Buhari/Mamman Daura Told Facebook and Twitter to Take Down Video of Mamman Daura Celebrating Birthday in London–THREAD
The Buhari/Mamman Daura government has managed to persuade Facebook and Twitter that the video I shared of the children, grandchildren, in-laws, and Nigerian government officials (including a senator and a minister) celebrating Mamman Daura’s 80th birthday at a pricey London hotel was “private media.”
They both took it down. But scores of people have also shared it on these platforms. Are they taking the video down from the timelines of everyone who shared it? Or am I the only one they’re worried about?
Will the Buhari/Mamman Daura people also persuade YouTube and WhatsApp to take down the video? Will they ask Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, etc. to take down the video from millions of computers & phones?
Why are they embarrassed by the video? They haven’t realized that by this action they’ve made the video even more popular. The forbidden fruit, they say, tastes the sweetest. These Buhari/Mamman Daura folks obviously have the IQ of their shoe sizes.
Hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, of people have already seen, shared, and downloaded the video. Only imbeciles lock the barn door after the horse has bolted.
