So much noise about the suspension of Twitter. Every Tom, Dick and Harry, including legislators seem to be carried away without any thought. Well, I dare say the FG was right in suspending Twitter.

For a long time before this suspension, when I visited Nnamdi Kanu's account, I always wondered why it was not taken down by Twitter. So much verbiage, misinformation and insults are spewed on his account, but Twitter didn't care. I personally wanted to write Twitter about it, very long ago. Nnamdi kanu uses Twitter to mislead igbo youths. And Twitter did nothing about it.

Also, during the EndSars campaign, some Twitter influencers were paid to "campaign" and Twitter was the main platform used to spread misinformation. That was very dangerous. Nigerians must not forget how Libyans were fooled by the western media to fight and kill Ghadaffi; today they regret it.

So, we as Nigerians must be careful about the interest of foreigners in our country. And keep them under check. Not every country is our friend. The white man is not your friend.

Even though President Buhari was wrong to threaten igbos, Twitter should have handled it better. Nigeria is not US or Europe. Nigeria is in Africa and as Africans, we respect our elders.

Censoring a Presidents account is disrespectful. Nigerians must remember that, Buhari will come and go, but that office remains. The Office of the President of Nigeria, must be respected and protected. We shouldn't allow our dislike for Buhari, ridicule the office. Buhari wouldn't sit there forever. This is the second and most imporrant reason I support the suspension.

Twitter, Facebook or any other company, nation or organization should NOT be allowed to disrespect that office, whether right or wrong. Buhari was wrong but we must respect that office. Nigerians must stop wailing like zombies and remember that Naija is our only homeland. We must be careful to protect its corporate existence. Enough of the Twitter cry please.

Why do southern Nigerians have inferiority complex? An american is insulting your governor and you are celebrating because of hatred, inferiority complex and lack of self worth. If America knew that the big tech threatens its corporate existence it would have since banned it. But they know they have institutional buffers against the antics of the big tech and they are using them to control other countries so they wont set an example that other nations may follow, which will burst their bubble.

I don't know why southern Nigerians worships and lickk the backside of the Yankees. Anyway if a people lack values and moralities they also have such kind of inferiority complex.

I was in UK for a masters degree and saw how my classmates from the south were mimicking the way oyibo speak and even mocked me who didn't, telling me that how would I prove that I had been in the Uk when I come back to Nigeria if I didn'tchange my accent!. Oh boy, how condescending! I just laughed at their inferiority complex, cheapness and lack of self worth.

It is these kinds of southern Nigerians attitudes that even make these oyibo to patronize and look down on us. Get some self worth, my compatriots from the south. Come to north, where even a shoe shiner knows a white man is just a human like him.

Good morning sir. Please read your comment dripping with hate and bigotry against the Fulani and Nigeria again and ask how does this solve the problem of Jack and Twitter bleeding at N513 billion loss of the hard earned money of investors. How does your bigotry and hatred bring back ad revenue to Jack? Which legitimate organisation want to dare FG and run ad on a platform hijacked by IPOB terrorists? Twitter is heading to the rocks!No thanks to your bigotry and hatred.

It took your IPOB terrorists leader 1 minute of hate-filled tweet that costs less than 0.0001 cent to destroy years of hardwork of a $75Billion worth company !

This is my point exactly, if you have built anything worthwhile in life, you will understand that the attitude of most of you Boko Haram terrorists and IPOB terrorists is to destroy what others have built with their sweat and tears and blood. Only a destructive leper does that - he can't milk a cow but can spill the milk able bodied people have milked from the cow. It doesn't take much to destroy sir. Nation building is serious business and tremendous amount of hardwork. It's not tweeting and scaling fence with all brawn and no brain and emotional intelligence.

In life, it's what you sow that you reap. Nothing built on hatred and bigotry can survive. You IPOB terrorists are losing and sharing ill luck from your toxicity and you are seeing the result. Would you have ever imagined by this time last week that Nigeria can ban Twitter? No. There's so much you don't know and still won't know because your judgement is clouded by bigotry and hatred. Thumbs up to all the Nigerian Patriots, especially our patriotic Nigerians of Igbo extraction, who fiight for the progress of the country.This country is your legacy, keep defending it against those who can't build but can destroy.visit www freestuffsng.com for latest freestuffs in Nigeria.All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose. God bless Nigeria.

In case you are trying to blame the FG for the poor aesthetics of the airport in Anambra, then I'll tell you that you are wrong.

Because you might want to start with "oh, FG doesn't like the South East so they gave a low budget project..... Bla Bla Bla.... "

If the state government of Lagos can choose a good design for their bus terminal, Anambra state government is solely responsible for the nature of structure erected within the state whether it is erected by the State government or Federal Government.
The FG is available for funding while the project is handled by the state.

I appreciate all advise being given here, God bless you all. I'm not going anywhere. I have even sent him a message on WhatsApp that I'm not coming , since then he hasn't responded to me which shows that he has a motive to scam me.

In my case I would use a decoupled architecture. That is, separate the front-end from back-end and host them separately.
Front end would be an Angular app hosted on firebase, while back-end would be a Django Rest API hosted on Google App Engine with auto-scaling support to handle traffic surges.
I'd utilize a caching system like Memcached to reduce load on the back-end server, store the user generated contents like media files on a separate file storage service like Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Buckets, host the database separately on Google Cloud SQL, and finally use a CDN like Cloudflare.
This setup would be expensive though, but for a platform that gets such a huge amount of requests I'm certain the owner would be able to afford it.

Upon completion, the Dangote oil refinery will have the capacity to refine 650, 000 barrels of crude oil a day making it Africa's biggest oil refinery and the world's biggest single-train facility. It will also be producing fertilizer as well as other petrochemical products.

The facility is projected to create 70,000 jobs and save Nigeria 10 billion dollars in foreign exchange.

Currently, Nigeria is Africa's top oil producer and oil is the government's biggest source of revenue, about 70 percent of government revenue comes from oil.

Nigeria sits on an estimated 37 billion barrels of crude oil, but the country still relies on importing petroleum products due to a lack of functional refineries.

This is a quick look at how a single project can perhaps change an entire country's fortunes and set it on a new path.

In 2013, Africa's wealthiest man Aliko Dangote signed a multi-million dollar deal with banks to finance the building of his Dangote refinery and petrochemical complex.

Estimated to cost 12 billion dollars, the refinery will produce Euro-V quality gasoline and diesel as well as jet fuel and polypropylene, the construction phase is expected to create 7,000 direct and another 25,000 indirect jobs.

It will be processing 650,000 barrels of crude oil a day which will be fractionally distilled into 50 million liters of petrol and 17 million liters of diesel as well as aviation fuel and plastic products. With greater capacity than the total output of Nigeria's existing refining infrastructure, the Dangote refinery will be able to meet the country's entire domestic fuel demands as well as export refined products.

The refinery site covers an area of 2,635 hectares on the Lekki Free Zone overlooking the Atlantic ocean. This location will enable the transshipment of products to the international market.

The processing facilities at the refinery will include a crude distillation unit and associated facility and a mild hydrocracking unit.

Other infrastructure features at the facility will include a pipeline system, access roads, tank storage facilities, and crude and product handling facilities.

In addition, an administrative building, guardhouses, and fire stations are parts of this facility.

The refinery complex also includes a fertilizer plant that will utilize the byproducts from the refinery as raw material.

The refinery facility will have an annual refining capacity of 10.4 million tones of petrol, in addition to 4.5 million tones of diesel and 4 million tones of jet fuel.

There is one more feature of this facility that most Nigerians and indeed people of West Africa will be most excited about, and that is it comes with the capacity to generate 12,000 megawatts of electricity. Nigeria currently generates about 6,000 megawatts of electricity and it sells a significant portion of that to other West African countries.

Dangote's 12,000 megawatts should be enough to at least kick start Nigeria's industrial revolution.

But not everyone is happy with this project, some have criticized its Lagos location. The refinery is being built hundreds of miles from the impoverished Niger-Delta where the bulk of Nigeria's oil is extracted. Two undersea pipelines are under construction in the Delta and will carry crude oil about 340 miles to the refinery in Lagos.

The Dangote oil and gas refinery remains on track to be operational in early 2021 despite the disruptions caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. Yet critics worry that this will allow Mr. Dangote to essentially take over Nigeria's oil and gas industry turning it into a monopoly.

Most Nigerians will choose a well-run monopoly over the current situation, where getting fuel remains an uncertainty.

Hmm! No video and not on any news platform. Where is your source ,sir ?

Youths in Edo North Senatorial District have rejected Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the September 19 gubernatorial election in the state, after his running mate, Gani Audu escaped an attack by angry protesters in Agbede, Etsako West Local Government Area of the state on Sunday.


The protesting youths who carried placards bearing, ‘Gani is a minus to Agbede’, ‘#Shame to Gani,’ prevented him from accessing the Palace of their traditional ruler in Agbede.

According to the protesters, “It is shameful that Audu Gani will visit our monarch after he failed the community when he served as local government council chairman for eight years and a member of the House of Assembly for four years.”


One of the protesters, Mayowa Akhadelor, said, “The major road leading to Audu Gani’s community was recently constructed by Governor Godwin Obaseki. For us, we can’t stand the shame Gani Audu represents because he failed us in the past and we know he will fail in the future. No sensible person in Agbede and the entire Edo North will vote for Gani or the APC’s governorship candidate.

The youths also noted that “the APC gubernatorial candidate and his supporters have been flaunting what they call Abuja’s backing, which they claim, will help them win the election
