But what if there is an alternate infrastructure in place that isn’t captured by American imperialist multinationals? Not saying that is the case in Nigeria, but what about the great firewall and all that
It’s not the case in Nigeria so why are you trying to intentionally distract from the issue here, which is government suppressing a popular platform just because Bukhari’s fee-fees got hurt?
Just trying to make conversation really, i disagree with the staking of an absolute position in this matter but probably agree with you in this specific case
Right. A tweet from the president of Nigeria was deleted by an American company. Seems like a bigger deal than some guy getting banned on twitter.
why are you caping so hard for a fucking authoritarian who literally came to power as the result of a military coup. why is everyone on this thread taking crazypills. are there seriously people who think Buhari is a leftist? he isn’t even like a half socdem half Marxist like Xi or some of the CPC people who at least seem to have their nation’s interests at heart. he’s an authoritarian fuckstick who violently suppresses any dissent.
talk to an actual Nigerian for once in your fucking life I swear to god
Except that was in the 1980s and he’s currently in office as the result of elections. The country is also part of Belt and Road.
