I'm disappointed, this is an example of irrational thinking. He can as well encourage FG to ban mobile phone and laptops entirely since yahoo boys use it for fraud.

Ban kitchen knives because women are now using it to kill their husbands and boyfriends.

The benefits of social media can never be overlooked, if not for YouTube I wouldn't have learnt coding, graphics design or game development.

If not for Nairaland, I wouldn't have known freelancing works and how to go about getting clients abroad who pay well.

If not for Facebook, I wouldn't know the best and trending products to dropship.

If not for Twitter, SARS will still be out there killing youths for owning an iPhone.

Whats my own, can they really sensor social media? I don't think it's ever going to happen. Nigerians are very smart people with dump leaders so they will end up paying catchup.

Nigeria truly went backwards by letting illiterate from that region to rule over us in the southern part of Nigeria.

Where are those always saying oyedepo speaks out and Adeboye don't


Hope you can see speaking out is not a guarantee someone has sense, I prefer the way Adeboye reacted to the Twitter ban

Are you saying the USA, China etc that their youths are using social media don't have future?

When his generation didn't have social media what have they achieved for this country with their focus


When has it become government responsibility to parent youths on internet

stanliwise:

Straw man fallacy.
He was talking about the Government regulating it. Not to individuals, we are not kids

IlovePMB:
If you old men dont take time, we the youths of this God forsaken country would rise one day and wipe you all out. You old men who have refused to die or make way for the youths have pushed us to the wall enough. No food, no job, poor education system, no light, no good road, poor healt system and yet the little thing that helps the depressed youths to manage their frustration you old men want to regulate.

If you are a true child of God sell all those your useless private jets and give them to poor Nigerian youths to start up business.

I disagree

When people no longer have strong grip over controlling people, they feel threatened.

It's control freaks that would have such ìdeologies seeing that massive amount of people they once had as captives are no longer captives of their ìdeologies and control.


The world will continue to be a free place for people and will never return to an era where people are dominated and controlled people by fiat

It's control freaks that need to develop restraint and control themselves

Social media doesn't disturb/affect you, doesn't mean it doesn't disturb/affect others.

You be Mumu seriouse one. Name me one country or one office were humans are not regulated or controlled.

Even in the wild were we borrow the concept. You are free to roam. But to roam into lion territory.

TeDesQ:




You're a fool. Since you want to be regulated and dominated, why not go to North Korea.

So the youths should be regulated to use Internet just two hours a day because some people can't stand the competition from other sources of knowledge like the Pharisees.


You're dey think atall?

They have taken away so many things from us...no food, no house, no healthcare, no good road, no jobs, yet they want to take away free speech from us...God why?

Papa God help this country!

All this blogger self, the heading is confusing Oyedepo did not mention Twitter ban or social media ban he just encourage those people that are social media addict

tooloadedtofail:



Do you see why Oyedepo says youths don't think again?

You saw news from Sahara Reporters (that has always disliked Oyedepo), and you made your judgement immediately without thinking of finding out what he really said or implied.

You really think that Oyedepo (who has never begged any man or govt and completely dislikes this regime) that riled against social media regulation in 2019 will suddenly beg them to regulate Twitter?

We really need time to think as he said.

This is the full message below if you care to know. He was talking about addiction and addressing his graduates in Landmark, not government.
