Messi is going nowhere.
If he leaves Barcelona eventually, La Liga popularity will decline.

Another ploy to give amnesty to the northern people

Hi

Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami

The Federal Government has told a Federal High Court in Lagos that it has not stopped Nigerians from using social media platform, Twitter, adding that many Nigerians are still using it every day.

The Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, and the Federal Government said this in a counter-affidavit they deposed to in response to an originating motion filed by human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, which was obtained by The PUNCH on Thursday.

The government had on June 4, 2021, suspended Twitter barely two days after the social media platform deleted a tweet by the President, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

However, many Nigerians have bypassed the Twitter suspension by using Virtual Private Network.

Malami in a statement threatened to prosecute Nigerians still using the platform while the National Broadcasting Commission ordered all radio and television stations to stop using Twitter or picking content from the platform.

Rights lawyer, Effiong, subsequently sued the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, Malami, and the Federal Government for suspending the social media platform.

In the fundamental human rights suit marked FHC/L/CS/542/2021, Effiong is seeking nine reliefs, including an order of perpetual injunction restraining the respondents from further suspending, deactivating or banning the operation and accessibility of Twitter or any other social media service in Nigeria because the act was in violation of his rights.

Effiong asked the court to declare as illegal the threat of criminal prosecution by Malami and Lai Mohammed against Nigerians who ‘violate’ the suspension or ban of Twitter, despite the absence of any written law.

In an affidavit deposed to by Mr Ilop Lawrence on behalf of the Federal Government and the AGF, it was stated that the suspension of Twitter was not an abuse of human rights because Nigerians were still using Twitter despite the suspension.

It read in part, “The applicant (Effiong) and the class he seeks to represent can still operate those Twitter accounts from anywhere in the world and even from Nigeria. Nigerians are still tweeting, even at this moment as the ban on Twitter is not aimed at intimidating Nigerians or an infringement on the rights of Nigerians to express their opinion.

“The respondents (Federal Government and AGF) have never stopped the applicant (Effiong) and the class of persons he seeks to represent from voicing their opinions to access government information and offer criticism where necessary.”

The government told the court that Nigerians are still free to use other platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, Tiktok and others.

The Federal Government also denied knowledge of Twitter deleting Buhari’s tweet on the Biafra civil which offended many Nigerians.

It said Twitter had made its platform accessible to elements like Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra; and had supported the #EndSARS protests of October 2020 which was later hijacked by hoodlums.

The government further stated that Nigerians should direct their anger at Twitter and not the government because Twitter would not have been suspended if it complied with Nigeria’s laws.

It told the court that the Twitter suspension would be lifted once the platform registers with the NBC and the Corporate Affairs Commission. https://punchng.com/weve-not-stopped-nigerians-from-using-twitter-fg-tells-court/

We totally reject the selective administration of criminal justice by the buhari government, the Southern Nigeria governors forum protested.

Destined2win:
The South is under siege.

But unfortunately some never-do-wells from south think it's politics

Those are political sycophants and hirelings who call themselves the Buharists, they think supporting the government will pave way for their paymaster(s).

Selective administration of criminal justice as pointed out by the Southern Nigeria governors forum.

This is selective administration of criminal justice as pointed out by the Southern Nigeria governors forum.

They are brothers, they both hail from Arigidi Akoko in ondo state.

Hi

Hmmmm
This is the HAND of ESAU but the VOICE of JACOB.

VIO office,owo was built about 2 years ago and it's very deceiving to count it among the projects executed in 100 days of the second term.
Government of deceit everywhere

Kudos!!
But where are the patrol vehicles donated by the previous administrations to the police Force.

Where are the fathers?
We men should wise up, it's like the mothers take all credits of the father's wahala for the kids.

Adebayo is a long time close friend of dangote. What do you expect?

Dejo

Let's hear the commissioner's side of the story.

All the state hospitals have been functional for the past 6 weeks because of the Doctors strike and the Governor has not addressed this before embarking on leave.

Same here

Akeredolu ditched Akure people.
This is a sign of vindictiveness on the part of the Governor.
If you know you know.

You no fit kill us and we no go vacate this land for you.

They call it PLACEBO in medicine.
I suspected it's water for injection that was administered to both leaders.
Who wan die?

Our security men irrespective of their locations take orders from Abuja.
In as much as Buhari is still the president, the herdsmen will continue to perpetrate the crimes,we should not wait for the police or the Army to restrict the herdsmen, let's rise up from our slumbers and wage war against these criminals called herdsmen.

Nigerians got it wrong by reelecting Buhari during 2019 presidential election.
Buhari has now become a cankerworm(BUVID-19) that has eaten deep into the fabric of the nation's existence.
