[s]You have not answered the question how the fundamental right of the citizen is been violated?

The fg has said the twitter handle is been one unfair in the matter between it's corporate existence and activities of ipob who are anti state.

The fg has not denied it's citizens the use of the internet and other social media apps from expressing themselves

The fg has no issue with other ict players from working[/s]

This statement is then invalid. Since you don't know what is social media and what is tweet.

When you see Ncc tell them that twitter does not have tweets

In my opinion the action of the federal government could attract economic sanctions on the Country. Twitter is one the united states tech giants and if our fg decides to ban them in our country,I see that as starting an economic war against the united states.

Remember that us is very good in placing dictatorial government under economic sanctions and I wonder if Nigeria can survive such.

How will Nigeria survive? These people allow us usage of these apps, so that the world does not tag them racists .

They have lost more money to fraudsters by allowing Nigerians access, than they will ever make from Nigerian users.

Yet, they did not stop Nigerians from accessing their apps. Its now Nigeria that wants to do them the favour of removing Nigeria.

Why do you think facebook did the same? So the government will help them ban Nigeria.

God even save us buhari did not ban Twitter during trump regime. He would have replied with equal measure.
Just because of digital tax being proposed by French government, trump threaten to raise taxes on french made wine.
Nigerians should get involved in global politics this would help her citizens in choosing a sound leader.
I see this action by buhari been challenged in Congress in no distant time.

We have not escaped the harmer yet.

Sure, Congress will surely act and present it to biden in coming weeks. Nigeria handlers are dullards
If Nigeria government were smart, banning was never a smart thing to do. Westerners hate that language especially their own products.
What the government would have done is to raise a bill through national assembly mandating tech companies operating in Nigeria without physical office to be banned. Or put some crazy taxes on them.

mekaboy please go back to your job of defending buhari. I don't like this ship that you are about to jump.

Do you know that without the US we can't even trade. Imagine if they remove us from VISA, paypal, mastercard?

All foreign transfers still pass through US intermediary banks.

For facebook to join twitter, its a strong message.

Without the United states, you can trade.

Is paypal not banned in Nigeria.

Visa, paypal and Mastercard are just companies, there are lot of alternatives.

Not all foreign transfer passes through United states intermediary bank and not all banks use intermediary banks.

Intermidiary banks are just middle men, it is an agreement between 2 banks to help handle international payments.

If USA remove Nigeria from Swift , we won't be able to bank again.
Please before you argue, read about Iran.
Thank you.

You seem not to know much about the banking industry. The world reserves are in USD. Even our reserves as a nation are in USD.

Swift is not owned by the United states, swift is owned by all banks and their headquarters is based in Belgium.

Which currency is your country's reserves? After you government said they will bring the dollar down by allowing direct payment of chinese yuan instead of converting to dollars, what happened?

Ask those in banking for more information.

It has nothing to do with reserve.

All your transactions abroad go through USD, even if you are sending to benin republic.

While the above is true, USA has influenced is operations due to USD as means of international payments.
Russia is currently threatened to be removed from Swift.

United states do have influence but swift is owned by about 3500 banks in the world. They also have to vote to sanction a country

Russia is not being threatened to be removed from swift. Russia is de-dollarising its foreign reserve and removing its dependency on the dollar

Not true.

People in Europe transact in euro.

Here in Nigeria, if you are sending money to Europe, you send euro, to the uk, pounds, to other countries not in Europe, the USD.

Nigeria’s constitution provides for freedom of expression. The Government’s recent #Twitterban undermines Nigerians’ ability to exercise this fundamental freedom and sends a poor message to its citizens, investors and businesses. Banning social media and curbing every citizen’s ability to seek, receive, and impart information undermines fundamental freedoms. As President Biden has stated, our need for individual expression, open public conversation, and accountability has never been greater. The path to a more secure Nigeria lies in more, not less communication, alongside concerted efforts toward unity, peace, and prosperity.

In every bank in Nigeria, you can open dollar, pounds and euros domiciliary accounts.

Yes. But during transfer, USD is the basis for settlement.

No sir.

There is no significant impact!

Twitter already has a reputation of being a purveyor of fake news and agents of destabilization of other countries. It has problem in Turkey Russia India France etc

The total number of users of Twitters in Nigeria is less than 4m - so what is the noise all about. Even our Nairaland has more number of users. WhatsApp is the most used social media platform in Nigeria and it has a wider usage than Twitter by x4 or 5.
