Nigerians have taken to Twitter to express their anger and frustration over the Federal Government’s suspension of Twitter in Nigeria.
The Federal Government on Friday, June 4, 2021, placed a ban on Twitter after a press conference held by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, over Buhari’s deleted post.
The press release was titled, ‘FG suspends Twitter operations in Nigeria.’
Here are some of the reactions;

As FG has suspended Twitter in Nigeria, The best thing is for Jack to remove verifications from all government officials and suspend all of them because they have been using twitter to make all their announcements since ??.
This drama go sweet with Bigi Tropical and Kulikuli?— Salman? (@NotJustSalmanPR) June 4, 2021
FG has suspended Twitter in Nigeria. Lai Mohammed has direct the NBC to block access to Twitter in Nigeria.
Jack bruised their ego big time. Full-blown dictatorship, Social Media Gag is finally here. They might try to suspend the Constitution. So get ready to hit the streets.

The suspension of the activities of @Twitter in Nigeria by the @MBuhari administration should be ignored by @Jack. The Buhari government has no means to effect the suspension, and even members of the administration are still on Twitter#TwitterSuspendBuharisAccount#TableShaker

Does President Buhari and the federal government know how much young Nigerians make on social media platforms like Twitter daily? Does Lai Mohammed know the number of jobs being sustained by Twitter in Nigeria ??? What is wrong with these people?
