Ogamysamo:
don't you worry 9999 apps will soon register, acquire licence and be paying tax before working in nigeria

It is so absurd to only be dragging Twitter

There is no justification for singling out only one app from the 9999...

This is beautiful, at least from the pics provided.

No one in the future should undermine the Niger Delta, cause that’s directly were the resources for this came from.

You can tell the region that funded your city to “go back to their village” and the likes.

Why all the focus on Twitter for registration?

There are thousands of applications both on the Google PlayStore and the Apple App Store, which Nigerians use but aren’t registered here.

Apps from games, productivity apps, lifestyle, music... and social media, of which Twitter is just ONE.

Following Lai Mohammed’s logic, every app must register in Nigeria, even you wallpaper and theme launchers on Android.

There are a lot of things that Lagos can do to help improve and blaze the trail for Nigeria

A few of these are (note these problems are common throughout the country)

- Cover open gutters
There is no reason for Lagos to still have kpotopoto poo and pee mix with algae gutters open to the public.

-Enforce traffic laws
I don’t mean officers just standing at junctions, because most traffic infractions happen on the move and not while stationary. So you need a mobile force to PATROL and Pull Over malefactors. I once told someone that in the U.S, you can’t change lanes without using your signal and he didn’t believe me. The devil as the day is in the details. You can not overlook things like people driving on lanes, in the bush path, not using signals, and expect to have an orderly traffic situation, it will NEVER EVER HAPPEN.

-Reduce hawking/begging on streets
This one is kinda hard, cause of the economic situation in the country, but it will be disastrous in the long term to have so many out of school children live their lives on the streets chasing after cars.

-Provide Pipe Borne Water
A lot of houses already have boreholes for water, but a lot also don’t have this. It would be nice to provide one of the most basic infrastructure to the people in the form of pipe borne water.

All in all Lagos and the rest of our lands will continue to improve, and hopefully in leaps and bounds with the right leadership in place.

I love these girls men

Coldshisha:
Okay who are you voting for in 2023 what party and candidate

Kindly state your valid reasons

.

I’m thinking Sowore but still open to ideas beyond apc and pdp, unless of course those parties were to by chance bring out brilliant candidates, which isn’t a likely outcome going by their antecedents.

The why for Sowore is cause he would be one of the most brilliant presidents Nigeria has ever had. Graduating from an Ivy League school and growing Sahara reporters to what it is today are some of the things that endear me to him.

With voting other parties, there’s a higher likelihood of getting the best (or close) man for the job, as they don’t subscribe to the zoning policy laid out by the apc and pdp. How can merit be upheld in a system that promotes “turn by turn”? It’s almost like flying in a plane piloted by the best pilot in his/her class, versus flying in a plane with a pilot only there because it’s the turn of his/her tribe to fly the plane.

Why naija youths after all the suffering still vote apc and pdp is beyond me. Is everything just a joke to you guys?

You will use every opportunity to destroy your country with your votes like it is not your country

Saying things like elrufai next and Tinubu is the only man for the job


Meanwhile, there exists super talented young and old Nigerians who are breaking boundaries, that will not be considered by you guys.


Search deep within yourselves men

richmond500:
Arrest all the fools that don't want to have sense.
All those zombies that keep asslicking the white men, arrest and flog them.

To them, the white man could have his way cos he is white and everything about Nigeria must die.

To them, anyone can call Nigeria a shithole and get away with it as long as he is white.
To them, any company can do as they please in Nigeria as long as that company is owned by a white man.
They complain too much about Nigeria importing things but they are the first to condemn anything Nigeria produces,
Just check the thread of Nigeria producing her phone and see the toxic people this country breeds

Arrest them

Use this same energy to push for your own country brah!

You can’t be spitting this much fire at a people and still want them with you, that wouldn’t be too smart, yeah?

Hapinex01:
Well Twitter too no try, after having over 40M users in 9ja, yet dey open there site for Ghana, make u self reason am now, na only 4M followers them get for there fah.

To me, 9ja was waiting for opportunity to raise there upset

but doesn’t this ban answer your question?

Won’t federal agents have shut down their offices by now if they in Naija?

What court would they run to?

China, Iran, North Korea, Turkmenistan

and now Nigeria

All the companies both local and multinational

All the influencers

All the musicians, actors and artists

All the creatives

All the students

All the casual users


All locked out of Twitter because of Nnamdi Kanu according to Lai Mohammed

Chai

Nigeria begging for ventilators on the same Twitter street that Nnamdi Kanu lives

Romanoff:
And because of one person, millions will suffer.

Why can't FG use the same Twitter to unite Nigerians?

Analogy time

Criminals use phone so we must ban phone networks in Nigeria as they are capable of undermining the country

Criminals use internet for fraud so we must ban internet in Nigeria as it is capable of undermining the country

...

ogbuefi677:
As an Igbo man, I have no problem with Tompolo or any Niger deltan enjoying or even stealing the proceeds of the oil God blessed them with.After all,stealing and looting is all abokki has done to this once beautiful country since independence.
The one I have problem with is the lazy,uncircumcised desert terrorists who have never seen a swamp talk more of an oil well,coming to loot the resources of the region like they do thru headship of NNPC etc.
May Allah continue to punish all Islamic terrorists and their supporters.

No wonder states like Delta remain underdeveloped, cause people like you will jail all the thieves there.

The black man is really a special breed walahi

WoundedLamb:
Hhmm... But these are two very different tracks. These countries were in existence before electricity was invented. They invented electricity at some point in their existence and some decades later, they came up with technologies to spread it all over the West. It's not as if it took them years to catch up with some pre-existing technology. We are not asking Nigeria to invent electricity or create anything, we are asking Nigeria to harness a technology that has been in existence long before the country was born. Please, let's not compare adoption with invention.

Just an opinion.

Abeg loud it for him to hear bros

It’s like you are not aware of this guy and him blaming al Nigerias problems on whites

Rissamenti:
We always talk about Europe and America as if they've ALWAYS had constant light from the get go, with no problems.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

They suffered their fair share of POWER CUTS and NO POWER ACCESS right up till the 196OS.

1960s is like yesterday, in terms of our world.

As stated by research:

''In the 19th and early 20th century, electricity was not part of the everyday life of many people, even in the industrialised Western world. The popular culture of the time accordingly often depicted it as a mysterious, quasi-magical force that can slay the living, revive the dead or otherwise bend the laws of nature.

With electricity ceasing to be a novelty and becoming a necessity of everyday life in the later half of the 20th century, it required particular attention by popular culture only when it stops flowing''

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity

Another source confirms this, saying:

''The oldest American power lines date back to the 1880s, and most of today’s grid was built in the 1950s and 1960s with a 50-year life expectancy.''

https://www.popsci.com/story/environment/why-us-lose-power-storms/

So Nigeria is not going through what America or England did not go through in their development.

We WILL succeed.

You are such an enemy of the black race men

Always looking for excuses as to why Nigeria won’t develop.

Next you will say white people stole your technology and it was in Africa that science started, bla bla bla

Then when they ask you about separating Nigeria, a white mans creation, you will say that Nigeria is indivisible

Men this guy is spitting fire

kingthreat:
All you guys supporting Twitter at the expense of your country have shitty principles. Is Twitter God? Twitter collects money from adverts from Nigerians and pays zero tax to your country and you guys feel it is necessary to side with a tech company's irresponsibility over a country? Its good the suspension is done for a few months for the sake of the influencer and social media industry in the country. Then the tech companies respect laws in the countries that use them. Every country has a choice to go China on them.

Lol, now you’re talking law, what law did Twitter break?

Buhari supporters inc have given every reason imaginable for banning Twitter from breaking laws, to supporting terrorist, to deleting of Biharis post and TAXES

Why not ban google, Facebook, YouTube and the rest for taxes, let us know we are isolated from the outside world.

That’s how one senator wanted to ban international movies, because naija movies could not compete. Left to them, no Nigerian would even know about the movie Avengers, because every movie in theaters would be Nneka the pretty serpent

Obinoscopy:
What have we achieved with the Satellite? That's the important question.

Great question.

Was it useful in tracing book haram?

Satellite are supposed to helpful in taking photographs from space, so how come book haram will appear with hilux and just vanish

I guess Twitter wasn’t bad then

Is this real?

No regard to their followers on that platform to who they disseminate the news?

Why are they showing so much fury for an app, while keeping as silent as a graveyard over the hundreds of lives lost in just the span of a few days?

They can’t even keep a straight story, the spokesman for the government on channels went from blaming Twitter for Nigerias problems, to asking how they had the audacity to delete a presidents post. Which one is it?


The funny thing is, with all the killing and drama over Twitter, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria WILL STILL NOT COME OUT TO GIVE A LIVE INTERVIEW...

What should be trending now is #BuhariLiveInterview

omoharry:
Buhari has Demential. Why would you still be expecting any thing from him.Open you eyes and know that Nigeria is being ruled by some cabals.

Definitely a possibility, in which case we should sympathize with him (cause of the illness) and work hard to expose the people ruling on his behalf.

However, if Buhari is okay mentally and physically, but still hasn’t done live media in years, then that would be pure wickedness.

baralatie:
Which pressure?

Just reminding the world that we have a president that never ever interacts with the public via live press might be a good start.

baralatie:
One blame the sai baba chanters! They literally just didn't pursue the need for the president to interact with the populace

Two: blame the poor relationship between press,presidential statements and mischief makers.under Jonathan mischief makers and the spoke men of apc made it a national norm to make jest,ridicule and twist everything the president said.So now the president is buhari he has a shirt temper with mischief makers

Three: mama.how do you expect the president to speak on national issues when it is on record what he has said on national issues before becoming president

Four:his style of leadership is not the same as others.he prefers delegatory form of leadership and feedback
Fifth: what were you expecting

There is literally no tenable excuse, non whatsoever bro!

Something is wrong somewhere. We need to apply pressure

So sad men

Anyway, you can brag that you can tweet using vpn and other methods that can bypass vpn, good for you but Twitter influencers cant earn while brands cant use or advertise on Twitter.

Twitter make money from advertising.

Imagine, government block your debit cards from working on Twitter. That means brands won't be able to advertise on Twitter thus making Twitter lose revenue.

Twitter and Twitter influencers will close shop in 1 month.

Nigeria government have many ways to destroy Twitter.

Blocking Twitter and vpn is just one way, Twitter are losing some revenue with this ban, if government stops bank debit cards from working on Twitter, they will run away and block you from tweeting.

So who wins again? NIGERIA

Look at how this guy is so happy that Nigerians that found a livelihood on Twitter will lose it.

Na wa for you.

He said Twitter influencers will close shop in one month.

So how does that help the Nigerian unemployment rate?

Chai

Still no Buhari live media interview with so many deaths over the past few days

ogododo:
Number of death never reach to wake him up from his slumber.

I saw an infographic on number of deaths this year running into the thousands

Something is definitely wrong somewhere that a president will never the people live

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Na because him dey for inside em inner sanctum dey watch BF!

Which one is BF?

It’s funny how he used Twitter to brag about banning Twitter.

Almost like one of those space-time paradoxes

Isn’t this worrisome, to have a president that you never see or hear from?

So you are telling me that if a meteorite were to hit Nigeria today, all we will get from Buhari is newspaper address via lai Muhammad?

It doesn’t make sense.

What exactly does Buhari do day to day?

and he used Twitter, lol
