 A cross-section of Nigerians have reacted with mingled relief and indifference to the government's decision to lift the ban on Twitter. They said nothing was really missed on the social media platform as many Nigerians state connected via virtual private networks VPN. The government had said that the US social media giant had agreed to establish a local office among other conditions set by the West African nation which led to the lifting of the ban. Twitter said it was pleased with its restoration in Nigeria and was deeply committed to the country. It did really change so much for my social life because I was still able to interact with a lot of people on Twitter who were using VPN. The challenge I would say was that there's also a significant number of people who felt reluctant to use VPN so probably didn't know how to go about it because they are also tech-savvy and others were maybe scared that if you see them with the VPN police might harass you know and all that so there's a group of people who were alienated because of the ban. And so it wasn't a complete community like it was prior to the ban. To me I am really happy about it because I saw it last night and I must say I was really happy about it. Most of us have been using VPN. It did really stop most of us from treating but we were treating with fear you know but now we can treat freely and we can hear our voice freely and I just feel our voice have been giving back to us. I'm not happy neither am I excited for them uplifting the ban because Twitter in time past it has helped so many people to advertise their businesses so what's the need of lifting the ban when they've already caused so many damages to people's business so me I'm not excited and some persons are not so excited.
