The member representing Daura Federal Constituency of Katsina State in the House of Representatives, Fatahu Muhammad, has expressed disappointment at Nigerian youths, saying Twitter was not food that Nigerians required.

Mr Muhammad, who is from Buhari’s constituency while defending the suspension of Twitter, said social media needs to be regulated for youths to put Nigeria first and face the real problems.

The lawmaker said this on Tuesday during the investigative hearing organised by the House joint committees on Information, National Orientation, Ethics and Values alongside the National Security, Justice and Commerce, on the suspension of Twitter.

“For God sake, what is social media? Are we eating social media? Let us go back to the resources, and harvest them, and let keep this thing aside, and face the real problem in Nigeria.

“My colleagues have spoken the mind of their constituents. If I would speak the mind of my constituents, I would include the president, because out of 360 of us, I am the only one voted by the president. Look, Nigeria first, let us be honest to ourselves, let us call a spade a spade,” he said.

He added that if Twitter was not suspended after they pulled down Buhari’s tweet, the insults to the sovereignty of Nigeria would have been more.

“We should please regulate the media.

“If the minister did not ban Twitter on the instruction of the President, the kind of insults to the sovereignty of Nigeria from the users of Twitter would be more than what we are facing.

“Let us tell ourselves the truth, Nigeria comes first. Sometimes, when I am reading tweets, I am disappointed with the youths (because) we are the future of Nigeria,” he added.

Meanwhile, Buhari has set a team to dialogue with Twitter on the suspension of the microblogging site in the country.

I understand where he is coming from in there part of the world were they live like zombies and backwardness is the norm of the day, no one challenge ideology or embrace new ideas, so information is a threat to them. Cause anything new can soar for questioning...
I only regret living with this set of homo sapiens still roaming about on agbada..

Why am I not surprised
What else do they know apart from food and sex
Someone help me with that pic of that man washing with cow urine

You guys should understand, what he's saying is that, they are trying their possible best to make Nigerian masses cum youth so poor that it will be difficult for us to do any other thing except seeking for food, ur animal level, this place is really a zoo.

But many Nigerians use it to make money to buy food, which is especially useful given the poverty in the country.
