Onyeama had said the suspension of Twitter was in the interest of national security and peace.

Leaving terrorists, killer Fulani herdsmen, bandits and kidnappers and fighting roforofo fight with Twitter.

This administration has no shame.

Lumig:

These Western countries should not be trusted.
They are architects of most crisis and wars in the world

Exactly. Don't they have better things to do with their time than trying to ensure twitter retains influence and functionality in Nigeria? Why are people so pedestrian in thinking? Did we not survive before twitter?

This is how they imported Christianity and Islam to Nigeria and we jettisoned our traditional beliefs to embrace foreign religions that now threatens to tear our nation apart.

The mentality of many Africans that "West is best" will ultimately always frustrate our growth. Until we begging to device African solutions to African problems , and shunning the West as a consequence, we are going nowhere and will continue to be 'sheeples' following Western herdsmen like the insufferable Jack Dorsey and co.

In as much as the FG went a bit overboard with the ban, plus the fact that Buhari is a disaster, I love the boldness and the gut they displayed in banning twitter. Not any country try what they did, moreso a developing nation.
Truth be told too, Tweeter did thread well and they've learnt their lesson.

D same FG ban. D same FG began calling foreign diplomats to explain itself. D same FG ban& they are negotiating with Twitter and u call that boldness. Which lesson did Twitter learn?

with all d issues bedeviling Nigeria, from inflation, a failing economy, rising unemployment, kidnappings, failing infrastructure, failure on d part of govt to render public service, corruption e.t.c., it is Twitter that u and d govt feels is d most important issue at hand. As we speak, about 200 school kids are still in captivity. Nigeria can't deliver something as simple as passport to it's people and u say nigeria is a sovereign nation. Electricity is still epileptic in many parts of nigeria. So is deleting buharis tweet a more important issue than d business of governance which this govt has failed at delivering?

You guys are jus filled with ethnocentric hate of others to the extent your thinking and reasoning is always compromised 24/7.

Did we not survive before Twitter? What the hell is Twitter for you now to talk as if the West can hold the President of the biggest black nation on earth to ransom if we decide to do away with what is essentially an optional chat and opinion medium?

In your haste to always attack Buhari you hate, you speak foolishly in support of western imperialism and bullying of African nation. No fan of Buhari but twitter and its owner act as if they are a law into themselves able to dictate to nations.

They are beginning to exhibit the saying "absolute power corrupts absolutely". To hell with Twitter and everyone making them think they are now an important part of universal life no one can do without.

I have never sent a single tweet in my life and I am successful, sociable , well-adjusted and happy. Obvious then that people like me show that twitter is not a god we must all worship let alone blackmail nations over.

Shut up jor..if we go by what u are saying,then we should ban phones,Internet and everything cuz the people governing this are acting the same way as Twitter..we ve been surviving before this,if they ban all,we will still survive..

Una go just open mouth waaahh to spill trash..

Twitter is more than just a social media app,its some people's office,organization..thereby banning them is banning this people of their livelihood

The minimum requirement to restore Twitter back in Nigeria is an open apology and financial compensation from the host company. Anything less is not acceptable cool

Twitter shouldn't even listen to the government if the don't act civil. Apc government can continue it's dictatorship if they like it's only a matter of time b4 it haunts them for life.

This present day nigerian youths are a disappointment, to say the least...
We tend to glorify anything foreign at the detriment of Nigeria's integrity...
Especially we the southern youths, we really need to check our selves...
We think speaking smooth English without sensible contents means we are intelligent forgetting that English in itself is just a language (a means of communication)!
Hatred for Buhari is a choice and you you, as individual, decided to tow that line is your choice but...
ignorantly muddling the hatred with Nigeria as a nation is most unfortunate for us...
And when someone has opposing thoughts and ideas to you, and you can't seem to have superior argument to challenge the points, you results to insults and intimidation...
May God help this nation...

God will bless you ojare. Push comes to shove, Nigerians who are sensible shoukd see the big picture if our adult have the right orientation.

We can disagree with the ban of twitter by Buhari but what we must never support is a crew of Western nation coming together to bully Nigeria, as a sovereign nation, to rescind her ban of twitter.

That is imperialism and any intelligent Nigerian will see the big picture at stake here. Even disgraceful Nigerian mentally and physically lazy youths are defending twitter so passionately, as if it is a god they will die if they do not worship, yet they don't appreciate how regrettable it is that not one of them can give the world the Nigerian equivalent, or better, of twitter considering we are the biggest black nation on earth.

Everything 'imported' continues to relegate our own ability to chart a unique path forward that is directly relevant to our needs and aspirations as Africans yet most Nigerian youths cannot see this. Tragic.

They only honoured the invitation so they could hear the nonsense the FG have to say before rejecting the FG Twitter ban

Why is the FG in talks few hours after the U.S , UK envoys rejected their Twitter ban?

Who pass you pass you . The FG is too small.

You people are very funny! What Twitter needs to do to make up for any lose they might incur is to monetize some of there features and that's it.

Money will keep rolling in.

Bruv, twitter remains an optional chat and opinion medium regardless of whatever 'add on' it has spawned as a result of its core activity. The point is that twitter is partisan, arbitrary and dictatorial in conduct.

They show partiality and favouritism openly. They have moved away from being a neutral referee to becoming an arbiter of right and wrong.

Not a fan of Buhari but I support the twitter ban to send a message that sovereign nations cannot be held to ransom by the dictates of individuals controlling social media apps.

Why is twitter begging then? If you're not a self-hater and worshipper of the opinion "West is best" then why would you think a social media app is bigger than the biggest black nation on Earth?

No fan of Buhari but I fully support the twitter ban. Jack Dorsey is the typical nerdy douchebag who thinks he can now abuse power he hosts currently because of technological/IT success.

Successful Nerds are prone to abusing power because, typically, they never had any power over anything or anyone in the past before current technology/IT success.

A platform that can gather top countries to visit a country with a brain dead leader and tell him to his face that he was wrong with his actions.
A platform that doesn't recognize your brain dead president. Say all u want but twitter is bigger than this current government. Don't blame jack for having a Terrorist as a leader. He didn't vote the fool into power, you kind did. And Buhari if he could comprehend properly knew the terms and conditions to abide by but he thinks twitter is like nigeria where he behaves like the fool he is all the time.
He has no option than to give twitter their space and allow freedom of expression especially by the oppressed and nothing malami can do about it. Ask el rufai who recently tweeted.
