Nigeria has the largest population in Africa
Nigeria is a far more serious and "based" country than the US, at least if President Muhammadu Buhari's response to Twitter censorship – compared to that of Donald Trump's – is anything to go by.
The government in Abuja announced on Friday it had "indefinitely suspended" the US-based platform, following Twitter's censorship of Buhari. The move was made because of
"the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria's corporate existence," said Information Minister Lai Mohammed.

Nigeria's TV and press regulator, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), will also start the process of "licensing" all social media platforms in the country, the government said. The Nigerian government also missed an easy opportunity to clobber Twitter with its own wokeness cudgel and accuse CEO Jack Dorsey of being racist and Islamophobic – considering Buhari is both African and Muslim.

All that aside, however, Abuja's response stands in stark contrast to that of official Washington from a year ago, when
Twitter censored then-US President Donald Trump – and then the White House account – citing the same pretext of "glorifying violence" or
"threatening harm" to individuals or groups.
Trump responded by signing an executive order intended to crack down on social media censorship... and nothing happened. (https://media.gab.com/system/media_attachments/files/075/664/444/small/cd7f0af44c9a231e.png)
The career bureaucrats in DC simply ignored the president's orders and stood by while Twitter, Facebook and YouTube helped 'fortify' the 2020 elections in favor of Democrat Joe Biden – who revoked Trump's order last month, without bothering to offer an explanation.
Trump's toothless response to censorship eventually led to Twitter banning his account after the January 6 Capitol riot – while he was still the sitting president – and the other Big Tech platforms following suit. Not only is he banned from having an account, but others interviewing him will get censored for daring to broadcast his
"voice."

Showing grit on TV is not the same as taking on silicon valley/big tech in real life, especially when you're the president. So who is really "tech-savvey" anyway? And who needs to be when you have billions to spend? Have we been duped by everyone? Yes, all very "strange".
That Trump is struggling to find a new platform shows how strong Big Tech's monopoly is

Like me, you may have no love for Donald Trump and think Silicon Valley was right to give him the boot, but the fact that a former president, a genius self-publicist, cannot even get a blog off the ground is a little odd. Donald Trump's spokesperson announced on Wednesday that the former president's blog – a space where he shared statements after being banned from the major social media platforms –
was to be permanently shut down, presumably because it failed bigly to gain traction. Trump's team has hinted that he may join another platform willing to host him,
or develop his own network, but those will likely not have anything like the reach of his infamous Twitter account.
Trump is not the most tech-savvy person in the world, and has surrounded himself with a host of unremarkable people, so one might be tempted to say that it should come as no surprise that he was an unsuccessful blogger.
But he's a former president, he has a huge following and, if nothing else, is great at selling himself, so the fact he couldn't get this off the ground in any meaningful way is strange. Read more ...

Give me a fraction of Trump's cash, and I could make CREATIVITY a nation of its own with the dedicated tech to make CREATIVITY a dominant force across the WHITE WORLD.
Yes, I'm "tech-savvey". And I have a very particular set of skills. I know what I can do and I've said as much already. Trump is different. He's a fraud; always was. All he ever was, was a stopgap. Something putting off the inevitable Racial Bloody War for another few years until more White Folk Awake - so we have to kill and hang fewer Race-Traitors in the Bloody Civil War and Victorious White Revolution to come.
