@davidaugust There would have been no #EndSARS in #Nigeria without it either.
During the recent #NigeriaElections2023 the fact that Elon Musk tweets were strenuously promoted reduced the spread of information about ongoing voter suppression.

"The 2023 general election did not ensure a well-run transparent, and inclusive democratic process as assured by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)."

By selling democracy and governance issues short, London and Washington have inadvertently undermined their countries’ own interests in political stability, peace and security, socio-economic development, good governance, climate resilience, and expanded trade and investment. https://bit.ly/3C5ccry

In the spirit of transparency, other African jurisdictions have livestreamed court proceedings of national importance including election petition matters.
One may therefore conclude that the real motive behind the restriction is a desire to maintain a monopoly over the record of proceedings. This is extremely disturbing for a number of reasons.

@gotofritz @GottaLaff There are some movements that would not have happened, such as #EndSARS in Nigeria. Facebook does not let such things grow unless that are paid for or generate engagement. It can't happen now under Musk's Twitter, and a lot of the rigging and violence during the recent #NigeriaElections2023 did not get as much attention as they should have because #GalaxyBrain put his tweets (and his "friends"') at the top of everyone's feed.

"Voters compared their cellphone photos with the uploaded photos and saw alterations: numbers crossed out and rewritten; some originally written in black ink had been rewritten in blue, some blunderingly whited-out with Tipp-Ex. The election had been not only rigged, but done in such a shoddy, shabby manner that it insulted the intelligence of Nigerians." #NigeriaElections2023 https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/04/nigerias-hollow-democracy/673647/

4. #BolaTinubu was not qualified at the time of the election -

My summary of the complaint:

3. Announced winner not elected by majority of votes -

In his Divine Comedy, Dante wrote,
"Abandon hope all ye who enter here" This is the welcome sign for sinners inexorably reporting at the gates of hell.
Divine Comedy ~ Dante Alighieri (1265 - 1321),
Well may he have written, "Abandon hope all ye who are trapped in APC/Buhari's Nigeria."
But I (we) refuse to take "No Hope" as a given.… …

Whoever said BAT shouldn't win?
Having come to the realization that many Nigerians call good evil and evil good, I had my peace of mind. Because anything is possible under the self-accursed darkness of this Guilty Nation.
If BAT is the one this Guilty (un)Nation wishes on themselves, who dares say no to the wishes of idiots who shamelessly glory in their shame?
But Nigerians are not all idiots.
Or, are they? 👉 https://bit.ly/3EHp60Z

(Some of) our people insist on making asinine political choices. After after, they start blaming America and the West for all their problems. Just imagine that.

Nigerians, pray, "Dear God Almighty, Give Us Not the President We Deserve.”
Nigerians are in for deeper sh*tholes should they get the ruler they rightfully deserve.

The year 2023 elections offer another chance to course-correct. The better route is the promising though less travelled road. Nigerians know this road. Will they take it?
The alternative is to keep squashing their stubborn and willingly blind heads on the windshield of their pathological preference for corrosive leaders.

In other words, our actions are unbreakably linked with our circumstances. Inactions are actions too. You are free to act, or not act, or even act wrongly, but you are not free from not reaping the fruits of the seeds you sowed.
