Nigerian-South African singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist Akauveh Erumena Glenn popularly known as Glenn Mena, has reacted to the indefinite suspension of Twitter in Nigeria.

Twitter found itself on the wrong side of the Nigerian government when it removed a tweet by President Muhammadu Buhari sounding off on the country’s troubled security situation.

Lai Mohammed, minister of information, had announced the suspension of Twitter on Friday, 4th of June, 2021 citing the “persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence”.

Twitter’s suspension has since elicited a wave of reactions from entertainers engaging with the Nigerian creative industry.

Reacting to the development, Glenn Mena, said the decision will mostly affect Nigeria and her citizens especially youths.

In his words; “Nigeria is already losing out. We are not where we are supposed to be yet our government focus on the lighter issues and left the real threats that is pulling the country down.

“You banned Twitter, how is that going to stop kidnapping, armed robbery, and terrorism? The country is becoming unsafe day by day. Instead of assuring us that things will get better, you are planning to silent us.

“You attack peaceful protesters. You ban cryptocurrency, now you ban Twitter. This government is out of touch with the plight of young people,” he added.

Glenn who is currently based in South Africa is from Isoko South Local government in Delta state. He grew up in Warri where he started off as an instrumentalist.

He started his music career in 2009 & created a buzz with his hit single “Movement” in 2012. Glenn is a graduate of Business Administration from Lead City University, Ibadan.

After the release of his freestyle single “Sound it” which was shot at Oniru leisure beach, Lagos island; Glenn follows up with his second video titled ‘Packaging’ shot in Dubai and released under the new Mask&Music outfit.

More to come from Glenn as he gradually evolves in his musical journey.
