The twitter ban is just a rehearsal of more sinister moves by the cabals controlled government. It is rather sad that Nigerians especially the youths are not seeing the bigger picture. This is not about Muslims or Christians. It is not about the north or south as the politicians will want us to believe. What is happening now is that the ruling class (PDP and APC) is using divide and rule tactics to distract us from their diabolitical plans for the poor masses of Nigeria. Because of the dwindling national revenue, politicians- National Assembly Members, Governors, Ministers no longer have enough money to steal. Almost all state governors have been complaining that after paying salaries, they don't have money to do any other thing again.

So they planned to

(1) Remove fuel subsidies completely so that petrol will be selling for N380

(2) Sack at least 50% of their work force

(3) Increase electricity tariffs.

There major headache is the Nigerian youths who may likely mobilise themselves through social media to resist these anti-people policies. hence they are trying desperately to divide us along ethnic, religion and party lines. Who else noticed that there is hardly any difference between APC politicians and PDP politicians? Who else noticed that PDP and APC are no longer criticising each others like before especially those in the National assembly?
They are trying everything possible to protect their common interest which is to loot our National treasury. I will not be surprised if other social media platforms including Nairaland will be shutdown in coming weeks.

I keep having the feeling that PMB's close aides are taking advantage of his limited knowledge of international politics and diplomacy. They are deliberately working on his ego and misadvising him to make global blunders.

The ban did much damages to Nigeria's reputation.

IPOB is the greater gainer of the ban!

CilicMarin:
Nigerians are about 200 Million people, and twitterNG has just about 2 million people, so you don't expect a president who swore to protect the corporate existence of Nigeria, to allow a platform that clearly supports the balkanization of the country to remain in operation..

IPOB has been designated a terrorists organisation by the FG and also pronounced by different courts of law in Nigeria, why twitter still give them audience and it's platform to threaten harm to the residents of the country?

Can twitter do that in America, or Europe?
Why can't they respect the laws of the country they operate in?


Twitter must respect the sovereign integrity of nations wherein they operate.

If a government had designated a group as a terrorist group, Twitter has no justification to allow such groups to propagate their rhetoric via their platform.

Respect Africa!

Good-bye Twitter..

lalasticlala Mynd44 ...let's balance it out...

Kanu Nnamdi is in UK and walking freely despite the fact that he was declared wanted in. Nigeria. Kanu is also operating radio Biafra from UK. What does that tell you? The UK and Europe is giving tacit support to IPOB. Do you know why? The world is tired of PMB's obviously Nepotism and obvious hatred for the Igbo. I am not Igbo, but PMB's behaviour is making the world to sympathize with the Igbos.

Rissamenti:
When Twitter comes begging, which they have no choice but to do, here are the 3 main conditions the FG must place on them, for re-entry into the Nigerian ecosystem.

1. Ban Nnamdi Kanu from Twitter.

2. Actively seek out and delete/ban posts which are capable of inciting violence and public unrest in Nigeria.

3. Publicly apologise to His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, for the rude and insulting manner in which they've handled this matter.

Twitter needs Nigeria far more than Nigeria needs Twitter.

Nigeria is Africa's largest internet market. Africa's largest digital ecosystem, projected to become the world's 3rd most populous nation and consumer market after India and China by 2050.

Every major firm on Earth has Nigeria on its radar for investment going forward.

Twitter has no choice but to crawl to Buhari and BEG, or they will lose countless billions of dollars well into the future, to the chagrin of their shareholders.

Twitter will never beg the present Nigeria government. In fact the government made a very foolish move by rushing to ban twitter. I am sure that the people that advised PMB to ban twitter are just out to embarrassed him. I am sure that by now the Cabal must have realised that the ban on Twitter was ill-advised. The will soon lift the suspension to save face. OP please use your thinking faculty. Check what The Nation Newspaper(That is alleged to belong to Tinubu) published about Twitter's response. Nigerians are now using VPN to access Twitter and the danger about this is that tweets from Nigeria are now popular on the global scale!

This is not about religion or ethnicity. This is about our fundamental human right. There thousands of Nigerian youths and businesses that depends on Twitter to reach out to their customers and market their products. Those who advised PMB to ban Twitter in Nigeria are just being mischievous and I think they want to bring the incompetence of the Nigerian government to the international arena.
The number of Twitter users in Saudi Arabia is more than 13million and despite the fact that some Saudi youths and women have been using Twitter to criticize their government, The Saudi government did not ban or suspend Twitter.
I am not a fan of PMB, but I want to advice him to be careful of advices from some of his aides because they are out to take advantage of his limited international exposure to embarrass him in the international arena.

Question :How do you plot the downfall of a dictator?

Answer: Work on his ego and misadvise him to make costly mistakes

Who are those advising PMB?

I keeps saying this: Buhari media aides and political advisers are deliberately sabotaging him.

Ganduje raised alarm yesterday about the presence of bandits in falgore forests in Kano. I hope our police and military will be proactive to keep Kano save of kidnappers and bandits. Kano is the only commercial city in the north with little peace.

Do a thyroid function test and iodine level test to rule out thyroid disorder. If the results comes out negative, then most likely you are having anxiety disorders, First stop checking your heartbeat and stop checking Google for your condition. It will only aggravate your anxiety. Try and do this for two weeks :

Chai.......Who did this to Lai Mohammed? Is it the love of money or fear of EFCC?

What is going on in Nigeria? How do we get here? It is like we never learn anything from history. The old Nigerians who witnessed the civil war should realised that the parameters are no longer the same. How do you preach one Nigeria, when a particular ethnic tribe is being obviously singled out for margination ? Even other tribes, Southwest, Middle Belt and South South are now complaining.

PMB still have the chance to quickly call all Nigerians together for a frank and honest discussion on how we are going to live together in peace. Now is the time to have the people's constitution. PMB should urgently review all his appointments and ensure that all regions are fairly and equally represented.

Nigeria cannot survive another civil war in its present fragmented state. If there should be any breakdown of law and order in the Southeast and the military is deployed to the region, bandits and terrorists will overrun the whole north and may even take over some states. The agitators in the southwest we become more emboldened and start their insurrections in the southwest. The militants in the Niger Delta will come out of their shells to ensure that the rest of the country don't have access to crude oil. The middle belt will not support the north this time.
The consequencies of another civil war in Nigeria will be very devastating.

Things are falling apart. The politicians, elites and the rich Nigerians should realise that the poor have nothing much to lose if Nigeria becomes a failed state.

The time will come when the rich will not be able to sleep because the poor are hungry and awake. The time will come when the rich will no longer have the army and police to protect them. At that time, their money will be useless. They will not be able to drive their flashy cars,
A time will come when the poor will start invading and looting the homes of the rich.

Now we still have time to make peace. Nigeria belongs to all of us and we all have equal stake. PMB is tearing apart our unity with his very obvious nepotism. Where is our Nation's; assembly?

The people of the core north are smart. They know they cannot afford another civil war without the support of the middle belt and Southwest. They know that retaliation is not the best option now.
The agitation in the Southwest is giving them sleepi4ness nights.

MY candid opinion is that a united Nigeria where there is fairness and equity can be achieved if we go back to the regional government model. Let remove so much power from from the Federal government. Let each region control it's resources and contribute equally to the centre.

Is it that the presidency does not have shame? Parents were in trauma for many weeks and these parents have to pay millions to secure the release of their children while our security men watch helplessly.

Now that the students have been released, what is stopping our Airforce from bombing the hideout of the kidnappers with the same zeal and vigor they are using in bombing ESN? I thought Elrufai promised to take the battle to the bandits. Are they waiting for another set of students to be kidnapped so that they can express shock as usual?

I am beginning to suspect something fishy about these bandits.It is like the government is treating them with kids gloves.

What if these bandits are actually the arewa version of EDN.?

Thank God this is coming from Garba

[quote author= post=101872149]El-Rufai, name names.
Our own is that every worker should be paid for their sweat at the due time..... so says the Holy Book.

Furthermore.....
The good workers among them should be recalled, but for the evil and devilish nurses that removed the oxygen from the face of a 3 day old baby in the incubator, they will not only be sacked permanently with their Nursing License revoked, but they will spend a long time in prison.

Those ones are not nurses, they are murderers.
If you are in support of such act, you are nothing but a heartless murderers also.

We Rise!

Keep shut gently..... okay?!
Kids are always ignored here! [/quote]I agreed with all your points above but I observed that you failed to comment on the decision of the governors to increase fuel from N165 to N380-N480. What is your opinion about the increase? That is why I respect Sarki........he is not a brainwashed followers of PMB's regime

The governors are only worried that they no longer have enough money to steal hence their desperation to remove fuel subsidies and reduce their workforce. The coming months will be very hard for ordinary Nigerians including those that voted and support these evil regime.

Mark my words, very soon the greediness of these governors and politicians will push Nigeria to a breaking point. They will be shocked that even their willing tools, the almajiris in the North will turn against them. Spontaneous revolution that will engulf the whole country will start from the North. The increase in banditry in the north is due to rampant poverty and unemployment especially in the region. The Northern youths are losing their cultural and religion values. It will get to a stage that they will start attacking their elites and politicians. With the wider usage of mobile phones and social media, the northern youths are now better informed and they can no longer be mobilised easily on religious sentiments.

If a Southern President in 2023 decides to use the reverse version of Buhari's template in appointing service chiefs and making other federal appointment as outlined below, will you accept it without complaining? The failure of the North and MURIC to condemn the lopsided appointments of PMB may come back to hurt them.

What the Federal Structure will look like in 2023 if a Southern Christian president decides to use the reversed version of the present template

1) Executive, National Assembly and Judiciary

President (South, Christian)
Vice President (North, Muslim)
Senate President ( South, Christian)
Speaker House of Rep (North, Christian)
Chief Justice of the Federation ( South, Christian)

NB The list is not exhaustive. But just do the reverse version of PMB's appointment template for the remaining appointments. I am not advocating that a Southern President in 2023 should follow this template that stinks of gross Nepotism and disregard for the federal character principle that is entrenched in our constitution. I just what people with good conscience and reasonings to know that something is not right.

Go with police or OPC escort It is rather sad that things have gotten so bad in Nigeria that our youths are being exposed to dangers in their efforts to search for elusive jobs. The youth unemployment rate is 42,9 %. That is why Nigerians youths are desperate to attend interviews in phoney organisation that do not have the courtesy of providing basic information for candidates they invite for interview.
My dear please exercise due diligence and caution when going for this kind of interview. I wish you all the best.

Unfortunately Israel is on a mission to decapacitate HAMAS to the extend that they will not be able to shoot a single rocket for many years to come. Israel is prepared and ready to face all the middle east countries. They have done it before and are even better prepared to do it again.

Countries like Egypt and Iraq knows better from experience, that Israel will use maximum force without even minding civilian casualties to defend themselves. Hamas should stop firing rockets like cowards from civilians locations. If Hamas really have balls, let them confront Israel in a ground battle at Gaza Strips.

As it is now, even the UN and US cannot call Israel to order. Israel will only stop when they want to stop. Have you ever wondered why Russia, China and even some nations in the middle east don't talk or take action against Israel's excesses? It is only Israel that have the capacity to stop the expansion ambition of Iran. If Israel are pushed to the wall and their survival is seriously threatened, they will not hesitate to exterminate any enemy nation in the middle east.

Well mine was in 2016, I was having a terrible headache so I went to the hospital the doctor told me is malaria and gave me some drugs, after two weeks of taking the malaria drugs the fever and d terrible headache persisted, then I was rushed to FMC where I was diagnosed of hypertitis C, very dreaded decease so while laying at d hospital bed looking weak that very morning my elder brother came to visit me with a prophet TB Joshua morning water (annoited water) he administered it to me, immediately I started gaining back my strength, my yellowish eye balls started getting back to normal exactly one week after he administered the morning water I went back to the hospital to run another test for the hypertitis behold to my greatest surprised it was negative! I spent roughly #58k to run additional test for other hypertitis like hypertitis A,B and C but all came out negative

My people will perish because of lack of knowledge. Often time people who are infected with acute hepatitis B can gain immunity to overcome the virus within weeks. If the virus persists in your system after six months it becomes chronic hepatitis C which may persist for life. I am not saying I don't believe in miracles but must Nigerians are easily gullible and will attribute natural or coincidental occurrences to the so called prophets instead of God.

helinues:
Opportunist writer at it again

Could someone show us the motivational and inspirational articles that Farooq has written in the last 5 years if not attacking others personalities?

My dear brother, will it be out of place for Buhari to organise a live press conference where journalists are free to ask him questions ? This will go a long way in proving to the world that PMB is sound in mind. Recalled that during PMB's last visit to the USA, the then president of US Donald Trump was reported to have told someone that he doesn't want to meet anyone as lifeless as PMB.

It is instructive that the white house did not denied this statement. Do you watch his last meeting with US officials? Why is he always reading prepared short speeches? Do you also observed that his handlers are always preventing him from meeting with the media? The politicians (PDP and APC),governors and members of the National Assembly are not complaining because they are cashing out big time from the present limitation of the president. Do you also notice that for some time now, he has not called council of state meeting where past head of states will be in attendance?

The sad reality is that PMB is limited by old age related issues and his aides and cabinet members are taking advantage of that. And I wondered why intelligent people like you are not seeing this obvious fact. Or could it be you are also benefiting from this obvious state of suspended animation?

seunmsg:
If the network has a recording of the conversation between Kufre and Uduak, the police should simply get a court order to retrieve it. The Telcos will obey a valid court order.

If Akpabio is actually guilty, he is so rich, powerful and connected that the so called call log will disappear! Is it not ironical that despite the barrage of petitions against Akpabio to EFCC, Akpabio is now the minister of NDDC? The sad fact is that Akpabio belong ;to the cabal of Nigerians that are untouchable.

Vaughanlanrewaj:
I can authoritatively declare that I have seen this horror film all my life and watching the Late Yasser Arafat, President, PLO, lived and died for this cause.
I still don't understand why it has to be a very holy month of Ramadan and attack on Muslims in their holy site in an unprovoked manner that any sane President of a country will want to embark on. It just doesn't make sense, especially when we are all praying for this pandemic to go.

He is using bomb to kill and scatter people in his opponent camp while he holed up his own people in shelter domes increasing the chances of bringing back new wave of covid-19 affliction again when they should be observing social distance when they just managed to get out of covid-19 affliction. Netanyahu has a poor emotional intelligence and his action in this case does not show him as a wise leader at all and that's why he is leaving office in shame. Isreal will someday get a matured wise leader in the mould of a Nelson Mandela or Anwar Sadat . They will make peace and the citizens will realise that they have been on a siege all their lives. Sincerely, Isreal can't win this war since with leaders like Netanyahu. His nation and citizens are prisoners by choice in their own land and continent.

Hamas should please stop firing missiles into Isreal too. Now at the cost of Isreali lives suddenly, Isreal has realised that Hamas actually has long range missiles m. Isreal should suspend plans to further lose their citizens. So much for the Isreali intelligence that didn't know Hamas has long range missiles.

Everyone should be sensible and toe the path of peace. If it's not him that approved that provocative and senseless attack , Netanyahu must sanction whoever approved the attack by the police on defenceless worshippers while observing a special Islamic night inside the holy site al-Asqra mosque.

This war is senseless and I am not happy innocent civilians are dying. By now I expect Hamas to know that Israel have the capacity to retaliate ten fold any attack on them. Israel does not care about civilian casualties or public opinions. From time immemorial, they are surrounded by ''enemies'' nations and to them, it is a matter of survival. I have a feeling that this time around, Israel will not stop until they inflict substantial damage to Hamas military capability. There are millions of wealthy Jews, scientists and experts all over the world and they are always united in supporting their people back home.

Hashabiah:
Israel has just started fighting a war they cannot win. The best solution is to broker peace because Muslims are more suicidal than any other religious group out there

Israel is used to terrorists since time immemorial. The Israelis are not afraid of any nation in the world. If they are pushed to the wall, within few months, they can destroy all other nations in the middle east

Very soon, the northern elites and politicians will regret not taking proactive steps to stop Boko Haram and the so called bandits. The fact is other regions are taking proactive steps to push these marauders to the North. If care is not taken, these marauders will overrun the whole north and establish a Taliban like regime.

While our ''military'' will be busy fighting the ''Talibans'' in the north, the southwest, southeast, south-south and middle belt may take bolder proactive steps to secure their regions. There may be the emergence of warlords all over the regions and the western countries will surely be interested in protecting the Southern part of Nigeria for obvious reasons.

If only our leaders, know what they are playing with!

On the long run, it is the northern politicians and elites that will be the greater losers.

Now is the time for all Nigerians irrespective of tribes, religions and regions to come together, review our constitution and peacefully determine how we are going to live together in our diversity

The fear of bandits and unknown gunmen is the beginning of wisdom. Even the ex-general is afraid of being kidnapped on his home soil.

Newzik:
I think Pastor Adeboye wasn't sincere enough to tell Nigerians who he saw in Aso Rock when he visited Buhari.
Nigeria has been thrown into chaos and insecurity is on the rise, people are dying like chicken and kidnappings are commonplace. Buhari has not deemed it important to talk to Nigerians or engage live press. No sympathy, no condolence and even Abuja is threatened. Where is Buhari, the man we voted to protect lives and property?
I think that if Adeboye had courageously told Nigerians the truth about the man in Aso Rock as a pastor, he would have saved Nigeria from death of thousands resulting from Buhari's incompetence. Nigerians could have pushed for his replacement. He allowed cabals to seal his mouth and people are dying every day. Could it be God warning Pastor Adeboye to save Nigerians by explaining the nature of Buhari he saw in Aso Rock?

Enough of this stupid reasonings and narratives. The assertion that the person in ASO Rock is not Buhari is an insult to the intelligence of intelligent Nigerians. Consider this fact:

1) Do you think the US with all It's intelligence agencies will allowed an impostor claiming to be PMB to come to US on an official visit? That will be scandalous!

2) Do you think people like Obasanjo, Danjuma, Gowon, Abdulsallam and IBB will keep quite if the person in ASO Rock is not Buhari?

3) Do you think Igbo politicians like, Umahi and Okorocha will not raise alarm if the person in ASO Rock is not Buhari?

4) Do you think people like father Mbaka and Rev Mathew Kuka will keep quite?

5) Do you think Fayose and Wike will not raise alarm if the person in ASO Rock is not Buhari?

You guys should stop this fairy tales.

NB: I am not a fan of Buhari. Read my previous posts.

It is gross foolishness to sack the MD for financial recklessness and then replaced her with the Director of finance. Who are those advising PMB?

Seun:
What could be the reason for this? Did her reforms displease the presidency? Was he disappointed by the execution? We need to know.

There is a cold war between El-Rufai and the Presidency.

ValCon888:
Government of the bandits, by the bandits and for the bandits.

If the FGN can collaborate with El-Rufai and give him the necessary support, I believe he has the ball to deal with bandits and terrorists.

NB: I am not a fan of Erufai but let give it to him-He is strong willed and proactive. He also have to work on his PR team.
