Quote
“I am directed to inform that following the recent ban on Twitter by the Federal Government and Press Statement issued by some Heads of Diplomatic Missions Accredited to Nigeria on the subject matter, the Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs, His Excellency, Geoffrey Onyeama has invited the affected Ambassadors to a meeting today at 12 noon”.







Recall that following the suspension of the microblogging platform, the invited envoys had jointly kicked against the decision of the Federal Government stressing that banning systems of expression is not the way forward.

Nigeria can’t be a puppet to the White man ! It’s a pride of a nation to understand what’s sovereignty and freedom. No more double standards game . We deserve some respect not demanding it but it’s our right as a nation to take a firm stance against those hell bent destroying and seeing the country in war . Why not Twitter doing same to secessionist .We say enemy of Blackman should be banned with their nonsense news outlets
