Ex US President Trump banned Tiktok and even signed the Executive Order to it.
https://www.npr.org/2020/08/06/900019185/trump-signs-executive-order-that-will-effectively-ban-use-of-tiktok-in-the-u-s

An EXECUTIVE ORDER is NOT LAW.

It NEVER became LAW.

Do some more reading.

Once the US starts sanctions, her boys in the UK and EU will follow.

- Seize their assets
- Freeze their bank accounts
- Ban visa to them and their families
- Ban the sale of military grade weapons and aircraft
- Stop sharing intelligence


the list is endless

I joined Twitter in 2011 before i joined Nairaland when most of these peeps screaming their heads off were playing Snake on their phones.

I watched it degenerate into the trash it became today with unwarranted nudity, sale of hard drugs, insults, threats, influencers with overbloated egos insulting their parent's agemates, fake news and ethnic profiling.

When it was used to coordinate the near burning down of the country during the Endsars protest with the owner in active support, i knew the enemies of the country were taking notes.

The influx of the IPOB crowd with Jacks silent support was the final straw and i proposed it regularly to Govt handles that it should be shut down to remind everyone of their place in the society.

Life existed in Nigeria before Twitter and will continue after Twitter. We can't keep pressuring the leaders to be better when we keep getting worse.

Freedom of speech comes with responsibility.


Now that the US and the west has been made to believe that there is an infringement on free speech here in Nigeria , I won't take it pass them to delay indefinitely the release of our super Tuscano plane or embed them with self destroying device , if push to comes to shove

Seems it's increasingly clear to all and sundry that the response of FG is a masterstroke against those who have allowed bigotry and hatred to ruin their hearts.All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose.visit www.freestuffsng.com to hunt for free stuff in Nigeria.God bless Nigeria.

Trump’s Tiktok ban didn’t hold water, it was quickly invalidated by a Judge.

Well Freedom of Expression, Association of Legal Bodies, Expression of Opinions is a fundamental human right in every Democracy

Twitter is the largest platform where People can air their opinions easily, a legal body everyone has right to associate with

Essentially Twitter is the right to every Nigerian who wants it
Rubbish talk we can't be recolonized again

Nigeria will be better off without the US or its cronies dictating to us what we should or should not do. Look, under their watch what the country has done since independence!

The US may soon start imposing sanctions on this regime.

"There are nearly 40 M Twitter users in #Nigeria, and the country is home to Africa's largest tech hub.

This suspension is nothing more than state-sanctioned denial of free speech and should be reversed immediately."




The more some people want to discredit the Nigerian government ban on Twitter, the more they make a mockery of themselves.

First of all, the original tweet was from USAID. For the obvious dunces that don’t know what that is, it is the United States Agency for International Development. It is just an agency of the American government, just like any other equivalent in other countries, with remit for administering international aid.

The US Mission in Nigeria simply retweeted and some incurable dumbos are gladly posting it here and happily retorting that the Nigerian government has been given an ultimatum.

Shows that Twitter can help give a feeling of being more important than one truly is but it can never give a senseless person sense.

The US and the west have never had our interest at heart.

They ruined G.E.J's chances of purchasing weapons to fight Boko haram by blocking all avenues of purchasing weapons, causing the crisis to blow up.

They don't purchase our oil anymore, it's mainly India that buys our oil now.

Buhari had to switch to China, Russia and Pakistan and they've been delivering in record time.

They're only fighting for their American company to ensure they keep remitting taxes made from the largest black economy, even if it means allowing practices that can burn down the country.

We need to start looking within and stop with this slave mentality of dancing to their every tune.

No Super Tucano?? Return our money and we'll buy more JF-17 jets from Pakistan and drones from China.

They're just as effective and cheaper.

If it's not reversed,US should ensure Buhari,his ministers and other government officials with their families be similarly barred from travelling to the US, UK and all Western European nations.
They can be going to Russia,China and Siberia for their vacations and medical trips.

The US and UK can prevent China or Pakistan from selling weapons to you, just ask IRAN and North Korea.

Complete rubbish, you can't tell a country how to run their affairs.
No one can tell the US how to run their affairs, same should apply to Nigeria.
The US mission should shut the FVCK up.
They were silent when Trump tried to ban Tik tok, all of a sudden now they found their voices.
Rubbish.
Buhari, tell them to go to hell. These western countries actually respect countries that doesn't give a FVCK about whatever they say than those that are submissive.

That's what many of these people complaining take as "Free Speech".

It's really sickening how media houses release inciting fakenews on Twitter, spread the message, get tens of thousands of likes............ then retract or apologize with a few lines, get 10s of likes after the damage has been done........ then rinse and repeat the act over and over again.

We hide our irresponisibilities and criminal acts under "Democracy" , " Rule of law" and "Freedom of speech" too much in this country.

Personally, I feel pained by this hypocrisy by the western government on this issue.

Before going further, Let me plead with both Twitter and the Nigerian Govt to sheath their sword and dialogue.

The Action of the Nigerian Govt through minuscule could gather momentum in other countries and when the traction is maximized then it will come full-blown.

CNN did it and came to a dialogue and life continues

Twitter's argument that freedom to the internet is a basic right does not hold water as the Nigerian Govt can claim that Censorship is going against the UN charter on freedom of Speech.

Why I feel pained by the hypocrisy is simply that it is well-known fact that UK banned Broadcasting of the Irish Sinn Féin for almost 20 years and all western govt supported it.
But when it comes to Nigeria banning Twitter because of percieved imbalance ,we are against such??

I know he would lift the Twitter ban before the end of next week because Dem no born am well make he no lift the ban especially now that he has been threatened by the US.
Yes, Buhari is responsible for your impotence too and the mosquitos in your room.

I know you'll develop a heart attack if you don't blame Buhari for every problem in your life for just 1 day.
