It is obvious the Admin has always been their own enemy. Being paranoid with their obsession with power and total control in order to secure their Regime at the expense of National security. The fear that Twitter may be weapon against them is only projected as a trauma response.
The same platform they heavily invested in to oust another admin is now being perceived as a threat against their misgovernance & maladministration. Human beings have the capacity to do good & evil and so does any Technology. John Wick even used a book to kill in combat.
Do we go about killing people because of our perceived notion of the evil they may be capable of doing? Do we ban anything & everything adopted by majority for the fear of abuse? This is paranoia. Twitter must never be driven underground because of the ego trip of the listless.
The response of Govt is a knew jerk reaction that exposes their unconscionable dearth of tact and understanding of the composition of the populace they ought to engage and govern. 70% of the population have been radicalized, cannot be ruled & will soon prove their indomitability.
If you need to regulate the use of Socialmedia, this can be done responsibly by engaging the sector & involving people who understands the pathology of its responsible use and abuse. The militant ban approach is anachronistic and counterproductive. You’re making things worse.
Even the blind knows that the delegates sent to meet with Twitter have no interest of the community that use the platform at heart. How much trust would this admin be willing to lose with their insensitivity & willful blindness? I’m glad people can see clearly now.
Leadership is not wielding Authority through oppressive means to suppress the core essence of the populace. It is about empowering the people. Govt MUST live by their words & avoid approbating and reprobating. How do you lift people out of poverty by blocking every ray of hope?

I’ve been meaning to address the issue with @adamugarba’s Crowwe App and several insinuations over the latest development with #TwitterBanInNigeria. I did my usual digging & was going to engage him at @akintollgate’s clubhouse session yesterday but he never returned as promised.
Adamu Garba may be known to most as a politician who ran for President in 2019 and later stepped down to support the #NextLevelAgenda of Mr President, but outside that he is also a young entrepreneur in the Tech industry with his firm (IPI Solutions).
Adamu like most political supporters of the Change agenda in his category benefitted from the admin even before 2019. If the @officialEFCC contract award notification to IPI Solutions on the 17th of April 2017 (EFCC/PROC/131/V.I) is anything you go by, the dots can be connected.
There’s no foreign partnership that can solve our internal security imbroglio fueled by the subjugation of the rule of law, nepotism & inequality. The self genocidal trend wasn’t an accident but deliberately curated by ethnic brigades with the blessing of the powers that be. 🚔
The same clannish sentiment that engineered the allusion that the war on Boko Haram is a war on the North. The same mentality that justified terrorist sympathizers in public office & security appointment to be skewed to the North. Murderous bandits are yet to be proscribed…
…and northern religious/political leaders are openly making a case for the Bandits’ murders, while others are issuing threats against our national sovereignty without consequences. 🇳🇬 is not a conquest of any Jihad & I wonder what the US/UK are coming to reinforce.
A terrible mess I must say at this point. I hope those complicit will ever return from the wilderness of their shame even while grandstanding. The truth remains the greatest weapon. #EndStupidity ⛱
As stated across platforms, demonizing people as a strategy will most times haunt those who depend on such methods of agitating for change. It is true for APC as it is for those being publicly humiliated over their lack of tact in engaging the public on matters of accountability.
If you are altruistically intervening on behalf of the public as an individual or organization using your personal resources, you accountability is basically the result of your activities as reported by you (organization) or as corroborated by beneficiaries of your activities.
“Practical elegance is something that is available to all of us. If we choose, it can become the cornerstone of our work. Some of us make a thing & many of us make a system.”
The harmony & singularity of purpose void of discordance constitute systemic efficiency. #Significance
“What makes something practically elegant is that it’s better, smoother, cleaner, more understandable, kinder, more efficient, friendlier or more approachable than it needs to be.”
I guess this is the difference between a Mercedes Benz & Toyota, Niche & Mass market etc
“When we create something with practical elegance, we are investing time and energy in a user experience that satisfies the user more than it helps the bottom line of the company that made it.”
It’s harder than it looks & years of practice and discipline in obscurity pays.
I’ll continue to plead that you forgive the inadequacies of flawed beings while we magnify the positivity and advantage they bring. There’s nothing wrong in correcting momentary lapses of judgement but cancellation must never be an option. Let encourage those contributing. 🙏🏽
It’s imperative to take a lesson from the cobra effect, which occurs when an adopted strategy or solution to a problem makes the problem worse due to unseen consequences. The term is used to illustrate the causes of incorrect stimulus in economy and politics. We’re all important.
For the purpose of illustration of a typical cobra effect scenario. Imagine a country like China or India having a problem with massive deaths of farmers due to cobra bites & serious economic cost on antidotes leading to the formulation of a policy that could help the situation.
There’s already an inquiry into the rogue decision of the CBN Governor. The decision will no doubt be reversed once the report of the panel is received at the Presidency. Nigeria cannot remain in the dark at the expense of the huge population of creatives seeking to be heard.
The Government needs to get a grip and learn more before shaming the citizenry on a global scale. The blockchain model have smart businesses opportunity that could emancipate millions far more effectively than paternalistically sharing N5k in the market to install welfarism.
We are building innovative businesses of the future and connecting Africa beyond the wildest imagination of our Govt. The project we started in 2015 is already doing great in Kenya & we’re participating in the $100m Carbon Capture Competition 👉🏽worldarchitecture.org/architecture-n…
