If they like they should not unban it! Twitter NG no longer cares! We are using our VeePeeEhn peacefully and getting Nigerian trends and gist on our timeline. Nigerians have resumed offering their goods and services once again! The community is still as vibrant as it was!

On the other hand, the stupid ''K00'' app BMCs , Zombies, and the Nigerian Government ran to is actually riddled with malware, making it vulnerable to critical worm attacks!

Twitter will be unbanned with or without Buhari. As for Lai Mohammed, Abdulrahman fall on him.

Twitter should go to CAC and register. Build physical office here, hire our teeming youths and pay tax. Anything outside these conditions is not in our nation's best interest.
Una go wait tire. Ban or no ban, Twitter is still making its money.

I thought our tech expert will come up with a sane social app..

Shame on all these computer this or that we have in Nigeria and Africa..

All computer courses in Africa should he scrapped as they’ve all failed woefully by not having any computer science or tech student to design a social App..

Stop talking from your ass. There are lots of social media apps developed by our so called Nigerians. But you don't hear them cause anything developed by your brothers aren't recognized or supported.

Twitter has moved on without Nigeria.

Nigeria overestimates it's importance for real

But common sense has it that every business is out to make profit. If it were making losses it would have closed shop. How do they pay workers? Don't believe everything you see on the net.

Twitter should go to CAC and register. Build physical office here, hire our teeming youths and pay tax. Nigeria has lost billions of dollars in unremited tax by Twitter that the microblogging site should have been paying all along but local businesses pick up Twitter's tax and pay huge social cost of Twitter including providing its platform for terrorists and vicious state actors killing our patriots and innocent citizens.

Anything outside these conditions is not in our nation's best interest. What's source for the goose is good for the gander. Twitter should do the needful. God bless Nigeria.

And watch government policies and insecurities kill it like they did others.
Please what happened to gokada.

False sense of " Biggness "

You dey mind Twitter? And some questionable persons will go around thinking that just because Twitter is some white owned, Western company, no African nation dares raise objections at anything it does. undecided

Sir, there's shareholders funds and companies can use asset to get loan so the fact that a business makes losses is not really a problem as much as losing a key revenue earner. For Twitter, in Africa market, Nigeria is a significant revenue earner. The financial reports I recommended that you read is the one submitted to the SEC, regulator of publicly listed companies in the US, I am not recommending that you read news report or blog sir.
My point is that Twitter needs Nigeria more than Nigeria needs it. And for a loss making company like Twitter, losing the Nigerian revenue is bad news. Like I stated, I don't want their ban outrightly, they should come here and register with CAC , hire our teeming youths, pay tax to Nigeria. If they are involved in the progress of Nigeria, they will think twice before yielding their platform to terrorists because they know it will hurt their employees or business investments.

It’s more than a social app for Naija by Naija. How would the app link the world? Twitter does a good job of separating by locations, yet linking everyone to each other just by a trend/search on the app

You clearly don’t know, what you are talking about.

Go to http://finance.yahoo.com all Twitter financial reports and fundamentals are there.

Twitter also reported its revenue for the last quarter around last week of July and their Ad revenues went up 87%…and that was the quarter that included the Nigeria ban.

Twitter is not loosing sleep over the Nigeria ban. It was Nigeria Government that announced a ‘high profile’ team to negotiate with Twitter, did you hear Twitter announcing any team to negotiate with Nigeria?

The FG said all OTP apps should register with CAC as they are operating illegally….the last time I checked none have registered…so why is the FG not banning Nairaland, Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. They thought Twitter will come begging and believed that nonsense about projected revenues from Nigeria now they are regretting their actions.

Most PDP politicians and many Nigerians use Twitter and some APC politicians do also; these politicians need Twitter more and as 2023 draws nearer you will start seeing of them including APC running to Twitter to campaign.
