It's interesting how pmb's minions are trying so hard to twist a narrative.

PMB went against Twitter because he felt hurt that they rightly took off his tweet. His action was based on his ego which he couched as national interest.

By the way, the US got a court order to seize those sites, which one did PMB obtain?

Colonial idiot.

How is a warrant from a government agency, the same as court order.

A Nigerian government agency issued a warrant (order)for Twitter to be banned in Nigeria pursuant to relevant sections of the antiterrorism and other applicable laws in Nigeria.

A USA agency issues another warrant (order)blocking Iranian news websites.But idiots like you will go any length to justify the latter and condemn the former.

Every country has a right to defend its territorial integrity by whatever means ,but many imbeciles like you,would do anything to ridicule their own country.

"Court order"against freedom of speech is okay by idiots like you,provided it's coming from USA,abi?

Whereas they only quoted their law to justify their action,the same thing Nigeria did.

Nothing like court order.
Court order by which judge?
What's the name of the court?

Now Iranians and others living in America that wish to visit the news websites,have been deprived of their rights,in a country that hypocritically preaches human rights and freedom of speech.

Can somebody explain

Fahdiga1:
All this miscarriage of justice under the lifeless. Buhari has destroyed Nigeria and every fabric of our national existence. He has succeeded in turning our constitution upside down just to have his way. People who comes distant fourth in elections just like Hope Uzodimma can now be declared winners once they are on the side of this brutal regime. We never had it this bad

Idiot.

Very soon you will blame Buhari for your failures.

You know the constitution more than the court.

Any thing not in your favour is miscarriage of justice.

Common sense demands that the president that has power to appointment can also extend tenure if he had not found a suitable person.

The same supreme court that gave Imo to APC,gave Zamfara and Bayelsa to PDP.

Any person that desecrate our supreme court must be a real idiot.

MakotoShishio:
Tinubu stole from the people of Lagos and Nigeria, and for that crime, God will certainly punish him.

How much did he steal?

JaySterling:
2 Igbo men have ruled Lagos too

Google “list of governors of Lagos”

One of them is Ebitu Ukiwe from Abia

I can’t remember the name of the other

Google it

Even an Edo man has ruled Lagos before

Y’all should keep on deceiving yourselves that you own Lagos.

The real owners are coming

Sadiq Abubakar was once a Governor of Anambra State.

Rufai Garbage ,Dabo Aliyu were also governors .

The military regime appointed governors irrespective of their state of origin.

You are definitely a confused confusionist

fuckingAyaya:
What's is the exchange rate as at now?

Economic illiterate.
CBN can only manage the exchange rate.

Exchange rate of any currency ,Naira inclusive,is determined by the balance of payment,among other factors.

The more we export over import,the higher value of the Naira.

Therefore you cannot be an importer and still be complaining about the value of the naira,whereas you are part of the problem,not government.

I rarely hear people talk of mini exportation,only mini importation

Neither is it the fault of CBN that Nigeria had been a major importer of fuel for over 20years!

Common sense is not meant for empty brains.

Facebook,google,twitter,Instagram,etc cannot be generating revenue in Nigeria without paying tax.

They dare not try that with tax conscious countries like UK.

Good one from a responsible government.

Fiscus105:
If tinubu and fayemi contest ,I will go for fayemi, but if fayemi is not a contestant I will go for tinubu

Fayemi will be better president than tinubu , but the two of them are great leaders most especially multethinic nation

You are comparing Fayemi with Tinubu!

Only a religion bigot will do that.

Within your inner consciousness is the fact that 10 Fayemis can not match half of Tinubu.

fuelsaver:
They've started again. Old man why tell us this now? That was how some of you sold Buhari to Nigerians but today we know he's a bad market. People hear me, for the same Tinubu who was initially against Buhari to have turned around to support him in 2015 means the Tinubu you know have changed. Period! Let's hear something else abeg

What a crap.

Buhari is bad market to people like you ,not every Nigerian.

seunmsg:
The above comment was a reaction to my post on another thread yesterday. I ignored it initially because of the obvious ignorance of the poster but I was surprised this morning to see many people repeating this same ignorant nonsense all over the thread.

I opened this thread simply to correct this very ignorant impression. Pius Akinyelure retired as the Director of Finance of Mobil unlimited and he’s currently a board member of NNPC. Hopefully, this should cure the ignorance of some of the empty noisemakers here.

Point of correction.

They are noisy empty brains !

With all the conditionalities,we can safely conclude that the trip would be at the mercy of God.

Let's pray baba God will not be angry that day

Gengetiele:
We will not allow Tinubu have his way in River State.
All the plan of Tinubu will fail in River State.

This specie needs help.
Plausible case of mental derailment?

Igboid:
You are already falling for the con game nah.
The kind Aisha is playing on Nigerians.
That's how con artists do. There is always one of them who play the role of being against the other con men who he/she is nevertheless sti in bed with or tightly related to.

Nigerians and their very selfish agenda.Because it is Wike,Igbo,Ikwere,man,it is okay for another Ikwere man to be governor, but an abomination for another Fulani to be president.

Anyway your Monker says it all,very selfish Igboman.

obinoral1179:
Are you saying people shouldn't protest again... Killings everywhere, price of commodity is on the high and salaries still remains the same and you are born again Christian? Christ himself protest when his father house was turn to a market place... Protest is the key word as long as it's peaceful...

Mr man,June 12 is a date to celebrate MKO Abiola and not protest.

Unfortunately this year,hardly did any one remember him,because of misguided miscreants.

If we take all our national days as protest days and block roads and instill fears in our people,set tyre burn fire on the roads to destroy the little we have,how do we develop from there?

Too much of everything is nothing.

Maxymilliano:
This is by miles the most dumbest and stupidest headline I've read this morning.

If it were a Christian that compares a man with Muhammad, tje whole country would have been ablaze by now.

Stupidity is when you ignore the content of an article, but masturbate and ejaculate only on the headline.

Lazy youth.

Remove sentiments and digest the contents.

But unfortunately your mind and brain were already programmed to antagonise anything coming from Muric.

mekaboy:
Hate or not. Go to the embassies and compare Americans applying for Nigerian visa with Nigerians applying for American visa.

Facebook never had Nigeria in mind when developing it. They had a plan to reach the world, but Nigeria and Africa was never priority.

Liar from the pit of hell!

Go and read about the origin of Facebook.

No global tech company can ignore Africa and Nigeria ,most especially when developed continents already have alternatives to say Facebook.Instagram and even twitter.

Dump people using lies to cover their shame!

Facebook had no plan for Africa?Yet the CEO is focusing on Africa and the youths,launching various programs on the continent.

Kuceeh:
Brother, Obviously Your ignorance About Online traffic knows no boundary. If I lie, may I meet my untimely death Oga. I have earned not less that 1million online alone for the past 4 months this year. Please how much are you worth Online to teach me about Online Traffic?

I feel you.

But government does not consider individual benefits but overall national interest ,when taking decisions.

I always advice people to consider extreme cases in determining the veracity of a decision:

Now just assume it was later found out that twitter was set up to distabilise developing nations in order not to grow,mind you countries are in competition, the more we grow,the less foreign growth.Have you imagined if Facebook,twitter and Instagram were all based in Nigeria?

So if Twitter(assumption)was set up to distabilise Nigeria,the govt should still not ban it because some people are making money from it?

But I can assure you the current situation temporal.

Please reason selflessly,not like many empty brains on Nairaland.

gidgiddy:
Its good to be from a civilised country. The President of France, with only two bodyguards, is slapped by a member of the public, but life goes on as normal. The guy isnt even arrested


But just because Shiites wouldnt move out of General Burutai's way, over 1000 Shiites were murdered and their leader, El Zakzaky, has been in detention over 4 years

Mumu.

You better watch the video again.

You slap ordinary person na jail not to talk of president.

My observation:

All these foreign elements would bark at weaker countries,especially African,in the name of human rights.But they dare not do same to super powers like China and South Korea.
Is Nigeria the only country restricting the excesses of Twitter?

What is wrong in a temporary ban to register displeasure with a foreign information platform?Is Twitter the only means of communication in Nigeria?

When Twitter suspend your account due to violations,what happens to UN chatter on human rights?

I may be twitting secretly,but I stand firmly with my country's leadership on this.Let those foreign elements mind their business.

Can Nigeria dare interfere in any internal policy of these foreign countries?Are they all perfect on human rights?

Africans think!

CilicMarin:
Nigeria Corporate Existence Is Bigger Than A Twitter Platform That Promotes Terrorism.

I stand With Mr. President...and urge other African President To Take A Cue From Nigeria.

Could twitter had allowed late Osama Bin Ladin to tweet violence against the unity of America without sanctions? Whose interest is Twitter promoting in Nigeria?

It is very suspicious to delete Buharis tweet and leave that of the Ipob leader of a legally declared terrorist organization.

Very suspicious!!

CilicMarin:
The corporate entity, Nigeria is bigger than Twitter platform. If Jack doesn't want to play by the rules, we also don't need him. Providing avenue for Terrorists to destroy Nigeria is a red line..and they have crossed it..


Twitter as a form of social media, should not be an agent for destabilization but a tool for deepening democracy and promoting good governance in Nigeria and Africa as a whole..

Twitter must respect the sovereign integrity of nations wherein they operate.

If a government had designated a group as a terrorist group, Twitter has no justification to allow such groups to propagate their rhetoric via their platform.

If Twitter has the right to remove/block anybody out of their platform for breaking their 'rules' , countries too have the same right to ban or suspend Twitter operations in their countries as well for aiding or abetting Terrorists.

#I Support Nigeria

Well said.

Twitter has not deleted any of Nnamdi Kanu's very incitive tweets,but they were quick to delete that of our president.

Ipob is legally a terrorist organization in Nigeria for God's sake!

It seems many outer organizations would be happy to see Nigeria destroyed.

Vanity

WorldRichest:
Don't be mad. This is between the North and the South. There is only one South. You are either with us or against us.

When we finally wipe out the blood sucking Almajaris and herdsmen and chase them away from Nigeria far into the Red Sea and perish them there, then we can come back home and continue our Igbo Versus Yoruba senseless generational fight

Madness is when you think Yorubas fight senseless wars.

You better count us out of your madness!

Kingzy4real:
He was one of the military men killed in owerri yesterday by UGM
STOP THIS PROPAGANDA.

he was killed yesterday being 28th May and his burial arrangement is 27th May.

NORTHERN SOLDIERS HAVE MURDERED IGBO SOLDIER AND TAGGED IT UNKNOWN GUNMEN

May God grant you the power of comprehension.

Go over the information again.

Even though he was killed in April,it was allegedly by UGM.

EM123:
when zoo soldiers was going around killing and kidnapping people , in imo state , and obigbo , all of you where happy, now that is their turn no body should say anything.

So the solution to killing of innocent souls is the killing of more innocent souls.

Idiot,it would soon get to your door step.

Newsblenda:
U are an idiot for calling freedom fighters terrorist, u don't have sense....

Idiotism is when you call terrorists freedom fighters.

Stupidity is when you pretend not to know the meaning of terrorism.

Eriokanmi:
me i know say what no possible. Only gullible youths believed them hook, line and sinker

Only morons believed the story that Buhari promised $1toN1.

Take this to the bank:

The Naira will continue to depreciate until when we stop importing fuel,especially.

I you like blame it on Buhari that an oil producing nation has been importing fuel since over 20years ago!

Babagboju:
Dats means you have not write the exam

And you expect to pass the exam and teach with such grammatical hog wash?

So a billionaire could not light up his hometown with off grid electricity?

Shame!

So a billionaire could not empower his hometown with off grid electricity?

Shame!
