Social media giant, Twitter, has deleted a controversial post by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on the Biafra war which led to the killings of many.

The tweet, which was posted on Tuesday, read in part, “Many of those misbehaving today are too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives that occurred during the Nigerian Civil War. Those of us in the fields for 30 months, who went through the war, will treat them in the language they understand.”

This statement did not go down well with many Nigerians who felt Buhari’s comments were insensitive particularly as his administration had not spoken hard on northern elements who cause trouble in the country

However, the President’s supporters, led by the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, who came to prominence through activism, defended Buhari’s tweet.


Following several complaints, Twitter eventually bowed to pressure, deleting the tweet.

A comment by Twitter stated, “This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules”.

The social media giant had earlier in the year banned then United States President, Donald Trump, for his inciting comments which led to the attack on the US Congress.

The Twitter handle should be banned indefinitely. Imagine a president inciting war with his foolish tweet.

Nice one from Jack. How can a president openly Threaten it’s citizens with genocide, and some people still believe the Lekki killings never happened.

The UN,US,UK and other western nations must be prevailed upon to immediately issue a travel ban on the terrorist.Next time he has an ear infection,he should go to afghanistan for treatment

The living dead president

This was why twitter ran to Ghana, EndSARs Jack supported and donated Bitcoin to people burning investment of other people in Lagos, now he is banning a President that threatened to speak to unknown gunmen criminals killing people in the language they understand


Honestly Buhari should have just kept quiet and withdraw all security from SouthEast, or restrict it to places with foreigners and foreign investment
