Nigeria bans Twitter

Posted on by

Nigeria has made the decision to ban Twitter, the quoted reason from President Muhammadu Buhari was “The government said its decision, announced on Twitter on June 4, was due to the “persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence.”

The ban came a few days after Twitter deleted tweets by President Muhammadu Buhari for violating the platform’s policies.

Twitter did not help its case after the social media site deleted a tweet by President Muhammadu Buhari that threatened secessionist groups in the southeast who had been responsible for attacks on government offices.

Twitter played a very active part in spreading propaganda, disinformation and deliberately rigging the US Election (allegedly – DA) and have been trying the same thing in other Countries – and I am VERY glad that the Nigerian Government have taken this action – more need to follow this example.

  1. Twitter should keep it’s nose out of Africa….just look at the business opportunity that has just dropped into my lap…..
    Greetings.

    My name is MR.JACOB THABANE ZULU. I am a senior government official in the Department of Public works and housing of the Republic of South Africa and the Chairman of the board in charge of the contracts award execution and supervision of all contracts in the Ministry of works and Housing. In 2020, I personally monitored and Supervised the awarded contracts for the supply of building materials and construction of Ultra modern shopping malls, low cost housing units, airports maintenance and Stadiums and hospitals /laboratories and Medical Equipment’s for COVID-19 preparations in the Eastern Cape, Western Cape, Natal and Gauteng Provinces here in South Africa.

    My colleague and I are serving in the board deliberately inflated and over invoiced the contract sum, leaving an excess of US$89.500,000.00 (Eighty Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand United States dollars). At the completion of the contract, the real contract sum was paid to the original contractors, leaving the excess, which we reported to the Government that it belonged to the sub-contractor that handled part of the original contract. But the company we Submitted as the beneficiary was a non-existing foreign company, which was a purported attempt by us to divert the money for our private use. I do not intend to mince words with you, I have to tell you the truth; this is a deal but it is 100% risk-free and genuine because the contract has been perfectly and genuinely executed and completed. It depends on whether you are interested or not. Right now this amount is due for payment and is floating in the treasury not attached to anyone/company. We are only two people who know the origin of this fund. But we cannot claim it by ourselves because we are civil servants therefore we are looking for a trustworthy foreign company / individual whose name we can use to claim the money for our mutual benefit.

    This is strictly a business deal, but it is 100% risk-free and secure because we will use our official positions to source all the necessary approvals, official documents and certificates that will back up the fund to reflect that you/your company genuinely executed and completed the contract. All necessary arrangements have been put in place in all the relevant departments for immediate approval of this payment. For your co-operation, we have agreed to offer you 35% of the entire amount on conclusion of the transaction while 65% will be for us. Please if you are interested in this proposal, I want you to respond immediately through my personal and telephone stated above for further information and directives. This transaction is expected to be completed within 14 working days and is highly confidential and discreet.

    In this timelines which I want to invest are Estate developer, Construction company, Hospital, Hotel Management, Tourism, Import & Export, Sports, Shopping mall, Agriculture & Transportation. Maybe in other investment which you can introduce as my partner. Please do endeavor to write me back on my E-mail (thabanezulu1955@webmail.co.za) for more details. On receipt of your response, I will forward to you further information which will give you a clearer overview of this project.

    Thank you for your co-operation. Your urgent reply is awaited.

    Your Sincerely,

    Mr. Jacob Thabane Zulu

    • Bloody hell Dick; don’t forget to make a slice of the action available to your old pals on here!

      • You lot won’t get a sniff of my extensive fortune.

        Afternoon,Ron….I’m glad to see you back.

      • You lucky bastard. Some folk just have all the luck. You can buy a lot of Frey Bentos pies with that.

        Lucky twat.

    • The corruption between business in Nigeria and western suppliers is and was very real, I know of a certain UK company who were supplying product to Nigeria at an inflated mark up and then issuing a credit note to the UK parent…. All real!!

    • What is Twitter? My mrs rattles on about it, and that tiktok shit, but she’s a bit brown so I don’t value her opinion being a white supremacist.

  2. Screw Nigeria. Half the cunts are here in Britain anyway.

    I just wish they would ban Twitter in the UK. Permanently.

  3. Twitter should be banned in every country because it is for mincers, narcissists, pansies and other herd mentality people that can’t eat anything without taking a photograph of it first and showing all their pretend twitter friends!

    Good afterspoons and fuck off!

    • Aftermorgen TBRILW.

      You enquired after “Farmer Giles” a few days back. Assume you know it’s another of CS’s identities?

      • Now you’ve mentioned it I certainly shoud’ve done, RTC, but strangely enough had him pegged for someone far less boring.

        I’m a silly old Hector 🙁

  4. The cunts don’t need Twitter.
    Nigerians shout so fucking loud they don’t even need a phone….

    • On one happy occasion I proved that I can shout even louder. Cunt “wouldn’t be told” to clean up his mess. He cleaned it up.
      Personally I prefer cockroaches to Nigerians, but an example had to be made.

  5. What I don’t understand is people banned from twitter going to Gab/Parler. Don’t look at Parler if you’re sensitive (full of very err interesting people). So you go from one extreme to to other. That said nothing Trump said deserved a ban he just talked a lot.

  6. I wish we had the courage of Nigeria to ban Twatter. Trouble is, anyone with a VPN can easily get around these bans. Best solution would be to drop a small tactical nuclear bomb on Twatter’s HQ.

    • Some “Canned sunshine” or “instant sunshine”. Our forces know how to name stuff. Hope they’re ready for the big showdown on the distant horizon. It’s going to be us or them and I’m rooting for us!

  7. I thought the blek fuckers had no money so how do they access Twatter?

    I’m beginning to think those TV adverts starring Mtebe Bolongo as a waif having to walk 55 miles for dung infested water are a sham.

    I’m going to contact the authorities about the lying cunts.

    • I’m sure I’ve seen one child actor turn up in ads for two different charidees. There’s bound to be an agency, running auditions… Who can snivel the most/rub eyes/look the most flyblown.
      And that annoying photographer, who’s just become a grandfather. Loads of pea dough photo opportunities, the filthy cunt

  9. You know my thoughts on twatter vernon Took less than 7 weeks for the cunts to permanently Chuck me off. And as cunters on here would surely know I’m a moderate free speech advocate am I not. Fuck twatter bomb 💣 the cunts. Within moderation of course.

  10. Which is worse Twitter banning Nigeria or Nigeria banning Twitter, hard to think which are the biggest set of cunts.

    Nigeria, one of many shit holes collectively know as Africa.

  12. If President Muhammadu Buhari thinks Twitter is corrupt then……
    Hang on a minute, that is Nigeria he presides over isn’t it?
    I must have the place confused with some other ethical and moral paradise.

  14. I’d ban Twatter world wide, they’re lefty cunts. They stopped me posting because some fannies couldn’t take my lingo. Well fuck em now they’ve been banned. Let’s hope it’s catching.
    Twatter you are cunts.

  15. Who needs Twitter when we has de BONGOS man, and de smoke signals, and de big drums played by David Lammy – three, four, and take it easy on the high hat

  16. “Nigeria’s corporate existence”??
    Business techniques stolen from the mafia.
    At least Italy produced decent operas…
    All we hear is Radio Gaga / Mtembe in the call centre.
