Freedom of speech is not a laughing matter.

That i support freedom of speech does not make me an ipob or pdp supporter apc man.

Stop laughing. Support freedom of speech and tell your Buhari to bring the change he promised

This is really confusing.

When you delete people's speech and then turn around to claim freedom of speech, you are either a born hypocrite or just confused, crooked and deceptive, in fact, you lost all the moral authority and capacity to say anything about freedom of speech.

I don't think most people understand where Trump is coming from. He's supporting Nigeria not because Twitter needs to be named but that Twitter has censorship that prevents people from voicing their opinions regardless of who it is hurting. Some people that supports this ban should know that Trump is not on their side. He just wants social media platforms to allow people express themselves and I'm sure that is not what the Nigerian govt wants. They just want to gag our voices while theirs are the only ones speaking.

Thank God that America as a nation has strong institutions that were able to limit the excesses of the twice impeached orange man if not he would have done the same to America when Twitter permanently sent him to the oblivion of irrelevance.

If only Nigeria had strong institutions too to limit the excesses of dictators.


Thank God 81 million Americans removed that sick man from office.The orange head needs big tech more than big tech needs him,no wonder he had to end his blog because he couldn't get the attention he had on Twitter and tried to enter Twitter again last month and Jack banned the account again.

Like Trump like Buhari that is why I am amazed that people support Trump then hate Buhari they are the same thing the only difference is that America had strong institutions to curtail him which Nigeria unfortunately doesn't have

A mlion likes or this post. Individuals have always been stronger than our institutions... That has been the bedrock of our woes as a narion

TMr Trump is realing from defeat and failure amnesia and his thoughts are cruel.
He should have done that to Twitter in his time but he knows well that he will lose all these so called Republican loyalties.
• Here is a man that does not believed in Democracy,a Russian agent in the White House.
• Trump had miopic knowledge of World Affairs, thinking that Twitting is the only way to move American forward- Mr Twitter,how now?
• He brought and lived in Conspiracy Theories,by so doing,he could not read the American forefathers 'ethos' on equality of all races!
• Trump performed woefully on human relations,he started 'American First' and it took Americans 4-years to know that he was preaching Trump First' and you know,the Great American People did not waste time to throw him out of the Power House.
• Trump knew that it is the Rule of Democracy that ' majority own the votes' as a Winner but could not acknowledged it in the elections that brought Biden and many Republicans do still believed the lies he is spreading! So arrogant!
• Thank God, American has moved on without him- here is a man that failed to face Covid-19 that killed over -haif a Million American,that a new President Biden destroyed within a twinkle of an eyes.
Mr Trump,De Ja Vu!

Sad so sad...why are you mad at trump..how has he affected you in your country..is he your leader... Sad

Well now America is great again right... Constant power outage in some states, pumped up fuel prices and queue line in filling station...

Jeez..Why can't people see beyond their own hate...

Beancounter93:


Sorry, but Trump is just as autocratic as Buhari...otherwise he won't have been praising him for banning Twitter...and WISHING...that he TRUMP did the same in the USA WHEN HE WAS IN CHARGE.

Trump is just Buhari lite with better performance

And yeah, Twitter is BIASED...but the fact is, if you don't like twitter, you can SIMPLY BOYCOTT IT...which is what Trump and Buhari should have done...not BAN it which promptly makes you out as a oppressor of free speech as Buhari did, and Trump is now supporting.

Better stop supporting Trump, or Buhari. (And don't back the liberals either). Trump is just as bad as the autocrats in Nigeria.

All this autocratic/democratic... Shey you know millions of people voted them into power?
Shey you know?
Go and blame the people

Yes, that's what we want and exactly what sane, rational and responsible Twitter users want, but that freedom of speech is not absolute when it comes to hate speech, incitement and terrorism.

There's a proposed social media law in the UK vowing to block access to terrorists enabling social media platforms like Twitter.....meaning the UK won't hesitate to ban Twitter for the same reason Nigeria came up with against Twitter.

Freedom of speech is not absolute.

Twitter is not the only platform.Twitter does not compel you to register an account or be punished by having to recite" Jack Dorsey " a million times a day.

Your government could have just simply boycotted the platform or moved to another platform tjat does not restrict speech as Twitter does

By banning Twitter they prove themselves to be autocrats. Which is wrong .

FG caught in between Democrat and Republic US politics isn't a good one.

So Trump was a dictator?
I wish you'd live in North Korea or Russia or Zimbabwe to know what Dictator means.

No offense but you need to know that you're socially unintelligent.
You've allowed the media with social media to insinuate a narrative into your mindset now you're simply playing to their gallery.

Trump is not a dictator but his praise for Buhari decision to ban Twitter and wishing he had the same idea is worrying....And shows he might have been one big dictator if not for the US system of checks and balances

I agree with you, but you didn’t have to be racist to make your point!

The fact that Twitter is not the only social media platform doesn't mean Twitter is not liable or accountable for what they allow on their platform. We are not saying Twitter must be punished for what transpired on Facebook.

I really don't get your point.

Btw, by banning free speech, Twitter proves itself to be autocratic. You can not say you are for free while against and delete free speech, you simply can not have it both ways.

Twitter is just a social media platform, not the King of the world or above sovereign countries.

Seen

Just like that hand, Na so buhari go squeeze your future

CilicMarin:
Now that the Almighty Father, The Omega, Omniscience and Omnipotent God Of IPOB Terrorists Have Endorsed The Action Of Our Daddy Buhari...Can We Now Safely Say, That Whoever That Is Still Fighting Us, Is Fighting God!!!

The implication of this, is that Trump has voiced the political stand of the GOP...any attempt to sanction Nigeria, would highly resisted by the GOP's in the Congress...

Once again congratulations President Buhari..

Trump the very much slowpoke and deluded man should note and know that if it were in America he can't ban Twitter the institutions there are stronger than he is. In fact doing so would have amount to nothing but a suicide mission and talking about 2024 how and here I think his Whitehouse will be at Florida in Mar a Lago club, West Palm Beach forever. Biden is doing a wonderful and awesome job! I guess with how Trump was tested and dusted even a Mayor or councillor of his district he won't win. nonsense!

You see why it's foolish to support Trump?

For a start, Trump can do anything about his ban. He couldn't even dare to ban Twitter in the US.

Lastly, Trump was suspended and banned while Major General Buhari's tweet was only deleted

lapazi:


I agree with you, but you didn’t have to be racist to make your point!

Calling trump orange isn't racism,point put where I was racist

BTw, there was no way Trump could have banned Twitter in America.

The lawsuits he will face from Twitter, the ISPs and even millions of Americans will make him think twice.

And their congress too will not allow him.

America is not Nigeria.

So you can allow people come to your house and say whatever because there is Freedom of Speech?

This is a fake News....


Don't fall for this hoax..

When the Nigerian government and many Twitter users reported Kanu's hate, destructive, violent, and anti-Nigerian terrorist Tweets, they said it did not violate anything, but minutes after the ban, they all of a sudden deleted the Tweets because it violated their policies.

I don't know who is making the decisions at Twitter, but they crewed up and mismanaged the whole issue, they made it easy for the Nigerian government to can them, rightfully so.

I don't know why this Twitter outfit got so power-drunk that they think they are above Nations and their elected leaders.

You are the socially unintelligent clown since you didn't see the dictatorial tendencies of trump.

Trump aka orange head was against the media and fighting the constitution and was cozy to dictators like Putin,Kim Jong Un and was okay with Saudi Arabia despite the nation being a known violator of human rights.If you followed his presidency you will see the dictatorial tendencies he had but the American institutions constrained him so he was in check.trump coming out to support what Buhari has done says it all but then you are not socially intelligent to know this

Please be quiet nobody is influencing me or has any gallery I play to.I have always disliked him even before he ran for office I have eyes and brains to know that Trump nor get sense.

The media never told me that

MICHEALADEX:



But he was your hero some months back

Nor be me oo.

I have been against Trump from day one.

Sterope:
Still wondering why Buhari's action is very dangerous?

What buhari did has rendered twitter useless when it comes to countries power holders..

You’ll understand it - just keep observing..

Beancounter93:


1.Agree with you at the bolded...it was one of the most puzzling things that Trumpites in Nigeria hated Buhari, and Buharites hated Trump.
I guess there is truth in the maxim...Like repels (like trying to bring 2 North POLES of different magnets together...)

2.Am sure there would be some changes to the narrative among Trumpites in Nigeria today...

You are correct.

Fake news from DSS and Liar Mohammed

Lordcassy:


You clearly do not understand what free speech is...People like are you can not see beyond your own disdain and be... Trump is the one the best US president ever... Leftist cunt

Trump was one of the worst and I am glad he was booted out

What an idiot he was,free speech is not hate speech and the ability to talk like an idiot and promote violence

Trump was rightly banned and he was the worst idiot.

You are the cunt not me.

san316:


He didn't do it because he lost.

No, he didn’t do it cuz USA own twitter..

Trump for over ban twitter for say nah China or Europe tech company..
