So, you think if Facebook and the likes from the scammer Wests are no more, there won't be other alternatives that will even be better?

Common, grow up!

More likely it will still come from the West, as countries like Russia and China are not too cool with self expression. What's the purpose of social media when you must conform to government's expectations all the time(WeChat etc)? So even if Facebook and Twitter no longer exists, to replace them with something better would require a platform of free expression.

90% of all countries in Africa are highly democratic, yet we are miles below the low democratic countries like Russia and China.
See India. A high democratic nation with billions of citizens. They are among the poorest countries in the world. They are miles below their authoritorian rivals, China.

It is good to practice democracy but you shouldn't say for the sake of it, you will accept rubbish.
Facebook broke their own rules by allowing people to wish death to Russian officials and military personnels. If democracy doesn't permit Russia to ban them for trying such nonsense, then f**k democracy!

Freedom of speech is a double edged sword.
The world is against Russia now that's why some exception may be made by Facebook.
Moreover, I wasn't even referring only to this FB issue.
It just baffles me how Putin was able to acquire the absolute power he as in an European country like Russia. Such can't even happen in Nigeria

gambojimeta:

Even the VK/Khontakte is against Putin's invasion. Putin will be banning VK too in a bit.

I don't know about that, though you could be right.

The amount of movies, pornography (that even the elites consume), music, news that Vk makes available to those Russians, and even foreign nations (Ukraine, Kazakhstan, China, Korea, Belarus, and some others) will make it difficult for Putin to ban the site.
It's like China banning Sinai weibo or QQ just because of public uproar towards Xi Jinping or the Communist Party. Highest thing, is to make it none available to those other nations, to curtail spread of the revolting against the leaders. But it will stay active in its (the website's) host nation.

It's unlikely to happen. But let's watch, though.

Whenever I reflect on the level of damage done to africa by those western countries hiding under democracy to inflict imperialist damages, I weep. Particularly, What they did to Libya. A country that was working beyond imagination. With living standard better than those obtainable in the west. Suddenly the West came with all sorts of contrived invectives against gadafi. We foolish, dumb and brainless Africans thought the West wanted us to better. We supported them to destroy Libya and killed gadafi. Alas the once most prosperous country in Africa is nothing to write home about now.

It's like looking at the economy under Abacha and saying it was more powerful than what we have now. While this is true, never underestimate the power of hatred against lifetime rulers. The world as a whole has gone beyond dictators and any country where the dictator still exists there are bound to be rebellions of some sort. Libya was not the El Doraldo that you painted it, several groups wanted a change, it started internally and Gadaffi's biggest mistake was to fire on protesters and insists he rather die than to give up power......SHEY NA HIM PAPA GET LIBYA?

These mentioned people are working for Americans government

Same west told you that there is nuclear bomb in Iraq
Same west said Gadaffi is a terrorist.
Same west destroyed Venezuela because they refused them free access to oil
Same west destroyed Syria.
This same west support Taiwan independence but not support western Ukraine independence.
Africa cannot grow because of this west.

Now I wonder why some of our brains are faulty and lack ability to reason

True. But even this Facebook is regulated. Not all expressions are permitted. No matter the freedom the Wests are claiming, they are also using the same platform to spread lies and propaganda. So what's the difference?

You want to buy Putin a beer, but me i want to buy champagne for you.

There is something known as "Internet sovereignty", and China alongside Russia now with this ban would protect theirs. The Internet for all intent and purposes is American. Its promotes western centric ideas, while killing local IT potentials.

Google knows the average Nigerian more than he knows himself. via each Google search, your location, your emails, your "doc" documents, your credit card details, apps on your phone, contacts, etc Google has a near 100% accuracy of your data. Facebook amd instagram is even worse, because you voluntarily put your stuff there to "pepper" your friends, but mr Mark know you well, even when you were a Muslim ten years ago.

Big tech algorithms now is so powerful, that sometimes, I begin receive adverts on something I searched, or even talked about in my room that I'll buy (for those using Google home device). There is no privacy at all. I can write a textbook on this big tech company and in my view, it should be butchered and let each countries have theirs. Imagine Buhari, our national security leader using Google, they have access to him than citizens he is suppose to serve.

People really underestimate the depth, scope, extent, and strength of neo-colonialism. Its in the air you breathe, you live with it, and so comfortable without knowing you're in chains. Whatever.

I hope one day you would realise that America is the most dictator of all time; bigger than any individual dictator ever. Their aim is to control every country in the world. Tell me another meaning of dictatorship?

MangekyoAlt:

I am minimizing my use of them.
I don't use Facebook, Twitter and Instagram anymore. I only use Whatsapp, Telegram, Nairaland and Reddit

If Nigerian govt bans Facebook, Twitter and Instagram today, and gives a good alternative, then it's okay. Gradually we should move away from these western piece of shits. It's a gradual process, not something you do out of nowhere

The russians will surely replace those banned western propaganda tools with something something similar and that's what matters

You seriously need to give Reddit a break. A very big break!!! Or atleast reduce consuming too much of its content. The forum is just one huge echo chamber that systematically silences opposition voices.

Tell me a successful run black nation in the world.. because i know for sure you will blame Nigeria leaders , who are you going to blame for the other black nations?

So because I make use of your property which I bought with my hard earned money I can’t have a say? How does that make you feel ?

How stupid u are. Africa can not grow because of the West u say. Is the West holding any African nation from progressing? Abi the man in Aso Rock is he an American or British?? U lots can be very foolish with your blame games. If there’s anyone to blame for the plight of African nations, blame your corrupt irresponsible leaders who have embezzled your funds and subjected u as slaves to poverty. Blame your leaders who loot and borrow wickedly from the West and China thereby making us indebted for life. Blame your tyrant leaders who cause civil wars and seek for help from western powers to topple their political opponents. Flies won’t come perching without being invited, so will the white man not interfere if ur leaders hadn’t given them the opportunity to.

It’s time u people had sense! The West isn’t your problem! Face your leadersz

The UK is preparing to temporarily nationalize Gazprom’s British retail supply arm, Bloomberg reported on Monday. The measure is taken to ensure distressed companies continue energy supplies to customers amid losses due to higher energy costs.

Gazprom Marketing & Trading Retail Ltd is a prime candidate to be taken into the UK’s special administration regime, Bloomberg has cited a person familiar with the matter, adding that no one at the Gazprom unit was available to comment.

The unit – trading as Gazprom Energy - has over 30,000 business customers and supplies energy to businesses and public institutions, including parts of the UK’s National Health Service.

You mean on Facebook you can't express your dislike for the government? You can't express your love for money, lifestyle, food etc? Of course some things will be regulated, you can't conduct criminal activities or harrass anyone but for the most part you get more freedom than most people in China.

You publicly talking against the west when your lives depend on them is the highest level of hypocrisy I’ve ever seen. Weather you agree or not, they are in control of your useless lives and your opinions are like pieces of shit to them and don’t count in grand scheme of things..


If they decide to take away their products and ban access to it, your lives will be more useless than it is . Idiotic idiot .
