We might not all like T.B Joshua. But he contributed to our tourism sector immensely.

5 years ago, Nigeria immigration service reported that out of every 10 whites that came to Nigeria, 6 came to visit TB Joshua's church.

The man did his part and left a mark.

Those talking rubbish about him should go and work on their own legacy

They will say its IPOB

It's a script

Egocentric President Muhammadu Buhari angered by the removal of his ‘genocidal’ posts had intended to suspend Facebook and Twitter’s operations in Nigeria, a report by Daily Beast says.

The social media giants removed Mr Buhari’s post threatening recalcitrant Igbo youths with genocide because it violated their policies, following outrage by Nigerians who described his statement as “unpresidential.”

Subsequently, the Buhari regime, through information minister Lai Mohammed announced the indefinite suspension of Twitter in Nigeria on the ground that it was used to spread false information and “activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence.”

Many have faulted the suspension saying it violated Nigerians’ rights to freedom of speech and described it as economic albatross.

But a source said the removal of the president’s posts on the social media platforms was “embarrassing,” hence the suspension of Twitter.


According to the source, the president planned to shut down Facebook in the country as well, but his aides advised against it to not seem that it was in reaction to the deleted posts.

“He was furious and wanted to deal with both Twitter and Facebook. The action [the social media companies] took was embarrassing to the president,” the media outlet quoted the official in the president’s office to have said.

“The action taken by Facebook ultimately triggered the ban on Twitter even though Facebook wasn’t affected, things could change in the near future,” another official was quoted to have said.

Attorney General Abubakar Malami also sought to enforce the ban by threatening to arrest and prosecute anyone who tweets in Nigeria, as many use VPN to bypass the blockage. The order came three days after Peoples Gazette published a secret memo of Mr Malami advising Mr Buhari to suspend the Nigerian Constitution and declare martial law to stem rising insecurity.

Daily Beast further stated in its report that Mr Buhari’s action indicated that the “Nigerian leader will do anything in his power to satisfy his ego. Even if it means restricting access to a platform many rely on financially, in a country with a 33 per cent unemployment rate—the second highest in the world.”

Meanwhile, critics and the Minority Caucus of the House of Representatives condemned the regime’s action in a statement, describing it as a violation of human rights.

Minority Leader Ndudi Elumelu on Saturday said, “Our caucus rejects this thoughtless decision of the federal government.” It noted that suspending Twitter “amounts to a clampdown and a direct infringement on the rights of Nigerians to free speech as guaranteed by the 1999 Constitution (as amended).”

Similarly, Nigerian human rights lawyer, Mike Ozekhome in a statement on Sunday, said using Twitter is not a “known crime or written offence.” He argued that the National Assembly had not enacted any law banning the use of social media, including Twitter.

“This government must be ready to build thousands of prisons across all the nooks and crannies of Nigeria so as to accommodate the deluge of ‘erring’ Nigerians,” Mr Ozekhome added

No court is working. Buhari made sure it's not working before he unleashed on Nigeria

Nigerian army is scared of the quantity of arms stockpiled in Igbo land. Starting a war is scary. Garba Shehu said it last week.

IPOB has been stockpiling arms for 5 years before they started this recent onslaught.

Each time you saw custom intercept catche of arms, 95% had gotten to the east.

Nbote:
Isn't that what they have been asking for all this while?? The Yorubas have also seen the light and also want to leave

Once Igbos leave Nigeria. Others will leave.

Igbos don't want war. They want dialogue and referendum. Peaceful exit. No one wants war

The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) says it has reviewed events and tendencies which suggest that the country is headed for more crises amid the calls for Biafra, security challenges, among others.

Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, Director, Publicity and Advocacy, in a statement on Monday observed that Nigerians now live in fear of violence and uncertain future.

NEF said the capacity of the Nigerian State to secure citizens, protect the country’s territorial integrity and resist violent assaults is weakening to the levels of making threats that have no impact.

They added that irredentists are increasingly asserting their influence in the South East and some other parts.

Their statement said all Nigerians are paying the price of failure of two sets of leaders.

“At the national level, the administration appears to have lost the capacity to halt the gradual descent of the country into anarchy. Political leaders in the South East appear to have submitted to violence and terror of IPOB and ESN.”

The NEF said it appeared the secession demand by Igbo represents the popular choice.

“This nation has had to fight a terrible war to preserve the country. The North had paid its dues in that war, as indeed it did in many ways throughout the history of the country.”

Baba-Ahmed noted that under the current circumstances, no Nigerian should welcome another war to keep the country together.

The Northern leaders said the region has more than enough challenges, admitting they recognize that violent secession by any part of Nigeria will compound the problems all citizens live with.

The Forum declared that: “If support for secession among the Igbo is as widespread as it is being made to look, and Igbo leadership appears to be in support of it, then the country should be advised not to stand in its way.”

Baba-Ahmed, however, said it will not be the best choice for the Igbo or other Nigerians to leave a country all toiled to build and have the responsibility to fix.

It will not help a country already burdened with failures on its knees to fight another war to keep the Igbo in Nigeria”, the statement added.

Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), has congratulated 22-year-old Nigerian-American Steve Ezeonu for winning the Grand Prairie City Council election run-off in Texas, U.S.

Mrs Dabiri-Erewa congratulated Mr Ezeonu in a statement by Abdur-Rahman Balogun, Head of Media and Public Relations of the commission.

She said Mr Ezeonu’s victory was hard-earned but well-deserved.

According to the statement, the young Nigerian-American earned 3,903 votes to beat his closest rival Greg Giessner, who garnered 3,720 votes in the June 5 run-off.

The run-off saw Mr Ezeonu (Democrat) getting 51.2 per cent of the votes against Mr Giessner’s 48.8 per cent.

Mrs Dabiri-Erewa explained that by emerging victorious, Mr Ezeonu proved “hard work and dedication to duty pay.”

She pointed out that she was not surprised by Mr Ezeonu’s victory because his resilience, dedication, doggedness contributed to his success despite his young age.

The NiDCOM chief urged other Nigerians to imitate Mr Ezeonu’s feat and strive to excel in their pursuits as “hard work is the key to success,” while urging them also to continue to demonstrate the spirit of resilience imbibed in Nigerians.

How many times.

Start with Politicians and their children

Una sure say this is not the first FEMALE IG. look at her again

The owners of Nigeria have spoken

Divide this country so that IPOB can stop causing insecurity.

But i know that once that's mentioned, all Fulanis loose erection

Let's not forget we had an option to reject Buhari but chose him out of 59 candidates.

We went ahead to say 4 + 4 . We need to bear him for the next 2 years.

Even though i know that Fulani doesn't trust anyone in Southern Nigeria to hand over power to. They will create more chaos so election doesn't hold. or he will hand over to the military by a well sketched coup.

My advice to him is to not travel outside anymore.

If he travels, he will not return anymore. if he returns, its to come home and die.

The west are waiting for him.

Akuko uwa

Tinubuadvocate:
[s][/s] stop instigating problems.

This is the country Fulani copies in everything, including mumuness

This man.

Buhari has been able to religiously divide South West.

Never has this ever happened.

Buhari is evil.

2 years more and he is gone for good

Gbam, gbammer, gbammest

This Akeredolu is is the only voice of reason speaking up in the South. A real SAN. erudite lawyer.

All reasonable southerners must rally round him and stand by him.

All other governors are without balls. Whatever Abuja says they say yes sir.

Kai, upper cut

The midget has not only defied Malami but mocking Twitter on Twitter platform is the height of idiocy.

Hellrufai can't do without Twitter. That's his retirement base when he leaves office.

Ok

vasel15:

Let the men take the lead first

All i know is that Igbo women are audacious and bold. Fearless and ready to act when men become lilly livered.

Aba women riot is a case in reference

BMC is working so hard to legitimize the buffonery of their pay master.

Tell Buhari not to travel to America, UK or EU anymore. If he travels, he wont return. If he returns, he won't last 6 months.

Keep this post. Osinbajo should get ready. Nigerians will laugh last.

Ok

Ok

Beautiful family.


Tell Buhari not to travel to UK, U.S or any European country again. If he does, he might not come back, if he comes back. He won't last another 6 months. He has crossed the line with the west by touching American corporation.

Abuse me or say anything dont say I did not warn.

Ok
