The intent of the Nigerian government was aimed at controlling free speech and limiting the influence of the outside world on the opinion of people regarding government policies.
It's aim however wasn't intended to affect diverse commercial ventures on Twitter, especially brand influencing and business promotion, of which provides means of employment for diverse people who have found a way to monetize social media to their numerous advantages.
However, it seems this wouldn't hold because it is also affecting the money generated by network service providers.
Twitter's shut down would of course have enormous economic effect, but the Nigerian federal government didn't think it would be to this extent. I thought I went on to discuss the political aspect and why this will be crucial to Twitter being unbanned.
