At exactly 12am on the 5th of June, the Nigerian government shut down Twitter in Nigeria, one of the largest micro blogging sites in the world.
According to Paradigm Initiative, a digital rights organization, the country has lost N2,177,089,051 ($6,014,390) based on the Cost of Shutdown Tool for the very first day.

The loss continues at a rate of N90,712,044 ($250,600) every hour!

Bear in mind that it doesn’t mean the government is directly paying for it to be suspended, the money being lost is simply the cost the shutdown is having on the economy as of immediate timing. Using indicators from World Bank, Euro Stat and U.S Census and others.

You don't have common sense

If you were rational, you would answer the question

Ignorant people peddling worthless and fabricated meaningless propaganda.

Less than 1% of Nigerians are on Twitter so exactly who is losing money and from what business, transactions or value did you add up to come up with that rubbish?

You don't have to pick up every trash on the internet, makes you look unintelligent because that rubbish is meaningless.


Why are some people so daft?

Why are some people so daft?

You lack sense of economics..

Dont the online stores get the goods from the local stores even from the villagers while reaching a wider international audience including export?

Does twitter not create a verifiable means of getting to producers, whole sale merchants, retailers directly etc?

The public speaking and interview awareness which creates income is mostly publicised through Twitter.

The spread of information which tilts an economy in various favours, Twitter is a means.

The projection of new entrants trends and produce to reach a wider audience would be extremely difficult and expensive for start ups if not for twitter.

How are they loosing money? It's not like we can't access Twitter to do our business or is there something I'm not understanding?

Also, people in the digital marketing and graphic design professions rely on Twitter and social media in general to advertise for their client companies.

And along with Instagram, models and influencers use Twitter to market and advertise for various brands, especially clothing, electronics, beauty care items and supplements, the most successful individuals making tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.

The FG didn't consider the effect on people's livelihoods before implementing this policy.

Buhari is a failure, he don't understand anything

Lies, fake news and propaganda are the qualities of ipob terrorists.
Let us lose 2 trillion naira, we don't care twitter must go down.
It is better to lose money than losing lives. Twitter want to bring war to Nigeria, do you know how many lives will be lost in that war?
God punish twitter!!!

Baawaa:
Buhari is a failure, he don't understand anything

So Twitter brought Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen, and bandits to Nigeria?

Have those not been killing thousands of people in this country for years? This, on top of money being lost due to ransom for their kidnappings.

What has the government done about those?

Which other micro blogging site can boost of 10million Nigerian users not to mention 200million like Twitter? Nairaland abi Crowwee that already got hacked.
The funny thing is Twitter isn't really losing anything, Nigerians use vpn's from mostly USA IPs. So Nigerian users get to see USA business and most likely purchase from them. More business for USA less Business and money to Nigeria. No one is switching anywhere, #keepiton has 441k Tweets from Nigerians in less than 24hrs, does that sound like anyone is switching!
