Nigeria committed genocide by trying to wipe out Igbo race by killing millions of Igbo women and children in 3 years.

Instead of owning up to the heinous crime, the same culprit wants to repeat this same evil while the world watches.

Many countries are trying to make amend for their involvements in wars of attrition and bitterness against others.

Buhari is evil
Buhari is a confirmed terrorist.

You must be a mallam.
Twitter have their guidelines. Their terms and conditions are there. Click accept and use Twitter if you think you can comply with it or keep off. Not after breaking their rules and getting banned, you begin to wail that you're a president. Twitter doesn't treat anyone specially, be he a celebrity or president. Never treated trump and will never treat buhary differently

Check again your leader Twit have been ban too. It is coming to late as a damage control from the Twitter

Though I agreed that this government was stupid by banning Twitter from Nigeria but the difficulties citizens are going through since this morning trying to log in to Twitter is one of the reasons I argued when Donald Trump had similar experience from Twitter that it Is dangerous to allow one man(Jack Dorsey) to be an arbiter of truth by telling users what is wrong or right.

It defeats the whole essence of free speech and can never be right.

Buhari’s tweet which started the whole fight was dangerous but it is not the job of social media companies to arbitrate and then tell what is wrong or right.

By doing that, they are taking sides and we are making the social media companies too powerful without accountability to anybody.

I wrote this when Trump was banned by Twitter. My position was not formed because I like Donald Trump.

No sir! My position was largely influenced by the fact that we are arrogating to Twitter too much power which is too dangerous.

At the moment, India government is fighting with Twitter and they just gave them the last chance with a condition that if they misbehave again, they will throw them out of India, exactly the same thing that Nigerian government did yesterday.

It is inevitable, governments around the world will push back as long as we continue to arrogate this power to choose what is wrong/right to Twitter and Facebook.

Allow users of your platform decide what is wrong or right.

It is not your job as a social media company to do so.

I have issues with the action taken by Buhari, it is stupid.

At the same time, when a social media platform becomes too powerful to ban a sitting president like Donald Trump from their platform.

We need to ask: who gave them that power and who made them that powerful?

It's normal. When you see offensive post on Twitter, you hit the report button the same way it's done on Nairaland. It's now left for the moderators to evaluate it and do the needful without fear or favor.

Overheating the polity because Buhari's comment with his personal account was deleted is too childish.

The Twitter Account in question is Buhari's personal account not a Nigerian Government Account like if it is @NGRPresident or government related handle.

Rissamenti:


Deluded dunce. You are probably alive today because of the kindness and mercy of Nigerians.

YOU LOST A WAR.

Get that fact into your thick skull.

Normally, there are TERRIBLE CONSEQUENCES to losing a war, none of which you were made to experience, courtesy of Nigeria's kindness.

Nigeria spared Igbo lives with Gowon's 'No Victor No Vanquished' policy, which stopped federal troops from marching in and ANNIHILATING YOUR ETHNIC GROUP after you'd surrendered and your leader had fled.

The Nigerian govt even gave your people money!

No one on Earth had ever seen a vIctor in war give money to the just defeated enemy to help them recover.

Without Nigeria's magnanimity, which shocked the entire world at the time, there would actually be no ''Igboland'' today, and your towns and cities would have been long ago renamed to Yoruba and Hausa names.

So lose that baseless arrogance founded on nothing but hot air and bombast.
