Nollywood actor Yemi Solade has been criticized on social media for his Twitter ban remarks, in which he claimed the microblogging platform offended Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
Last Monday, the Federal Government suspended the microblogging platform for allegedly enabling information capable of endangering Nigerians' corporate existence and deleting the president's genocidal tweet.
Many Nigerians, however, have been accessing the network via Virtual Private Network, and the government has pledged to prosecute any who violate the Twitter ban.
In an interview with Goldmyne TV, veteran actor Yemi Solade praised the Buhari administration's action, saying Twitter went too far by disrespecting the President and, by consequence, Nigerians.
According to the actor, though the Twitter ban violated our fundamental human rights, Twitter was not benefiting the country since Nigerian youngsters were always instigating nasty remarks on the government.
A social media commenter lambasted the actor for his insensitive remark, saying he isn't mature enough to recognize that the president violated Twitter policy with his genocidal rant.
