I never thought I would say this, but, if anything Nigeria has to pay twitter. What value does govt even provide to twitter, for them to pay taxes. If anything its citizens are using it as a platform, to voice their opinions/thoughts. For politicians its a pissing contest platform. This is pure BS and Nigerian govt must be ashamed for trying to exploit.

I do hope Twitter can find a solution to this. Sometimes, with proper guidance and knowledge; Social media can be helpful and informative to its users.

Watched a group on Twitter decide to come and burn down my neighborhood. Watched them organize it and all start heading over. This is a mixed neighborhood that happens to have a lot of gun right nuts. So it would have gone badly one way or another.

Thankfully the police blocked all the ways for them to get the area, but still.

After spending the entire night reporting people on Twitter and seeing nothing done. Well I deleted Twitter. Never again.
