In that tweet on Tuesday, the Nigerian leader threatened to deal with people in the country's southeast

buhari was complicit in the slaughter and disenfrancisement of the inhabitants of the southeast region in the 1960s, and now he runs the country.

though i have reservations about corporate censorship on twitter's part, buhari's threats really should not be taken lightly, whether by his country or by the international community.

if there is a defense of twitter's action, it's that there's is a case to be made that the tweet could perhaps be construed as an indirect incitement to violence, if not simply because of the pogroms his faction presided over during the leadup to the civil war.
