This pancocojams post provides examples of tweets about the "indefinite" ban that the Nigerian federal government has imposed on the microblogging and social networking service Twitter. This suspension was imposed the evening of June 4, 2021 starting June 5, 2021. That resulted in a number of  Nigerian hashtags that trending worldwide the following days.

Mind you, Facebook also took down Buhari’s post but the Minister of Information won’t shut them down.

Why? Because Facebook is not as functional as Twitter when it comes in tackling government’s sponsored propaganda. #KeepitOn

 He said tweeting is in accordance with Article 19 of the UN universal declaration of human rights.

“The Redeemed Christian Church of God is domiciled in more than 170 Nations & Territories. The tweets here are in accordance to Article 19 of the UN universal declaration of Human Rights,” the cleric tweeted."...

  1. While this is a very serious situation, there are some witty and funny thweets about the Nigerian federal government's suspension of Twitter.

    A number of Nigerians moved to another nation, by way of the VPN app.

    Here's one exchange on this account: https://twitter.com/iamofficialobj/status/1402173726360322048

    - There are nearly 40 M Twitter users in #Nigeria, and the country is home to Africa's largest tech hub. This suspension is nothing more than state-sanctioned denial of free speech and should be reversed immediately. #KeepitOn
