All you guys think about is 2023. Sir, you must be brainless. You said you are Igbo, but you are still brainless.

You may be too young to understand what is going on in the country, if you are old enough and pretend not to know, then its a big pity.

' A food for thought; "Ask your self why insecurity escalated in the southern parts of the country with specifics to the south eastern states just after a governor defected to Apc and the party altered its manifesto"

When Will Twitter Ban Nnamdi Kanu's Hate Speech?


Hate Speech Monger - Nnamdi Kanu


This man posts all sorts of vitriolic, abusive, threatening messages against Nigeria and the Nigerian government, including highly tribalistic smears, and blood-curdling commands to his followers, to kill and maim innocent Nigerians, including law enforcement agents.

BUT NOT FOR ONE DAY have I heard that Twitter cautioned him, or warned him against such dangerous use of the platform.

And then the Nigerian president uses the same twitter to warn troublemakers of repercussions, and HE gets his posts deleted by twitter.

I mean, WHAT CLEARER CASE OF BIAS IS THERE THAN THAT?

If I were Buhari, I would do the EXACT SAME THING, and ban them from operating in the Nigerian space.

Oh sure, some people can use VPN, but research shows that most peeps won't bother if they have to go to that extent.

So WELL DONE Mr President.

Mr poster you do not bite your nose to spite your face .. this just shows the lack of foresight and shallow reasoning behind your empty headed narrative .. if u have a problem with nnamdi kanu yall should report his tweet not act like deranged maniacs

It is important to distil issues to principles so that we are consistent whether now, in 2 years or 20 years

First Nigeria is not the first country to restrict twitter. It is officially banned in China

Twitter is an emerging technology and existing legislation is playing catch up
There is a cultural dimension to freedom of expression
We cannot do everything the OYIBO way

I am no supporter of Buhari but the office he occupies is important

I cannot accept a FOREIGN business entity telling the president of my country to shut up under any guise

Still there are many issues to debate and we should debate them without becoming enemies
That is democracy

We must learn how to compartmentalize our emotions and sentiments

The president is not forced to use twitter, imagine if the president went on nairaland to post gay pornography in the religion section, which is against the rules, would you be supporting that?

Buhari and his clowns are the ones bringing emotion into everything with their constant lies and poor performance and I have had it with this bleeped up administration and country full of dull, braindead Buhari supporters.
Rubbish.

Very intelligent and enlightened submission.

That's why Education is far better than Alimajri. If your People were educated they would have push to counter the request made by ipob.

Invitationn:

You sound objective. But then, the president did not threaten all Igbos.
He threatened the violent secessionists attacking security formations.
So threatening the NE as a match is no match.

Bullcrap. He didn't even mentioned IPOB. He said "Youths of the region " and then threatened to use his civil war experience to "treat them in the language they understand ". That was pure hate speech.


Show me where he has used such statements about the NE.


In fact, Twitter was too lenient with him. He should have been banned indefinitely...

winterfell007:


If you're igbo person, then you must be the most foolish igbo alive. When MNK started the agitation of Biafra. His beliefs has always been to achieve Biafra through peaceful means. That included Dialogue, referendum and other means that didn't resort to using violence. He's always upheld using peaceful means to achieve the cause.
But your violent government treated their cause with violence, declaring 'python dance' on innocent protesters who just wanted to excise their right to self determination, which is a universal right. Since your government has proven to MNK that Biafra can never be gotten through peace except blood us split. Nnamdi Kanu finally realized it's no point preaching peaceful dissolution. Your government is despotic and irresponsible and that's why no reasonable first world country will sell sophisticated weapons to them, because they know they'll only use it wipe iff her citizens they don't like

I sha hope it's your blood that is spilled in the actualization of Biafra and not that of innocent onlookers in your tribe.

That's your business though. The business of the day is not about who annoyed who. It's about twitter policies that deletes government's tweet and leave that of a secessionist and terrorist leader to keep tormenting the country, especially through the same network.

If twitter is now suddenly working for Kanu, then take down the fucking twitter.

barragan:


It's only a dishonest person will say the president threatened every Igbo person. We all know many of you hate the president and will do anything to frustrate him this is just a continue of your hatred of the man.

His speach was loud and clear as a bell, there is not a single person who wouldn't understand the picture the president painted.
So if he wasn't threaning Igbo in general, what then is the link btw ipob, a fragment of Igbo decent who are aggrieved and decided to go into violence,like many other quarters in this country and the civil War that touches every Igboman even those who are not in support of ipob??.

I await your explanation.

And banning them is the best thing to do?

Can you tell me a better thing to do?

Oyibos reasoning is quite different from de fulanis, that thing u call hate speech from Nnamdi Kanu is love speech to many others...if u hate what he says, u pharaoh, let my people go, its a system of a registered freedom fighting, not a hate speech. I don't know if they used kerosene on ur brains.

Twitter ban has elevated the battle to Buhari vs Nnamdi Kanu. Twitter is indirectly telling Buhari to shut up and let the boss MNK talk. It is a painful pill for the deluded Buhari handlers to swallow.

ablejesus26:
It would appear that you are not knowledgeable on the issue regarding power deposition.
The Nigerian president cannot for any reason sound like mnk.
He is deposited with the power to portray a balance.
I am Igbo I am not ipob,why should I be receiving threats bcus of ipob.
So why hasn't he threatened the Ne for all the unmeasurable atrocities that Boko Haram and bandits have carried out??.
Apc will be the downfall of this country.

The far North have unimaginable hatred not only for Igbo but for the entire South, the hatred for Igbo is just obvious because Igbos tends to be sturborn unlike the Yoruba that do not complain and sometimes supports the North, and some unguilded kids from the South still blindly work for the far North thinking everything is politics, the far North plays a different type of politics from every one of us, they play a politics of life and death.

Nijablast:


Ipob and Terrorists need to be threatened. I used to tell my Ibo friends here in Lagos that if you succed with ur biafra, Ibo wey dey alaba must go oo,
Arena Ibos must go oo
And that they will have to let go all they have laboured for.
U can't be a bifran and still be controlling our business here .

This is the part many of them don't think about.

They seem to think everything will continue as normal.

[quote author=booscy post=102383597]Why not start an online campaign for Twitter to ban him by reporting and pointing out his tweets that are in violation of the Twitter code of conduct or rules if engagement.

Someone started that which led to Buhari's suspension[/quote

Example

4evaReina:
No, twitter or facebook is not bias, they will also delete Nnamdi Kanu's speech if people report his account just like Buhari's account was reported. So it's left for the platform users to report the account and twitter or facebook will take action.

I still maintain my stand that twitter and facebook won't allow any post inciting people to kill Americans on their platform not even with the rate of gun violence in the US.

Now back in Nigeria, a terrorist openly solicit for weapons to kill Nigerians on twitter, post comments for his minions to destroy State properties during protests and has even gone to the extent of asking his followers to kill Nigerian soldiers yet the twitter management didn't see anything wrong with that.. it's community members that should report and tell them to do their job.
It only shows that they have no regard for Nigeria's sovereignty and lives of Nigerians

Rissamenti:


Your problem is that you are seeing it as a personal beef between Buhari and Twitter. Buhari is acting in his capacity as President, by saying that you cannot operate in our space if you allow secessionists and anarchists to post destabilizing messages on your platform, while disallowing Nigerian authorities from making posts threatening repercussions for breakdown of law and order.

If the country descends into warfare, will Twitter executives come and fight the war? No. They will be enjoying on yachts in the Caribbean.

So Buhari is only protecting his country from descent into anarchy and disintegration.

That's his job.

When he releases terrorists, allows Shiek Gumi to roam around giving inspirational bandit speeches and ruined the economy through his idiotic policies and blatant tribalism why won't there be breakdown of law and order?

Why are you blaming twitter for the overall dissatisfaction of the population?

When people break the rules, report and they will be deleted, stop being silly and think about the consequences of this action

iamDrRhymes:
Dear OP, please do not be intimidated by those abusing. You are right with your sentiments.

he is not right, so vuhari a president o, started a hate speech because Nnamdi speaks.

flokii:
This has crossed my mind several times I must admit.. why is Kanu freely posting hateful and inciting comments on twitter and facebook yet they can't shut him off or ban him for violating their rules..

Can anyone post such inciting comments about killing Americans on twitter and they won't take it down? Igbos have really abused those platforms yet when you ask them to leave your domain, they'll refuse.

You lots don't know what divorce or breakup means, you'll definitely pack your bags and leave my space.

Where is ur space? The government shud have asked the telecoms to ax out MNK’s accounts on SMPs. Instead of pretending all Igbos are IPOB. Equally, the government shud have reported MNK’s offensive post on SMPs before blaming the operators of bias.

omonnakoda:

What is democracy
Twitter is a business
Twitter is not democracy
Are Nigerians present on the Board of twitter? How many?
I would say the same thing for Jonathan, Obasanjo or Abacha

Twitter should not censor the president of Nigeria and if it chooses to do so it should be kicked out of Nigeria. That s the African way

May you continue to be treated the African way for the rest of your life.

I await your explanation.

Can't a man who fought in the civil war reference it when the same thing is about to happen again? There is a secessionist movement in the south east led by a mad man hiding in the UK capable of leading to war, the president wants to deal with this group so as not to have a repeat of that war. He clearly spoke of how unsavoury it was to have been in that war. Is that too hard to comprehend. Why would the president want to kill every south easterner, that is madness and it only exists in the minds of those who hate the president from the very beginning.

I thought it became a tradition on nairaland to always post things with a reliable source and to put pictorial evidence

Why would someone wake up and say Nnamdi Kanu posts hate speech on Twitter without source and pictures and the mods happily took the nonsense to FP?


Bleep YOU SEUN OSEWA

Your hate for Igbos will drown you

The ban is OK by the president after all b4 the twitter came out Nigerians has been communicating , that stupid Facebook is next

So sad to see the level of ignorance from some so called educated people here. �
You are all crying because someone refused to be an ass licker and corrected your president. Buhari threatened a whole tribe with a civil war experience, if you don't see any problem in that, then you are evil!
Everyone can't be dumb ass followers like you all! Get small sense!

Invitationn:

The civil war is an issue that touches the heart of every Igboman.
I am not an ipob supporter,but when you make such statements you have automatically called out every Igboman.
Make una dey talk true.

Nothing stops u from making a report or drawing Twitter’s attention to MNK’s tweets u tink is offensive. U tink Twitter has time to scrutinize billions of tweets on its platform everyday?

So by your brain now nnamdi janu is the problem of Nigeria or buhari. Make una dey try get sense from that una region now. Sense too far from una! Haba!

who is talking about nigeria problem now
.the post is about twitter suspemsion
hyppocrite

WoundedLamb:


Seriously, China? Dude, we are not in China. You cannot treat China's social media ban in isolation. If you're advocating the Chinese style of government, they you'd be prepared to embrace the totality of what comes with the absence of democracy. ​The Chinese government can ban any website without issues cause they never claimed to be democratic. As of 2019, the governments of China, Iran, North Korea, and Turkmenistan have blocked access to Twitter in those countries and nobody is saying anything cause they are not democratic nations. The deletion of Buhari's tweets is simply no justification for doing that in Nigeria except the government is telling us the style of government has changed.

In fact, I'm surprised you even mentioned democracy in your post cause nothing you said is remotely democratic, no disrespect intended. The president's tweets were deleted and the next line of action is to stop all his citizens from freely accessing the app even without their consent? And you still said "that is democracy"? Even in countries where social media is regulated, it's mostly to avoid crimes and hate speeches. How do you explain that your president banned the app in Nigeria simply cause his personal tweets were deleted?

What exactly is the oyibo way here? And what would then be the African way? Moderating other individuals while allowing certain class of people to post just anything? You guys complain about Nigeria, yet you're not willing to let go those things that make Nigeria a terrible place. Yes, you mustn't do everything like oyibo but sadly, it's thier platform and they have rules you must follow. And as far as that app is concerned, the creators are the gods and thier rules stand. You can leave thier platform if you feel unfairly treated or create yours if thier concepts don't appeal to you. Just don't expect special treatments. And whatever you do, you don't drag the entire nation into it.

Their platform; their rules. Our country; our rules...don't you think it's only fair?
Special treatment was what this post by the OP is all about.
Atleast, Facebook banned NK a couple of times for is incendiaries. Twitter has never even taken down his post.

Thank God some of us believe in free speech. You need a thundering slap.

Twitter is a company and not a givernment . They should be made to abide by the rules of the society not their own rules which have been shown to be bias in most cases.
