  Twitter in Nigeria is one of the strongest weapon the Nigerian youth have to fight the corrupt practices of the government and that's why they wanna ban it. Have you asked yourself why they aren't banning Facebook and Instagram?

  Twitter in Nigeria about to be shut down. Unfortunately I won't be able to bring you a lot of good news on this platform again. I hope the decision gets rescinded so we can continue on our development news . I don't like Facebook so I will just read books until the reversal.

  The establishment strikes back. Population 200 mln. Not the first case in the world, but still - the number of “government has announced an indefinite suspension of Twitter” will grow. https://www.theguardian.com/ ...

  Twitter should reciprocate by disallowing any account associated with the Nigerian government from having an account on Twitter and suspending all their current accounts https://twitter.com/...

  Nigeria is censoring Twitter so effectively, they had to tweet that Twitter is suspended. https://www.reuters.com/...

  Nigeria government thought Twitter is like Facebook they corrupted. You can't get it all sides. Twitter has conscience.

  Good reminder that while we definitely need to be talking about the power that social media platforms have to amplify or silence people, the biggest threat to free expression globally remains government censorship backed by state violence https://twitter.com/...

  I kind of expected the words in this headline to come in a different order https://www.theguardian.com/ ...

  Just so this sinks into your bald head; the Nigerian Govt doesn't really needs a Twitter account. The people need it to know what the govt is doing. There is a difference between governance & being a social media influencer. https://twitter.com/...

• @aminaado Amina Ado on x

  The govt does not need twitter. It can communicate effectively without twitter. It is twitter that needs Nigeria. Because Twitters success is tied to its number if users. https://twitter.com/...

  Below is an official Nigerian govt account using twitter to announce that it's suspending twitter in the country. Ridiculousness aside, on its face, this is ostensibly another move to suppress speech in the country. https://twitter.com/...

• @mrmacaronii DeboMacaroni on x

  Yet you used the same Twitter to announce the ban 🤦🏾‍♂ ️ There are A thousand and one problems we are facing in Nigeria and this isn't even one!!! Misplaced priorities!! Nigerian Government, stop this tyranny!! Focus on serving the people or Get Out Of Office!!! https://twitter.c…
