Fed Govt Makes U-turn: Twitter Ban Is Temporary by Kundagarten(op): 9:53pm On Jun 05, 2021*

After much pressure across the globe, President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday night made a U-turn on the indefinite ban of twitter in Nigeria, saying the ban is temporal.

Lai Mohammed had on Friday said Twitter has been suspended indefinitely in Nigeria, following the micro-blogging site deletion of Mr Buhari’s threat to repeat civil war genocide in south eastern Nigeria.

“The Federal Government has suspended, indefinitely, the operations of the microblogging and social networking service, Twitter, in Nigeria,” Mr Mohammed said in a statement by his spokesman, Segun Adeyemi.

Since the unpopular announcement, Nigerians from all walks of life have continued to condemn the action. Diplomatic missions of Sweden, Canada, United States, Britain, as well as rights body Amnesty International have all criticised the move and called for its reversal.

Local and international rights body say the ban of Twitter is an attack on the freedom of expression of Nigerians.

Mr Buhari in a statement by his spokesman Garba Shehu has now indicated that the suspension is temporary and not indefinite as earlier stated by Mr Mohammed.

Try and error regime ruled by dundees. This brutal regime has further tainted its already battered image. This goes a long way to show that the people making decisions on behalf of this country are idiots without brain. After much dragging by the rest of the world they have no option than to claim the twitter ban was temporary. Nonsense

Buhari thought this was 1984 when he could ban anything with decree. The world has moved on.

WHAT ''U-TURN'' ARE YOU HALLUCINATING ABOUT, OP?

TEMPORARY CAN BE EVEN LONGER THAN INDEFINITE.

A BAN IS A BAN.

Twitter will still need to make overtures to Abuja to make it reverse the decision.

They started by deleting Kanu's tweets a few hours ago.

And then they removed their 'Support Endsars' badge from their moniker.

But they must do more. grin

Nigeria holds ALL the cards here. cool

Keep deceiving yourself. Daft BMC. Kanu's tweet was deleted cos your fellow BMCs reported it.

Let the ban continue please, so that we can expose buhari round the planet with our VPNs. Rubbish.

Your problem is you are jobless.

In addition to being useless.

Instead of spending time in Nairaland abusing your grandfathers, go on YouTube and learn a skill for FREE, and start a small business.

One Lagos girl left uni with a degree and couldn't find a job. She went on YouTube and learnt how to bake exotic cakes. Some of her friends got salaried jobs, some entered olosho business.

She's earning more than all of them.

All she does is post her cakes on Instagram and FB.

Orders flow in by the minute!

People like this don't have time to come on Nairaland and be abusing Buhari.

Be like them or perish in misery.

YOU are the fool here. The Guardian which you posted, never said anything about a ''U-TURN'', which is what your local anti-Buhari amateur source interpreted the government clarification as.

Twitter ban is now a day old and Twitter is still banned and heaven did not fall, apart from ipobs barking like bingo all over the internet.

Twitter at the moment is correcting its errors and transgressions against Nigeria, all terrorist tweets are gone, they deleted all of it.

They need to do more before we allow them back into Nigeria.

#NGPower.

#NGStrong.

God Bless Nigeria.
