On Thursday night, Nigerians experience a Twitter outage.

But it quickly emerged that it was a global issue caused by a system change.

According to Twitter Support, “most of you should be back to Tweeting. The outage was caused by a system change initiated earlier then planned, affecting most of our servers.

“We’re working hard to bring Twitter back to normal and expect things to be fully resolved in 1-2 hours. We appreciate your patience.”

What is, however, noticeable is that the #EndSARS hashtag now has an emoji, with the country’s green and white colours.
