Nigeria's #TwitterBan: Any Blessings At All in Disguise?

Against all odds, the Nigeria government have proved true to their words to ban Nigerians from using the micro-blogging platform Twitter, and this restriction has remained in force for weeks now. No resident on Nigerian soil can access Twitter services normally. The control of data access is with the telcos and that's where that ban/restriction has been placed.
To bypass that restriction, many on Nigerian soil have resorted to using VPNs which mask their true origins and identities to access the platform.
LOSSES!
It is undeniable even to a mad man that this restriction will cause losses (in business and money) to many Nigerians whose businesses run solely on that platform. Some rely on such platforms for advertising, for transactions, for customers support, marketing and communications and community building.
The loss cannot be quantified fully yet. This, sadly, we must acknowledge. It's a big loss of investment to many. Many can only hope the ban is lifted soon.
Similarly, many bodies and citizens have cried out stating that the ban is a direct infringement of fundamental human rights of the Nigerian citizens to interact and communicate. Well, the arguments and legal fights are ongoing.
Be that as it may, my question today is:
While yes there are undeniable demerits in the ban action, could there be any benefits, no matter how little, in Nigerians' inability to access Twitter?
Any one? No matter how small.

Some claim the youths don't use Twitter for good. That's big lie. If you see the number of youths advertising their products for free and launching new ones on the TLs, you will be motivated.
So, the ban is just bad bad bad for business!
