Twitter isn’t any ordinary problem for crusty old men running Nigeria. It’s a catalyst for alarmingly fast social change that threatens their overall dominance. “Twitter feminist” is a slur, but also a real demographic of influential women changing discourse, attitudes, values.
Twitter feminists and influencers build huge followings, grow businesses supported by Twitter engagement, have more followers than politicians, actively serve as models of life, independence, values, attitudes directly challenging the idea crusty old men should dominate Nigeria.
Not only do Twitter feminists challenge Nigeria, they showed actual political power as brilliant organizers of #EndSARS movement that humiliated NG govt in front of the world and demonstrated what leadership could be without crusty old men’s brutality, thievery, and incompetence.
Political opposition, publicizing bad governance, human rights abuse, insults, criticism of crusty old men running Nigeria that flourish on Twitter aren’t all these relics fear. They also need to curtail all the loose women Twitter gives so much public space and social influence.
