Outraged Nigerian Youths Drag Government Out On Twitter Ban

He said the federal government had also directed the National Broadcasting Commission to immediately commence the process of licensing all OTT and social media operations in Nigeria.However, another social media platform, Facebook, has also removed the controversial statement posted via President Muhammadu Buhari’s official page.

“In any case, this is a technical problem Nigerians should be able to work their way around. The field of free expression remains wide open, free of any dictatorial spasms!”Similarly, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party has rejected the suspension of the social media platform, Twitter, by the federal government, describing it as a draconian action and a slide towards a fascist regime in the country.

“Our party is appalled that the federal government could exhibit such primitive intolerance and power intoxication because the social media giant demonstrated international best practices in not allowing the Buhari presidency to use Twitter as a platform to propagate and spread the Buhari administration’s hatred towards Nigerians.”

The PDP spokesman asserted that the Buhari Presidency and the All Progressives Congress administration were only afraid of Nigerians on Twitter because of their evil machinations for which they dread the Nigerian youths. “After all, it was the same Twitter that provided President Buhari and the APC the platform to campaign in 2015 and 2019. Our party invites President Buhari to halt this international shame by rescinding this ugly decision,” the party added.On his part, former vice president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, in a terse reaction on twitter, said, “Hopefully, this isn’t my last tweet. #smile”

Speaking exclusively with LEADERSHIP yesterday in Abuja, NYCN president, Solomon Adodo, said jobs will be lost in the informal sector, adding that even government’s social media handlers could lose their jobs. ‘’If the steps Twitter took is wrong, it behooves on the president and his media handlers to address it officially. The banning of Twitter’s operation is not good for us and we will be clear on that.

The tweet reads: ‘’We’re suing Nigerian authorities over their illegal indefinite suspension of Twitter in Nigeria. In an email response to TheCable’s enquiry, Hart said: “The announcement made by the Nigerian government that they have suspended Twitter’s operations in Nigeria is deeply concerning. We’re investigating and will provide updates when we know more.”Stakeholders in the Information Technology sector and policy analysts have reacted to the federal government’s suspension of Twitter yesterday in varied ways, with some casting doubt about the possibility of a successful implementation of the policy.

What is wrong with being in the league of those countries? The security of lives and properties of Nigerians is far more important than allowing Nigerians to be on tweeter to self destruct themselves.

how come you are on Twitter? Isnt it suspended as you claimed?

No right thinking leader would allows a foreign company undermine the security of his country . Twitter allows a terrorist like KANU free access and spread his hate messages without reprimands but the President's message of caution was deleted !

One BIG lesson the IPOB lock down of the South East taught is that ONLY the South East is capable of the discipline needed to create and build a strong Nation successfully in Nigeria. They should reduce emphasis in Non- Willing/Resistant/Reluctant Sates at this stage.

This is absolutely nonsense.
