign for Twitter to ban him by reporting and pointing out his tweets that are in violation of the Twitter code of conduct or rules if engagement.

Someone started that which led to Buhari's suspension

BlackFlamefromP:
Oga observation, experience and common sense should tell you that pure democracy as practiced in some advance countries in Europe and also in US is not advisable in a country like Nigeria because of the kind of people Nigerians are. What Nigeria needs is some elements of democracy combined with some elements of dictatorship otherwise unpatriotic forces will overwhelm the government and bring the nation down, making complete mess of the country.

I am in total support of the twitter ban as its negative influences on Nigeria has been overwhelming

isaiahethan:



Stupid talk from a senseless Op. Keep deceiving yourself.

Nnamdi Kanu is he the problem of Nigeria?

MT:


Stop typing nonsense. Buhari was elected as the President and the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, with the mandate to take a decision on behalf of almost 200 million people. He swore to protect and defend the constitution.

It was ok for you guys for Trump to seriously attempt to control the social media by introducing section 230. You guys were cheering him on then. But it is ok for Twitter to allow Nnamdi Kanu's inciting write up on Twitter, openly encouraging Nigerian soldiers to be killed in the East while you were expecting the President to fold his arms and be watching why madness continues to reign in the East.

Reason it now.

Jman24:



Maybe because he is also smarter. Check that tweet again, it's so informal and may not be known to Twitter
Eg. Any ... from 'Zoonigeria'... (It could be the lion king from Nekede zoo in Imo state).
that comes to biafraland(an unknown country to Twitter)

Lifestone:

Use other Platforms.
