Keep Tweeting! PDP caucus in the National Assembly tell Nigerians
For Online PR / Hype / Music Promotion Call 08074130688
The PDP caucus of the National Assembly has asked Nigerians to ignore the ban by the Federal government and continue using their Twitter accounts as they will not be contravening any known law in the country or any international statute.
In a statement jointly signed by Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, the minority leader of the Senate and Honourable Ndudi Elumelu, the minority leader of the House of Representatives, the PDP caucus argued that the ban on Twitter favours criminal and terrorist elements, whose activities fester in an environment of suppressed information flow. They described the ban as draconian and unacceptable.
The statement in part reads
“The Joint Minority Caucus dismisses threats by the APC-led government to arrest and prosecute Nigerians using Twitter and calls on Nigerians to go ahead and use their Twitter as they would not be contravening any law in Nigeria or any international statute,” the joint caucus said in the statement.
The Joint Minority Caucus recognizes the provisions of Articles 19 and 20 of the United Nations Charter on Fundamental Human Rights, which Nigeria is a signatory to, as well as provisions of Sections 39 and 36 (12) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), and notes that by these provisions no one will be violating any law for using Twitter in Nigeria.
As lawmakers, the Joint Caucus is pained by the anguish Nigerians, especially the youths, who find the use of Twitter as a means of livelihood and genuine social interaction, are passing through just because the APC-led Federal Government feels slighted that an individual’s post, was deleted by Twitter for ethic violation.
The joint caucus, therefore, call on Nigerians to use various opportunities offered by technology and continue making use of Twitter since such does not violate any law in our country.
It is agonizing that Nigeria and Nigerians have been losing billions of naira on daily basis since the ban on Twitter. This is completely unacceptable as it is worsening the already biting economic hardship and frightening unemployment level in the country.
Moreover, the ban on Twitter in Nigeria appears to be in favour of criminal and terrorist elements, whose activities fester in an environment of suppressed information flow.
The Joint Minority Caucus sympathizes with the organized private sector, manufacturing and service providing companies, small and medium enterprises, online businesses owners and other hardworking entrepreneurs across the country, whose genuine business and means of livelihood have been crippled by the unwarranted ban on Twitter by the APC federal government.
It also identifies with our students, research-based organization, media houses, the organized civil society, faith-based organizations, community groups among others, whose information-based activities have been violently disrupted by the ban.
In the same vein, the Joint Caucus sympathizes with regional, states, local government as well as members of the international community, whose genuine and constructive activities have been crippled by the prohibition of twitter in Nigeria
It also identifies with traditional rulers, who have even found Twitter as a means of communicating with the constituents, especially in this era of insecurity in the country.
“The Joint Caucus vehemently berates the APC-led government for abandoning its duty of addressing the serious economic and security problems confronting our nation to rather focus on dissipating energy victimizing Nigerians over their disagreement with Twitter for deleting a post by an individual.”
The Caucus counsels the Federal Government to swallow its pride, accept its misdoing and go and settle whatever issue it has with Twitter instead of this resort to inflicting pains on Nigerians.

A swanky London steakhouse is facing backlash over its introduction of charges for tablecloths
and napkins.
Diners at the London Steakhouse restaurant, which
was opened by celebrity chef Marco Pierre White in 2008,
are now expected to fork out an additional cover of £1.50
per person.
The restaurant, located near Liverpool Street train station, has stated that this will be
a fixed fee ‘to cover the cost of table linen and napkins’,
with a discretionary service charge of 9.5 per cent also appearing on bills.
Industry experts have cautioned though that this could be just the start of restaurants seeking more ‘innovative’ ways
to raise additional revenue from customers.
Off the back of the government’s autumn budget which
saw both the minimum wage and national insurance rates increase, restauranteurs have been warning
that prices must rise for them to be able to foot the bill.
From April, the national minimum wage will increase by
6.7 per cent to £12.21 per hour, with employer’s NI charges to jump by 1.2 per cent.
Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch has previously claimed
the national minimum wage is detrimental to British businesses, and told this year’s Tory conference that it
was ‘over-burdening’ many small enterprises.
The London Steakhouse appears to be reacting proactively to its impending expenditure increases, through both the tablecloth and napkin fee along with a host
of other charges.

Would you pay for the napkin fee?

The charges for the linen are displayed on the restaurant’s à la carte menu,
with the set menus seeing additional charges such as a £1
head cover fee.
A 12.5 per cent service charge is also added to set menu bills, as the self-proclaimed ‘linen-topped table dining’ establishment seemingly seeks more ways to
charge patrons.
The cover charge concept is one which is standard practice in many places around Europe, particularly in Italy where the ‘coperto’
charge covers table linen and bread.
Cover charges are becoming ever more prevalent in the UK, with Harrdos also recently jumping
on the trend and implementing a £1 levy at its London eateries.
Other charges laid out on the London Steakhouse’s website include a £10 fee for booking certain set menus over two days in advance.
This fee is not considered as a deposit by the restaurant and
is not credited from your final bill, but rather a charge simply allowing you to make your reservation.
Consumer specialist Jane Hawkes told the Telegraph that
the introduction of such fees is unfair on diners and that customers should
be made to feel valued by businesses, rather than ‘bamboozled’.
One potential unintended consequence of these fee introductions is that patrons
will feel less obliged to pay service charges or leave behind tips.
Despite new legislation coming into effect in October which ensures staff receive
equal distribution of tips, industry expert Ms Hawkes says that this may prove to be
redundant if fee gouging persists.
The London Steakhouse restaurant has been approached by the MailOnline for comment.
