Bubu suspended cox dey deleted his tweet..

no addition no minus

DontBullshitMe:
As funny and ironic as it sounds. . . .Buhari actually banned Twitter to promote free speech. Buhari didn't ban Twitter to clampdown on criticisms nor opposition.

You know what preceded the suspension of Twitter then right?

Twitter under Jack was badly run. It wasn't about rules but about political leanings.

OasisX:


....current situations in the country too dey sweet liveLongNprospa. Dude can't wait till even after a year to start dishing out - I told you so.

I am 100% certain prosperity is close, and Nigeria will be great again. This is simply a rough and tough patch we all need to endure for a while.

DeadPresidents:
Crack cocaine is the only explanation.

DontBullshitMe:
Exactly. Deleting Buhari's tweet was gagging him so him suspending Twitter in response is a demonstration of his commitment to freedom of speech.

It sounds funny I know.

For example, take Trump's suspension on Twitter. If the US govt takes any action against Twitter because of it, then they are defending free Speech. I hope you get my point? I am not defending Buhari here oh.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]You are still making his point for him.[/color]

DontBullshitMe:
In your own opinion, why did Buhari ban Twitter?

I want to see how you twist your way out of this.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Senior brother, i no understand u. Twiter just like nairaland have their rules & regulation.

DontBullshitMe:
Nigeria CANNOT prosper. The signs are too clear lool. The fundamentals are not there, this is not even about who the President is or whatever.

But I personally won't stop anyone from remaining optimistic.

DontBullshitMe:
Free Speech is Free Speech. Nothing like rules and regulations (arbitrarily enforced by CEOs).

This was El-Rufai making accusations that GEJ was paying Boko Haram to bomb and kill Northerners.

It's always funny when Cornvicts try to play the victim. There's nothing they can accuse Obidients of that APC didn't do *10. Imagine how bad things must have been for elected officials to think it was okay to say stuffs like this because of elections...now imagine what their online vuvuzelas with nothing to lose would have been saying .

APC's luck was that GEJ wasn't vindictive or ready to use power recklessly.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
nairaland don wipe/delete many pple post/comments 4 dis thread cox dey broke nairaland rule. So if any of us become president we go ban/suspend nl cox dey deleted ur post which broke nl rule?

That's where you are missing it.

If Nairaland deletes a post that does not break any Nigeria's law, then Nairaland is not a free Speech platform.

[b]I'll rather continue doing whatever gave me the 50m in the first place. [/b]I'll have more than enough to send them to any university anywhere in the world when it's time

Nigerians have suffered sha. It is a low down dirty shame.

Nezzjnr:
No be to carry 20m buy Treasury Bills or invest for Mutual funds?

Use 10m dey alright

ShaqFu:
The question now remain, why didn't GEJ sue El Rufai? It's that simple a question.

If accusations were made against the person of GEJ, it is up to him to sue if he finds the accusations malicious and denting on his image and personality. If he didn't sue, and Fashola did, I wonder why beings like you are ranting allover the place, as if you were the ones who they leveled accusations against. Tssk

DontBullshitMe:
Free Speech is Free Speech. Nothing like rules and regulations (arbitrarily enforced by CEOs).

So, who decides rules and regulations? The CEO who most times has his biases and business interests?

Infact, there is no way there can be a universal agreement on "rules and regulations" guarding free Speech. So, if a President tweets something, it is supposed to be "legal" by that Country's constitution and standards. If a Tech CEO then gags him, he is anti - free Speech TBH.

I don't like Buhari I swear but banning Twitter is him defending Free Speech. I swear it is crazy, I know.

DeadPresidents:
Na you dey look am like that o. Cuppy is picking her dream niggas out of a catalogue to fück. Basically, if you hit Cuppy, you’re her thot lmao

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
I disagree. It is left for the judiciary/courts 2 determine if it did not break any law in nigeria. You have d option 2 sue their ass.

U don't use the instrument of a state 2 fight ur personal battle/massage ur ego.

Itsrm:
The options are endless. The 50m invested in a long term 10 year bond at a conservative 12% interest rate will give you 165m when you liquidate it while you continue doing whatever gave you the 50m in the first place.

Eurobonds is another good idea to hedge against inflation.

God forbid I use 50m to japa

DontBullshitMe:
That's where you are missing it.

If Nairaland deletes a post that does not break any Nigeria's law, then Nairaland is not a free Speech platform.

So, if the CEO of a company makes a post that does not contravene Nigeria's law and it was taken down by Nairaland. He then withdraws his advertisement placement from Nairaland, his action is a defense of Free Speech.

Theflint1:
Lol, this your line or argument no too follow sha, so because Twitter stopped Buhari from saying what he likes using their platform, he responds by preventing millions of Nigerians from saying anything at all using Twitter.
