Nigeria Lifts Twitter Ban by sharpden: 8:32pm On Jan 12, 2022
President Muhammadu Buhari has directed that the ban on Twitter be lifted after about 222 days.

Mr Buhari had ordered the ban June last year days after his tweet deemed genocidal against the people of the South-East geo-political zone was deleted.

Mr Buhari gave the order after reviewing a memo to that effect from the Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami.

The was made known in a statement released by the Chairman Technical Committee Nigeria-Twitter Engagement and Director-General National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, CCIE.

“The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) directs me to inform the public that President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has approved the lifting of the suspension of Twitter operation in Nigeria effective from 12am tonight, 13th January 2022,” Mr Abdullahi said.

“The approval was given following a memo written to the President by the Honourable Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof Isa Ali Ibrahim.

“In the Memo, the Minister updated and requested the President’s approval for the lifting based on the Technical Committee Nigeria-Twitter Engagement’s recommendation.”

I was patriotic enough to leave Twitter as instructed by the FG despite having access to different VPN.

I've waited long for this news, now relieved.

This is height of patriotism,
God bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Is that truly madness/foolishness?

Useless government


cowards in power


Because election is near, they want to use the same Twitter they ban to campaign, and stupid dimwits will still support this administration with all their havocs and atrocities.

God punish them all.

They should have waited for Twitter to bring them assorted goats, numerous cocccks, tubers of yam, kegs of palm wine, assorted types of beer and hot then crawl on their knees cry and beg them so they can lift the ban .

Useless cowards in power

Funny country, I guess we should count it as one of his great achievements as a president. If u leave some presidents unchecked by International bodies, a lot would love to rule their country like North Korea
