The ban on Twitter by the Nigerian government has been enforced by telecommunication services in the country.
From all indication, no twitter account of any Nigerian is working within the country as at this moment.
The government had in a statement on Friday announced the indefinite suspension of the platform, on the grounds that it is providing its space for separatists to drive their agenda.
Meanwhile, most Nigerians who are Twitter pundits are already using an alternative means to tweet, using the services of Virtual Private Network (VPN) providers as an alternative option to access Twitter and other social media networks
