Kperogi: "You Can Ban Twitter, But You Can’t Ban Rebellion Against Injustice" by oshozondii: 8:59pm On Jun 06, 2021
You can ban Twitter, or even the Internet, but you can't ban the righteous emotions that injustice animates. Or the rage and angst that people ventilate on social media as a consequence of injustice. Only justice, equity, tact, respect, good governance, etc. can ban them.

Nigeria isn’t dysfunctional and insecure because of social media; it is dysfunctional, insecure, and tottering perilously on the brink of the precipice because of the incompetence, irresponsibility, and intolerance of the Buhari regime, easily the vilest and most insular regime in Nigeria’s entire history.

There was no Twitter when Nigerians fought totalitarian military juntas to a standstill. There was no social media or even mobile telephony when Nigerians organized and resisted the cancelation of the June 12, 1993 election, which ultimately ended IBB’s ruinous 8-year misrule.

To think that banning social media or shutting off the internet will cause people to suddenly make peace with oppression and injustice is to be guilty of the most vulgar version of technological determinism, which is the wrongheaded idea that technology, not human agency, is the singular motive force of human actions.

People use social media; social media doesn’t use them. People will organize and fight with or without social media.

If you don’t want rebellion, remove the conditions that birth and nurture it. It’s that simple.

The Propagation of Fake news of Britain warning Twitter is what they come with to advance their evil act.
The News of Britain warning is a highly Misleading heading and a fake news.
Nothing of such happened. They are trying to use fake news to justify their evils.
