Still on the #TwitterBan For @gbengasesan "The ban is not just about twitter, it's about the govt shutting down one of the most enjoyed civic spaces by Nigerians." Do you have a similar thought? Do share with us. #KeepitOn #NoToTwitterBan

#NoToTwitterBan "The #TwitterBan in Nigeria was a wrong move and has no genuine basis. The Federal Government saw the ban as an opportunity to shut the voice of the people..." @Abolajitosin Do you share similar thoughts? #KeepitOn

How much is Nigeria losing for each hour that @twitter remains blocked? We have an answer from @netblocks' Cost of Shutdown Tool (COST). Each hour costs Nigeria N90.7M ($250,600). A total shutdown costs $5,593,819 per hour! See the continuing loss here: netblocks.org/cost/

Dear @DrIsaPantami, we are sure you have seen the pictures of Nigerians rushing to @nimc_ng centres. This was avoidable, especially during the 2nd wave of a pandemic. We ask again: stop this mandatory NIN/SIM registration process until legal and logistics issues are resolved.
