  1. Why can’t our leaders be ashamed for once, what concerns Twitter about the situation on ground? #endsars are demanding for justice and you are now sue Twitter, that is your headache Sha.

  2. How is he going to appear in court when he realizes that the suit that he filed is meaningless. The lawyers just want to collect their own Share.

  3. Does Garba think Twitter is operating only in Nigeria? Go ahead and shut it down and be operating the one you established.

  4. How would he appear in court? When he is dump and deaf that can’t interpret the current situation in Nigeria because if he can, he won’t take that step.

  5. Who is Adamu Garba, I don’t think i know him
    Please tell him to go and use his time for more important issues instead of being stupid

  6. I think people should be happy for this, because to me it’s a Case he can never and ever win instead he will end up being a scapegoat for their tyranny
