Well said bro.
But the issue here is beyond opportunity for Nigerian techies, it's about the breach of the freedom of speech verging on empty pride and personal vendetta.Don't be surprised with this attitude, they'd ban Nairaland too.

Concerning insecurity we know Buhari can't solve what he is supporting.He pretends not to know what to do.

Unemployment? That one pass dem.

Born2conquer:
Twitter is suddenly a greater issue than Insecurity, unemployment and police brutality.

People won’t care until their money source gets affected! Lol!

If we could allow Ecowas to serve Buhari for twitter suspension, why can’t we do the same for the numerous insecurity facing Nigeria ranging from bokoharam and banditry in the north? To herdsmen issues in the south?

What about the issues of police brutality and economy dilapidation? Dollar to naira was 360 last year but it is presently dingling around 512 today!

WHY IS TWITTER BANNING CURRENTLY EVERYBODY HEADACHE? Twitter is a private organization and i believe Twitter should be the one negotiating or doing the sueing if they feel they’re unjust!

I even feel the banning should have spurred a NIGERIAN Or seun Osewa to have reposition Nairaland to Twitter position in Nigeria, the power twitter is wielding is too much and I believe a tech guy can harness that to develop a competition for the Nigeria market, apart from Nairaland, what else do we have?

Nigerians baffle me, they will rather leave the important problems and focus on the unnecessary ones and that’s basically because most people especially the influencers makes money from it (untaxable money)

Let’s use same ENERGY to convince ECOWAS to SUE this government for the numerous atrocities (if we feel they’ve commited any though)

Yes, i am not in support of the ban and we are doing everything to possible to get it restored.

But bro, if we direct this energy everybody (all nigerians, US, EU, ecowas and all) are directing towards twitter issue in Nigeria to other issues facing Nigeria then we might have developed past where we are presently?

Even USA, EU sent envoy down to Nigeria because of Twitter? Broooooo
All these countries sent ENVOYYY to NIGERIA because of TWITTER? Brooooooo

Thousands of people killed this year and the ourside countries are not agitating or doing meeting with BUHARI, ecowas no even invite Buhari.
You grab my POV now?

You are trying to sound intelligent but missed the real facts.
Just know this, Twitter helps to keep this government in check especially in human rights violations.
For example, if there’s killing on unarmed protesters such as the Shia group, it trends on Twitter and the government is sad about this because countries all over the world hears this.

If there’s Fulani herdsmen killings, it trends on Twitter and people criticize the government for not taking solid actions about these guys.

Now that Twitter is banned, the government can kill at will and we will depend on newspapers or TVs to hear about it whom are also barred from reporting same.

You see why Twitter ban is very wrong? If you still think that it’s a minor issue, then you’re just not thinking right. First vent about insecurity is on Twitter and that’s where you have ‘mostly’ learned Nigerians and not those easily swayed by religious and nepotistic tendencies. These wiser Nigerians reporting insecurities to the wide world keeping the government in its toes are whom they’ve barred from doing so.

First step in fighting insecurity is allow people share information of whatever insecurity they saw in their land and not just depend on NBC controlled journalists.

If you don’t still see reasons why this is also a fight of insecurity with the above reasons then you’re daft

Hello Sir, am i in support of the BAN? No! Steps are being taken to restore it and we already have agitations in progress from all parties involved.

But the ATTENTION we are giving the TWITTER issue is making it seems as if other issues battling us are irrelevant

The attention given to the ban is very very necessary.
If people refused to raise the dust so high, the next step(s) would've bn more disastrous.
The government was heading towards gagging everyone.
They will make it a crime for people to talk wtout first of all taking permission from the government.
They will cage the media and your right to information will be denied you.
The noise was not just for Twitter, it was to avoid the next steps the government was planning.

Psoul:



Stop talking like an illiterate/ I hate it wen people I believe should be reasonable are becoming wisdom eroded.
Twitter is one of the fora in which people's voice can be heard.

You can't fight insecurity without communication.
You use this major forum to tell the whole world what they need to do and what you are doing about the insecurity you are talking about.
People also use the forum to tell government that they are not doing it right at a particular time.
The FG knows the importance of this forum. Their only problem is that they don't want to hear any form of criticism.

Ultimately it’s not for Twitter, US, Uk, EU etc to enforce Nigerian laws and Nigeria citizens pressuring them to do so maybe treasonable. Your right to pick up arms against the Nigerian state, under the relevant conditions, does not oblige America or the world to do same.

Imagine the way Jonathan is still representing Nigeria in development capacities and very relevant personality World wide after his service as a president.

The uncouth minister of lies, he will attack CNN, Twitter, social media, gbogbo e, and I am sure he is coming for ecowas.

How can you serve hearing notice for president wey get ear problem

This below is why I shouldn’t debate further with you. You campaigned in 2019 for the tyrant despite his failures since 2015, bros enjoy Nigeria and stop complaining of people killed as if you didn’t ask for it

I miss the buhari we actively campaigned for in 2015 and 2019, the buhari of then was outspoken and wasn’t shy of the camera
WhAts happening now

Ecowas n UN are Useless organizations
What about the daily killings in d north Nd south
Na twitter b Nig major problem

This is like a local govt council sueing a governor Nigeria owns and sponsors ecowas

Each country is sovereign, they have their envoys here(ambassadors) who are with us. They didn’t send them down to Nigeria because of Twitter ban. They are already with us.

Because each country is sovereign they can’t come and have meeting on security with us without invitation.
Why they are talking about this ban is because information will be trampled on and they won’t have any means of gathering information(except through a government they don’t trust) about the security situation here so that they can inform their citizens what to do

CardiNice:
Wait a minute it's not like i am in support of the ban but what did they do to china after they banned twitter, Facebook, Instagram and whatsapp?

I don't like the way this people are bullying our government, it's provocative as a citizen.

you are a very honest person, but the fools . Where on earth is banning an app human rights violation? Despite the government explanation,instead of a nigerian app to rise and filled the space they are here making noise.. so annoying set of people, so annoying.. My God! Some people are hellbent on stopping the Nigeria state of functioning . They gather here ...the only place they can spread their negative and hatred.

Gbam...

Who is ECOWAS? I cannot stop laughing ECOWAS that Nigeria is the one paying their bills wants to tell Nigeria what to do. Make dey just waka pass this one no concern them.

Why is Twitter worried? They can stay in Ghana.

Racoon:
Same Buhari whose government does not obey the ECOWAS court judgements but went to borrow food grain from same ECOWAS food bank?

Buhari is just a notoriously lawless tyrant.He have no regard for the rule of law.Remember he once sought for absolute powers but was rejected by the then Saraki-led senate.Let see whether he will also ban ECOWAS court or spurn its summons.

Buhari is not aware of all this ... I'm telling you his just working with advisers.. right and left...

There is COW in eCOWas, I tell you Buhari will never appear in that cow court.

Nigerians doing the dirty work of their foreign slave masters.

Wonders shall never end.

Is Twitter so important in your life or you can not exist without Twitter that you have to sue your own country?

Anyway, this rubbish is dead in arrival, Ecowas just dey do protocol.

Is it the same ECOWAS Court that granted bail to Col. Dasuki and Nnamdi Kanu? Falana knows that the decision of the court won't pin Buhari. Person wey no dey obey our regular court orders, e come be one West African court.

AnanseK:

Rubbish. Who is ECOWAS ?
There was no Twitter before 2006 and heavens did not fall.
The Twitter ban in Nigeria is now 10 days old and heavens did not fall.
I pray that the Twitter ban becomes permanent.

Illiterate
It's about infringement on people's right and not twitter

Twitter only just need to change its logo to cow and gbam!, the suspension would be lifted ASAP

Which freedom Baba block now. There are different social media for airing your views. Twitter is just one of them owned by just one person who doesn't see anything wrong in insulting the president of the most populous nation in Africa. Besides, Jack, the owner of Twitter, is ready to beg, why are 'gbaranmideleru' taking the matter to heart. Nigerians sha.
