Nigeria and Twitter (2) by Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, SAN

One crucial point that is missing here is that Nigerians in their thousands on Twitter protested President Buhari’s tweet. According to their rules, every protest must be scrutinized to determine its validity. In reality, it violated their rule 4. The alibi of bias made against Twitter on Nnamdi Kanu’s tweet is self-indicting. Nigeria’s information handlers never sensitized and mobilized Nigerians to protest to Twitter, they’re busy with mundane things. A government that fails to listen to its peoples’ wishes, disobey court orders at will, how would they obey simple rules of engagement with Twitter?

He whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. History has a way of repeating itself, this was how he started in 1984, and Decree 4 was the final stroke that broke the camelback. The Aso Rock occupant and his extremist supporters should be very careful, this is 2021! Off he goes to China for an internet gateway, ordering media houses to deactivate social media accounts, while bandits and killer herdsmen wreak havoc across the land.
There is hunger and despair in the land, poverty, and insecurity on the increase, he and his extremist supporters care less. Some people still think they are not affected, well we shall see. We now have a Dear Leader no more a president, a Tyrant whose words and thoughts are laws. The next step is to set out a dress code for the citizens all in the name of patriotism. We are on the road to China, North Korea, and Hitler’s Germany! We voted for a President, not a Dear Leader, Nigeria isn’t China or North Korea!

Dear sir Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa SAN, the same was extended towards Donald J. Trump and he Didn’t die, and besides it was as a result of Nigerians trending and reporting the post that it got the attention of Twitter which led to removing the tweets and besides this things happen mostly in privately owned social networks like that, “Nigeria own grievances no Dey ever get a touch of reality Abeg” Sir this shows the level at which everyone would be treated in this very Nigeria wey no help anybody.

In the first place, the same government that is planning to regulate the social media space on the pretense of what it termed HATE SPEECH shouldn’t have used the same platform to resurrect the ghost of Biafra. The government is only showcasing its dictatorship on all fronts. God bless you SAN.

Ever since Buhari became President sir, your thoughts on issues that have to do with President Buhari and his Government it’s nothing to take home for me anymore.
With the recent leaked Memo from the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission seeking to gag the newspaper review of the electronic media, it has become crystal clear that the government is very uncomfortable with criticism of its actions and policies, which have increased in recent times.
The solution to this is not to suppress dissenting views but rather to improve upon effective performance. When a government performs to the satisfaction of the people, critical media will not be popular with the masses. If the media prospers with scathing attacks on the government, then it means that particular government is not doing well at all. A government loved by the people will in no time run out of negative media. So, the ball is in the court of the President and his men.
