*Twitter Ban: Evading the Law of Unintended Consequences with Systems Thinking*
Twitter was trending with multiple terms related to the state of affairs in Nigeria.
Twitter is used more as a listening tool, to keep one's finger on the pulse of things.
One look at the trending topics, and you could have a summary of current affairs for the day.
In multiple Nigerian terms on the trending section, one thought the app was experiencing a glitch, showing him trending topics.
After a few seconds, one can realised what the real situation was. There was no glitch after all.
Here’s the breakdown of what happened.
Whenever something tragic or contentious occurred in Nigeria, the citizens would tweet about it, and the topic would trend - TO NIGERIANS.
This meant that even though the complaints and agitations of the citizens were being posted to the public social media platform, the issues seldom ever registered as the trending topics of other countries.
However, there was a twist here which leads us to the Law of Unintended Consequences.
The Nigerian Government banned twitter and this led the mammoth Nigerian youth population to download VPNs to bypass the ban.
On most VPNs, the United States is the default or preferred location.
And so millions of Nigerians who would normally tweet and register their discontent as the trending topics of Nigeria, were now registering the issues on the trend list of the United States.
Americans woke up today confused by terms such as ‘IPOB’, ‘Buhari’ and ‘Malami’.
If the Nigerian government had not banned Twitter, the displeasure of Nigerians would have been localised.
In the wake of the ban, the displeasure of Nigerians was being broadcast to the centre of the world through VPNs, creating global awareness for a matter that would have otherwise remained local.
Most Nigerian VPN users didn’t plan for this effect. It was just an unintended consequence of using VPNs, albeit a welcome one.
Another unintended consequence here is that Nigerians may have now learned how to ensure that topics of agitation are registered on the trends lists of the United States - by mobilizing Nigerians to tweet via VPNs with the US as their virtual location.
The Law of Unintended Consequences can be avoided by utilizing a thinking tool called Second Order Thinking.
*Second Order* *Thinking* posits that there is more than meets the eye when solving problems, and that by solving one problem, we may inadvertently create another problem.
We must therefore rigorously apply Second Order Thinking and even Third Order Thinking in order to arrive at an Ecological solution.
I’ll explain this using another lesson from history.
Back when the British ruled India, thus faced a problem with a rising population of venomous cobras in Delhi.
To solve this problem, the British colonialists launched a bounty program, offering a cash prize for every cobra that was killed.
All the residents had to do, was to kill a cobra and present its body to the British government and claim the reward.
However, the business-minded Indians devised a plan to ‘optimise’ their rewards - they would breed cobras privately, kill them, present the dead cobras to the British and collect the cash reward.
The British were initially delighted to see that cobras were being killed in large numbers.
On the surface, the bounty programme appeared to be a raving success - 1ST ORDER THINKING.
The British soon found out about the breeding operations and terminated the bounty programme - 2ND ORDER EFFECTS.
This now meant that the Indian snake breeders were left with many snakes that could not be sold, and so they set them all free.
There were now more cobras all over Delhi after the bounty programme than when it was first started - 3RD ORDER EFFECTS.
What does this mean for you?
As with the stories of the Twitter ban and the British bounty programme, we must seek to solve problems by seeing the whole landscape rather than what is readily apparent.
We must consider not only the First Order Effects of our decisions, but also their Second and even Third Order Effects.
This overarching strategy is called SYSTEMS THINKING, and Second Order thinking is just one component of it.
Let’s look at another hypothetical application of this powerful thinking tool.
Say you were the Founder/CEO of a Billion Dollar corporation and one of your founding executives was found to be engaged in fraudulent activity.
What would you do?
Well, a First Order approach to this problem would be to simply fire this individual.
Second Order thinking would examine any potential consequences of dismissing this person.
On further investigation, you may then realize that this person may choose to express their disgruntlement by joining a competing organization and use company secrets to strengthen your opposition.
Of course you could go to court, but your lawyers graduated from Harvard Law and would charge millions of dollars to duel with your adversary over the coming months and years.
Considering the cost of the Second Order effects of a straight dismissal, you may wish to act ignorant of the act of fraud and do something else instead.
Create a small office in a far away country which is inconsequential to overall brand image and profitability.
Puff up his ego by offering him the role of Country Manager or ‘General Manager - Diaspora Relations’.
This fraudster would feel valued and stay on your side, while being tactically stripped of the ability to continually perpetrate fraud.
You solved the First Order problem of fraud, cancelled out the chances of future fraud and potentially saved the company millions of dollars in legal fees.
This strategy is used at the highest levels of power - across politics, organized crime organizations, business and even organized religion.
Read this a couple of times over and make your notes on how this can offer solutions past and future obstacles in your life.
As Solomon famously wrote,
"For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.----Ecclesiastes 7:12

When you want to plan a journey, don't just plan the going and coming, also ensure planning the masceleaneous that may occur during the journey so that you will not eventually be redicule. Likewise, when you want to take a decision. Study both the negative and positive outcome of it before implementing it orelse may latter bomerang. Such is the case of the federal government who allowed their emotion to control their decision, forgotten that emotionalism can eliminate behaviouralism.

FalseProphet1:
But zombies on Nairaland are of a different opinion, they believe that Buhari is the best thing to happen to Nigeria since sliced bread, I see them dying of hunger in the coming days cos the presidency is in serious debts and can't afford 30k to waste on them every month.

This I have seen.

Charmingrascal:
We should not sit down idly but when we want to fight back you tag us terrorists, harass and bully us.
Gana that was fighting fulani you sent your Fulani military to deceive and kill him, ESN that is defending Igbos against terrorist Foolanis you sent Fulani Military to fight them, after Igangan attack Igboho and his boys were on the verge of combing the forest surrounding Igangan with the hope of apprehending those who killed people in Igangan, u sent your Fulani Army to prevent him and his boys from accessing the forest.
License Amotekun to carry AKs instead of dane guns you and your Fulani regime refused.
Allow States Governors to control their security architecture you refused.

Yet the mannequin is yarning dust
May God punish you for all your wickedness


Double standard dimwitted hypocrites.

May devil punish buhari for yarning okpata

Mindlog:
What does "behave" mean in Buhari's dictionary?

Behave means " cow shitt licking" in baba cow dictionary.

Ask some renowned cowshitt sucking basterrd on NL eg. suyaman (mannnabbqgrizz) hellanus, masridguy etc.

The basterrds gave up on emselves because of 30k buhari BMC job.

Theyre messed up to the extend that their brains are full of rocking horse shittt.

Franckelv230:
Mumu man

fuckingAyaya:
and the one that won't fry our balls Amen

Last month, me and my baby mama had an issue of splitting..
The next I saw was she holding a kitchen knife..

I knew things could go worse in 10sec, cos I may try to dodge and disarm her but someone might get unlucky cos the tension was high..

I had to calm her down with a soft voice saying "Ok" I yield!
Pls put the knife away, and she did.

Now I'm well and alive, she too is.
Of shitt had gone wrong, it's either I'll be remanded in prison or she murder me and marry another man.

Moral, he who fight and run, lives.

Frontail:

'The order from above'

That one is just a suyaselling basterrd; a conspicuously BMC fiendish ninny and a outrageous gossip -mongering mediocrity -afflicted neophyte zombie with glacially slow cognitive faculties.

https://www.nairaland.com/6543364/bringing-mercedes-lagos-calabar-tough

Now tell me why the car no go scatter racing my Honda weh sabi roads Wella?!

It's only on an empty straight asphalt road the Benz go beat me. But from Lagos- Ibadan-Osun-Ekiti-kabba-Obajana-Lokoja-koto-gwagwalada, chai, I go show am shege.

DAVE5:
Fear God ohh

Na correct I tell am o.
him car with inferior rims and tyres wey burst tyre anyhow upon jamming pothole cannot compete with my Honda factory fitted Alloy rims with Bridgestone tyres on crazy Nigerian roads.

Ehhh!?
Why shukundi whyy?

grafixdon:
Nobody hating on Toyota, I still owned 2008 Sienna. But Honda baby boy 2001 drives better than 2008 Sienna

Uh-ohh!

dadabashua1:
But honestly only few Toyota can enter a conversation when it comes to performance, but it was compensated with reliability and ease of maintenance,when it comes to jap automobiles Nissan and Honda are ahead of Toyota in performance.

Very true..
That's why I said he shouldnt try shitt with Hondas..

grafixdon:
You're missing the point bro. 2014 cost a lot of millions so, the thread isn't about being poor or rich. The point is, know your level, no dey do pass yourself. Mercedes no be corolla mate.

In as much I don't like em Corollas too but you guys should cut Toyota some slacks plss..

OfficialDJ:
a car I modded up to 413HP


He carried a car of 272 HP to race because it's an SUV.. Any 2014 highlander you see for sale on jiji and cars45, it's that dude

Hehehe..
So he'd sell his highlander just cos you sped pass him?!

Chai.

With your 400hp cls, I go still gap you with my Honda Accord DC from Lagos to Abuja.

Sometimes, it's not by HP bro, a better driver can best a 1000hp ride with a 300hp vehicle on a crazy Nigerian highway.

If that croc was slaughtered in Naija for food, some peeps will be defending the monster animal.
