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

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

When it favors you, you will start following white people, then later you will open another thread how white people are the cause of all problems in Nigeria.

Do you think the people supporting the Twitter ban you quoted know the genesis of the situation in Nigeria? Do you think they did any form of research?

What do your likes even want sef, for all of social media to get shit down? I hope you know that nairaland is also social media.

Ekpeitit:
If you're ashamed of being a Nigerian then you're not a Nigerian and your passport should be revoked. You don't go around talking shit about your country and expect to be respected.
People from your tribe contribute nothing to the economy of this country and we can't wait for you to create your so called Biafra with your 5 Igbo states.
It's time for you to leave Nigeria.
You are useless to this country,all you talk about is war and crime.

Please revoke my passport and give me US passport

I have not seen a street in Lagos that does not have beggars especially child beggars.

I pray we all find a good means of livelihood, but I wonder if this has now become a norm in Nigeria.

Once you go out, and are stuck in traffic, a massive amount of kids come out and start begging.

I believe we need to control our population men, and I’m not saying this in some sort of sinister way, I mean by family planning.

May God grant each an everyone of us a means to make a decent living, Amen!

blazepascal:
Both PDP and APC are failed parties. Its time we vote another party. let's see if there can be a change .aren't you guys tired of this madness.

They are not it seems

HarrisAWalcott:
Twitter has no right to interfere in the politics of another nation. They step over the line attacking the Nigerian President by deleting his posts.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb1Mh741Z1Q


You don't get to run another man's house.

How did Twitter interfere with Nigerias politics?

If you said yankee politics, I might understand, but how did they interfere with naija politics?

btw, why are you going to YouTube? Is that not a foreign site too?

So you go to YouTube to find information and bring here, just to tell the rest of us not to go to foreign sites ba

Like people did not already know?

People mostly voted for this man to spite other tribes.

They even said if it’s Nepa certificate he has they will vote him, if he is seen robbing cbn, they will vote him...

It was more about hate than anything else.

Even now, people are saying Tinubu is the best Yorubas can offer in 2023. Do you think the people saying that don’t know that he is corrupt. Do you think they did not see the pictures of bullion vans at his house the day before election?

When you go online and see what smart Yoruba guys are doing ehn, especially in tech, then you will now wonder why someone will point at at Tinubu as the best.

I think it’s mostly about spite men, It’s like the crabs in the barrel theory

I even opened a thread about this a while back

https://www.nairaland.com/6408247/when-buharis-last-live-media

It is beyond odd that a president never addresses his people

It’s always a wonder reading comments from people who say Nigeria is indivisible and must remain one.

On hearing/reading these comments, a person that isn’t familiar with the history of Nigeria might think Nigeria was formed through blood and sweat of its people and not through conquest by the British.

The British came in and conquered the space now known as Nigeria, eventually almagamating the northern and southern parts of this country.

So why do the same blacks who were conquered fight with all their might to REMAIN CONQUERED?

Why do some Nigerians fight to still have the chains around them, calling the creation of conquerors “indivisible”?

Reasonable blacks are trying to forge a new path forward, one of their own creation, yet those that claim to hate the white people and blame them for all black peoples problems will be the first to stifle any initiative to break away from a country created by the so called white monsters. You can’t eat your cake and have it too.

You can’t with one breath chide white people and in another breath claim Nigeria is indivisible. That will be a highly unintelligent position to take.

Why are you afraid of freedom?

Why are you afraid to chart your own course?

StaffofOrayan:
Never seen a people so cold hearted!
They don't even pretend to care anymore,
Look at that mockery of a protest by so called Northern women, the placard read 'stop killing northerners'!!! Even the damn protest was a paid political/tribal manipulation,

Very unfortunate men.

If we were to tally the amount of souls lost to terrorist in this country, I wonder what the total would be.

May the souls of the departed rest In Peace

Twitter Desperate To Appease Abuja, As Buhari Ban Bites

Twitter staff desperately searching for Nnamdi Kanu's posts to delete.

Twitter has gone ALL OUT to make amends with Abuja, over the recent standoff between the US social media giant and the Nigerian Presidency, led by His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR.

Only yesterday they expressed their ''deep concern'' over the ban placed on them by Africa's biggest economy and largest internet ecosystem.

Then yesterday they followed that up with desperate attempts to remove all threatening and offensive posts by Biafran secessionist warlord, Nnamdi Kanu, from their platform.

As if this was not enough, Twitter went on to REMOVE its longstanding 'Support EndSars'' badge on its moniker.

All this fence mending within barely 24 hours of The Nigerian govt announcing the ban of the popular US platform.

This case highlights the validity of the ONE NIGERIA proposition.

The power of this country will be dissipated if it breaks up into these little tribal republics of your small-minded, visionless dreams.

No other African or black nation would be left to stand up to these ...foreigners.

We'd all become Sierra Leone replicas. Ignored and bullied by the rest of the world.

God forbid the breakup of this African Colossus.

You really are disgusting men!

Unity begger.

The same whites you hate created this country, now blacks say they want to dissolve white mans creation and you are here upholding the same creation.

You lots are so confused it hurts.

What is wrong with having tiny prosperous countries as opposed to one big country with zero unity?

You are the type of person that will look to harm those who no longer want to have a relationship with you. Is it by force?


Let me say it one more time so you understand just how dumb you sound. The same white people you hate are the ones that created Nigeria and by upholding this false union, threatening your brothers with war, how are you different from the conquerors of the past?

Use your brain

StaffofOrayan:
Over 80 people were massacred in the North, Infact the blood has not dried but none of you give a damn!
Infact you all avoided the thread, and have been opening different threads on this meaningless topic, even if you are paid for this don't you guys have any humanity left?

As in...

No comments from the presidency yet, and their minions are going round bashing Twitter just because of one deleted post.

You are so confused.

White man came and arbitrarily drew maps for Africans with guns, yet, you same black African will still uphold what the British created, while cursing whites in the process.

Abi is it black man that created this country?

Then why are you and your likes ready to kill your fellow blacks to uphold a white man creation?
