Am not pro buhari..but I respect his stance here.

Sometimes you have to stand your ground. Do let this nerd kids push you around.

Twitter was pretending they do not know who Buhari is What a lie. They just flexing muscles.

If you see a president tweet you are suppose to honor it. Call his chief or adviser and talk with them. You dont just proceed to take it down. Who you be. He using your platform yes but over his elected people. You are not our leader. You don't get to supercede the authority of a democratic leader.. right or wrong is a matter of opinion.

Good job bubu for holding your ground.

As for Nigerian. No white man will respect you if you don't have self worth. Learn to respect your country. They will respect you in return.

This is a move in the right direction. Nigeria is a sovereign nation. Whoever is the president must be respected. Say no to hate speech.

You just have to give it to all these retired generals. They know how to put insolent people in their place.

Thumbs up to my beloved president!!

Twitter not only insulted our president, they insulted all Nigerians.

We Nigerians need to begin to understand our worth as Africa's largest market for many prominent foreign goods and investments.

The foreigners make it seem like we need them far more than they need us. But the reality is different. We all need one another. So, no one is really the ultimate boss. But these arrogant foreigners don't want to acknowledge that fact that we are all the same, and need one another.

I am not surprise buh i thot shame would keep you away, ....
when we all sign up to twitter we agreed to terms & condition, which means twitter have the right to regulate our actions how they deem fit. Did twitter act within its right, fvcking yes.
Recently a young man slapped marcon france president, guess what court decided the case not macron and the guy was sentenced to four month in prison. what is a deleted tweet compared to a slap on live tv ... if it were to be buhari that guy would av been dead by now or 1km to hell's gate.
My point is buhari has no constitutional right to ban twitter regardless of how he feels or how you feel. ... if buhari could go on foreign tv to insult nigerians nd feel he is only expressing himself why should nigerians feel insulted a foreign media insulted there president. just yesteday on arisetv he said the reason for high unemployment is because the youths are misbehaving. is that a compliment.
You said something that i like about pastor chris, he did not like twitter action he simply left, why did he not command is members to deactivate from twitter or threaten to lay curse on any member stil using twitter, doesnt make sense, trump also moved to creat is own platform. Buhari can borrow money for africa buh he can't just borrow sense to rule nigeria. if twitter is nof registered or paying tax in US why would it wana do so in nigeria.

Any government has the right to censor Twitter, or any social media platforms for that matter.

Nigeria will not be the first to ban Twitter. Russia threatened to ban Twitter some time back, and Twitter deleted the contents causing the fracas.

They must comply with all our directives. We are not a small country.

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

The blockheads have a problem with thinking & comprehension. They still don't see anything wrong in what Twitter did - blinded by their selfish & bloody ambitions.

Though,,,, I still don't like you when you comment like a politician & not a Nigerian.

I'm first a Nigerian before any Political Party!

Very commendable .

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?

Twitter must work with the Nigerian government to ensure stability and peace, twitter must censor posts that seeks to promote wars,spread propaganda and lies, against the Nigerian government. We must understand that Nigeria is beyond Buhari.

OMG !! you don't even know censor/gag and ban don't mean the same , your mumuness deserve as an award, you don't know censorship of twitter is synonymous to scrambling our freedom of expression.
No country has censored or gagged twitter, the only thing that can happen is ban, it quiet preposterous that buhari supporters now cite russsia, france buh there tryanny master is alway calling on Uk& US for support & loans. buh when is comes to doing the right thing we remember we are a sovereign nation.
Twitter is only luring naija govt, to expose the dictator we call a leader ... twitter its a global world, they can't change there rules becos of one developing nation.
