Techcrunchng:
But the forest is not fenced, there are many routes to enter, why must it be the route where soldiers were stationed? I don't believe this.

Don't mind them.
He deliberately went near the soldiers who arrived before him to have an excuse as to why
he didn't go into the forest.

There are hundreds of kms of open routes through which anyone can enter the forest
but somehow, it is where soldiers are stationed that Igboho wants to enter through.

PrincessGlow:
Are you deaf and dumb? All the social media, software, and used products, you don't see them?

Social media is not a merchandise, in fact, they beg countries to accept them e.g China.
How does those used products improve the economy?

I will not let any of this country's citizen use US-made software because Twitter was banned will be the most stupid proposal ever
made by an American politician.

joyandfaith:
Many e.g HP, Internet, Microsoft, iPhones etc. Not only US, her allies will also punish us. Ask Abacha.

This shows you are not conversant with US sanctions.
It is not an on or off switch matter and there are hundreds of sanctions that the average person
will not even know exists. And it usually have an endgame.
Did you know that Obama sanctioned Nigeria?
Well, that didn't stop US products from being shipped here.

BTW, there is no ally anywhere that will follow the US lead over some petty issue, if you mean US puppets, those ones are already
useless to the Nigerian economy.

I know it sound strange that blanket sanction decisions aren't made based on whims or revenge
but that is the reality.

Nnpc is not functioning now because most expatriates maintaining the refineries left the country after US sanction during abacha regime.

Nope.
Nigeria was importing fuel long before Abacha came into power.
The refineries failed for the reason other government run businesses failed.

FreedomArmy:
My question is simple, why are we allowing these herdsmen to get away with their atrocities?
What is really going on in Nigeria?

Nobody is allowing them. They just happened to have an advantage.
Of course, there is solution to the crisis but majority aren't ready to act.

Rugaria:
I guess Soyinka was also a stark illiterate when he single handedly hyjacked a radio station at GUN POINT in ibadam in the 60s just because of Akintola/Sarduana politics of blood, right? Is it not the same kind of dirty politics that is being reenacted today by Tinubu/Buhari!? Soyinka that used NADECO to run down the image of this country beyond repair just because his kinsman Abiola was not made president? Going as far as calling for western military intervention in Nigeria! I guess if the Americans intervened then on the side of NADECO, they would not have shot at anybody in Nigeria. They will invade Nigeria throwing rose flowers at Abacha, right? One thing I have found out about you Yorubas is that you guys always want to stand on top of others in order to stand taller.. Again, irrespective of your knowledge and exposure, you will always be victims of your tribal agenda in every political discuss in this country!

In all these you never linked him with a case of wanton destruction of public and private properties nor
even killings and celebration of savage.

Hmmn Wole

DaddyGoo:
It's a shame this government has wasted all the goodwill they came into office with so easily.

Goodwill driven by fake news and fake promises.

PrincessGlow:
It'd probably be a blessing in disguise. We will stop importing their garbage and rely on our own resources. Only problem is CHINA - they will fill the vacuum with their 10th rate merchandise!

What merchandise do you currently source from the US?

Sirdayor:
This shameless man didn't know any other thing than to create disunity along religion divides in Nigeria. Please ask him, if there is any one positive impacts his MURIC organisation has ever achieve for the mass

He receives monthly payment from extremist organizations both home and abroad.

You only see them tweeting to support the "people".
Here they are resenting their so-called ally.

3idiots:
It's a popular saying that "one day, the poor will have nothing else to eat, but the rich"

I hope you are very very poor.
When the savages who are a minute part of the poor are done eating the rich, they will turn on you.

Fake news.
It is actually 99,999 bodies

Massiveglory:
Let us hope the policemen and will not be arrested and tormented by for this act by the powers that be.

What is left is for you guys to start worshipping those omnipotent bandits.
It is no wonder the white men had very easy colonising the whole continent.
A people rule by fear are already conquered even before the first battle.

It would be understandable if your object of awe was some group of humans with advanced
technology but reverse is the case.

Those high profile accounts are usually outsourced.
Even someone tweeted the deleted tweet on behalf of Buhari.

Muhamed is confusing Twitter and Jack.
Jack did promote endsars but I don't think that counts as funding.

Malami sounded dull as usual.
How can you prosecute someone for a non offense?

joyandfaith:
You can't censor freedom of speech in capitalist economy. It wouldn't not work.

Censorship has nothing to do with economic system.

Arrogant Jack will probably call their bluff.
He had better learned from Facebook fatal mistake for ignoring Chinese government.
Even with begging and his Chinese wife, Zuckerberg has not been able to resolve facebook ban.

Companies should never act superior to countries.

seunmsg:
OP, can you provide the link to this press statement? I’m not sure Twitter will be this confrontational against a sovereign government. Moderators must confirm the authenticity of this post before acting on it.

I don't need to see a source.
That is pure fake news.

TheRealestGuy:
Even in this Buhari poos in your mouth, you'll still support him till the end

It's either this BMC money is keeping you alive or you are finished pata pata

Go play in the mud with your fellow kids.

Joromi1:
Very soon police will start searching people's phones to know who's using Twitter. This is what happens when Fulanis hijack a democratic government.

It is not illegal to use Twitter. That requires specific law not announcement.
The government statement is an intent to restrict Twitter's activities or just a preamble for potential regulation.
BTW, it is still working.

AlhajiBitcoin:
Citing an office in your country is the first form of FDI.

The staff that would work in the physical office are citizens of your country. As long as that office lasts there, their salaries keep coming in. The company keeps patronizing services in the country, establishing branches, employing more staff strength, transferring technology to citizens.

What is your definition of FDI ?

FDI isn't about office or salary. It is about investment.
If Twitter were to earmark certain millions for investment
in a specific sector that would be an FDI.
However, having an office in a country and paying salary is not one.

The primary function of a Twitter office or any other social media is to lobby governments
for favorable legislations. They may also add some charities or training for good PR.
Twitter need governments more than they need it.

BTW, social media companies do not need more branches for their operations.
One of the reasons they are so attractive to investors is because of their low overhead costs
as a few people could run it successfully.

Fake news.
Where is FG in what you posted?
Twitter was banned for deleting Buhari's Tweet.

They have to sue.
That is their job.

AlhajiBitcoin:
It was foreign direct investment that made Nigeria's economy to boom under Obasanjo.

Basic education has no short cut. You can't print NEPA bill and call it certificate.

You are right regarding FDI, but Twitter does not contribute FDI in Nigeria.
Even the EU is still confused about how to force foreign social media to share their profits.

First, there is nothing fake about this.
There are millions of Trump supporters with rabid hate for anything Twitter or even Facebook.

It will be interesting to see how Nigerian Trump worshippers will react to this "unbetrayal".
Few months ago, they decreed the end of Twitter for banning Trump and accused it of "oppression".

Vaughanlanrewaj:
I don't really think this is absolutely right but I believe that after the chaos and violent destruction the fake news of his kidnap caused, the Catholic church may need to rein him in. Btw, Reverend Father Kukah nko? When will they ban him? Father Mbaka is a learner when it comes to political patronage, Father Kukah is PDP full time!

Kukah does not threaten the Catholic church nor does he bring them regular problems.

Bunch of misfits.

Long overdue.
Let sanity return.

Nothing is free.

Cursed cultists who should ordinarily have been screened out of
admission list are making life a hell for others.
