If I am wrong,then you are saying humans hate freedom.

Forget about Trump, Nigeria and America are two different independent countries with different laws.
It was the twitter that supposed to have contacted the Federal government for an explanations regarding the president's Tweets before taking any action. Don't forget they are operating in this country for their own business interest as such, they must be answerable to us. We are the one that should control them, not the other way round

Some people said so in 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s,2000s,2010s. Many of them are late or old. Those alive are still regretting their stupidity.

Commentor:


And they make their money how?

seunmsg:


Really? From who?

I heard you guys have a whatsapp group where you discuss and decide on how to attack some selected handles. Considering the way you’ve been trolling my handle of recent, I’m curious to ask if you’re being paid to do this. To be honest, you’re doing a bad job.

You’re not the first person to troll my handle and won’t be the last. I always ignore them till they get tired and another person is assigned to troll me. You will soon get tired or fired like the others.

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.

I doubt that strategy would sustain a VPN.

If they are on the side of freedom of speech then they wouldn't have removed buhari's comments... They want to control what people say online yet speak about freedom of speech

The danger is that foreign tech companies should not be in a position to determine what is good to say and what is not good to say. It even gets more complicated when the CEO of the company keeps mixing his political views with what users of the company’s platform can say or cannot say.

Another problem is the issue of regulation. A media space that is unregulated will sooner or later create chaos. The media contributed significantly to the Rwanda genocide. We all saw the role Twitter played in the destruction of Lagos last year and the Capitol Hill riot early this year. It’s good for tech companies to promote freedom of speech but they must do so under a define regulatory framework and without political bias.

Twitter is registered as a business entity in UK, EU, India and other advanced countries. They should also be made to register as a company in Nigeria under our laws.

Actually, since there are approximately 7.6 billion people in the world it wouldn’t be ridiculous of me to claim millions of people do not like freedom. This type of persons wouldn’t know what to do with freedoms entrusted on them by myriad of circumstance in the world. Some of these types of persons regularly join the military looking for regimented and or structured existence. And unless you argue that some wars caused by incursion of one force into the territory of another due to scarce resources is same as looting in order to Free the people represented by the aggressor government, then a good many wars aren’t about freedom. Not to mention the efficacy of Freedom concept in relation to differing perceptive.

I can see where you are confusing and deceiving yourself.

Just because someone has not DEACTIVATED his twitter account doesn't mean he has access and is still being active on twitter. I myself used to be active on twitter before the ban. After the ban I stay away from twitter but my twitter account is still intact. Will you say that the ban is not working simply because I have not deactivated my twitter account? LOL. That's where you are mixing things up and deceiving yourself.

Anyway, some people are just incurably delusional and never want to face reality and admit obvious facts unless doing so will not shatter their delusion. So I can sympathize with you.

Koolyarn:


My take is simple: Censorship Vs Free Speech which one wins

authority2006:


Make your point without insulting people.
You made it looks like there are no thousands of businesses flourishing in Nigeria, lol. We don't need to allow people to brainwash us at all. My business is flourishing inside Naija

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

Just imagine - a single, private foreign company DEFYING the democratically elected Governments of some of the largest nations on earth. 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

joyandfaith:


Going by your explanation. From normal distribution curve, it is expected that 5% of populations are not within normal range. It can be assumed 5% of 7.6 billions would love to be in bondage. They would love their oppressors.
There must be freedom of speech and mechanism should be put in place to identify and punish any individual would abuse that freedom. Government should strength public institutions in this regard.

So you mean the dot nation is not sufficient for Twitter to grow? Is that what you are implying?

FuckOsuPigs:


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

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

lol, it's funny how Nigerians think they can even be considered when the chips are down
