Aboki brain that's not how to attract foreign direct investment. You don't threaten or coerce people to do business in your country. You make your country a business enabling environment so investments can come.

I wonder if State's decide to take over their resources where you people will run to. Quota system is not real education, please pick up a book and learn.

They will come and register with CAC, get NCC licence , have a physical office in Nigeria, hire our teeming youths who are ready to work and pay tax to Nigeria las las.

The era of where they repatriate 100% of their ad revenue in Nigeria as forex back to their country and pass on the tax bill to Nigerian businesses to pay FG is over.

Nigerian Corporates that pay millions of USD for ads like our banks etc don't do VPN. So no ad revenue for them until the suspension is lifted.

Their 'lose' (pun intended) in ad revenue is the gain of other social media platforms including platforms like Nairaland.

I'm sure if they offer you a job you'll leave your zombie job and jump at it.

Funny enough, Nigerians are still using Twitter despite the ban. So my question now is, who is losing? Click Like for Twitter, Share for Nigerian.

to click"like" and "share Nigeria", is it from setting?. No such thing there.

NGpatriot:



What Nigerians are making or not on Twitter is a mirage, no evidence or statistical proof anywhere to back it up with.

In fact, going by this bogus and propaganda article, how many Nigerians were interviewed or their business data, earnings and bank deposits analyzed to come up with their rubbish figures.

Too many Nigerians lack intellectual curiosity, they don't question anything, they just read and swallow, especially when they are being influenced politically, tribally and ethnically.

Ok. So why did the minister go to the US to seek a solution. If twitter is losing, why have they not come to Nigeria to negotiate as the govt offered them?

Since you don't agree with the statistics, why don't you come up with your own let's see. The internet tool used to arrive at the conclusion is named in the Op.

Bunch of lies.
Infact most of the youths were saved from wasting their data on frivolous gossips and grapevine stories on twitter. A serious minded business person has Facebook, email and gsm no to advertise his product.

Lol you're always missing from VAT thread. Do you support FIRS

Hahaha... Good morning sir.

Incidentally, I was asked this same question personally on a group platform a day after the court pronouncement won by Rivers State.
My views were that most of these laws handed down by the military need to be challenged and I wish the brilliant initiative taken by HE Wike was led by my governor, HE Sanwo Olu, because Lagos , historically, has been at the forefront of the fight for the entrenchment of true federalism.
The only thing I wished HE Wike would have done differently is not to plagiarise the FIRS Laws including the 7.5% VAT of FIRS. I suggested then that he should have proposed a lesser percentage and I reckon Lagos got such cue and settled at 6%.
The reality I am seeing now is that states currently lack the capacity to immediately start the collection of VAT and if they insist on starting immediately, we may return to the chaotic system again so, in my opinion, I will rather suggest a phased period of transition and collaboration between the FIRS and the states IRS boards. The politicians can also give more chance for the professionals to manage this situation. I believe they will manage it better than the politicians.

Twitter targets Nigerians for roles

Despite not siting its Africa’s office in Nigeria, Twitter made clear its target market is Nigeria, apparently given its population.

In its job advertisements, the company said of its curator positions: “This role is based in Accra, Ghana and focused on Nigeria.”


https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/454888-why-we-chose-ghana-over-nigeria-others-twitter.html

The Twitter crooks are tying to swindle Nigeria by going to Ghana, it was a crooked move to hide in Ghana and make all its money in Nigeria.

Nigeria is their main target and market, but they don't want to pay taxes and fees in Nigeria, even after recruiting our talents...


Thank God, Nigeria is countering their dumb moves. If Nigeria is your main market, and you are making money within our walls, you must establish and office and pay all the applicable taxes just like the nest man or any other business in Nigeria.


It said the ideal candidate to occupy the positions “should have a deep, non-partisan, understanding of Nigerian news and politics.”

Lies. And how much did Twitter lose? And how much are they paying you as an Influencer?

egoldman:


So if twitter lose also then we are ok? What kind of mentality is this?

that's not the point. We all know the reason the FG ban Twitter, irrespective of how we pretend it's false. So when publications like comes out, it makes it sound like it's one direction the loses is felt.

I don't like your political stand but you try to sound so civil.
I agree with you on this. The sharing formula needs to be changed by force for a greater southwest in my opinion.
Most especially a greater Lagos which is my concern.
A lot of federal project been handle by lagos government yet you take our money to share it with others .

They keep posting these numbers, but I don’t know who the ban affects apart from Twitter. If this news was true the government would quickly revert the decision. See the oil subsidy protests for example, when the daily costs were evident after two days, the government yielded and came to an agreement before the end of a week.

What a fake statistics, and pathetically some gullible Nigerians believe it. Who loses the money? Twitter had never been paying a dime to Nigeria government before it was banned, so evidently, government did not lose any money. Nigerian people that were using Twitter for their business have made use of other platforms, none of them complained of any loss. So, where this did unfortunate figure come? Did the Twitter ban stop us from buying data? We continue to buy data and telecoms continue to make their money.

N247.61 Billion, Haba! Kilode? Two Hundred and Forty Seven BILLION, not million.

Woe betides the liars.

Thank God for vindicating Twitter thank God for VPN that’s how we sef go lose millions because of one God forbid

When your citizens are being banned for their natural right who wants to be invaded after every small thing. Deal with your nepotism and hatred for your fellow man then all men will want to come and do business with you

The report uses analytical tools from the World Bank, ITU, Eurostat and the U.S. census. The result is what is published for you as news. If you want more info about their parameters, you can write a mail to them to request for such instead of coming online to denigrate what you can obviously do no better than nor have even the basic knowledge of.

Check yourself. You have not said anything remotely intelligent to counter the report since. Only casting insane aspersions like an average political urchin.

Stop lying, just show us how they arrived at that number, show us the Nigerian businesses they interviewed, their financial earnings, bank data and business traffic front twitter before and after.

It's easy, do your due diligence..

A Government that can ban Twitter but cannot ban Punhub, Xvideos.com and many other porn websites. Is that one a Government?
How can your youths be addicted to such immoral websites and u go to block Twitter that gives room for intelligent arguments?

So the falsehood peddled on twitter is intelligent

I didn't make it up. I only checked out their website. It's common sense. That's what you should do before you start casting aspersion on the report.

As I told you, if you want more info, send a mail to NetBlocks. It's common sense again

I'm not the one doubting the report. It's you so go and bring your facts to counter a well researched report bros.

Do something smart for once instead of being an online political hack.
