4nm ? and one certain idiotic brand is selling a 12nm chip as flagship for over 228k.

Thunder fire the scam company.

tecno is trying lately o.

Just that they are still not where they can be.

RodgersAkpafu:
We all know Mynd
So forget this story we are talking

Only you know what you know.

I have never seeing him campaign or support Buhari before.

You have to bring proof of your information.

DefHQ:
You're a shame of a mod

you are a shame of a user if you can't point to anything he said that's not correct.

franchasng:
Shameful coming from a mod.


So you support Buhari's autocratic regime, it is well with Nigerian youths, what a shame

how does saying fact mean you support the government?

Why is it always hard for you people to use brain first and emotion later.


Point to anything he said there that is not correct?

CaptainAyub:
Zombie ooo zombie �‍♂️
You are the same eediot who believes organising a mass burial for the victims of Fulani massacre in Benue is all about politics because Fulani has killed more in Taraba and there was no mass burial.
People like you are the greatest reason I want Biafra.

typical senseless point.

The guy made a valid point without actually supporting the government on other things. But trust senseless emotional anti government people to make it look like anyone making sense is pro government.

Kunlelee:
You know the rules so why the outcry. Every school have their rules after all

problem is, these same people are ready to blow shit up because their student are not allowed to wear hijab in Christian schools..

The hypocrisy of religious folks are disgusting.
It's almost like you have to be hypocrite to be religious.

Kestolove:
Na Una type dey confuse lecturers, see as u dry u not even ashamed to dress like this at ur age...old woman dressing like those girls wey rema use for dumebi video

you self dey abuse someone


You wey your forehead be like something dem dey use grind pepper.

Wetin Kaduna student no go see for bandit den

FlipModeSquade:
What's the point?

COMPETITION is the point..

A good and healthy market thrives on competition and the consumers are the winners at the end of the day.

yeah right

Like there isn't already enough competition already. How many of the current network provider is even willing to give you unlimited internet? You think them coming will change anything? Yinmu.

They give you super fast internet and a shitty bandwidth cap to make it unusable.

I was testing Airtel 4g speed the other day and I was getting 120mb/second consistent speed.

But low and behold, I was given meagre 40gb for the sum 10k

10k is more than 30% of Nigerian minimum wage

AutoBodyParts:
Beautiful. Hope they do same in Nigeria

what's the point?


It's probably gonna come with exploitative price in Nigeria market

And people will stay away from it cos they can afford it.

Agboriotejoye:
I don't need to break it down. The point I'm trying to make is that 247bn loss from twitter shutdown is a big blow to an economy that is struggling to survive with all the critical indicators in the red. Some people have lost jobs and income from the twitter ban. That is what is absolutely sure and can't be coloured.

The big question is what is the raison d'etre of the ban. Because a man's fragile ego was built? May I ask. Is Buhari's ego worth 1bn naira to the Nigerian economy? We need to be able to delineate between personal interest and national interest. If personal interest becomes national interest, then we are not any better than North Korea or other anti-democratic countries.

smh.

He just believed 247billion is lost.

He doesn't know how. But since it's Buhari, the man he hates, then it must be true.


Typical Nigerian.

Agboriotejoye:
The website did not say Nigeria lost 247bn. That's just sensationalism of the paper report. The website measures cost of shutdown not loss due to shutdown. In other words, what it cost the economy is 247bn. It is not Nigeria's loss alone nor Twitter's loss alone but cumulative loss for Twitter, Nigeria, telcos and others who make use of the services associated with Twitter in one way or the other.

Oya break it down how everyone lost 247billion with verifiable figure.

Agboriotejoye:
I have. Your point was that Twitter is losing more than Nigeria. The volume of the loss you never contested.

Cos a loss is a loss.

You that's believed 247 billion story.

Break down how Nigeria lost 247 billion..

Note: 247 billion is like Lagos federal allocation for about 6 months.

Please tell us how Nigeria lost it?

Agboriotejoye:
Why don't you believe it. Care to share?

read all my posts on the thread

Sure..... But not everyone uses VPN........

I don't see them on my timelines any more.... My personal experience.......

point is, twitter didn't stop them. It's their personal decision.

Some people quit twitter, some didn't.
I quitted Facebook. Those people who use to see my post on their timeline won't anymore.

mapet:
Let me also chip in on the twitter in China - You don't even need to refer to twitter in China at all in a discourse to show twitter's reach. Twitter is not even in the top-10 social media platforms in China. Sina Weibo (aka Twitter of China) has taken that market.

abi o

Even if twitter wants to compete in china now, it's too late for them.

Lexusgs430:
My point was directed at small retailers, that used timelines for product/service awareness........

They had relied on that medium, made money from that medium.......

All of a sudden..... STOP.......

small retailers are still using Twitter.

Twitter didn't ban them from posting.

Theunbothered:
1. China has over a billion people with access to computers yet they still did not give in to their demands.

Comparing Apple to twitter is ridiculous, one sells products, the other sells services, services that the Chinese government wants to control to maintain power over it's people. You are clearly just saying anything at this point to defend nonsense.

2. You are making a claim yet have not provided any evidence to back the claim, just stories and bread and meaningless analogies.

3. How much are they making you can not answer, we know this ban is affecting Nigerians but people who support it claim twitter is worse off yet have not shown a single piece evidence for it.

4. You think I am stupid abi? You don't even have a single post about Buhari. Use your main account and post it not another one you made to disguise.

my last post to you cos it seems I'm just talking to a brick wall.

Having population of 10 people who have 5 people use your service is better than population of 1000 who have only 1 person use your service. Plus there is already huge social media in china and twitter cannot compete there anymore
(Common sense number 1)

Apple sell more services than products these days and they are working well on china.
Apple tv is a service, apple store is a service.

Apple is just one example. There are thousands of American services in bed with Chinese government and China. E.g, steam, epic games etc. (Common sense number 2)


The ban is not affecting average Nigerians in anyway because you can still access it. And no one is dying before they can't browse twitter.
Twitter is just a website out of millions of websites on the internet. (Common sense 3)


On the final note, if you can't prove I support Buhari even after specifically telling you I don't, don't you think you are stupid as you posited?

Like me telling you that you ate rice this morning without proof even after telling me you didn't.


Finally, this is where I drop my pen cos I know you will still come up with a dumb post to infuriate me into engaging you.

So I'm done.

Theunbothered:
And I will ask you a simple question which you failed to answer last time since we are talking about twitter and not bread.

How much is twitter making from Nigeria?

Now if you can find the figure compare it to what Nigerian companies and small businesses losing from the decreased audience.

Twitter is banned in China yet Chinese companies still operate twitter accounts because they need the audience.

I am quite impressed by the lengths you are going to defend the government trampling on public discourse.

Well done.

I marvel at the level you are willing to go to appear dumb.

1, How many users are from China to put pressure on Twitter's infrastructure?
You think if twitter has many users in china, they wouldn't have found a way to allow Chinese government allow them to operate like apple? Even if it means submitting Chinese data to the government like the government demanded.

2, if you are dumb enough not to know to how use Google to ask simple question, why would I waste my precious time to feed you every fact?

3, even if twitter is only making 1 naira from Nigeria and it's not very significant to their pool of cash, and they stopped making the 1 naira, is it a profit for them or loss? So why you keep asking irrelevant question not related to the post?

4, how does saying fact mean you are defending the government? Perhaps you should go through my post and see I don't even like Buhari or his government.

But not everyone will let hate cloud his sense of reasoning like most of you ediots that post on nairaland.

Theunbothered:
You're the one making the claim that twitter is losing money from Nigeria with absolutely nothing to back it up aside from misplaced nationalistic zeal.

smh
Do you lack critical thinking or just putting extra effort this morning?


Lemme put it in dumbest way possible for you, if you failed to get it this time, then you are on your own.

If you are selling bread in a particular street, people come to buy the bread but instead of people paying for it, the councillor in that street is paying for all the bread.
all the councillor needs from you is to tell the bread eaters whenever they buy that they should vote for him in next election.

Now imagine if you have to provide that bread for free but without the councillor paying you to say anything.


Now replace (you) with twitter
(bread with services)
And councilor with advertisers.


Twitter is using its money to build data centres to accommodate users from Nigeria and to hosts it's servers.
Building data centre to accommodate just 1million people alone just so you can post your dumb meme on twitter runs into thousands of dollars if not millions..

Twitter is not charging you for those services but advertisers. Now the advertisers are not paying while they still render the service for free..

What do you think it's going on here? Are they making money or losing money?

Theunbothered:
How much revenue do you think twitter makes from Nigeria?

www.google.com


Ask them.

Then return to make your point.

Theunbothered:
Good, you have small sense. Now tell me, who is losing more, twitter or the companies who won't be able to reach the same audience as before?

use your sense Na.

If I'm paying you to market a product for me and I stopped paying you only to give my money to another company to market my products, who is at the losing end?

Theunbothered:
Answer the simple question

cos the question is the dumbest thing on nairaland today.

And if the person is conversant with twitter knows when he sees a tweet from account he is not following means the tweet is an ad reach.

All those jumia tweets, tecno tweets, Stanbic tweets or GTB tweets that you didn't subscribe to suddenly popping up on your timeline are Twitter's reach ads.

Yet he is asking dumb questions.

Lexusgs430:
Are you thinking without ad revenue from Nigeria, twitter would shut down? NO

So the Nigerian populace suffers more....... Do you know how majority of banking issues are resolved, via twitter.........

Banking services did not stop, customers did not stop banking...... So the general populace suffers......

nope twitter will not shut down but they won't be making money from Nigeria either. I thought the post is clear enough?
How does that even relate?


People who couldn't have their issues resolved on twitter moved to Facebook.
Another loss for twitter.

I, personally used to complain on twitter whenever I have problem with banks or telecom operators and their response is usually kinda slow and one dimensional but I realised it's faster on Facebook as I chat with them directly instead of waiting for response like twitter.
I hate Facebook but thats one reason I'm still keeping it around.

And why would banking service stop? I said banks and and cooperation usually pay twitter to have bigger tweet reach. How is that related to operation of the bank?

peeps4u:
Mention one Nigerian company that places ads on Twitter?


Or you think the companies pay twitter before they open acct or post?

smh

Do you even know how twitter ads work?

You probably don't even use Twitter.

If the money is ready

Around 1 month in the summer

3-5 months during raining season.

Truthissupreme:
Jack still use spokesman to address the issue

While a federal minister is the one dealing on behalf of a nation with spokesman of a private firm


Says alot about who is on the receiving end

and is Buhari the one talking on twitter issue or his spokesman?

You think if it's causing any significant pain apart from extra income for vpn owners, they wouldn't have reversed it?

Lexusgs430:
How many companies in Nigeria, place ad banners on Twitter?......

It's Twitter users, that are feeling the brunt.........

most big coperations in Nigeria, telecom operators, and banks are the ones giving twitter 95% of their revenue from Nigeria and they have all stopped using Twitter or partnering with twitter.


Average Nigerians don't pay jack to twitter.
And those average Nigerians use vpn to access twitter anyway.

So it hurts twitter more than it hurts average Nigerians.

They are tired of the propagandas now abi.

They were busy sponsoring different nonsense articles in daily newspaper about how Nigerians are losing trillions when in actual sense, they are at the losing end.

They don't know that Buhari has ear problem to listen to any propaganda or certificate to read newspaper.

They should just accept all the Federal government terms and count their loss.

Kingcalls:
Check this place out in the next 10 yrs...u wunt believe how dilapidated it will look ...Nigeria na build and abandon, no maintenance

Issa Nigerian thing.

10years is way too long. 6months tops.

It first starts with internal looting like doornobs and stuff, then everything goes south aftwards

Nothing to see here


Just good people of North going about their lawful business.


Carry on everyone and have a good day ahead.

Why can't these Afghan women follow simple law.

They all want Islam and Sharia. Let them abide by its rule.

Islam say no to women right.
Let them abide by it. or teach their next generation to stay the Bleep away from killslam.
