Jack won't feel zilch,you should worry about the Nigerians that benefit from using Twitter and how twitter helps our revenue.Nigeria is at loss not Twitter
If Jack couldn't feel Trump's permanent ban and threats by Trump supporters to leave the platform which they later came back to he will not feel zilch.Nigeria is the one at loss not Twitter.

You are ignorant. Twitter just lost upwards of 3 million subscribers, with the prospect of losing millions more in coming years in Nigeria, Africa's largest internet market, and you say they won't feel anything.

You're clearly not a business person.

Nigeria is projected to become the world's 3rd largest population and consumer market by 2050. Investment in NIGERIA is on the radar of EVERY major firm on Earth today.

Twitter needs Nigeria far more than Nigeria needs Twitter.

Do not compare India with Nigeria. India is one of the leading countries in Medicine & ICT. India is a nuclear power. India military budget alone is around $50 billion compare with our $2 billion military budget. Our entire budget for 2020 is $34 billion, which is not even up to Indian military budget.

They won't feel zilch those people that use their platform for business also will feel the heat.

It is a mutual beneficial relationship,Nigeria will also be at loss,the ban won't stand and Twitter will continue it's business because people will still find ways to access it.

No sane person will invest into insecurity it is not yet 2050.

In the case of Nigeria, the ban on twitter should have been regional just like HISBAH CORP that ban the sale and drinking of alcohol in some northern states but limited its islamic penal code to the sharia practising states like Kano, Kaduna etc.

Your region ban what you think is offensive in your region and in this case the northern part of Nigeria can go ahead and ban twitter but leave the liberal south to use the tool of this information age.

The federal government should not GENERALISE situation and then come out with a conclusion to punish the christian south.

THE BUHARI GOVERNMENT CAME TO STEAL OUR DEMOCRACY.

Those who were shouting CHANGE CHANGE should now know that the fraudulent change master came to change their life for the worse.

First, What did your own father do to improve his immediate family and take y’all from poverty? What are you doing to improve your own life and not bring children to poverty like your ancestors?

We can always blame government. Do you know with your mobile phone and the little megabytes you have you can create a business and sell online? I dislike lazy whining young people who blame others for their plights every time. Especially, those who have access to internet and who have money to buy mobile phones. That phone was a luxurious in our own time.

I’m not from a rich family and I schooled in Nigeria with all the difficulties. It was difficult growing up, I only enjoy the so called “free education” in primary school but my parents paid for my education in public high school. I was 11 or 12 years old when I have been going to the bank to deposit school fees.

Nigeria does not even need Twitter at all.

Since the ban yesterday, how many nigerians have stopped breathing?

The answer is None.

India wey be one of the biggest economies in the world

Home to 1.3billion people and you think that market isn’t important to these social media companies?

And FYI many countries in Europe (and US individual states ) are taking actions to rein in social media giants.

You are actually not smart. Twitter is what it is today because of public interactions and opinions. If these move away from Twitter, Dorsey would be nothing but a rich nobody.

He played himself when Twitter started becoming opinionated. Other governments would join Nigeria. States in the USA are already crafting rules against big media.

Twitter is toast. Dorsey is basically an arsehole who thinks he's untouchable.
No, other countries will not join Nigeria and India.

Ghana sef will soon chase them out by the time they start inciting Ghanians against their government. Many countries banned those agents of imperialists. Imagine talking of freedom of speech, but the same Jack and his Twitter deleted lot of comments that was inciting the destruction of America during the Capitol Hill invasion but want to encourage the destruction of Nigeria. He loves his America and I love my Nigeria too. Nigeria is not Libya.

I like this!

But do you blame them ? A lot of Nigerians are educated illiterates thanks to poor government performance over the years on our education sector.

Now with the “blowup” of social media the proverbial chicken has come home to roost.

So easy to brainwash them with misinformation. sad really.

Funny how Twitter plays good boy with the small, inconsequential developing countries like Ghana and co, but sees the rising, developing giants like India and Nigeria, as enemies to fight with.

The westerners don't want the darkies to be too powerful, just small, smiley and compliant.

Kiss teeth.

I'm not sorry.

Anybody that romances, likes or supports this Buhari government in anyway is a retard. A real ENEMY of the state.
