#Twitterban: Nigerian leaders do not believe in Nigeria - Punch Newspapers

Until recently, I had believed that the biggest threat to Nigeria’s corporate existence was hunger. Following the shenanigans of the past week when the regime of Major General Muhammadu Buhari banned Twitter because he got his feathers ruffled, I concluded that the trouble with Nigeria is that our leaders are a collective of anti-social elites who have zero faith in the country’s prospects. They do not expect that Nigeria can ever thrive, so they do not put effort into building up the nation.

Just like that, they yanked off Twitter without even thinking about the consequences for the thousands of young Nigerians and small-scale businesses that make their living off that platform. They did not even stop to think of what the ban might mean to Nigerians who gather on that site. They take no care for the things that matter to you as a means of survival.

Recently, 136 children were kidnapped in Niger State by gunmen. You watch the videos of their parents wailing, and your heart breaks into pieces. These people do not want you to see that because it is yet another stark reminder of their failures, so they turn Twitter into a smokescreen. Just last Thursday, 88 people were killed in Kebbi State by bandits. That should have been enough to declare a state of emergency, but, no, our enemy is Twitter.

Is obvious, they believe in what they can get.

Oju ni won'ro

Those who truly believe in Nigeria are never given the chance to show it...but the clueless and less patriotic ones are everywhere...one of life's irony
