Twitter Ban: Tweeps Not Using Our Networks, Telcos Insist by Nobody: 9:19am On Jun 06, 2021
Twitter in Nigeria are not using their networks to access the microblogging site.

Twitter was suspended in Nigeria by the Federal Government with an order to telcos under the aegis of the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria to make it effective.

However, Nigerians were undeterred by the suspension as they logged on to the platform in large numbers on Saturday to lambast the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), and the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN).

This prompted questions as to whether the suspension of Twitter by the telcos was being done in phases, as some were still able to tweet despite the ban.

In response, the firms said they had suspended Twitter completely on their networks.

The ALTON Chairman told one of our correspondents, “We have disconnected Twitter completely from the national networks. There is no mobile network operator who has access to Twitter as we speak.”

I Saw the news, and I decided to check my Twitter again to know if it is up and running, behold it is...

Nigeria as far as international community is concerned is a toothless bulldog on international affairs. You can't only ban or suspend something you have no idea how it was created. Even tools needed can't be seen in Nigeria.

Meanwhile my Twitter is sound and running though I don't know whether it uses vpn or not but is running fine.

I wish hackers will show the Buhari government that it's not gracious to flaunt your stupidity around as a government.
