Miss Africa Russia representative from Nigeria, Udeh Chiamaka Victoria steps out with a blood stained Nigerian flag at the recently concluded beauty pageant.
360degreess: Everyone is tired of the inyamris.. They are everywhere in this country but yet they are the ones calling for the division of this country.. They forgot that their entire region is less than half of Borno State.
And their entire population is more than the whole North West combined
buckeyemedia: Buhari is not Nigeria, Nigeria will continue to be here long after the President’s tenure is over, it is not personal, we the people of Nigeria (Federal Government) suspended twitter. Period.
We the people did not suspend Twitter at all. There was no referendum or vote that took place to in Nigeria to Ban Twitter.
The federal government did not even suspend twitter because neither the senate nor house of reps gave approval for Twitter's suspension.
The person who suspended Twitter is Buhari via an executive order; without the consent of any legislative arm. So you cannot say that we the people suspended Twitter
smallsmall: The Platform has NOTHING to do with Nigeria, it is Nigerians that have something to do with the Platform, because Millions of Nigerians earn their living from being on twitter Platform.
I suspect that m0r0ns like you dont know the difference between 'Nigeria' and 'Nigerians'. One is the Country, the latter is the People. The People (Nigerians) can (and will) access Twitter without Twitter being located or registered in Nigeria and the People will still be here, accessing Twitter, long after the likes of Lying Mohammed, Malu-ami, Buhari and their host of fools, are long dead and buried. Take that to the bank.
omonnakoda: If PPP does what it is supposed to do then we cannot say it "inflates" the GDP
That is a misrepresentation A haircut may cost £20 in the UK and 500 Naira in Lagos
A haircut is a haircut is a haircut
The aim is to correct for distortions in exchange rate etc. It does not always reflect "lower" standards of living. It may be a reflection of monetary policy
Some places e.g Switzerland and Japan have a high cost of living it des not reflect higher or lower standards Some countries e.g China are accused of currency manipulation and so cost of living is relatively lower in China. In PPP terms China has a much higher GDP
Also the fact that countries like the UK have hollowed out their manufacturing could mean that major parts of China have a much higher standar of living for much less the cost
You are correct that it doesn't always reflect lower standards of living. But it does pther times especially in Africa's context (when compared to developed nations)
And PPP is based on a lot of assumptions and prone to manipulation (like you have highlighted) that makes it too subjective to be a measure for comparison.
In essence this guy @rossiminku should stop spreading false claims on what he has no idea about
Rossiminku: Dependent dunce, Indians are building their own platforms and jettisoning western ones.
How long will you continue in your dependency syndrome?
See him shouting Twitter, Twitter as if it was his father or brother that built it.
What about YOUR product?
This guy na acute idiot. You that is criticizing me for not building mine; so what has stopped you from building your own social platform?
Buhari that drives Mercedes Benz as official car and not Innoson or Nord Automobile, doesn't that make him the dependent dunce. And you being the slave to Buhari makes you the dependent to the dependent dunce. Foolishness
Princedapace: Oga there are many companies abroad that don't want Nigerians. PayPal is one of them.
Your market is full of fraud. Twitter can easily forget your market just as PayPal as done even though we have pleaded with PayPal. Amazon affiliate service is another. The list goes on. But these companies have presence in other African countries. So, why didn't they choose Nigeria? Middle class kor, Middle class ni Poverty capital of the world with over 80 percent of 3rd hand cars on the road in the entire country. Baba, u really think Nigeria is important? Hahahahahaa. Nigerians use vpn and undergo mindblowing stress to access many websites that don't want Nigeria.
I just pity Nigerians in the south becus they are the ones these policies affect.
Abeg educate the guy, He is clearly an ignorant illiterate.
Rossiminku: Biggest middle class in Africa and biggest economy in Africa, with an annual GDP of 1.16 TRILLION dollars per annum, calculated by PPP (Purchasing Power Parity).
Twitter, by comparison, earned 1.2 billion dollars last year.
That is chicken change for top Nigerian business conglomerates, not to mention the Nigerian govt.
Twitter is shiit compared to Nigeria.
You're clearly a dunce because you don't even understand what PPP - purchasing power parity; entails and you using it to make stupid claims as the dunce you are. You saw 1.16 trillion and your Illiteracy ejaculated. PPP is a discounted technique that inflates the GDP of developing countries because it is subject to lower standards of living, lower income; cheaper labour, raw materials, etc. It is like putting the price of 3 bedroom flat in lagos at the same price of three bedroom flat in london. And this why nigeria's ppp looks high to you. Although i'm certain that the acute illiteracy in you will note make you understand.
What Nigeria makes annually is 400+ billion as measured by gdp. Of which 70%+ is from its oil. Not the ppp nonsense you're talking about
Rossiminku: Twitter needs Nigeria 1,000 times more than Nigeria needs Twitter.
And if any of the platforms refuse to comply with Nigerian law, they will be kicked out of the Nigerian market.
Now run along and go sing for your white master, little slaveboy.
I'm very certain 'STUPIDITY' is your middle name. How does Twitter need Nigeria 1000 times more? You really have no idea of the real-time efficiency and effectivenes that Twitter or social media brings to everyday life.
Instead, you are running dirty mouth over something that you lack in great deal. Your government that banned twitter did not deem it fit to provide an alternative social media platform that will simplify the lives of Nigerians; yet slaves like you are still supporting them. It must be really traumatising for you being a slave on your own land and to your fellow people.
And because you are ignorant of Twitter's efficiency, recognise that many Lagosians (including myself) were able to avoid the Armed Robbery that occurred on Eko Bridge today because of the timely information we received via Twitter specifically; not via any other Nigerian media offline or online
Coldshisha: Oh so Biafra doesn't include Delta again
You are the one who needs to be clearer in your context. There was no reason to associate Okotie and Ipob together. Okotie has never spoken for or on behalf of ipob. And ipob doesn't even make up to 1% of the Igbo population. So why creating unnecessary scene
Daveambition: Either Photoshop or not Jack Dorsey doesn't know who/what is Buhari, PERIOD..
More like he does give a damn who Buhari is. Because buhari is actually nothing but a caricature puppet. The bastard's tenure will be over in less than two years, but Twitter and Nigeria will continue to be there at least into the foreseeable future.
[quote author=IfGodbeforus post=102386840][/quote]The man Buhari is clearly a foolish man who has intentional chosen to remain foolish and ignorant. So what are you begging him for?
ToluNazzal: My name is Tolu and I'm a Yoruba and there's this Igbo delicacy that i've been wanting to try. It's called Abacha or African Salad and I decided to film myself having it for the first time.
Which kind temptation be this now. Wey i don already plan my Beans and garri for the afternoon. Now my mind is telling me to go to Nwanyi Asaba Restaurant for a plate of Abacha.
Nbote: If dis is what is called pothole, then we do not have potholes in Nigeria. Our bad roads can comfortably qualify for wormholes, drumholes and dirt roads
jasmine1600: They deceived Ortom to kill Gana so that nobody could stand their way when they come and he foolishly handed him over to them. Now, they have invaded and killed Tiv people and their warLord is nowhere to save them. If not for ESN and IPODS in d east, Benue genocide would have been a child play. Nigerians should open their eyes, this people are here only to destroy.
joyandfaith: That's why I always say Awolowo lacked foresight. If he was really wise as people claim, he would have fought for independence of yoruba people.
10 Bottles of Don Perignon Gold for you my brother
Olatunji1929: If your bro is not a criminal he will be released but being a MD of an oyel company doesn't mean that your brother can not be a criminal dem no dey right am for face
Is it out of envy that you choose to play ignorant to the menace of an institution called the Nigerian Police. I hope neither you nor your family member will one day be randomly picked on the street and accused of a crime they diddn't commit.
Have a seat, fold your arms and cross your legs (as typical of you the lazy and ignorant nigerian youth). Your numb state is the reason why politicians get away with almost anything. Watch and observe the hardworking Nigerian youths unfold this case, nail the culprits and get sh*t done. ...And maybe one day, you too might learn and aspire to become The Employer and not an employee
design106: Here's the thing. Authorizing the release of the voice notes will confirm 2 things. 1. That Network Providers actually record private call sessions between paying customers without their permission. 2. Make everyone realize that there's nothing like privacy when it comes to the network providers who we trust with our funds and data.
Maybe they're both the same thing but you get the point. Look for the right and legal means to get your facts else you'll just be the same as the evil people who are fighting to keep this matter silenced.
Best of luck though.
Telcom companies anywhere in the world have a database for every single conversation on its network from the day it opens business till the day it winds up. They are only required to treat such data with confidentiality. And they are backed by law to do this.
