Nigerian singer and songwriter, Praiz has
pleaded with the world not to judge an
average Nigerian intelligence based on the
Tweets of Nigerian leaders.
His Plea came in hours after Twitter CEO
deleted President Buhari’s Genocidal tweets.
On the 1st of June, the President of Nigeria,
Muhammadu Buhari while addressing the
recent vandalism and destruction of properties
in the southeast said,
“ Many of those misbehaving today are too
young to be aware of the destruction and loss
of lives that occurred during the Nigerian Civil
War. Those of us in the fields for 30 months,
who went through the war, will treat them in the
language they understand .”
His civil war tweet caused a stir on social
media and Nigerians took to Twitter to report
his Twitter handle. They diligently tagged Jack
Dorwsy, The CEO of Twitter to take down
Buhari’s Twitter account for good. Their pleas
were partially heard as Twitter deleted His
‘civil war’ tweet on the basis of “was in
violation of the Twitter rules”.
However, after Buhari’s tweet was deleted,
Mai Mohammed, the Minister of Information
came out and accused Twitter of not being
clear in its standard for deleting tweets.
According to him, Twitter activity in Nigeria is
very suspicious and should be reviewed.
Reacting to this, Praiz took to his Twitter
account to plead with the world not to Judge
Nigerians based on the words our leaders
utter. According to him, Nigerians were also
baffled with the speech, but couldn’t do much
about it.

Dear World ?, the speech of my country’s
leaders does not represent the intelligence of
the Nigerian youth and more … we are baffled
too ????
