How to open and access Twitter in Nigeria with VPN after government ban on the App

The Nigerian government has indefinitely banned the popular social media platform Twitter in the country. The ban came just few days after Twitter deleted one of the president Muhammad Buhari's tweet for instigating violence and going against the company's policy.

In retaliation, the government has decided to suspend Twitter indefinitely in the country. This means that if you are in Nigeria, you won't be able to access the Twitter website or App.

Good news however is that there is a workaround for this and it's called VPN. With VPN, you can easily mask your ISP and make it seem like you are browsing from a different country. This means that your Nigeria Internet Service Providers like Glo, MTN, Etisalat and Airtel won't be able to detect your IP and you will be able to access blocked websites and Apps like Twitter.

There are a whole lot of free, as well as paid VPN Apps for both Android and iOS (iPhone) devices. I have listed a couple of the free VPNs below.

Below is a list of free VPN apps that will allow you to access Twitter in Nigeria. The download links to each of the listed VPN apps are also provided. Just install any one of your choice, select any location on the App and connect.
