President Muhammadu Buhari said Friday that Twitter must meet the Nigerian government’s five conditions before the suspension of the social media platform will be lifted. Mr Buhari said this during his televised broadcast on Friday to mark Nigeria’s 61st independence anniversary. He listed the conditions to include the fact that Twitter must pay attention to national security and cohesion; registration, physical presence and representation in Nigeria; dispute resolution and local content. I have directed that the suspension be lifted but only if the conditions are met, the Nigerian leader said. The Nigerian government suspended Twitter’s operations in June after the social media network deleted a controversial tweet by President Buhari.

The information minister, Lai Mohammed, recently said Twitter was already meeting a lot of the demands by the Nigerian government and the suspension will be lifted soon.

Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has torched Twitch powerbrokers for their newly unveiled boosting feature, claiming the latest addition to Amazon’s streaming website ⁠is not much better than view-botting, and is “quite possibly the dumbest sh*t I’ve ever had the displeasure of putting my eyes on.” In the past few months, Twitch has slowly been dripping out new website features, with their new invention ⁠— a stream “boosting” feature ⁠— the latest to be unveiled. The new feature allows fans to boost a content creator’s channel discoverability via monetary donations, and so far, streamers have been less than impressed. Some have already dubbed it Twitch’s latest “pay-to-win” feature, and many are furious over the fact that real money can “let the rich get richer.” One big name has already weighed in too: xQc hates the idea. “This has to be the worst idea I’ve ever seen in my life,” he proclaimed. “Quite possibly the dumbest shit I have ever had the displeasure of putting my eyes on.” Twitch: xQcLet’s just saying xQc isn’t too sold on Twitch’s new boosting feature. The main problem, xQc continued, is that the feature is basically “view-botting,” allowing streamers to bypass the need for exciting content. Instead,…
