According to statista, Twitter, the microblogging platform lost 2bn since the ban on twitter from June 4, by the nigeria federal Government.
According to Statista twitter loses 32,460,000 in a day, which accumulated to 2bn since the ban on June 4.
The NCC had sent a memo to Mobile Network Operators and Internet Service Providers to block access to Twitter for the ban imposed by the Federal Government to take effect.
“Depending on the technology deployed, there might be loopholes. A problem could be as regards implementation. It can create a loophole, a human error.
The Federal Government indefinitely banned Twitter on June 4; days after the microblogging site deleted a tweet by the President, President Muhammadu Buhari which twitter claimed violated its rules.
The Federal Government had since told a Federal High Court in Lagos; that it had not stopped Nigerians from using Twitter.
The President set up a committee consisting of five ministers to negotiate with Twitter; with the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, as the head of the committee.
Recently Mohammed announced that the committee negotiating with Twitter would soon arrive at an agreement.
He had said, “Everything will be ironed out with Twitter; within a few days or weeks.”
One of the conditions set by the government for lifting the ban is that Twitter should register with the Companies and Allied Matters Act; and establish a physical presence in Nigeria.
According to Statista, Nigeria has about 33 million active social media users; with about 26 percent on Twitter.
