Twitter made a statement in which they said they don't know President Buhari and which country he runs.

When you're blinded by hate and self imposed narrow mindedness, you will applaud someone who is clearly insulting you.
Most Nigerians who are sympathetic with Twitter today don't know how much of an insult this comment is to even them.
They see Buhari as the target here but there are two elements in this insult.
Twitter says they don't know President Buhari.
But they didn't stop there.
They also added that they don't know the country he is leading. In other words they don't know Nigeria.

Twitter is brazenly saying they don't know Africas most populous nation and the country with the highest concentration of black people in the world. Twitter is brazenly saying they don't know a country where over 11 billion dollars of their revenue comes from with over 40 million subscribers.


Some years ago Pastor Chris Oyakhilome chose to use twitter to communicate some prayer information to Christ Embassy members worldwide.
Within few weeks Pastor Chris broke the records of having the most amount of followers within such a short period.

In their arrogance, Twitter called Pastor Chris' twitter account to question and described the followership as bogus.

Simply put, Twitter believed that nobody from a place like Nigeria had enough clout to garner such followership within such a short time - a feat that no Hollywood star was able to achieve -.

Pastor Chris wasn't prepared for their drama, he pulled out of twitter and challenged his church tech people to design a platform that the church can use. That's what gave birth to Yookos.

Today Yookos is a formidable competitor with Twitter so much so that ex President Barack Obama acknowledged the giant strides made by the platform within such a short time after it was launched.

Eventually twitter confirmed Pastor Chris' account and "apologized" but it was too late.
Pastor Chris had moved his huge followership into Yookos.

Several years later Twitter is saying that they don't know the country that the same Pastor Chris comes from.
That's arrogance taken too far.

Any Nigerian who tolerates this insult is just a self hating sychophant.

Someone says you and your country don't matter and you're jubilating.
Is that not a serious sickness?

How much are you being paid to utter this gibberish?

So sad�

On Twitter ban matter, they have decided to twist the common sense of their election adopting TWT (Time Wasting Technique).

AnanseK:


Gagging has not started. Allow Twitter to promote war, then you will shout - “ I CANNOT BREATH”.

But it is too late by then, your terminally gagged.

Which stupid war are you talking about?

The Fulanis are committing genocide here and there and it's not war. Are you okay?

What you call war is people defending themselves against Fulani takeover.

Go get your brain examined.

You are not helping things
I support the ban and created a thread to that effect where I have been insulted repeatedly.

Insulting the president is no justification for a ban.

Is there a single day Buhari is not insulted on Nairaland
It is sad and disappointing that on both sides of the divide people are taking positions for totally irrational reasons

You talk about arrogance , insult etc all those things are not relevant.

The key thing is that Twitter is not incorporated in Nigeria and cannot approach the Nigerian courts.

If Twitter was a Nigerian registered business it would and should go to court.
What most people do not question is WHY that is not happening
People need to get a deep understanding of issues and take positions based on rationality and not sentiment
As we were told in mathematics lessons "show your working". Not just the answer.

This would be a successful strategic move if it results in a Nigerian company filling the space. Thereafter we can have political debates about regulation of social media

This should be seen within the context of "NIGERIA FIRST"

As an issue of trade and free speech

Any entity that refuses to domicile in Nigeria should not have the influence Twitter has in Nigeria that is the real issue

If Twitter think they have a case let them go to court
