Foreign AffairsRe: Why India May Ban Twitter, Facebook & Instagram by Rissamenti(op): 3:38am On Jun 05, 2021
Funny how Twitter plays good boy with the small, inconsequential developing countries like Ghana and co, but sees the rising, developing giants like India and Nigeria, as enemies to fight with.

The westerners don't want the darkies to be too powerful, just small, smiley and compliant.

Kiss teeth.

So many morons on this platform like the op...all you can think of is the bigness amidst impoverishment. May Nigeria happen to you. Say amen.
Is it the Guinea Bissau or Malawi replica that you wish to become that will not be impoverished?

At least in NIGERIA you always have a chance of making it, with its huge market, large middle class and buying power.

Those saying twitter will lose money forgets Nigeria will lose more. Watch as foreign investment plumments. No organisation worth it's salt would invest in a country where freedom is daily eroding.
You're a joker.

If you really think foreign investors will shun Nigeria because of TWITTER, you have serious issues.

Foreign AffairsWhy India May Ban Twitter, Facebook & Instagram by Rissamenti(op): 2:18am On Jun 05, 2021
Why Facebook, Twitter, Instagram could be banned in India from tomorrow?

Business Today

If these social media platforms fail to accept govt guidelines, they risk losing status as social media platforms and protections as intermediaries. Government can also take action against them as per the law of the land for not following the rules

Social media giants like Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and Instagram may face ban in India if they fail to comply with the new intermediary guidelines for social media platforms. The three-month deadline given by the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MEITy) to accept these guidelines ends today i.e. May 25 but none of the giants have so far accepted the new regulations. The rules will be effective from tomorrow despite these companies seeking a total six-month delay in their implementation.

Homegrown social media platform Koo, which is the Indian version of Twitter, is the only platform that has so far accepted the Centre's intermediary guidelines.

PoliticsRe: With VPN It Is Impossible To Ban Twitter In Nigeria by Rissamenti: 1:36am On Jun 05, 2021
YAWN.... OP.....WE KNEW ABOUT VPN BEFORE YOU WERE BORN.

THE THING WITH VPN IS VERY FEW WILL OPEN THEIR VPN BROWSER JUST TO GO ON TWITTER.

ONLY SOME HARDCORE TWITTER FOLKS CARE ENOUGH TO DO ALL THAT.

SO IT IS A BIG BLOW FOR TWITTER TO LOSE THER BIGGEST MARKET IN AFRICA.

Try and get sense. You are equating a dangerous, divisive and threatening tweet by the sitting president of the most black populous country on earth with a non state actor like Nnamdi Kanu?

If that is the case, agitate for Nnamdi Kanu to switch places with Buhari so that Kanu's tweets can be deleted and Buharis own kept
What is ''dangerous, divisive'' about a govt statement saying that those causing violence and killings will be stopped?

I THINK YOU'RE A LUNATIC. YOU AND THE IDIOTS THAT RUN TWITTER.

No, We shall not be ruled by disorder and secessionist violence, and if that is what you and Twitter want for Nigeria, you're not getting it!

Twitter should not censor the president of Nigeria and if it chooses to do so it should be kicked out of Nigeria. That s the African way

Shareholder are smiling , twitter stock rose by 3 percent after the announcement
Garbage. Twitter stocks have been rising regardless of events in Nigeria, and rose 3.4% in the last 12 hours alone as well. So it's absolutely nothing to do with Nigeria.

What shareholders are concerned with is the impact of the ban on long-term strategic gains, and being excluded from Nigeria, Africa's biggest internet market and ecosystem, is not regarded as a good sign.
PoliticsTwitter Ban Shows WHY Nigeria Must Remain ONE. by Rissamenti(op):
In a way, this Nigerian ban of Twitter exemplifies the VERY REASON WHY NIGERIA MUST NOT BREAK UP.

I mean.....the very audacity of it is heartwarming.
smiley

Tell me something.

How many countries in Africa can even DARE to contemplate such a thing?

Challenging such a major international corporate giant?

Banning them?

Very few. Maybe South Africa, Egypt, finish.

AND NIGERIA.

The twitter ban is a VERY BIG DEAL for Twitter.

They are not happy about it one bit.

Their shareholders are not smiling, and privately see it as a fiasco by the executives.

See, Twitter has a reported '2 million' Nigerian users. The likelier figure is 10 to 15 million.

Not just that, but Nigeria is projected to become the 3rd most populous nation on Earth after India and China by 2050.

No big firm in their right mind wants to be excluded from the Nigerian market going forward.

So Twitter are very unhappy about this ban.

See, we could not say these things about your little 'Biafra', 'Oduduwa', 'Arewa', 'Niger Delta' etc new republics you want to replace Nigeria with.

You would each become like Sierra Leone. Togo. Burkina Faso. Guinea. Ignored by the world, and bullied by the likes of France.

Could your tiny countries DARE to ban Twitter?

Nahhh... They'd be your absolute LORDS.

But today, as Nigeria, you sneeze, and the whole world catches a cold including Twitter.

What a great fall it would be, your disintegration.

Today, Twitter has issued a statement saying they are ''deeply concerned'' that Nigeria has banned them.

I'm pretty sure they are making overtures to the Nigerian govt to reverse the ban.

If Oduduwa republic or Biafra republic bans Twitter, do you think Twitter would even notice, much less issue a statement?

Who dash una?

Listen up, African. The ONLY thing that makes you relevant in today's busy world is that name, NIGERIA. Africa's biggest economy. Africa's most populous nation of 210 million people. Giant of Africa. Continental powerhouse. Geopolitical behemoth.

Lose that, and you become ..NOTHING.

WoundedLamb:
For me, the issue is not whether Twitter was right or wrong for deleting the president's tweets. The issue is that in a bid to get back at Twitter, the president dragged the entire nation into it. Twitter deleted his tweets and he's moving to block the entire nation of about 200 million people from accessing the app without VPN as if the country is his personal property and the opinion of the people doesn't matter. Even the people praising him for this are also caught up in the middle and what shouldn't even concern them cause he'll only end up stressing everyone, the organization and his citizens alike.
Your problem is that you are seeing it as a personal beef between Buhari and Twitter. Buhari is acting in his capacity as President, by saying that you cannot operate in our space if you allow secessionists and anarchists to post destabilizing messages on your platform, while disallowing Nigerian authorities from making posts threatening repercussions for breakdown of law and order.

If the country descends into warfare, will Twitter executives come and fight the war? No. They will be enjoying on their private yachts in the Caribbean.

So Buhari is only protecting his country from descent into anarchy and disintegration.

That's his job.

When Will Twitter Ban Nnamdi Kanu's Hate Speech?


Hate Speech Monger - Nnamdi Kanu
https://247newsaroundtheworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/why-i-dont-heavily-criticise-boko-haram-nnamdi-kanu.jpg

This man posts all sorts of vitriolic, abusive, threatening messages against Nigeria and the Nigerian government, including highly tribalistic smears, and blood-curdling commands to his followers, to kill and maim innocent Nigerians, including law enforcement agents.

BUT NOT FOR ONE DAY have I heard that Twitter cautioned him, or warned him against such dangerous use of the platform.

And then the Nigerian president uses the same twitter to warn troublemakers of repercussions, and HE gets his posts deleted by twitter.

I mean, WHAT CLEARER CASE OF BIAS IS THERE THAN THAT?

If I were Buhari, I would do the EXACT SAME THING, and ban them from operating in the Nigerian space.

Oh sure, some people can use VPN, but research shows that most peeps won't bother if they have to go to that extent.

So WELL DONE Mr President.

Twitter has terms and conditions, Füćk off if you knw you can't comply with them. No matter who you "think" you are, you'll get banned and disgraced outta Twitter the moment you breach their rules. See how Buhary is getting disgraced now in public stupid old man grin
To hell with Twitter's ''terms and conditions''.

Slaveboy to twitter.

They are supporting insurrection and anarchy in your country, and like a brainless dunce, you support them.

Tell me, when Nigeria descends into war, where will twitter president Jack whatever-his-name-is, be?

On his private yacht in the Caribbean perhaps?

Certainly not in refugee tents getting food aid from the Red Cross like you and your family members.

Idiot why can't Buhari develop Nigeria like china
Idiot, do you think it took 5 years to ''develop China''?

Do you even know how many people were killed and jailed, with no democracy allowed till today, no elections, no free speech etc, and ruled by brutal dictatorship, which enabled China to ban all imported goods for 30 years to force development. Can you tolerate that in Nigeria so that you can be like China in 30 years time?

If not then shut up, because that is what China did!
