It's not easy to lose over 30m users.
How and when did Twitter lose 30m users?

First and foremost it is highly doubtful that twitter has 30m users in Nigeria. Nigeria is not in top 10 according to Statista https://www.statista.com/statistics/242606/number-of-active-twitter-users-in-selected-countries/

Pollster that released the figure of ~40m Nigeria was a fake number

https://africacheck.org/fact-checks/reports/forty-million-twitter-users-nigeria-how-pollsters-flawed-figure-became-fact

We only have about ~3m twitter users in Nigeria

The Federal government has nothing to lose. Twitter is losing revenue and that’s why they are willing to meet the conditions given to them by Federal government.

They will register in Nigeria as a business entity, open office in Nigeria, pay tax in Nigeria, subject their operation to NCC regulation and respect the sovereignty of Nigeria. That’s all we ask for.

No matter how you wailers try to spin this, it’s a big win for the Federal Republic of Nigeria and hopefully, other countries will learn how to curb the tyranny of big techs from Nigeria.

Have you seen their Q1 earnings? A company that made 28% increase compared to last year? You people overrate yourselves. That's an excerpt of the press release by their CFO.

"Q1 was a solid start to 2021, with total revenue of $1.04 billion up 28% year-over-year, reflecting accelerating year-over-year growth in MAP revenue and brand advertising that improved throughout the quarter,” said Ned Segal, Twitter's CFO.

Twitter is losing money?
Do you know how much Nigeria lost as a result of the ban?
Do you also know how many countries use Twitter.

Nigeria as a country lost nothing. However, some fees Nigerians who get paid for promoting brands and trends on Twitter lost money. Twitter as a corporate entity also lost money, that’s why they are willing to accept the conditions set by FG.

But d ban didn't stop Nigerians from accessing Twitter thru other means. So what's Twitter loosing?

Less than 20% of Twitter NG users are currently accessing the site. If there is no drop in usage, Twitter won’t bend to the conditions set by FG.

Stop hyperventilating.....

Twitter is nothing in the scheme of things. That company that is strugling to stay afloat. Have you checked thier numbers. Or you think it's the social media hype your fish brain is processing. They need every kobo to stay afloat.
Competition is rife.

Do you know how many online businesses that have moved to facebook and instagram. These Social media sites are already bigger than twitter and now twitter has f00lishly sacrificed is share of Naija market so that this bigger companies can snatch the fallout of users who have been frustrated from accessing twitter via vpn. They lost out again from an already lost battle.

U haven't answered my simple question with ur hyperventilation: When did Twitter say it has agreed to open an office in Nigeria?

So tell me, why is Twitter negotiating with the FG? Why is Twitter willing to accept some of the conditions set by FG if the ban has no effect on the organization?

Lai Mohammed briefed the media today on how far the negotiation with Twitter has gone. He mentioned some of the conditions that Twitter has already accepted. The thread is on Nairaland front page for you to see.

In reaction to what Lai Mohammed said, Twitter confirmed the discussion and even went as far as saying they hope the suspension will be lifted soon. You can Check the OP for the story since you didn’t bother to read before jumping to attack ignorantly.

If some business owners (brand promoters etc) lost money, don't you think it would negatively affect the economy of the country.
The money lost by Twitter is negligible when you consider other countries that contribute to their profit.
They are only after well meaning Nigerians that use and enjoy their platform.

The money lost by Twitter is not negligible. If it is negligible, they won’t bother to negotiate and accept conditions set by FG.

Dont defend blindly.Twitter rakes in billions of dollars from many country let alone Nigeria being ruled by a tyrannt. Many Nigerians have been using VPN to access twitter so the lost of revenue accruing from tax, and sundry goes to the FG government.

Imagine that the govt have lost over "$243million in the first 51 days of the ban on Twitter in the country..."
Meanwhile the FG can't ban FB, and other social media networks.So the foolishness is on the government.
From their comment we know....

Yoy seem to forget that it is Nigerians that validates the existence of a Nigeria or its government, as the case may be, and not the other way round. If Nigerians lost income and profits, we can safely conclude that Nigeria lost money. Capische?

clearly there was no such begging. Twitter is just being diplomatic with a sovereign state, and nothing more. This is FG's damage control move being hit hardest by its own ban. Everyone else including opposition PDP have been enjoying twitter except the government and its apparatus, so this move was coming one way or another.
