Nigerian afropop artist, Joeboy, has revealed that there is a lack of excitement In Nigeria’s social media space following the ban of the popular microblogging platform, Twitter, by the government of Nigeria.
Joeboy, speaking in an interview with Citi FM’s A. J. Sarpong, explained that the once-vibrant Twitter-Naija has never been the same after the federal government restrictions were enforced.
He said some bloggers, in a bid to dodge the restrictions, resorted to the use of virtual private networks (VPN), but that has proven to be nothing compares to the times before the ban.
On June 5, 2021, Twitter Naija was hit with a heavy blow as the micro-blogging site was banned indefinitely by the Nigerian government after a tweet by the country’s president, Muhammadu Buhari was deleted and his account suspended for posting a message the site considered threatening and a violation to its community standards.
