Twitter rejected Nigerian government’s demand that Nnamdi Kanu’s account be blocked – Lai Mohammed— 2mins read

MICROBLOGGING platform Twitter rejected the Nigerian government’s demand that the account of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu be blocked, Minister of Information and Culture Lai Mohammed disclosed on Tuesday.

Mohammed stated this when he featured on ‘Politics Nationwide,’ a Radio Nigeria call-in programme in Abuja, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

The minister insisted that Twitter was suspended in Nigeria because the platform was being used to promote the views of those who wanted to destabilise the country.


Mohammed said that it was unfair to conclude that Twitter was suspended because it deleted a tweet posted by President Muhammadu Buhari.


Twitter has become a platform of choice for a particular separatist promoter,” he said.

“The promoter consistently used the platform to direct his loyalists to kill Nigerian soldiers and policemen, run-down INEC offices and destroy all symbols of Nigeria’s sovereignty.

“Every attempt to persuade Twitter to deny its platform to this separatist leader was not taken serious.”

The minister added that the Nigerian government had no apology to offer to those who were unhappy with the suspension of Twitter’s operations in the country.

He argued that a country must exist in peace before citizens could exercise freedom of speech.

Speaking further, Mohammed blamed the violence and destruction of property recorded in parts of the country during the #EndSARS protests on Twitter and its founder, Jack Dorsey.

He alleged that Dorsey raised funds through bitcoins to sponsor the #EndSARS protest while his platform, Twitter, was used to fuel the crisis.

Mohammed quoted an unnamed online medium which he alleged indicted Dorsey for his role in the protest through its investigations and independent fact-checking.

The minister said the online publication confirmed that Dorsey retweeted posts made by some members of the coalition that supported the #EndSARS protest.

He said it was also confirmed that the Twitter founder launched a fundraising campaign for the protesters and asked people to donate through bitcoins.

The minister said Dorsey further launched an Emoji to make the #EndSARS protest visible on the microblogging site.

He further alleged that Dorsey retweeted the tweets of some foreign and local supporters of #EndSARS.

“If you ask people to donate money via bitcoins for #EndSARS protesters then you are vicariously liable for whatever is the outcome of the protest.

“We have forgotten that #EndSARS led to the loss of lives, including 37 policemen, six soldiers, 57 civilians while property worth billions of naira were destroyed.

“One hundred and sixty-four police vehicles and 134 police stations were razed to the ground, 265 private corporate organisations were looted while 243 public property were looted.

“Eighty-one warehouses were looted while over 200 brand new buses bought by Lagos State Government were burnt to ashes,’’ the minister added.

This is true, especially the mainourished IPOD terorists .

Very useless and disgusting Humansdorp.

My hatred for IPOD can cause me heart attack. Its too heavy

You are zombified confam

If Tinubu face small of the thing IPOB don face, him go don kpeme

I hate to burst your bubble, Tinubu's ascension to the post of the presidency is between him and himself!

He can't even campaign without blaming the Igbos for his failures

While Tinubu might be better than Buhari, he(Tinubu) has nothing to offer, that's the truth!

Or have you heard him speak objectively on what he intend to do if voted in

I doubt anyone will even believe him

So if you won get heart attack, it's the reality starring at you that your heart couldn't take!!!

to think that it's the 5%ters aka the dots that's giving you and your Tinubu a sleepless night to the extent that you want to take your life

Funny, isn't it

The Coalition of Northern Groups, CNG has stated that only a referendum on Biafra for the Igbos will guarantee a peaceful existence for Nigeria.

“All Igbo must leave the territory of Nigeria and assemble in their designated enclave for the purpose of the referendum during which period no further contacts should be experienced between them and the rest of Nigeria so as not to lead to any interference in the process.”

The group also stated that the Federal government will not interfere in any part of the referendum.

Is this group now the spokesperson for the president Or the HoRs

Are you the ones to grant them freedom

Crowwe:

vasel15:
you dont want fulani herdsmen to go i hate hypocrites,fulanis have told you they value cows more than humans and you are there speaking english

vasel15:
Before you remove my head I am Igbo but I won't be a hypocrite and we must make sacrifices to achieve our goal and I wrote here I am a realist and I say it the way it is,

if Yorubas don't want the Fulanis then they should boycott cow meat that is the way it is done,

and Igbos If you don't want Fulanis boycott cow meat and you would see the Fulani issue fade away a bit because you say you don't want Fulanis but you eat cow meat and then buy cows from them

The South have sacrificed enough!

When will Buhari resign as the minister of oyei Make they themselves stop benefiting from oyei!

They run pipe from South to North, who suppose to dey kill self

Make we start from there! Make I no mention gold for North wey them no share with anybody!

I buy meat! Meat no be free! Even if it's free, it's not worth taking human life!!!

Dear major general Buhari, do you now know who the real terrorists are

An "entrepreneur" commanding an elected governor

OluwaGoverment:
“I have painstakingly looked at the laws of the Federation of Nigeria and I did not see a copy of any law that is called federal grazing law, or grazing Act or any other title relating to the issue.

“I am aware that there is a northern Nigerian law on reserve and grazing routes which was promulgated by a 1964 decree by the premier of the defunct northern Nigeria region.

“It is not a federal law unless the legal adviser to Mr President is equating a northern Nigeria law, which is not applicable in the West, Mid-West, and Eastern region or in anywhere in the southern part of Nigeria, to be a federal or a Nigerian law.

“The President does not have the power to implement that law because it is not a federal law.

No just the nose cover. Watch his reaction each time she makes moves to get a warm peck or kiss. He will be pointing in one direction or the other. Obviously, he married for money.

cloth black, cake black...

turned himself to Pontius Pilates, pointing at everything to avoid the inevitable

He was even trying to cover his face

He enslaved himself for money

Good for him, his choice
