Twitter Ban And 2023 Elections by dionflex: 12:31pm On Jun 05, 2021

While majority of Nigerians are against the said move of the FG to sack Twitter from the country's internet space for different reasons bothering on Human Right and Economic Benefits, I'm looking at the Implications of 2023.

Firstly, we would remember how the EndSARS Movement was well broadcasted through the microblogging app Twitter. Up to 60% of publicity of the movement was achieved through the BirdApp.

Secondly, we can't overlook the addition to electoral credibility that social media has given to the country's electoral system.
Twitter and other Social Media platforms has given Political Parties and Individuals the necessary Publicity they have used to reach the teeming youthful population in the country especially in the Southern Part of the Country as opposed to Radio's, an almost outdated means of Mass Communication in this 21st Century.
It has also helped candidates and their sympathizers publish eyewitness account of goods and bads of the electoral process including human right abuses and electoral fraud.
Also, election result collation has been even easier, as most of the Results from Polling Units up to General Results collated are posted online before even televised collation and announcement even takes place.

Thirdly, it is a quicker link to local and international organizations concerning elections in the country including the country's Electoral Umpire INEC.

Think about what we'll be denied in 2023 without Twitter including an alleged mass rigging up North.

What is our fate in 2023?

Many social media platforms exist to use in monitoring the elections. Twitter wasn't there in 1999 and we didn't die so we won't die if it's nowhere in 2023.

Stop acting old-fashioned.
We know the work made easy Twitter and other SM has done for us during Elections.

Maybe you should get off the internet space since we didn't have access to it in 1999
