The United States government has warned the Nigerian Government to immediately reverse its ban on Twitter adding that it was tantamount to opposing free speech.

Samantha Power, an administrator of the United States Agency for International Development, made this known in a statement on Wednesday. She revealed that Twitter has over 40 million users in Nigeria adding that the directive must be reversed immediately.

"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 US mission in Nigeria has also issued an earlier statement via its Facebook page pointing out that the ban was a encroachment to the Peoples right to Freedom.

"Nigeria’s constitution provides for freedom of expression. The Government’s recent #Twitterban undermines Nigerians’ ability to exercise this fundamental freedom and sends a poor message to its citizens, investors and businesses."

"Banning social media and curbing every citizen’s ability to seek, receive, and impart information undermines fundamental freedoms. As President Biden has stated, our need for individual expression, open public conversation, and accountability has never been greater. The path to a more secure Nigeria lies in more, not less communication, alongside concerted efforts toward unity, peace, and prosperity."

Done...dem fear America pass dem sef.

Biden must be very stupid

You see, everything you do in life, avoid see finish.

When we go about seeking financial aid like an alcoholic naija police officer despite having enough resources, this is what you get

These idiots in our government are mixture of Al-Qaeda and Boko-haram so anything the US says is off-point to them and their jihadist stupidity

Lolling....

If Nigeria doesn't unban it what will they do?

There's nothing like democracy in Nigeria at the moment.

You mean the meeting FG had with these people to beg them didn't work



Damn what would FG do now, it's them against the entire west o including buhari battery charger country (UK)

Is it India buhari would be charging battery now or China (chinko battery)

This is more important than d ranting by Trump

This is more important than d ranting by Trump. A sitting American President is always d most powerful game changer. U see how God works, by Trump congratulating Buhari over his ban of Twitter, d Opposition Democrats have opposed Trump and by extension come in support of free speech which by extrapolation too favours Nnamdi Kanu agitation. A 100 past American Presidents put together is not up to d command of the sitting American President

True

This thing called politics eh!
I knew the moment Trump drummed support for Buhari's twitter ban,I knew U.S government would respond.
Meanwhile APC online miscreants rejoicing about Trump's support for their Bubu's twitter ban,hope you guys would rejoice more and support Trump as he continues his unending bashing and antagonizing on Buhari's chief borrower,China.
Ofcourse we know how frosty the relationship of China and Trump is & also the how China is in bed with Biden.
It's a season of political confusion...

Trump is a mere pained civilian, zombies can keep holding his word


It is an important straw to them right now, even if he calls buhari lifeless it's no longer an insult to them

LordVoldermort:

Just pray the US doesn't decide to sanction Nigeria for the ban, because many things in Nigeria could be affected. That's what it means to be a world power nation!

Buhari should better keep to his ban and don't chicken out..

China banned YouTube, Twitter and Facebook, what did America do to them?

China is not a democracy

It is either we practice democracy or we move to communism like china

LordVoldermort:

Nothing, because they are civilised and their system works.

China is not a democracy

What's your point? America does more business with China than Nigeria

I believe the statement from Trump led to this.. The Biden government will likely want to counter Trumps Statement while proving a point.

SavagesWillLose:

That's not even the reason.

All USA president have been facing China with sanction if what they do is wrong e.g spying, stealing their copyright etc

They don't shy from sanctioning China

However when it comes to China citizens issues they stay clear because China is not a democracy

LordVoldermort:

What's your point? America does more business with China than Nigeria

America does more business with China, punishes China with sanction when it errs

But stays off interfering in it's internal government policies since China is not a democracy

But isn't banning twitter part of the system?

I mean would China be good if they kept allowing foreign companies to dictate to them?

Bubu them go burn you o

There is a difference between allowing foreign companies dictate for you and banning free speech.

The foreign company here banned buhari genocidic statement which violated the terms he signed up for

Buhari banned everyone from accessing Twitter in retaliation

LordVoldermort:
If Nigeria doesn't unban it what will they do?

They will deliver your Super Tucanos which you hope to to “Speak to Ndigbo in the language they understand” with the speed of light.

Which country is Nigeria’s ally in this stupidity and madness right now?

China, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, right?

Even before Trump released statement USA and the west have released theirs


Trump is the baby late commer here, a mere civilian reacting to the statement of USA government with pains of his history

Buhari is actually waiting for Twitter to apologise and restore his deleted tweet.


It will not happen
