rottennaija: Don't mind the dumb Consul General. Wetin concern am with our rights? Twitter is just like any other business. It is within the powers of the FG to suspend or even send Twitter or any other firm packing, just the same way Twitter relied on its power to delete the President's post. 1 Like |

Madame may be over stepping her job description and responsibilities. "What does the US Consulate General do? Consulates provide passport, birth registration and many others services for visiting or resident American citizens in a country. They also have consular sections which issue visas for foreign citizens to visit, study and work in the United States." |

abbey621: I cant make sense to you as you are brainwashed by the western media and are a mental slave. you clearly dont understand what the scandanavian president what saying, According to American rules, values and etiquette, twitter may deem it fit to delete trump's post but it is not for them to tell other countries what is appropriate in other countries. As an example, using the word Nigger is hate speech in the west, it isnt here in Nigeria. I dont have time to respond to you at length but Autocratic is exactly what Twitter is. You need to removes the shackles of enslavement from your mind and have some dignity. Besides there was an agenda against Trump. I dont like Buhai but FORK Twitter for deleting the post of the President of my country and they should stay banned for all I care. Who the Bleep do they think they are? Some will say it's their platform they can do what they want, thats true but it's also our country and we can do what we want!!! 3 Likes |

perambulator: LMAO....Another ridiculous writeup, dude stop embarrassing yourself! The sooner you realize Twitter is not your father's property, the earlier you'll stop crying and return to your senses. Don't use our platform to promote hate, violence or abuse......What don't you understand about this? Even Nairaland has its rules and people are banned for going against it, so why having a meltdown over Twitter rules? Let me guess, it's not slavery if it is one of your own right? GTFO! |

abbey621: is it not the same shameless Nigerian spirit with no self respect, dignity, pride or shame that imports everything and produces nothing, that rejects its own but embraces everything foreign that makes them to keep running to USA,UK, EU whenever they have problems as if they are their fathers. Airlines are banned all the time does that mean you cannot travel? Air peace is banned from the Canada, does that mean you cant travel to the Canada. Nigerian flights are banned from the UAE does that mean a Nigerian cant travel to the UAE? does that mean right to free movement has been violated? Twitter is a platform is it the only playform? it is a different this if it were a news organisation, then you could say Nigeria is stiflling the press but twitter themselves along with facebook are the ones that will tell you they are not a news organisation and are not responsible for what is posted on their platforms..so whats the wahala? You cant eat your cake and have it. Like I said I am no fan of Buhari but dont disrespect the office of the president of my country, by doing so you disrespect me and every Nigerian!!! Bleep Twitter and all their woke leftist liberal bastards trying to shape the world in their image!!! Nigerians should try and engage their brains every now and again!! 1 Like |

perambulator: You keep repeating the same dumb sh*t! It is not about the act itself but the precedence. Today it is Twitter, tomorrow it is Facebook. If you do not see how this does not align with the core principle of democracy then it is hopeless and you're better off arguing with your keyboard. For f*cks sake, the last line of your comment is utter nonsense and you know it! Twitter would not suspend your president in the first place if the citizens did not report him, they would not even blink an eye at Twitter ban by the govt if Nigerians did not constantly message Jack, the USA and the UN. So for you to sit there and type this sh*t is pure comedy and deserving of serious flogging but I have better things to do, don't bother replying, you're now persona non grata, enough of this tomfoolery.....PEACE! |

abbey621: What the guy said is exactly what you are trying to say. Don't want me on your platform? Fine, get the Bleep out of my country! It's a clear case of tyranny being replied with tyranny. Besides, threatening terrorists is something that every president and law enforcement officers do, and no tribe or region was mentioned. |

perambulator: Don't mind them. Where was human rights when Tiktok was banned from America? This is a clear example of these white men trying to show their supremacy above Africans but unfortunately, we have many idiots that are too blinded by hatred to understand that the whole country is being insulted. I hope Twitter remains banned forever. You can't complain about freedom of speech while violating that of a whole president of a sovereign nation especially when the post in question didn't violate any rules. Not even once was 'Igbo' or even 'Ipob' mentioned. 2 Likes |

FoolishBoy419: I don't think you fully grasp the problem here, imagine every social media platform design one set of rules for normal citizens and another set of rules for celebrities/ government officials etc, how would you feel? There's no case of tyranny here when it comes to Twitter, if you went on twitter and directed hate or violence towards anyone you run the risk of being banned, the more popular you are the more the scrutiny because one word or sentence could start war. Twitter simply stated their platform does not encourage hate, violence or abuse towards ANYONE! If a celeb/governemnt official feels too big or important to conform to their rules then bye bye to jati jati.......The unfortunate thing here is that your government decided to use you and other Nigerians as Twitter's punishment. In a sane world, this would be the bigger issue but in a zoo like 9ja, we have folks like you and the other sule defending your government's action.....Your last sentence really exposes you, I suggest you don't repeat it among intellectuals or the developed world because Nigeria has yet to officially label Igbos as terrorists ![]() ![]() |

abbey621: They don't condone threats to anyone right? Very good. Then why did they allow Namdi Kanu's numerous threats to stand? (And only acted after Nigeria's sanction) Why did they allow Trump threats against North Koreans to stand? They only went against him when he started saying things that their ears didn't want. Likew They did what they had the power to do and the government also did what it has the power to do. Why then are you crying? Twitter claims to value freedom of speech but asking a single question about the Holocaust or talking about American atrocities in the middle east can get you banned. They are just tyrants who run to hide behind human rights when faced with superior tyranny. |

FoolishBoy419: Show me the official Twitter account of Nnamdi Kanu and the tweets showing he threatened anyone. Same goes for Trump, anytime Trump had said something remotely close to violence, the tweets were either deleted or his account shadow banned. No system is perfect and you're still missing how Twitter works. People are banned most of the time because their tweet was reported, so rather than being angry at Twitter, ask yourself what could make people so angry about Buhari's tweet? Remove the cobweb from your eyes and perhaps you'll see more clearly. |
Re: United States: Twitter's Suspension In Nigeria Is A Violation Of Human Rights by FoolishBoy419: 3:13pm On Aug 08, 2021 |
abbey621: Nothing happened to his account after this tweet and no, Tweets aren't only deleted when reported. That applies to average users like you and I but for someone as high profile and verified as Donald Trump, a report isn't necessary. In the case of Namdi Kanu, many people reported him but no action was taken until after their asses were banned. I also remember many of us reporting DJSwitch for peddling false information but nothing was done and no 72 bodies were found! Even as EndSars was degenerating into chaos, looting and jail breakouts, twitter maintained its support but they took an EXACTLY opposite action when the capitol was attacked. Isn't that hypocrisy? Nigeria can burn but US shouldn't? Their action is a typical example of tyranny. It's the best thing this failed government has done in many years.
