lastchild:
there's an argument going on here in a barber salon, Twitter and Facebook, which one is a bigger platform in the world?

It's Twitter. Even some countries like China ban Facebook

Raychee:
His ego was bruised . To them if "Almighty" Bubu cannot use Twitter the everyone else has to suffer for it too. If Donald Trump was banned who the hell is Buhari? Nonsense!
You're only above the law here . Nobody recognises your position elsewhere . Continue exercising your dictatorship in your own country. Outside here you're powerless!!!

. Not just powerless but a lifeless vegetable. He is just d commander-in-chief of d other room. A cow sperm product.

As leaders, we should go beyond emotional reactions to issues and think about how our actions will affect the people we lead and our international ratings socially and economically.


Apt, by the way, northerner hegemony are having a family meeting, their resolution is to be quiet now...

.

They are only adding salt to the injuries of the youths and every other aggrieved persons.

When you guys talk I laugh

Illiterates who claim Buhari is an illiterate.

Now lemme explain what a ban on twitter means.

1. Big and notable companies and institutions CANNOT dare tweet —-

2. No official business can be conducted via twitter for now

3. Notable “individuals” with key interests tied to government and their parastatals cannot also dare tweet.

Those 3 above will cause a shift in user base for twitter in the short term BUT here’s the catch Nigeria has opened pandora’s Box now lemme see how many governments Twitter will be treating with disrespect going forward.

Government big pass company, as we speak US Ambassador go don dey mediate with FGN towards resolving this impasse.

Those of you shouting VPN have no idea about the difference between access and accessibility

manduwem:
Actually he doesn't need to appeal. Ban on twitter in 9ja is like erecting a gate for a compound without fence.

Somehow I support PMB on this. Let Nigerians use other platforms. Tweeter is a business operating in Nigeria and shouldn't be allowed to trash our president regardless.
Besides, I have read PMB tweet severally and couldn't see how it breaches their rule, there was no word like genocide in the statement other than the insinuations.
Tweeter can't colonize us againc in this modern age!

You have far change Monika from Emz to this nonsense now. Na so you go keep changing..Anupama.

This na leader way him head correct, not the old ignorant fools in Abuja. Truly age doesn't mean maturity/) wisdom.

Buhari and his crew just expose themselves to the world

SultanOfPuna:


This reminds me of Iran emotional reaction that backfired on them.
After Trump killed their General
On 8 January 2020, a Ukrainian plane was carrying iran and Ukraine passengers from Iran to kyiv, Ukraine.
It was shot down shortly after takeoff by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

Because they were so emotional that they couldn't reason with their heads.
They saw a plane flying and thought it was USA plane.
Without confirming they launch missoe on the plane. Only to find out it was a Ukrainian plane carrying Iranians and Ukrainians.

They don't reason first
They just burst out emotion and it later backfires on them. Na their way

Islamic ways. Very backwards coward

Nigeria which way abeg

Audio governor... Want to use the situation to his advantage.

nonsense so u support dis useless govt......

zingywingy:
Nigerian Youth on twitter only go their for half bake news and cruise. Banning twitter will not affect anything than curb the spread of fake news.

Moreover, for Business owners, lets move to IG and see how to make the best of it. Also, there are some local platforms too that we can encourage. To me, we cant put interest of social media ahead of our national security.

Deleting president tweet is not just about deleting any random person tweet. It is a national disgrace.

Is it not a national disgrace that fulani herdsmen men is allowed to murder poor villagers? Why didn't Buhari ban open grazing that was unanimously agreed in southern Nigeria?

I have only this Monika since 2013, just do a simple check. The rest I will respond when u are matured and confident enough to interpret whatever you wrote.

rookidmart:
How was he able to access Twitter?

this further shows Buhari is not in control of anything even the telecommunications space of Nigeria - he is so useless that what he banned is not banned - that means all he says is rubbbish and all his promises ? a heap of bigger rubbish

Are you guys really okay?? Twitter is a private company a private company !!! And it deleted the post ofthe president of the federal republic of Nigeria.. retired general. Now you said they should send relegation to Twitter headquarters.. you guys are mentally handicapped mental slavery is disturbing you people.. what right does Twitter has to delete the post in the first place why can't he warn him in the first place??��������� Happy Nigeria������

Coldshisha:





Buhari should have delegated people to go to twitter headquarters and dialogue with them showing the effects of civil unrest, people who had died since the whole saga and why tough measure is needed to forestall another Boko Haram ISWAP crisis

EndSARs loss is an example of why we must be careful of another civil unrest

Trump's ousting and government change is also an example why Social media especially Twitter shouldn't have absolute power

fridayakpos:

Facebook is bigger based on popularity and registered users but when it comes to most influential then you talk of Twitter..every other politician and billionaires are on Twitter but you can hardly see them on Facebook.. Again Trump made Twitter very very popular I think the world information revolves around Twitter currently

You are too daft. He made a point concerning the status quo and you cant see that.which kind mumu you be?

You were cursing yourself simply because we have different views, it shows how much education you have. How are you different from the Buhari you critique so much?
incidentally God hasn't given men like you power to determine what happens to others. Shameful

Your reference is relative no one is planting bomb or using missiles here...just protecting your country against platforms that terror leaders, mischief makers can find a leeway. And don not forget if the CIA wants Twitteer to compromise thier work in African who the hell is twitter to say no...make una wiseup..i beg
