I wonder what the presidential candidate of ApC gonna campaign with.

evansjeff:


Okay...but how exactly?

MansoryMX:
Was Twitter banned? Because even with ordinary free and cheapest vpn you can find both in android and IOS you can use Twitter perfectly

phemmyfour:
If you're using VPN, then it's ban

evansjeff:
It’s no longer news that the Federal Government has lifted the suspension of Twitter in Nigeria. Since the news broke yesterday, many Nigerians on social media including this platform have been of the opinion that this is connected with the 2023 elections, some argued that they lifted the ban because they know they need it to campaign for the elections.

Now, as a neutral, I’ve found it difficult wrapping my head around this argument, because recalling from previous elections, one may say that if favours the current administration more to continue with the suspension as many who voted them into power do not even use the platform, in fact, some of them don’t even know what it is used for or how to use the platform.

Again, considering the fact that the government is aware that many young and smart Nigerians use the platform for stern criticism of the administration and could be an important asset in exposing the negative activities going on the country and thereby affecting their chances in the forth coming elections,

How many Nigerians even follow government officials on Twitter? Even those that follow them do so so as to have an opportunity to criticize them directly.

So I’m still trying to figure out how this is related to the 2023 elections and I hope comments here can help.

In the United States once something is banned! No amount of Vpn you use can give you access! So...?

Ok

Simple, since the banning of twitter this wicked administration pushed Nigerians to start using VPN and the use of VPN has had adverse effect on the govt ability to mine data necessary to track the online moods of Nigerians ... Secondly going into campaign season with the twitter ban active would be very counter productive to the APC as the opposition will use it as clarion call to rally more youth against the APC.. thirdly the effectively only prevented the govt agents from pushing their own narrative on twitter as regular Nigerians and opposition figures used VPN to continue to push their narrative against the failed govt and the govt had no presence there to even try to defend itself ....the biggest losers of the this entire ban was the Federal Govt , Corporate Customer Relations and advertisers like us

dat9jaguy:


To the discerning mind what you wrote up there is gibberish.
The greatest opposition from social media against this government is from Twitter. It makes sense for them to keep the ban to minimize noise during this electioneering period.
As for things you wrote up there, twitter is not the only social media site.

SarkinYarki:


Nigerian twitter never closed , I never noticed anyone missing except banks and govt officials and besides VPN even made it easy for us to trend issued internationally
