Human rights lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, SAN, has asked the Federal Government to go beyond the suspension of micro-blogging site, Twitter, and “dissolve the Nigerian people which it has become so allergic to and no longer wants to see or hear about”.

The senior advocate also said the government is trying to cover its atrocities from global exposure with its decision to suspend the operations of Twitter in the country.

He made this known in a statement on Friday titled, ‘When A Tottering Government Twiddles Twitter’.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that Twitter deleted a post by the Nigerian President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Tuesday.Consequently, Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, announced the suspension of Twitter on Friday, citing the “persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence”.

Mobile network operators also said they received a directive from the Nigerian Communications Commission to block access to Twitter in the country following the suspension by the government.Reacting in a statement, Ozekhome said, “Well, I am not surprised that the Federal Government has suspended Twitter operations in Nigeria. Are you? I have always said that this Government has a very thin skin for criticism. It is a government that cannot take punches, but delights in always giving punches to adversaries, real or imaginary.The Government knows that Nigerians now express their resentment and protest through Twitter, by telling the whole world how Nigeria has been turned into a corruption haven, and a sprawling field of butchery, extra-judicial executions and slaughtering.

“Those in Government do not want the world to hear about their atrocities. So, they just gleefully tell the world that they have suspended Twitter and that they would soon license other OTT and social media operations. These people in Government know that Nigerians have been reaching out to the whole world, and they are very embarrassed that the breeze has been blowing, and the smelly backside of the fowl is always being opened for the whole world to see and smell its odorous side.This is the same Government that undeservedly rode to power using the same Twitter and other social media platforms it now detests.

“My humble appeal to this Government is that it should go further than this. It should actually suspend or dissolve the Nigerian people which it has become so allergic to and no longer wants to see or hear about. Then, it can now go ahead to elect or select another people in place of the present Nigerians who appear to have become a nuisance to it.

“I am greatly disappointed about this government round and round. I feel very sad as a Nigerian being led by a Government of one scandal per day.”

There are Three Brothers of the same Foster Father (BRITAIN) but different Mother's. Two of them says they are tired of living together and they want to go their separate ways.

But what is baffling me is that one of the Brother doesn't want the other two brother to go leave in Peace. WHY?

Is Staying Together by force?
Now the Tranny Brother has shut down the Voice and Speech of Freedom.
Can't My Brother Live without his other two brother Ni

Facebook deleted buhari message too but why is buhari not banning Facebook

Exactly. Since he pukes anytime he sees Nigerians happy he should go ahead and nuke all of us. Nonsense

Africa is not due for self-governance; we still have a lot to learn.

Dem don make one mistake, you want them to make two?

It's only BMC Morons that are yet to realise that Twitter is not begging anyone, Twitter has nothing at stake with the government. Crypto got banned and became more popular, Binance adapted and provided a good P2P platform. You can't fight your people and win. We will just end up having a way to access Twitter specially.

Abi now. He is acting like small god

You people should stop oo. you better don't suggest it to him. That was how probably Twitter Ban was suggested to him and he took it.

Oga you should direct them message to Garbage Shehu please cause bubu no even know say naim be the president

It's a pity

The hatred is too much...but it is the same hatred that will consume them eventually.

Rtd General Mohammed Buhari is a despot and that was EXACTLY what we warned people about in 2015 but they didnt listen.

E bi things

Be careful what you wish for

Na small small…buhari don dey enter express!

All I know is it wont end well for this govt!!!

Omo make Nigeria just divide abeg

I am partly happy and partly sad about all recent happenings and the high handedness of the government.
.
Partly happy because it increases the voice of secession and attracts more sympathizers both far and near.
.
I am partly sad because we will have to endure all these hurdles till we are finally free.

Very wicked evil cow govt

Rather than banning social media he should ban internet all together as Nigerians will find other means of bypassing the ban just like they are bypassing the one on crypto currency....

This move might just fast track it as Nnamdi KANU is getting free publicity from this government and this would probably getting more sympathy.....

Ode ipoob kabukabu lawyer..

You better go and join unknown gunmen....


Clowns..

ChangetheChange:
Buhari dissolve Nigeria now----End of Discussion

He and his mallam brothers would rather a million times.

At least, he should finish what he started then everyone will rest and have peace of mind

It all started by being so desperate to silence the one loud voice of Easterners who spoke on their resolve to leave Nigeria by staying at home on 31 May.

Now they have dragged FG into the condemnation of the entire world as FG responded with fierce genocidal tweet!

MNK is a genius.

Very funny

We are waiting for appropriate time to dissolve the country but certainly not now.

When one thinks ipob pigs are not wise they give one more reasons to believe oneself.
When things were favourable to this ipog pig he didn't call for dismemberment of country.

Dissolve Nigeria make we rest abeg

You ban internet and the whole Nigerian economy collapses immediately. No Banking, No e-commerce. Everything will ground to a halt.
