₦airaland Forum

[b]Since it is beyond the powers of Ohanaeze, the elites, leaders and elders of the Igbo Biafran region to control IPOB, which in your own words, has taken over your territory, mind, body, spirit, and soul. We understand. We sympathise.
We, the North, Alrewas, Hausa-Fulani, or whatever you call us, agree that Igbos should pull out of Nigeria, in whatever way you want to do it, by referendum, by an act of the National Assembly, through the UN, or even by simple declaration. We fully acquiesce. You can have Biafra tomorrow. Read our lips. We have been saying that. Feel free to pull out. Leaders of Ohanaeze, and all Igbo elites, stop trying to explain, do not complain again that you cannot control IPOB and its ESN. No need. You want to go. We want you to go. Please, go. Just go. No fight no war.
We shall continue supporting and promoting your separation from now on. No need for structural adjustments since after the separation we shall all do our new structural adjustments.
Anybody that wants to separate can go ahead and do so as well. No compulsion to stay together. As for Igbo the earlier the better we share your aspirations, we are tired of being in the same country with them.[/b]

MansoryMX:
So this what they use Niger Delta money in teaching you at Almagiris school. Wonderful!

Yes, not palm oil money from the erosion ravaged tiny IPOB enclave of SE.

Fayose is a brainless thug and he is always ready to prove it.

I can never love twitter more than Nigeria.
Nigeria is our heritage. We have no other country than Nigeria. We will be peaceful without your twitter which has turned into an IPOB online machine for destroying Nigeria.

athaboi:
hungry man...if they give you the contact now, you go join them just for 5million

That’s IPOB talking. They see nothing wrong in crime. Morality is not their concern. Civility is not part of their culture.
Please please please let the IPOBs have their Biafra for the whole world to know and protect themselves from international crimes.

Gambit23:
No one in nigeria is begging IGBOs to go, Rather awusa-afonja have been insisting that IGBOs must stay and they have even fought a war to make sure that IGBOs stay back in Nigeria

We now know that Igbos and their evil are unredeemable , Nigeria has tried enough. Please go, we are tired.

Gammfreak:
Buhari is a big fool. He deserves to be sucking cow's nash as breakfast.
He is so daft that I pity this country when his tenure expires.
I pray Nigerians will learn when all these is over, though I doubt if the illitrate and stupid northerns will learn.
The best is to divide Nigeria into 2:
Northern and southern UAR

IPOBs wishing that they can trick SW and SS in accepting them. No one wishes to even be your neighbor IPOB criminals.
Even the Chinese , the Indians, Western Europe and the Americans have identified you as criminals and misfits.
You will have your tiny Biafra Enclave and none of you will be allowed in a New Nigeria without strict and limited visa stamps on your Biafran Passports.

We have to check this news out for reliability. Trust is everything.
If FFK reported the sighting of the Ramadan moon, would Muslims start their fasting?

Gambit23:
The north and Yoruba are unity beggars though

Nigerians are begging you to go. Do the necessary, if you are indeed serious. Who wants unity with your type?

Sonoyom:
This is one of the most Stoopid thing i have reae on the internet.
I will make this quick NIGERIANS need Twitter more than Twitter needs NIGERIA. Moreover Nigeria does not deserve my patriotism!

Speak for yourself and who needs your patriotism anyway?

# we stand with Nigeria

[b]*TWITTER VS. FGN*

In 2020, India banned over 60 Chinese apps including tiktok yet its citizens never came for the government's neck. We are a sovereign nation, we should not be ruled by foreign business entities.

Twitter is not food, Nigerians should thank the government instead, because these are imported apps used to indirectly undermine our independence, subvert our sovereignty, milk our earnings and make us overdependant as well as enslave us.

Twitter as a business entity should know better than to bite the hand that feeds it... They need you more than you need them and yet they are so brazen and flagrant about the affairs of those who kept them in business. Any Nigerian that is so willing to participate in modern day slavery can relocate elsewhere.

This is just the beginning, next we will severe our Naira from the evil umbilical cord of foreign currencies, by banning importation of all luxury items, especially from the US. This is show of power, a test of sovereignty and you should be ashamed for dragging your government over this.

And don't give me the crap about "I use twitter for my business" because it is twitter that use you and your business for their business. there're 99 other ways to advertise your business.

Some of you cannot even breathe successfully without tweeting, your addiction will either kill you or you kill it. It is time to face the music. Other social medium will take a cue from this incident and learn to respect one of the largest social media market in the world.

I know you may want to argue that Donald Trump never sanctioned Twitter when he had issues with them. Yes! because he couldn't afford to, he couldn't because twitter adds to the GDP of US, whereas it adds zilch to our GDP.

India as mentioned above was once upon a time, one of the largest consumer of tiktok before their government ban it totally since 2020.

This will serve as warning to other entities who have reposed allodial powers upon themselves, who have become the jury as well as the judge. America need Nigeria more than we need them. We'll cut them off like a cancer if the need arise, drastic situation calls for drastic measures.

Who is bleeding now... who is the boss? you deleted his post without fair hearing, he banned your money milking, money draining, secret leaking spy venture without a second thought.

I have never been more proud of my President. I am deactivating my twitter account henceforth solidarity to my President, suspension or not. Let's bleed and shrink their robust account balance to size.

Contrary to popular belief, including myself as a layman in telecommunication I must add. Twitter server does not have to be domiciled in Nigeria before the country can have the power to suspend its operation within its border. All that is needed is to nullify the app on all spectrums. Facebook server was not domiciled in China, but one cannot access Facebook therein.

Considering the size of twitter as one of the juggernauts in the world today, one might be inclined to ask: Was the action of the Nigerian government illegal?

The Answer is an outright, No! This move was carried out by the Association of Licensed Telecommunication Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) who received formal instructions from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), the industry regulator to suspend access to Twitter,”
⁣
ALTON having conducted a robust assessment of the request in accordance with internationally accepted principles and based on national interest provisions in the *Nigerian Communications Act, 2003* , and within the licence terms under which the industry operates; acted in compliance with the directives of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) the industry regulator.⁣

This is not a one off occurrence in the world as countries like; Egypt, China, Turkey and Turkmenistan have officially blocked Twitter before us.

You see, Twitter app was "prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of Nigeria, its defence, security of state and public order."

Dear Twitterzens, remember where lies your allegiance. You are a Nigerian first before anything.... be loyal, be proud and be patriotic.

[b]Nonsense
Now that he is about to lose $11 Billion worth of market value from the country he passed as insignificant.
Twitter owner, Jack, gives free space for terrorists and insurgents to push out contents of violence that destabilizes Nigeria but tries to Censor President of the most populous black Nation on earth for threatening Criminals killing and destroying facilities.

Jack actively sponsors and aid anything akin to disorder in Nigeria in the name of Democracy (where everyone can do anyhow) but in his country (USA) he bans all identified protesters on Twitter who sought to access the Capitol, (his country's National Assembly) and called them terrorist, insurrectionist etc.
Let Twitter apply for license (from NBC) to operate in Nigeria officially as they do in Europe and Ameria. Open office in Imo State, then employ Nigerians and pay 15% tax to Nigeria from his Nigerian revenue, as he does to US, Europe and soon for Ghana. Basically, Jack and his Twitter should have physical investment in Nigeria and become a stakeholder and then we will see if he will continue to allow terrorist to use his platform to preach violence.

To Nigerians, When Your country is set ablaze you won't have money to buy phone or data to access Twitter account.
Nigeria �� First

okeyglm:
shame to buhari. shame to bmc. twitter power pass buhari power. we the patriotic Nigeria shall continue to be torn in the flesh of zombie.

What is “torn”?

Curious345:
I am Igbo ,but I want a united Nigeria

Please, I beg go with your people. All Igbos in the North will go back to their new country Biafra. There are Igbos in every single village in the north and hundreds of thousands in the northern cities. Not a single one of them will be left behind. They must all move back to Biafra. In the same manner all Northern people living in the SE must return to the North.
We can think of diplomatic relationship after 20 or 25 years of separation.
The north is tired of their arrogance, criminality , immorality , Antisocial and anti-establishment behavior. Please let them go. Anyone who wants to go can go as well.

Twitter colonialists on rampage around the world

datola:
Is that so?
I appeal to to FGN to reverse the decision because of the negative impact it will have on the already bleeding economy.
People also should be wary of what they post online.

Twitter is working for the destruction of Nigeria. You cannot substitute a bleeding economy with bleeding men women and children.
Twitter can leave Nigeria for ever if peace will reign.

Echara:
It's a pity. There's no Igbo name like Onus.

Onus for onion I believe.

Charles Onionchukwu ( Onus for short).

The Onion thieves, no doubt.

mastertek:
So you are one of the idiot that benefits from this evil government.
Don't worry, millions of unemployed youth will join UGM, and you know what's that's means.
People like you will be roast.
Nitwit' what is the difference between Nigerian security agent, government officials & criminal? Waiting for your answer

I will ignore you, because you’re a child.

Cowardly posers. Just empty vessels

The overrated Professor of story telling. He will never condemn Nnamdi Kanu the Terrorist and what he is doing to the country. The old Cultist will never condemn killing of policemen and destroying INEC offices but see him come to life when Twitter is suspended. Is he lobbying for another literature title from his masters?

Abasilim:
Are these governments you mentioned practicing democracy? Ignorance would be your undoing

Does it really make sense for you that twitter doesn’t delete the Nnamdi Kanu Terrorist commander assigning murders of Policemen and military personnel and encouraging arson , and burning down of INEC offices?

Do you really consider yourself learned and Democratic and others ignorant?

That’s more like the Buhari we know and we elected. Carry go sir. Twitter should not be allowed to destroy our country.
