When an organization operating largely from outside a country seeks to regulate the President of a country into silence on security matters, those who think insecurity must be sustained will applaud such move. They will be accompanied on that fatal voyage by those who erroneously rates freedom and politics higher than national security. Those ones are not even embarrassed to be categorized as ignorant of lack of freedom in a war situation, There's no freedom during a war! Preventing a war is the sustenance of freedoms!
A man with the duty to secure a nation and consistently under fire for not doing enough is putting forward a policy of treating those involved with creation of insecurity "in the language they understand" after referencing a 30-month civil war and destruction of government property is surprisingly being vilified by a section of his country for starting with the organization that surreptitiously supports the insecurity? He should have traveled to France or the US to lodge a report against the destructive elements within or just commence operations without a warning? He shouldn't have said it on twitter but the platform can accommodate those who preach violent disintegration? I care so little about disintegration. I care very much about a violent route to achieving it.
Haven't we clamored for increased action from the actors in state security? We will applaud a Sunday Igboho's violence in the bush and on YouTube but antagonize a President's expression of his resolution to tackle violence on Twitter?
I heard some talk about freedom of expression of citizens being curtailed by the Twitter ban. Citizens want unbridled consumption of Twitter services even as their President is taken down and most probably even when risk to life and properties are sustained?
The power of a nation doesn't lie in the nobility of ideas cultured therein, it lies in the intellectualism deployed in the actualization of the ideas. Those who want power shouldn't bring us down intellectually in the comity of nations.
Are we so ignorant of the depopulation agenda of the superpowers against Africa? The only thing France has done in it's former colony in Africa is the establishment of military hotels therein and bringing soldiers and guns! Bill Gates recently told us that the world needs depopulation. Haven't we noticed how unimpressed they've been about Africa's successful battle against HIV, Ebola and Covid19? Is it too difficult to notice the US embellishment of India and Brazil's failures in pandemic containment? Of course they should if it aligns with their depopulation agenda! If we refused to die by their diseases and their "pity and misery wishes" are wasted here, must they be given a red carpet reception through their agents and forerunners of war?
Every law-abiding inhabitant is safer and life more abundant on the streets of Beijing than in New York. Oh yes, freedom doesn't outweigh national security. The Nigerian Supreme Court once said it recently in Dokubo-Asari v FRN.. It's reported in 2007 part 1048 of the Nigerian Weekly Law Reports.
China recognizes the unending war of superpowers against one another and interests not aligning with them. China banned Twitter. Citizens can use Sein Weibo.....and that's taking her citizens out of foreign manipulation and subtle control! Russians whether or not supported by state powers are now deploying Ransomeware against US companies and helplessness appears to be reigning. We didn't even realise how devilishly they've deployed Cambridge Analitica against Africa until their own implosion revealed gory details.
The riots of Hong Kong sustained and supported by the Trump-US and US policy is what the US tackles in the Capitol riots/protests. One policy at home another for foreigners. And we claim to sabi. ....lol
India banned TikTok and Snapchat for being inimical to security of India. Uganda and Egypt doesn't have Twitter. Remember the Jeff Koinages CNN story against Uganda that got the reporter axed? Jeff later had his properties sold due to indebtedness. Someone broke and ready to sell off a country? I wish I have the resources to investigate Nima Elbagir's finances also of CNN after her EndSars news roll out that reopened healing wounds in Nigeria. Mewa n'sele ...
The US under Donald Trump started the process of banning TikTok before he left office. Many claimed its for economic reasons. Tell me which reason is bad for the US? Huawei, a Chinese technology company was banned in US and Sweden for security concerns. Citizens didn't cry! They rose up to take advantage and accepted the challenge. What then could be wrong if Nigerians clamour for security and the President issued a warning to destructive elements using Twitter handle? Twitter aligning with dissidents? Not impossible! Boya l'emo !
Twitter is a US company headquartered in San Francisco. The top 5 arms company in the world are also based in the US. General Dynamics and Raytheon Technologies compete with Lockheed Martin and Boeing for market shares in sales all over the world! Every arms manufacturer is searching for where the next big war is most likely just like the casket makers hovers around mortuaries and hospitals. Doesn't that look consistent with marketing trends? Do we have the capacity to know what Twitter or anyone else is doing with these companies? Odiegwu .
Our capacity is resilience in Unity against external influence. We shall return home to do our quarrel.
As long as those who fight for Africans can only use one hand in their fights because the other hand must be used against those who don't want enemies to be fought, we are most unlikely to escape the fatal consequences of tolerating the lurking jackals. The world is at war and countries are consistent with plans to preserve themselves at any cost and destabilize enemies, Nigeria is at play and consistently with politics to fragment the country and consume enemy baits.
Regardless of prayers being my weakness, I pray we overcome. I testify NaijaNoDeyCarryLast .
