ityP:True. But the same way twitter is a private company, the nigerian government also has the job of government Nigeria and that job includes threat assessment meaning they can declare twitter (which is a private company) a threat and remove it. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Hard to actually realize this article was posted by an Igbo lady. Kudos to standing up for the truth. A company of less than 1000 people has no right to undermine the government of more than 180 million people. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Newton85:No. Obama's administration never liked Jonathan for many reasons. Which was the US blocked several arms deals and Nigeria under Jonathan adopted some black market deals using Oritsejafor's private to move heavy sums to buy weapons. Buhari's campaign strategists were the same people who worked as strategists under Obama. Unfounded claims suggest Obama provided them but there was denying Tinubu paid them. The pressure pushed Jonathan to hire democrat strategists but it was easier to lose at the point as the US government were clearly partisan. There are so many 2015 political journals online that detail the whole thing. 1 Like |

Racoon: Very stupid people. Same Twitter that their supporters called Jonathan a pig. Many heaped insults on the poor man. Lies and propaganda was spread by this same persons in this administration but their turn has reached and they are angry. I blame Jonathan. The dude was a pussy. If he had remembered that he is the president and given us hot hot, this mistake of a government would never had assume office. The next southern President must follow the manual of this administration; give it to us hot hot. I doubt Osinbajo can do that. Dude seems soft like Jonathan. We don't want a weakling. I would have solidly campaigned for Tinubu but that idiot is Malo man and cannot be trusted |

mcbreeze: Shut up... Stop blaming others for your problem. Did BBC tell twitter or buhari to ban each other? Did they tell IPOB to start destroying properties? That igbo novelist, is she from UK? When Kanu incite violence, did bbc tell him to do so? Face your problem and stop blaming a media house. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Sterope:Twitter has terms and conditions. The tweet of your president violates their terms and conditions. They did not ask your president not to treat his own citizens in the language they understand or threaten them with isolation and war. They just ask that it should not be done on their platform. How is that authoritarian? 2 Likes |

CSTRR:And you think Buhari is the one to review the constitution? Have you sat down to think of the fact that only one body can actually kickstart the process of a referendum and that is NASS. Guess what? The NASS members of Igbo descent have never taken such steps, never spoken about it there either. Abaribe and Ekweremadu are senior NASS members, Abaribe who doubles and Kanu's senator and surety is minority leader has done nothing. When in 2018 I said IPOB should become a political party and sponsor people to NASS, I was mocked. Keep attacking the executive which is powerless to help and eat with NASS who has all the powers 4 Likes 1 Share |

naptu2: I stopped reading somewhere up there. How can you be contradicting yourself in one small piece? You stated earlier that he violated the TC of the company and as such his tweet was deleted. In another breathe you are claiming it is an "official communication", so f''king what? He defaulted and as such, his tweet, not his account was deleted. 1 Like |

Yeah while they allowed Nnamdi's. Sounds very fair and just doesn't it? The president's tweet was insensitive at best, he shouldn't have mentioned the civil war whatsoever. However, he wasn't referring to he citizens. He was referring to the touts disrupting the peace of the nation. CSTRR: 1 Like |

Mynd44: I don't have problem with the latter. They did that and as a sovereign state, they are in their rights. Same thing I said. If a sovereign state feels the terms and conditions of Twitter is harsh, they can boycott Twitter. Saying Twitter had no right to delete the president's tweet is being very foolish. They had every right and like I said, they would do it again |

Ournolly:Who told you such tweets have not been reported? Twitter has refused to take actions on them. Before the suspension, a lot of Kanu's tweets were reported. Twitter replied saying the tweets wearing against their rules. Note that twitter itself replied people After the suspension, twitter removed the tweets. During endsars, numerous handles encourahed burning properties and looting, twitter ignored, looked away and you think ay sane government will ignore? 3 Likes |
