Let's not side with Buhari on this one, as he is both symptom and cause of Nigeria's current death throes. The country is a tragic example of what happens if you let Muslims gain a majority.

We're siding with him responding correctly to Twitter trying to undermine the country it's operating in. That's IT.

He is the one undermining the country. He was elected by the shithole half of the country that is currently murdering the decent half.

Sometimes there are no good guys in a situation. However, sometimes there are good things that can come from a situation where there are no good guys.

In this situation, where there are no good guys, Twitter being banned is a good thing.

You don't understand. We're SPECIFICALLY talking about the response to Twitter. That's IT.

His response to Twitter censoring a genocidal sociopath's threat to commit another genocide. If Stalin was still alive and suspended Twitter because they censored his threat to commit another Holodomor, I wouldn't be cheering him on.

I wouldn't side with him, but I would say that this is Twitter (and the American left in general) reaping what they sow with regards to freedom of speech. They've left themselves in no position to lecture anyone about it.

I think I speak with everyone laughing at Twitter here when I say that broken clocks, no matter how busted they are, they are stjll right twice a day.

In other words, 99% of what the guy does is shit, but that 1% deserves a little bit of praise.
