EFFECT OF TWITTER BAN ON THE ECONOMY OF NIGERIA
EFFECT OF TWITTER BAN ON THE ECONOMY OF NIGERIA
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background Of The Study
The introduction of the internet has revolutionized the way
we interact with people as well as in the process of sharing information and
knowledge (Sobowale, Amodu, Aririguzoh, and Ekanem, 2015). According to Oyero
(2007), the internet has had a significant impact on society, commerce
(businesses), and government.Significantly, the internet through social media
has enhanced socio-economic growth and development in both developed nations
and developing countries. According to Amodu (2008), the introduction of ICTs
in any community or nation generally engenders unpresented levels of
transformation.
Oso (2011) pinpointed that one of the requisite of the social
media is the view that they are seen as the strategic tool for economic
advancement, that is they can contribute to cultural, human, social, political
and economic development of a nation. Among these social media outlets who
facilitate development in an economy is the twitter.
Twitter is a platform for acquiring knowledge, attaining
information and enabling communication between people. This has helped human
lives in numerous ways. Twitter is seen as a market place for ideas and
creativity (Danbatta, 2017). The implication of twitter on humans and the
society has gone beyond the exchange of information but has become a powerful
communicative force in politics, economy, religion and educational realms of
the society (Onyejelem, Ude-Akpeh & Uduma, 2015).
For businesses to experience growth, expansion and revenue,
they need to engage in communication ads to gain existing and new customers.
That is, they need brand awareness and development to reach potential customers
and one way to achieve this is through the use of social media platforms. The
twitter to this end has been essentially used by corporate and non corporate
businesses in Nigeria for carrying out operational activities which has led to
the growth and development of those businesses.
Twitter has also served as a source of income for many Nigerian youths
who carry out one economic activity or the other on the platform. More so, the
presence of Twitter in Nigeria has in the past years encouraged foreign
investment in the country.
However, as at 5th June 2021, Nigeria joined other countries
in the suspension of Twitter operations in its own country. Following the
indefinite suspension of Twitter on 5th June 2021 in Nigeria by the Federal
Government and as announced by the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, global voices have reacted in varied ways concerning the implications
such a ban could have on the country’s fledgling economy (Vanguard news.com).
Hence, the unforeseen economic implications of this erratic decision by the
Nigerian Government instigated this study. This study therefore seeks to
investigate and examine the effect of the Twitter ban on the economy of
Nigeria.
1.2 Statement Of The Problem
Highlighting the implications of the Twitter ban in Nigeria,
the suspension is assumed to come with its own different negative impacts on an
economy that is currently struggling to find its bearing (Vanguard, 2021).
According to the online newspaper, "The ripple effect of the ban will
impact economic activities, some of which are sources of income for millions of
young Nigerians. The suspension will also affect online news platforms that leverage
Twitter to extend their reach and bring news closer to the people. " For
telecoms, the suspension will result in a dip in data revenue as Twitter
remains one of the most popular social media platforms in Nigeria. It further
stated that the platform has provided employment opportunities for young
Nigerians. "The popularity of the social media platform has seen a growing
number of young Nigerian influencers who are often recruited by public
relations companies to promote brands. Hence the suspension of Twitter will
halt their sources of income and also affect the reach of these brands."
aside from the above mentioned sectors affected by the suspension of Twitter in
Nigeria, other essential sectors are likely to be affected by this execution.
Hence this form the bases for this study.
1.3 Objective Of The Study

of twitter ban on the economy of Nigeria; below at the enlisted specific
