Mchewww. I've even forgotten that Twitter is banned.

Tip: For Android users, just use the proxy option instead of VPN, that drains battery. You won't have your battery to worry about.

You can get free proxies here: https://free-proxy-list.net/#list

Biko how to you do it?

Truthissupreme:
[s]you are very foolish

If the government was so hurt about the president fragile ego that was bruised by twitter, it should also have halted communicating with them through ministers especially when Jack is further bruising that ego by using proxies to communicate[/s]

Trash. Mindless internet fiddler.

RapistOnBail:
For the unity of this country, I seriously wouldn’t mind the ban to continue

Okay let me ask, was twitter around when the civil war started?

Was twitter around when the 12 Northern States pushed for sharia law which violates many areas of the constitution?

Is Nigeria functioning as a "united" country which only exists as a colonial remnant?

smh
Do you lack critical thinking or just putting extra effort this morning?


Lemme put it in dumbest way possible for you, if you failed to get it this time, then you are on your own.

If you are selling bread in a particular street, people come to buy the bread but instead of people paying for it, the councillor in that street is paying for all the bread.
all the councillor needs from you is to tell the bread eaters whenever they buy that they should vote for him in next election.

Now imagine if you have to provide that bread for free but without the councillor paying you to say anything.


Now replace (you) with twitter
(bread with services)
And councilor with advertisers.


Twitter is using its money to build data centres to accommodate users from Nigeria and to hosts it's servers.
Building data centre to accommodate just 1million people alone just so you can post your dumb meme on twitter runs into thousands of dollars if not millions..

Twitter is not charging you for those services but advertisers. Now the advertisers are not paying while they still render the service for free..

What do you think it's going on here? Are they making money or losing money?

And I will ask you a simple question which you failed to answer last time since we are talking about twitter and not bread.

How much is twitter making from Nigeria?

Now if you can find the figure compare it to what Nigerian companies and small businesses losing from the decreased audience.

Twitter is banned in China yet Chinese companies still operate twitter accounts because they need the audience.

I am quite impressed by the lengths you are going to defend the government trampling on public discourse.

Well done.

Never underestimate the govt of any nation.

I marvel at the level you are willing to go to appear dumb.

1, How many users are from China to put pressure on Twitter's infrastructure?
You think if twitter has many users in china, they wouldn't have found a way to allow Chinese government allow them to operate like apple? Even if it means submitting Chinese data to the government like the government demanded.

2, if you are dumb enough not to know to how use Google to ask simple question, why would I waste my precious time to feed you every fact?

3, even if twitter is only making 1 naira from Nigeria and it's not very significant to their pool of cash, and they stopped making the 1 naira, is it a profit for them or loss? So why you keep asking irrelevant question not related to the post?

4, how does saying fact mean you are defending the government? Perhaps you should go through my post and see I don't even like Buhari or his government.

But not everyone will let hate cloud his sense of reasoning like most of you ediots that post on nairaland.

1. China has over a billion people with access to computers yet they still did not give in to their demands.

Comparing Apple to twitter is ridiculous, one sells products, the other sells services, services that the Chinese government wants to control to maintain power over it's people. You are clearly just saying anything at this point to defend nonsense.

2. You are making a claim yet have not provided any evidence to back the claim, just stories about bread and meaningless analogies.

3. How much are they making you can not answer, we know this ban is affecting Nigerians but people who support it claim twitter is worse off yet have not shown a single piece evidence for it.

4. You don't even have a single post about Buhari, who are you trying to fool?

Use your main account and post it not another one you made to disguise.

The statement comes a day after the controversial ban hit 100 days, with rights activists expressing fears that the regime was not in a hurry to rescind its action.

Las las, na Twitter lose pass.

This is what gullible mind fails to understand. A foreign private company cannot take a government headon in its Soverign terrain. That's a lost cause from the get to go. All the western media and government that showed initial support to twitter have beaten a retreat and had to deal with Twitter problems even in their own terrain.

belente:
Ok till when?. The ban on Twitter by Nigerian government is more than a month now. Government should come down from its high horse and unban it immediately because a lot of hard working Nigerians get their source of livelihood from twitter.

Govt wants to make money on twitter through appropriate taxes. Don't you think government's interest here will be vigorously pursued?

calculator123:


You know nothing. Twitter made profit despite the ban, Nigerians that survive on Twitter inclusive of Influencers, artiste, entrepreneur and even the NCDC lost money.

So who lost?

NCDC lost money?

You whip up cartoon-imagination in your head and put it out as facts?

Evolution3x:
nope twitter will not shut down but they won't be making money from Nigeria either. I thought the post is clear enough?
How does that even relate?


People who couldn't have their issues resolved on twitter moved to Facebook.
Another loss for twitter.

I, personally used to complain on twitter whenever I have problem with banks or telecom operators and their response is usually kinda slow and one dimensional but I realised it's faster on Facebook as I chat with them directly instead of waiting for response like twitter.
I hate Facebook but thats one reason I'm still keeping it around.

And why would banking service stop? I said banks and and cooperation usually pay twitter to have bigger tweet reach. How is that related to operation of the bank?

My point was directed at small retailers, that used timelines for product/service awareness........

They had relied on that medium, made money from that medium.......

All of a sudden..... STOP.......

Lexusgs430:


Are you thinking without ad revenue from Nigeria, twitter would shut down? NO

So the Nigerian populace suffers more....... Do you know how majority of banking issues are resolved, via twitter.........

Banking services did not stop, customers did not stop banking...... So the general populace suffers......

Bros,

There is no banking issues resolved via twitter that cannot be resolved via other means..... or has their been report myriads of unresolved banking issues as a result of twitter ban?

In this issue, twitter might hold their ground, but it is not costing the Nigerian government any sleepless night. It is the people whipping up sentiments making the cry. The newspaper publication did not emanate from twitter nor Nigerian governmen, but journalists bringing the "alleged" clamour of people to light...

Jack still use spokesman to address the issue

While a federal minister is the one dealing on behalf of a nation with spokesman of a private firm


Says alot about who is on the receiving end

No, stop being ridiculous and stay objective. Negotiations are on and both sides are not denying it. That Federal Minister is the government's spokesman, that's his portfolio. Help yourself.

Government has nothing to lose to Twitter's irresponsibility, it's just Twitter and people like us who have refused to use APN one day until Twitter starts behaving itself on the Nigerian soil.

And you know what, I'm not losing anything anyways.

So you should commend the two sides for even seeing the need to trash the issues out in the interest of Nigerians who are doing real businesses on Twitter instead of being mischievous early Tuesday morning.

I would have told him "stop being dumb"...asking him to stay objective is needless

They topple governments at will, scatter and pillage them of their resources while feeding you bullsh*t, create civil wars and famine then prevent you from flocking into their respective countries.

The U. N is a sham, they allow certain countries who are controlled by the masons to possess nuclear weapons but others are destroyed just for contemplating the idea!

They approve the vaccinations you're given and you hv been programmed to deny what ever comes fron another source.
You don't have the independence of choice!
They determine the prices of raw materials while they don't have sh*t in their God for saking lands (oil, gold, silver, diamonds) prices are set by western markets and industries.

They are the ones who approve the leaders you elect... The ones they disapprove are automatically dictators nd authoritarians cuz they won't give their corporations free access to your riches nd you as the monkeys that you're fall for that sh*t.

What a world... Read your effing histories (the untainted ones) to know what you are up against.

Shut the fvck up!

Shut the fvck up? Give him his meds you mean!

Twitter that is too hard to operate by some average Nigerians in which they are good with facebook. They should never unban it.

Mention one Nigerian company that places ads on Twitter?


Or you think the companies pay twitter before they open acct or post?

my last post to you cos it seems I'm just talking to a brick wall.

Having population of 10 people who have 5 people use your service is better than population of 1000 who have only 1 person use your service. Plus there is already huge social media in china and twitter cannot compete there anymore
(Common sense number 1)

Apple sell more services than products these days and they are working well on china.
Apple tv is a service, apple store is a service.

Apple is just one example. There are thousands of American services in bed with Chinese government and China. E.g, steam, epic games etc. (Common sense number 2)


The ban is not affecting average Nigerians in anyway because you can still access it. And no one is dying before they can't browse twitter.
Twitter is just a website out of millions of websites on the internet. (Common sense 3)


On the final note, if you can't prove I support Buhari even after specifically telling you I don't, don't you think you are stupid as you posited?

Let me also chip in on the twitter in China - You don't even need to refer to twitter in China at all in a discourse to show twitter's reach. Twitter is not even in the top-10 social media platforms in China. Sina Weibo (aka Twitter of China) has taken that market.

Twitter has their terms, China does not agree and wants to control the narrative.

China has banned twitter since 2009 yet it didn't affect their growth so why would they amend anything now?

3. The average Nigerian and the average Nigerian company/Small business isn't the same. But if, according to you, the ban changes nothing why continue it? What is Nigeria gaining from the ban? This is the million dollar question that nobody seems to have the answer to.

What do you gain from lying?

That is because twitter has been banned in China since 2009. But despite this Huawei, a major Chinese company, has an account with 7 million followers because they still need to market their products to foreigners.

All the twitter ban does is give Nigerian businesses customers away to foreign influences.
