150 billion? No, it is not triviality.
You that is experienced what understanding do you have? Sales of of what, that would amount to 150 billion lost between June and July. I am not counting august because August just started.

Keep believing the lies you are fed.


I wasn't even sure if I should reply you or ignore.

Na real wa oh, see the way you are hyping N150b as if an entire country cannot do transactions worth 10x that amount in 2 months via social media. I'm not surprised though, it's the extent your mind can comprehend. In the last 2 months alone my wife and I have paid for goods worth over 150k on Instagram so why would it be so hard for 200million+ Nigerians to do same? I really don't understand your argument.

Let me break it down further, depending on what you are buying/paying for, the "average" price of items I have bought is around N20k to N25k. According to NetBlocks Nigerians lose N100 million from Twitter closure every hour, going by the payments I have made, if every Nigerian that buy on social media pay as much as I have that would equal 4000 sales every hour. How is this too much for a country of 200 million people? I am not even talking about the millions lost to Influencer marketing every day as it stands now.

Open your mind and do some calculations, it's too closed from what I see. 150 billion Naira is not too big for a country as big as Nigeria but I can see the sheer sound of that amount is blowing your mind. Everything is lies to you guys, do some calculations, no you won't. You are only interested in arguing against anything that doesn't suite your inferiority complex laden narratives.

Suffering and smiling since way back

Failed country governed by unfortunate people.

This good for nothing useless Nigeria government thinks they are punishing twitter, not knowing that they are indirectly crippling the economy.

Twitter has more options(countries) Nigeria is just one out of it.

The same way this useless government, shut borders for months, but when hunger and inflation want to kill the masses they open the borders.

Anyways I’m not surprise, Nigeria government system is designed to inflict hardship and suffering on her masses. And the worse part is the masses are enjoying the suffering , hardship and poverty inflicted on them by this oppressor and yet they are still in love with those that inflicted hardship and sufferness on them.

Its affecting everybody, a friend of mine who runs a viewing centre find it difficult to show Chelsea vs Tottenham match just because with VPN you can't connect your smart TV with cast,

On sunday during arsenal vs Chelsea match we bought the right on 5th stand but after collecting 100 naira and paying up to 5k with fuel it didn't worth it so we decided to view it through hesgoal or any free stream but at first half dunk showed and went off in half time so i discovered twitter site playing it but you can connect with VPN and you can't connect WiFi while VPN is on so therefore we can't connect the cast on the TV

Na so we lost money yesterday......
Next time check for the app that allows you hotspot with VPN.

Lol. You should have ignored me. Because you are not sounding like a sane person.
Even if your wife and yourself have bought goods worth that amount (150k) in that space of time on Instagram, how many people in Nigeria use Twitter?
The percentage of people that use Twitter in Nigeria is low. that is before Before you now start talking about those that use it for selling and buying, which would even be lower.
So, stop thinking that 200million+ Nigerians use Twitter that's false.

If that is false, you and your netblocks' calculations are false!

Oga rest. There is no basis for Nigerians losing 150billion between June and July 2021. Shey Na gold and cocaine una dey buy and sell for twitter? grin

Ah sorry oh, this one categorizes himself as sane lol grin. Do you know there were 40 million Nigerians on Twitter alone according to NOI Polls before the ban? You have removed all doubts I'm talking to a normal human being. I actually know your type now, sorry I descended so low. I can't help you unfortunately as you are mentally limited and proudly ignorant.

Stop exposing your level of exposure. Nigeria is key to any global economically or politically interested body. Please come out of your room and see the world. Mentioned 3 globally recognized bodies that has no interest or presence in Nigeria.

Ur second paragraph is confusing but let me guess u are still talking of the authenticity and in that case, u were not getting something based on ur previous comment where u attributed the amount lost as effects on advertisement and promos on Twitter whereas the mother write up actually made it clear that such amount got lost due to the high expense of the technology needed to restrict Nigerians from using Twitter n not on business. No fighting, I like anybody wey correct me especially without provocations l guess u do same


Alright, I feel you.
So here is what I am saying:
https://netblocks.org/cost/

Click the website, put Nigeria as country, select any social media platform, put the number of days you want.
Write the result down.
Then change that social media platform, don't change anything else, see the result. Keep changing the platforms, then let's come back and talk about how authentic the site is.

Also, scroll down and read the measures they use in reaching the results they churn out.

See, no need for all those, just give them the website to check the fake figures and measures used:

https://netblocks.org/cost/

Make Una check am. Try other social media platform and see that the result is static. Then read the measurement used by scrolling down
