what twitter has given me is a platform to express myself to the world, on the contrary zombies are the ones stupidly submissive to buhari tryant/dictatorship govt.
Twitter are just doing the norm,the govt made an accusation its only normal they respond, its not begging. africa largest market that can't boast of one refinery, african giant that can't survive a year without borrowing. what i consider weakling is to be dependent


...but Nigeria will make sure that you are denied the platform to terrorize Nigerians or, incite violence against Nigeria, to order the killings of Nigeria or to give orders to burn Nigerian towns and villages.

When this is said and done, you either won't see your ipob terrorist leader on Twitter or Twitter will put a leash on him or a tape on his mouth.

Nigeria is bigger than Twitter and ipob terrorists or any terrorist for that matter.

Buhari is not answerable to tweeter. Get your thinking right. If anything tweeter is answerable to him. Any business entity operating withing his sphere is answerable to the president.

You don't appreciate what you have nobody will do it for you.

America had their dark days with racism and south Africa with aperthied. Yours is what it is. Fight and be positive. Many of you are scarily too negative.

I was told yesterday by a highly placed source that twitter has been pleading with the government in private for some days now.

Forget about their gra gra in public, Twitter is desperate for the ban to be lifted.

They don't want Nigeria to set a precedent that other countries may follow.

They can't do shit, they have no stake in Africa other than to protect Europe against any migrant crisis that may result if a war breaks out and for France to continue doing its exploits.

What they're really scared of is the flow of finance, where d Chinese yen replaces the dollar which will deal a huge blow to the American economy because they can't rig the system anymore with qe.



US interventionist statement issued by the State Department against #TwitterBanNigeria is simply because of any policy against an American powerhouse is viewed as a hostile policy against the American State.
Your rights to freedom of expression is secondary to the issue. What your government thinks, is also secondary issue.

You know nothing about international policy. Nigeria is Africa largest economy and 21 largest in the world. Anywhere Nigeria go can easily influence other Africa countries and America or EU doesn't want that. China is the second largest economy, imagine the combinations of China, India, Russia and Nigeria? Remove Britain, Germany, Italy, France and Spain other European Union countries cannot match Nigeria economy, Lagos state economy is even bigger than that of Cyprus, Hungary, Croatia, Romania etc. In a nutshell Nigeria is a big market and no responsible country that is looking for where to invest will ignore. It's not about the colour of your skin cos I know many of you think anything America is supreme..... grin

Please help me educate them o. They really don't know their worth.

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.

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?

Truth is not bitter, just that some people are bitter to the truth.

We Rise!
In all honesty, to critically adjudge the matter, Twitter messed up by challenging the sovereignty of a nation they are paying no tax to. They could delete Trump's tweet, but the US government knows what it gets from Twitter and other big tech yearly, so they can look the other way at a price.
The APC led administration did the right thing by pulling the plugs on the app, as a lesson that no one should have absolute power. Moreso, after crypto currency was banned by this same Buhari, even some other developed countries have either frowned at the payment system or either banned it outrightly, showing that some of these decisions are not in isolation.
But what the government could have done is to challenge young Nigerians to create a platform that can beat Twitter in a little time and have everyone encouraged to migrate to it, for the sake of patriotism. Nigerian youths love a little bit of challenge, and they will deliver wonderfully in little time
This is where Oshibanjo could have been useful, as he is a diplomat. I see someone in Buhari's government migrating to K00 already (why is K00 sensored on Nairaland?), the Indian based Twitter spin-off. Apparently, the people in power are not do smart. Having said all this, I still believe that having APC's Buhari in power has not put our best hands forward. We could have done better. Koo

Also, remember TWITTER INSISTED ON FREE and #OPENINTERNET. Twitter will never chose your useless leaders over their millions of progressive followers in Nigeria, not in a million years.

No budging.

Buhari is not answerable buh he is subjectable to twitter term & condition .. maybe una no go school i don"t just understand. Upon downloading the twitter app did buhari not click accept terms & condition.
Did twitter sign any form of agreement with nigeria govt ... not even license hence twitter is not answerable to buhari or any govt. inviting the presidency for a review is just a courtesy

America had there dark days , south africa had there dark days, even ex president trump had went thru his dark days ... they all took responsibility and solve there problem. buhari in his miserable life as never taken responsibility for anything, from blaming GEJ & opposition, twitter is now nigeria problem. if twitter as no record of inciting civil war in any country why would nigeria be there 1st. Every tryant govt has one agenda, suspend freedom speech under the guise of hate speech/threat. to national security.

We go school now, Mr Scholar.
Now, the president is saying that if you want to be operating in his country, there has to be terms and conditions plus licensing. I hope you are not to expose yourself as a hypocrite here.
If Jack Donkey could ban the president for 12 hours, the president should also be able to ban Jack Donkey indefinitely. He needs Nigerian market more than Nigeria needs his platform.


America had there dark days , south africa had there dark days, even ex president trump had went thru his dark days ... they all took responsibility and solve there problem. buhari in his miserable life as never taken responsibility for anything, from blaming GEJ & opposition, twitter is now nigeria problem. if twitter as no record of inciting civil war in any country why would nigeria be there 1st.

If Jack Donkey could be personally using his platform to raise money for the sustenance of #Endsars protests that finally led to killings of over 50 police officers and destructions of multiple multi billions naira facilities, then there is indeed a threat to our national security.
If Jack Donkey could allow his platform to be used to refer to Nigeria as zoo by Kanu and also used to threaten almost everyone in this country for that so long, then there is indeed threat to our national security.
Did you know that after the Jack Donkey ban, he had deleted over 50 hate and threat tweets that belonged to Kanu? Something that he refused to do all these years! That should tell you something.

I don't want to argue the technicalities with you. The common language here is dominance in case you afraid to go into the heart of things.

Nigeria is tweeter largest market as far As Africa goes. But they claim they do not know your president and you let that slide as thou it's nothing. Imagine?. They take millions of dollars from you but pretend you owe no relevance to them. That's dominance language right there. Boarderline on abusive.

What's stop tweeter from marking out relevant individuals as presidents. President have diplomatic pass even at airports. You would think a rational platform like tweeter would recognise this. Apparent jack only recognise himself as head of tweeter and no one else in any confine as head.

So yes Buhari is subject to tweeter guild lines just as tweeter is subject to his. Buhari is operating on thier platform as they are operating on his airspace. So please take your platform from my airspace.

Now ask yourself again who is subject to who?

Respect begets respect.


As for America dark days reference I won't even comment. Because many of you are not honest about solving the problem of the country. Buhari is more a patriot than many of you. He has the wars scares to prove it.

What have you fought for other than division.

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.

Censorship of Twitter refers to Internet censorship by governments that block access to Twitter
