Abuja, Nigeria The Nigerian government says it has"indefinitely suspended" Twitter's operations in the country, the Ministry of Information and Culture announced in a statement on Friday.
"The Federal Government has suspended, indefinitely, the operations of the microblogging and social networking service, Twitter, in Nigeria," it read.The statement, which was posted on the ministry's official Twitter handle on Friday evening, accused the American social media company of allowing its platform to be used"for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria's corporate existence.
This happened early today, 6, June, 2021. The current Fulani-led FG of Nigeria would not want this kind of news to reach the outside world & closer to the people uncensored. The massacre was allegedly done by Fulani killer herdsmen from the North in the South of Nigeria. jack

Holà, cnnbrk Bitcoin 💔 BREAKING NEWS 💔 Anonymous on the back of elonmusk
African leaders like this who r drunk on power r one of the reasons united States of africa will never work AfrikParliament PutSouthAficansFirst PanAfricanParliament
Nigeria should sue them in international court.
Its right time China should come and take all there money back so we watch if they have right to suspend any thing.
cnni Another one of those corrupt countries. David Cameron once remarked that if British elites had ripped off as much money the Nigerian elites had taken out of their country, Britain would be on its knees.
We want it that way
Nah mumu government, don't mind them, height of ignorance
Joke...
It's a private business, right libs? Right? Countries are free to allow or not allow private businesses that they deem harmful.
Nigeria is a kangaroo camp not a country,
👏👍
Dictator on the loose ..
Who cares
Expired country everything way they this country na cruise even the president 🥱
They definitely did. Many subscribers woke up this morning to a Nigeria without Twitter. My right to a Twitter account is an extension of my fundamental right to free speech. Let it be known that a tyrannical dictatorship is hiding under the cloaked illusion of democracy
This is 2021 and not 1960! Buhari you cannot annihilate us again. This is jihadist movement against Igbos, thank you twitter, please flag down presidency account as you did to Trump. Only a stupid igbo man will support buhari government. buharimustgo.
And you think Twitter cares about Nigeria 🇳🇬😂😂😂😂

The Stone Aged Minded Federal Government has done what they know how to do best...but we moveeeeeee!. With love from UAR
jam_the_coder Please ask Lai Mohamed who is the 'real' president of Nigeria

And please is BUHARI THAT BAN TWITTER NOT NIGERIA
And why do they even need them.. witchcraft and cannibalism are all of them..
Citizens of UAR are still tweeting...lol
See How Buhari is shamelessly embarrassing himself
Good for them.
This Nigerian president is driving the country to precipice while the world is standing akimbo doing nothing until it's too late. Nigeria needs to be a minimum of 3 countries
Good, censorship by big tech is a pandemic.
Foolish government, You guys should go and download vpn
Let’s get involved in Nigeria Democracy
Yeah, the hell same thing should be done by Trump when he was US' President before! Lucky twiter!
Its not the federal government, it is MBuhari executive government. The dictator acted without the approval of the legislative and judiciary arm of government.
He just expressed shock I guess he was not aware
You ban Twitter with the same Twitter You can now confirm that the people ruling nigeria are ISWAP, fulani bandits, fulani killer's herdsmen, fulani Boko Haram, because they told us that western education in sin, you can't see fulani people doing business in the western country
saint_praise they knew there’s going to be another protest in Nigeria on June 12, Twitter will be one of the tools Nigerians use to protest both home and abroad, so they quickly acted base on the deleted tweet. dont worry we’ve got VPN and they can’t stop Nigerians for voicing out
birtain is our problem let my people biafra go or Britain will be divided into pieces
OrvilleBere 😂😂😂 pane vapinda mu ⛽⛽
BREAKING: Jack opens account on Parler to be able to troll Nigeria's President about freedom of speech.
OkoroOkoroafor
Well comrades, it's been a pleasure. See you all on the other side! 🥂
Is it all about Buhari? What a country. Facebook deleted Donald Trump's message and went ahead to suspend him indefinitely. Facebook was not suspended by Trump.
Ohh yeah we Ban em, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Lol
Buhari is a plague on Nigeria
Great news👍🏿👍🏿
To those forcing Atiku & Tinubu on Nigerians, thunder will not only fire you, it will fire everything that is linked to you.

We have a failed system, a tyrant leader, a dictator who is only concerned about blood and see people suffer. Twitter you don't need to worry, Nigeria don't have the tools to suspend you and if the do, VPN will help us access you and tell the world about this dictatorship
Very childish and angry Government , just because twitter deleted the presidents tweet ... Twitter suspended trumps account and American Government saw reasons why ... Here everything is opposition. war and hatred 😠
Their loss
If Nigeria has banned twitter then how come your tweet is viewed in Nigeria dear cnn Lamestream media boss
Useless Butch

The Nigerian gvrt should have its raison for that act, so don't blame it, be Smart
Toothless bull dogs looking for drama..
Twitter is not in the least bit worried about Nigeria.
We are sending this eagle to visit MBuhari
cnnhelpUS 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
theOsasCruz Announced in a statement using the same Twitter they claimed they have banned
Nigeria government no get sense.. Im ashamed of the senseless people
Hahahahah....I'm still twitting from UAR sorry Nigeria now ask me how
I'm very happy
This is stupidity of the highest order, banning something you don't have power over. Mad people
So, Nigeria's president is as much of a baby as Trump?
Don't forget to tell everyone it's because of the genocidal tweet Buhari made, which was removed, that lead to this, the world should know what we have in the seat of power
Sadly, may be my last on twitter. Nigerian govt has been deliberate in actions against human rights. Threats of genocide against a region 4 crimes d govt may have set-up, no one has been caught or claimed responsibility. Yet identified terrorists walk freely and granted amnesty.
