Downdetector had thousands of reports of issues with the social media platform, but Twitter’s own status page claimed “all systems operational.”
While the main Twitter.com domain loaded, many users weren’t able to log into the service or access tweets. Twitter started to come back to life at around 8:40AM ET, with many able to tweet and access the service again.
At 9:10AM ET (Around 2pm Nigerian time) Twitter Support tweeted, “we’re working to get it back up and running for everyone,” but it appears that most people are already connecting again.
Some of you are having issues accessing Twitter and we’re working to get it back up and running for everyone. Thanks for sticking with us.

This is the first major Twitter outage since a series of problems for the social network in February.
The microblogging site was down twice in a week in February, with users unable to access the service in parts of the US due to a “technical bug that was preventing timelines from loading and Tweets from posting.”
