DubaiLandLord:
Nigeria need those countries more than they need us. I'm sure the Minister of foreign affairs go just explain why the government suspended Twitter.

Whatever they discuss - they need to be summoned. They are ambassadors!!!

Na sooo. That is how to tell them to shut up and mind their businesses.

Where were they when Kashoogi was murdered? They kept quiet like dunces.

Where were they when Trump was denied his freedom of speech by banning him?

Where were they when EU enacted GDPR?

We are a sovereign nation and we will fry Twitter until the brain of Jack is reset.

Politics / Twitter Ban: FG Summons US, UK Envoys, Others Over Comments by superstar1(m): 11:36am On Jun 07, 2021
The Federal Government has summoned the envoys of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and the European Union in Nigeria over their recent comments on the suspension of microblogging site Twitter in the West African Country.

This was contained in an invitation to pressmen issued on Monday morning by Kimiebi Ebienfa of the Crisis Monitoring and Public Communications Division of the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“I am directed to inform that following the recent ban on Twitter by the Federal Government and Press Statement issued by some Heads of Diplomatic Missions Accredited to Nigeria on the subject matter, the Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs, His Excellency, Geoffrey Onyeama has invited the affected Ambassadors to a meeting today at 12 noon.

“The venue is Minister’s Conference Room, 8th Floor.

“You are hereby invited to cover the meeting. Thanks for your usual cooperation,” the invite read.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that in a joint statement on Saturday, Canada, EU, UK, US, and the Republic of Ireland said banning systems of expression is not the way forward.

The statement was titled, ‘Joint Statement From The Diplomatic Missions Of Canada, The European Union (Delegation To Nigeria), The Republic Of Ireland, The United Kingdom And The United States Of America’.

It read, “The diplomatic missions of Canada, the European Union (Delegation to Nigeria), the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America convey our disappointment over the Government of Nigeria’s announcement suspending #Twitter and proposing registration requirements for other social media.

“We strongly support the fundamental human right of free expression and access to information as a pillar of democracy in Nigeria as around the world and these rights apply online as well as offline.

“Banning systems of expression is not the answer. These measures inhibit access to information and commerce at precisely the moment when Nigeria needs to foster inclusive dialogue and expression of opinions, as well as share vital information in this time of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The path to a more secure Nigeria lies in more, not less, communication to accompany the concerted efforts of Nigeria’s citizens in fulsome dialogue toward unity, peace and prosperity.

“As Nigeria’s partners, we stand ready to assist in achieving these goals.”

Twitter had deleted a controversial civil war post by the Nigerian President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

Consequently, the Nigerian Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, announced the suspension of Twitter, citing the “persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence”.

Though mobile operators have blocked their customers in the country from using Twitter, many Nigerians have switched to the use of Virtual Private Networks to bypass the blockage.

Nigeria, with over 200 million people, had about 33 million active social media users as of January 2021. WhatsApp is the most popular platform used in the country, with over 90 million users according to Statista. Also according to Statista, about 61.4 per cent of Nigerian social media users use Twitter, 86.2 per cent use Facebook, 81.6 per cent use YouTube, 73.1 per cent use Instagram, and 67.2 per cent use Facebook Messenger.

Majority of these IPOB are sick mentally and psychologically. It shows the level of bitterness that was planted in those children of bitterness.

OAP indeed and some will be listening to this empty head on the radio and they will think they are listening to a sensible human being when she is actually a hate driven beast

Rubbish - cheap Blackmail

It can’t work. Twitter remains suspended until the brain of Jack is reset to factory settings.

Respect Nigeria! U can do whatever you like with others - Not Nigeria. Twitter is not registered in Nigeria and does not have any locus standi in our nation.

You will die for nothing and they will use your name and pix to collect Grant.

You soul would not have left the grave, before you will realize they are fighting over the money they collected with your name amongst themselves and your family will only be weeping in vain.

Yara e ni brain!

Your protest is just a bodily exercise and waste of time! Your PVC is your only power.

Britain supports regulation of comments and posts by social media platforms which means, they r against buhari act.
No matter what happens, Buhari has no right to ban Twitter because he defaulted in their policies. I wonder d face buhari will use to twwet back in twitter wen the ban is over

You are an illiterate Fulani terrorist who doesn't know the meaning of Nigern Delta.

Niger Delta means Oil producing states in Nigeria. The Niger Delta states includes
Akwaibom
Delta
IMO
Ondo
Bayelsa
Edo
Abia
Rivers

Biafra is the Eastern Region of Nigeria...When referendum is conducted, those who doesn't want to be biafrans would vote against Biafra, those who wants to be Biafrans would vote for Biafra.

Eastern Region is minus present day Edo and Delta which is inclusive of Asaba grin grin

It seems the people in SERCRAP are dunces. That was how they were calling for sanctions against Nigeria based on LEKKISCAM.

I have bad news for you and your unpatriotic supporters - 1million of Commonwealth cannot sanction Nigeria.

Yorubas did not die of mass starvation during the war. Stop defending rubbish you Taqqiya Yoruba Muslim

You died of mass starvation - who did u expected to be feeding u during the war. It actually shows how dumb your war strategists and elders of your land were, they simply led you to the Golgotha to be slaughtered.

Now u are shouting war, ordinary onion u cannot grow and u will be shouting starvation again. U simply committed suicide by not thinking of how to feed yourselves before starting what u could not finish.

In your usual practice of always acting before thinking, always believing in brawn at the expense of brain - that is why the end result is always catastrophic for u - Always think before you act, Ebonyi Muslim!!

Politics / Re: Twiter Ban: The Impact On Foreign Investment by superstar1(m): 11:50pm On Jun 05, 2021
There is no significant impact!

Twitter already has a reputation of being a purveyor of fake news and agents of destabilization of other countries. It has problem in Turkey Russia India France etc

The total number of users of Twitters in Nigeria is less than 4m - so what is the noise all about. Even our Nairaland has more number of users. WhatsApp is the most used social media platform in Nigeria and it has a wider usage than Twitter by x4 or 5.
