Actress Yvonne Nelson has reacted to the recent happenings in Nigeria where the Government have indicated that the existence of the social media platform(twitter) will affect the corporate image of the Country and within the coffers of Africa. She said that in the continent, the leaders are chiefly responsible for the hardship and challenges the citizens face.
Taking to her Twitter page, she wrote “…well In africa, its our politicians who do the killing… with Hunger , poor health systems, lack of potable water, poor road networks, etc. they don’t even have to touch you… their policies and greed will. They don’t kill with guns!”
“The POWER of social media! It scares them! With all their power,” she said via Twitter.
This comes after the Federal Republic Of Nigeria has issued a statement to the effect that Twitter has been banned indefinitely in Nigeria.
Actress Yvonne Nelson has indicated that there is the need to put social media to good use by the youth. She notes that the platform presented has given the youth a voice that is feared by Politicians across the length and breadth of the globe.
