President Buhari, VP Osibanjo and Zuckerberg |
There are wild
jubilation among Biafrans on social media amidst report that their Radio Biafra
London (RBL) facebook page, which was taken down 7 days ago by the facebook
management in connivance with the Nigerian government, has been restored. See
the report here: (Mark Zuckerberg Takes Down Radio Biafra London Facebook Page).
According to CNN Money, the Facebook founder
suffered a $3 billion loss in the value of his Facebook stock on Thursday, one
of the largest single-day losses ever for an individual investor.
Facebook (FB, Tech30) shares
plunged 5.5% after the chief financial officer warned investors
that the company expects revenue growth from advertising to "come down
meaningfully."
Biafrans in their website, The Biafran Times, announced thus:
“This is to announce
that Radio Biafra London facebook account has been restored spome minutes ago….
We Biafrans are very
certain that it is the spirit of Biafra that is the cause of his misfortune,
having compromised and violatedfreedom of speech and expression of Biafrans by
suspending an account that has almost 1 million members for no just cause, and
the major channel via which the plight of Biafrans is passed across the world.”
It will be recalled
that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), the administrators of the RBL facebook
page, had warned Mark Zuckerberg sternly over an impending doom in his business
for his perceived role in blocking the facebook page.
They reminded him of
how he lost $200 million the day he visited Nigeria, to strike the deal with
President Buhari who had sworn to deal ruthlessly with Biafran agitators, assuring
him that Biafra is a spirit and that those who fight her does so to his or her
own peril.
They also told
Zuckerberg how a satellite company in Isreal mysteriously lost their satellite
in the space few days after breaching a broadcasting contract with them, having
being heavily bribed by the Nigerian government.
