Freedom of Speech.. But Buhari tweet was deleted?

Anyway, the Federal Govt. is no way hindering freedom of speech...We still have Facebook, Nairaland, Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, crowwe etc..

FG only banned one platform where irresponsible speech capable of wrecking havoc to the corporate existence Nigeria is permitted and that is Twitter...

God Bless Nigeria..

They should be more concerned about this

I guess Trump didn't have freedom of speech in America the land of freedom of speech and where the people inside the American Mission that issued this statement came from.

...but again, I quoted this ipob by mistake..

I don't no if he had freedom of speech or not but u haven't answered my questions:

If Twitter could ban Trump d president of d US where Twitter is headquartered, why does buhari think he is so important that his tweet can't be and should be deleted? is buhari not already a bigger threat to nigerias corporate existence than Twitter?

NB: how did u come to d conclusion that I am IPoB?

Freedom of speech is their favorite catch phrase for trying to bully the government from doing what makes sense.

Not to be argumentative but our freedom of speech in the USA has certain limited limitations.

For the camper you can’t yell fire in a theater if there’s no fire.

I come in peace.

Just like issuing terrorist threats, if is protected under freedom of speech, but not when the same speech is responsible for actual deaths and killings.''In this case, people are being killed, houses, businesses and government institutions are being destroyed so this is no longer freedom of speech issue, it is now a matter of national security.

Can some radicals in the Nigerian military circle just do the needful on this clueless and despotic regime? Yes, I mean a c**p, a bloodless one though; afterall, Buhari also did it, maybe it's pay back time, we never can tell but one thing I know is that there are repercussions for every action...Buhari will pay for both his past and present actions.

Can we avoid reasoning like this? The same way you see other platforms as alternatives to communication or freedom of expression is the same way the government can come up to ban them if they don't support the wrong practices of the government.

Can we just be honest and fair to ourselves? Let's call a spade, a spade and stop giving titles to cow because of the beef we want to eat. Boko haram has been with us for years with many kidnapped, killed and some places in the North not safe anymore for movement. Imagine, the government saying farmers should have requested for permission before going to their farms. The man empowered with the control of all armed forces never for once spoke in the manner he spoke against the terrible act in South East. Is justice unfair? Have we lost our conscience?

Irresponsible speech as you called it goes on every social media platform and is not restricted to twitter alone. Let's be enlightened here.

If we are objective about this, it was Nigerians who reported the tweets of the president to those in charge of twitter and how it contradicts the terms and conditions binding the use of the platform. They investigated and found the complaints to be true and did the needful. Let me state here that the president is not the president of Nigerian tweets on twitter but like everyone and anybody who has an account on twitter and as such should go by the terms and conditions binding on this platform. Also, the president wasn't forced to be on this platform and the president also saw the terms and conditions before agreeing to be on this platforms. To go against their terms and conditions and at the same time try to stop other Nigerians from this freedom of communication is selfish, lawless and autocratic.

Your analysis seems very objective

Asgard73:

Council of foreign relations made a statement... but Buhari and his government chose to ignore .. instead of asking..

Yoruba media propaganda keep gingering encouraging the dullard to act out..

Many don’t even know what CFR stands for and who they’re ... very unfortunate for them and so fortunate for those who know.

Banning twitter is a loss on the government of Nigeria. We all know how Obama government brought Buhari in and gave him legitimacy.

I love Nigeria ... but so unfortunate is gone. Majority of Nigerians both online and offline are not informed.. the source whatever from hearsay and spread it..

Kanu has dealt a heavy one on Buhari government.. although not planned.. but the dullard jerked and got it.. now it’s all going down

Is Buhari still going to unleash violence on igbos dominated eastern Nigeria

Is he still going to crush like in 67’

Any attempt attempt will draw ire from international community

Meanwhile the unknown gunmen still remain unknown... soon IPOB will flood Twitter with pictures of humans he has killed in the last one month, steady their propaganda against the dullard with sentiments that’s all

The government has shown his autocratic self.. in a democratic country

Times are getting worst for this government... and his supporters are dumb.. so dumb without them knowing

Ignorance is spreading by day...

Now we all using vpn to tweet and most will go with USA.. and Europe.. that’s a real messy situation for the federal government

Ask them are you going to stay with Nigeria if Biafra gain independence, they won't stay yes but instead of them to either push for a better Nigeria together they're playing political card cheap political card. The point is either we want back to regional government or we spilt. One region can't been in all the good position in this country and use number as an advantage.
