lol, some of you think Nigeria is so consequential

Nigeria is more than consequential, no international company will joke with a country of over 200million population.

They will be making mouth on behalf of Jack..while Jack is busy thinking of ways to "unite" Nigerians. The difference here is...Jack is white and knows when to beat his chest..the other is black from the dot nation and feels the only thing you need to beat your chest is your hands

Lol these useless people rate themselves too much...go and check the countries that uses Twitter the most...neither Nigeria nor India is in top 5. And to even think both are countries are poverty capital of the world respectively

This mumu posts...you copy an opinion piece wan pass am off as CNN.

Have you try to study twitter policy , rules and regulation ? First, tweets must be reported before it can be flagged and possibly deleted.

Twitter is online platform. I think Nigeria is a signatory to open internet and freedom of expression as fundamental human right. Twiitter products and services can be assessed from Nigeria just like we can assess thousands of products without those companies having physical offices in Nigeria.


Twitter did not cause Rwanda genocide. There was no social media then. If there was social media, genocide might have been prevented because world would get to known about it immediately.

Reckless shooting of lekki protesters trigged waves of violence that erupted after that. It was not Twitter that first broadcasted it. People watched it in the live Instagram and the clips were shared via whatapp and Facebook. I think government should worry about whatapp and Facebook. The users of those platforms don't question source of information. Twitter users are known to question source of information. They are more mature and professional.

Government can regulate anything it wants. I am certain that if regulation is to prevent people from criticising the government , populace would find means of mobilising against it which may lead to civil unrest or war. Government should always open to discussion or use information in social media to solve problems.

Humans are borne free in all ramifications. Governments are known as oppressors. Ecc 8:9

Like this like this, Jack is loosing money..
Not good for business at all...

Is it today?
Many Nigerians have bandwagon mentality. Sheep!

I have come to realize that most people on Nairaland don't think before they write. Most people on here kept criticizing the government (of which they aren't right to pull the plug on Twitter but also not entirely wrong to have done so considering the circumstances). Below are my few takes on Twitter:

1. It was highly disrespectful for Twitter to locate their African office outside Nigeria when at least 40% of their revenue in Africa comes from Nigeria.
2. They ought to understand the geopolitics of some countries and should not think what applies in the USA would automatically apply in Nigeria or elsewhere.

Only the people from the Dot Republic think Nigeria is not consequential.

Like I said last week, the ban is bad business for everybody. Nigerian users are affected, FG international agencies image is dented in the west and Twitter losses lots of users and also its invisibility.

If the ban is prolonged, Nigerians will find alternative platforms, FG will find a way to launder its batteries image and more countries will ban Twitter if it doesn’t change the way it is currently operating. Whatever is the case, this is not looking good for Twitter.

And I hope you know that its worse for Nigeria and Nigerians? Investors will be more careful to invest in Nigeria more than ever. Young Nigerians who showcase their businesses on twitter can't do it again. In fact, there was this guy I met on YouTube, we were meet on twitter to discuss further, the next day twitter is banned and so I've not been able to get him. There are a lot of Nigerians who were doing their business purely on twitter. This government is shameless. The question is what did twitter do wrong? A president went against their rules and his twit got deleted, and it became a Nigerian problem? So stoopid of government.

Who is the Gaint of Africa?

Is it Buhari or Nigerians ?

The giant of Asia is China.

Maybe Japan

But never India.

China and Nigeria are both authoritarian hell holes, hence why people from both countries rush to get their money (and children) out of there.

So some people should have the freedom to destroy Nigeria abi?

Most social media are built on fundamental of human existence - freedom and liberalism. Humans love freedom and that is the reason wars are being fought. Any platform that will not guarantee freedom of expression is likely pro-government and any platform without bias for people will make people to jettison such platform.

It is now people v governments in many lands with social media on the side of the people.

Nairaland for just use this opportunity launch better app

We no longer giant of Africa, stop receiving yourself.

Twitter should be compelled to have an office in Nigeria, they make the highest incone in Africa from Nigeria and as such must open an office here. It's an aberration to ditch Nigeria for Ghana. For crying out loud, Ghana has just 3million users while Nigeria has over 40million users.

Just imagine - a private foreign company DEFYING the democratically elected Governments of nations across the world. The temerity. The arrogance. The blatant audacity.



Uncommon Common Sense.

With Ko.o, Indians like their Nigerian counterparts, are already speaking in the language that arrogant nerd at Twitter understands and an outright ban will be the final nail in the coffin of the company's growth & expansion plans

They are talking about southern nigeria with Christian northern part of it.

How many aboki or foolanis are educated enough to know to use Twitter.Stop hiding under Nigeria to feel important cause you foolanis are not helping nigeria in any way.

If your brothers in Niger or Chad bans Twitter nobody will even notice it

Posting anything you like is freedom of speech. You can use your month to abuse Alaafin of Oyo but you must face the consequences. That is freedom of speech.
Twitter is just a platform to express opinions and there are rules and regulations governing it.

You still didn't answer his question.... Where is the freedom of speech if you continue to talk of freedom of speech and at the same time reporting people comments to be deleted?

I didn't know Twitter have rules and regulations when they allowed their platform to be use by one terrorist who instructed his gullible followers to burn police stations, kill security agents and encouraged the destruction of private and public properties

The truth of the matter is that, Nigerians use facebook more than twitter. Another thing again, this is an opportunity for Nigerian developers, to come in and fill the vacuum left by twitter's suspension.
