Dem no dey tell blind man say rain dey fall.

Twitter has studied Buhari's body language, the ban will not be lifted until further notice.

Buhari has stated it in clear terms, " I keep Twitter ban to myself".

But I thought tiny dot moving in circle can access Twitter using VPN, so what's the fuse about?

Twitter have no choice than to bend to Nigeria law...

They just dont have that choice

FG showing power.

Twitter has got no choice but to bend to the rules.

Out of all the problems nah Twitter!?

It doesn't take much to be a dunce.

Lai don dey talk true small small
I said it that day that Lai was lying and it was obvious why. Anyone who watched the video would notice from his body language how uncomfortable he was while answering that question.
He knew it would look really bad if he said Twitter had not reached out to them five days after the ban. It would imply the ban was ineffective.
Now see silly excuse. A foreign mission. Is a foreign mission an official representative of Twitter?
Yeye dey stink badly

Franzinni:

they should leave twitter cos there are other problems too?

Which rule? Oga it's eight days and Twitter is yet to reach out to Nigeria. It's almost as if they are unaware of the ban

Most of you are illiterates. Being political shouldn't take away one's sense of reasoning.
What law has Twitter broken?
Did Twitter force Buhari to download Twitter App?
What does an analogue Buhari knows about Tech?

the same way you people have been treating ASUU, nma, and other unions

Twitter is cowering.

I am waiting for those monkeys that will come and blame Tinubu for this.

Whites have invented most of all we use:

Telephone, Fax Machine, Internet, Computer, Vessels, Spaceships, Programming languages, Turing Machine, Difference Engine, ICs, Calculator, Electroscope, Gas turbines, Combustion engines, Transformers, Robots, Compression ignition, Printers, Light bulb, Aircraft etc.

The zoo does not produce toothpick. And they are not ashamed. They are forming boss by banning twitter: another invention of a white man.

Arab Fulani from Edom, you people should leave us alone. We want to be able to start our own race of innovation. Agreed, we are lightyears behind but at least we want to be known for building a few things.

Pls leave Oduduwa to go and my Biafra brothers as well. We want progress; not idiots forming boss because they're banning twitter and later downloading VPN at night to make announcements on the same twitter.

*THE NORTH AND RESTRUCTURING*

This is The most interesting PIECE I have read on The Nigerian Social Media on Restructuring. It is Copied from "IKOYI CLUB BUDDIES FORUM" Posted by Deji Ibeh, a Lawyer.

*Restructuring: The North, The South And Nigeria’s Future.*

CLEM AGUIYI July 7, 2020.

Give it to the North, they get what they want at every turn while the South do the talking. Most radical ideas that had shaped Nigeria’s political landscape often originated from the South only to be perfected to advantage by the North.

For instance, while the South championed the struggle for independence, the North acted like she wasn’t ready and would rather remain under British domination. But from when the British lowered the Union Jack, it was the North that had dominated the South and still do.

Another is the idea of military coup. It was actually Southern officers that executed Nigeria’s first military coup before the North perfected the art of coup plotting and used it to entrench Northern domination.

Almost all successful coups in Nigeria were hatched and executed by Northern officers from 1966 to date. Again, Nigeria started well on federalism until some group of Southerners introduce unitary government.

The North shouted ‘Araba’ the Hausa translation for ‘separation’ and insisted on true federalism. But as soon as it seized power in the counter coup of 1966, it jettisoned true federalism and perfected unitarianism to her advantage.

Today, it is the South who destroyed federalism that is shouting true federalism. Take again the question of constitutional democracy. This is a concept alien to both Islam and the oligarchy.

While the South talks plenty of democracy, the North which only reluctantly embraced democracy perfected the act of shaping democracy to its own advantage. Because the North understands that democracy is a game of numbers they made sure they have the numbers and a population they can easily manipulate and control.

They control their population with illiteracy and religion and make no apology for it. One can go on and on to list how the North beat the South at all times in its game.

Whether as a friend or a foe you must understand your opponent so as to engage properly. The inability of the South to read the North is one of her biggest albatrosses. Fast track to the current issue of restructuring, another idea currently advanced by the South as a remedy to save Nigeria from disintegration.

The Southern proponents of restructuring believe that Nigeria is not functioning properly because the centre is saddled with too many responsibilities and powers. Restructuring means devolving more powers to the states.

Despite the clarity of this concept, somehow the North pretends it does not understand what restructuring is all about. To get the South busy with talking, they pretend that restructuring will put her at a disadvantage or to say the least that it is an agenda to dismember Nigeria. For these reasons, many Southerners have wrongly convinced themselves that the North will never give in to restructuring whereas the North in actual fact is getting ready for restructuring and once again intends to perfect it to their advantage.

The import of this article is to warn the South to get ready and prepare for restructuring. The British who merged the North and South together has not abandoned the reason for the merger.

They remain very sympathetic to the North hence western leaders like Gordon Brown, Tony Blair and John Kerry had at various times tutored the Northern leaders on how to reorganize the region for a post oil economy.

Between 2015 and 2016, the US Institute for Peace had held series of strategy sessions strictly for Northern leaders on how best to prepare and re-energize the region for a post oil economy.

The sessions agreed that restructuring is inevitable without which even the North will not survive.

The sessions harped on what the vulnerabilities of the northern region would be when restructuring occurs and more importantly how to ensure that such vulnerabilities are dealt with well before restructuring. One major vulnerability is the fact that the North is landlocked hence they were advised that the region would need alternative international trade access routes that do not depend on the South.

This explains why President Buhari commenced building the ongoing high-speed railway lines designed to connect with the Niger Republic’s supply and logistics systems.

They were also advised that they needed to be independent of the South for petroleum products hence they went ahead with the project of building a completely new modern refinery in Daura, Katsina State.

The Daura refinery is purposely built to refine crude oil coming in from Niger Republic. The choice of Daura as a location is to reduce the cost of pipelines, as piping to the Kaduna refinery would have been very expensive. Daura shares a common border with Niger Republic.

Another major vulnerability is the fact that a significant proportion of Nigeria’s power generation and infrastructure is located in the South. It was suggested that the North would need to rebalance power generation, if it was to industrialize.

It is therefore not surprising that contracts have been awarded to pipe gas from the South to pass through Ajaokuta to Abuja, Kaduna, and Kano (AKK) where three thermal stations will be built in each of the three cities with capacity to generate 4,500MW of electricity.

While at the face value this project may appear good for Nigeria which can now export excess electricity to other African countries, the main objective however is to make the North electricity sufficient, and under restructuring will make the South to pay charges for passing power from  any of the thermal stations.

The North is also investing heavily in agriculture with a view to be in a position to not just feed her population but to export food to the South and other African countries. Only the South can solve its problem with regards to food. A lot can be learnt from Israel if it must readdress the food imbalance.

To boost agriculture, President Buhari did what no other government in Nigeria has been able to do.

He closed the land borders, and presented farmers with a great windfall. Massive incentives were provided to motivate Northern farmers. Northern farmers, who work through cooperatives, were provided with machinery and low interest loans through the CBN and the Bank of Agriculture to help stabilize the level of growth in agriculture.

I have taken time to reel out these few examples to debunk the laughable notion held by the South that the North will not give in to structuring. That is far from the truth. The North understands restructuring perfectly well and their vulnerabilities in case of restructuring.

The North is light years ahead of the South in their proactive preparations. I support restructuring for the singular reason that it will make Nigeria better than its current form. It will bring government closer to the people, enhance development and ensure efficient and effective governance.

Rather than being emotional and wasting valuable time on empty rhetoric, the best legacy Southern leaders can leave behind is to put on their thinking caps and get to work. They must use the opportunity of the current time to map out strategies that will rave and drive the economic and social development of the South post oil revenue.

The youth who are the future of tomorrow must understand that the future they symbolize and represent is now.

The only practical way they can be part of that future is to hold her elected political leaders accountable by making every single one of them and their families uncomfortable until the right things are done.
