Nigerian Comedian and filmmaker, Bright Okpocha, fondly called Basketmouth has alleged that the Federal Government would soon find excuses to also ban Facebook and Instagram.
He shared this in a video via his Instagram page in response to the suspension of Twitter operations in Nigeria by the government.
According to him, what happened to Twitter was a move to control social media and would not end with Twitter.
Basketmouth said, “Do you know that our leaders are the most straightforward in the world? They’ve been dropping hints about what’s happening now before but we didn’t pay attention then.
“This whole thing will not end with the ban on Twitter. Soon, they would claim that IPOB is using Instagram for their meeting and the next thing you’ll hear is that it has been banned.
“Then the government would shift attention to Facebook that it’s what bandits use to track people’s identities before kidnapping them and thereafter also ban it.
“At that point, they would have banned everything. Twitter is just the first. They’ll soon find excuses to also ban the other social media platforms including TikTok.”
He further alleged that the plan of the Federal Government “is to ban everything so that we won’t be able to communicate with the outside world again.”
Basketmounth is comedian and actor.
