Unpicking Twitter boss s passion for Nigeria © Getty Images Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is no stranger to controversy but in Nigeria he has become embroiled in the battle between the country s tech-savvy youths and a ruling class that is seen to be out-of-touch with their thinking. His Twitter platform was used to galvanise support for last year s #EndSars protests, which began as a movement against police brutality and morphed into a confrontation between the political class and Nigeria s youth. But Twitter is now blocked in the country after a recent tweet by President Muhammadu Buhari, 78, was deleted. Many Nigerians adore Mr Dorsey. His ideals of open internet, freedom of expression and economic rights resonate with those who feel marginalised by their government.
