The reason is that nigeria has no light, high level of corruption, kidnappings, terrorism, and even the poor pay for what they don't use, this country dey very big but our leaders get small sense,we have people's in nigeria with better degrees but have no jobs, a country were a President uses a school certificate to emerge as a President, is a big capital SHAME to nigeria and we the people of nigeria because some of you don't know your right, 5000 naira , and you vote for someone who don't even know how to speak good english, and you want the country to move forward, is a capital NO, untill una go get sense before this country go move forward, una go carry person way graduate from sokoto abi kaduna or even lagos to become president forge result come throway the person way graduate from oxford university, and una want make this country move forward, chai, I dey cry for this country,may God save us all , Amen.

Hmm Buhari has finished this country ,Nigeria has more internet user than almost the whole of africa combined but because of Buharis very poor leadership Twitter has no choice than to go to ghana that doesn't even have as much internet users as Borno state .... Can we blame twitter? I mean people cant even get sim cards to buy in NIGERIA..I mean even Wizkid lives in ghana now
What's his point, so Nigeria should stop trying to develop a well established database just because some expat can't get Sim card? Yo fvck off.

It’s all politically influenced..

And it cause Ghana is still dancing to USA tune..

U still Dey dream? Na because Naija leaders and their policies nor stable them fit wake up one morning and announce one yeye policy to frustrate your business. Very soon most Nigeria companies especially start ups go carry their head quarters to other Africa countries because of the greed and wickedness of our leaders. You know see say CBN don’t banned fintech companies from using BVM service because them not support banks during the banks vs MTn wahala?

INFERIORITY COMPLEX BRIGADE HAVE COME OUT IN FULL FORCE.

EVERYTHING ON EARTH MUST BE HEADQUARTERED IN NIGERIA, OTHERWISE IT MEANS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH NIGERIA.

YOU PEOPLE ARE PATHETIC, IGNORANT, STUPID, AND DISGUSTING IN THE EXTREME.

WHEN SOME COMPANY LOCATES IT'S AFRICAN HEADQUARTERS IN NIGERIA, AS MANY HAVE DONE, YOU DON'T NOTICE.

BUT THE MINUTE ANY COMPANY FAILS TO DO SO, IT'S ''OH WE ARE USELESS! OH BUHARI! OH NIGERIA IS FINISHED''.

AFRICA HAS 54 COUNTRIES.

MOST OF YOU CAN'T EVEN NAME 15 OF THEM.

TOO DUMB AND STUPID TO KNOW OR CARE.

OH SURE, THE WHOLE WORLD MUST IGNORE ALL THOSE COUNTRIES AND BASE EVERYTHING IN NIGERIA ALONE.

WHY?

ARE YOU PEOPLE STUPID?

ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS FEEDING YOUR INFERIORITY COMPLEX THAT SAYS IF YOU ARE NOT THE CENTRE OF EVERYONE'S ATTRACTION, IT MEANS YOU ARE DEFICIENT.

DISGUSTING, HOPELESS, USELESS, SENSELESS, PATHETIC PEOPLE.

SPIT.



Refreshing view. Every company must not set up in Nigeria. If we are to go by the logic displayed by many here, then South Africa, Egypt, Rwanda, Ethiopia and other such countries should be berating themselves because Twitter did not set up shop in their countries.

Facebook will set up in Nigeria this year while Google and other Tech companies already have presence in Nigeria. We have the largest market, largest pool of tech professionals and talent and surely policy development is slow but is catching up. Countries have peculiar challenges, ours is no different.

Nigeria is the market, Nigeria has the target market now imagine for a company to ignore the larger market for a lesser market tells you just how stupid our leaders are, zero sense, zero leadership quality zero patrotism, just greed, wickedness, and looting and embezzlement, guess the world also sees what some sane nigerians see, I like the fact that the Ghanaian president is actively involved in talking to investors, here our own jihadist, lifeless president is in London for medical tourism yet the idiot said he is resting, how can you he be resting when he hasn't done anything meaningful in his entire life.

I hope a day comes when we no longer blame the government for things like this. Our grandparents did, so did our parents, it never ends, If Nigerians can collectively raise millions of dollars for Endsars. It shows we are able to help ourselves. When we are ready!

If they refuse to provide employment opportunities for Nigerians then we should reduce demand for their services. I suggest a twitter boycott for this.

Had to say that first just so its known.

My people, we don hear? Mr Twitter invested where he can get berra return on his money and Ghana will not share with cattle in zoos! Chief Zebrudaya will say "Go and to be building our own whatever it takes to get whatever is bigger than twitter!", after all we are the Giants.

Pyhonist:

If you like get your skills from heaven. You think Ghanian govt is as stupid as yours? establish a company in country and fill it with citizens of another...such can only be accepted by Nigerians...so stupid.

I'm not saying you can't get a job there but 99.99% of the job goes the Ghanians, afterall they created the enabling environment. Unfortunately for you, they have the skill and Twitter management actually considered that before the big decision.

udomonday:
Nigeria is a joke of a country.in the next couple of years Ghana will be Africa's giant.while Nigeria will turn to Africa's cess pit.

babadee1:


Ghana will not agree to that and rightly so. If Nigeria wants the jobs then they should create the proper infrastructure and right environment. We cannot expect to reap where we did not sow.
redcliff:


stupid talk. Na ghana no get the individual skills too? Nigeria's political/economic situation it tooooooooooooooo unstable to host anything. Its such a pity

CSTRR:

Twitter is not choosing Ghana for the infrastructure.

Infact Nigeria has a much more advanced tech ecosystem than Ghana, most of which was built by the Nigerian Private sectors.

Twitter chose Ghana because it has a progressive govt with stable policy system.

President akufo addo has a world-class team.

At this rate, If we don't start electing progressive govts, we would lose it all to Ghana.

Saying someone has a low IQ doesn't in any way make your statement reasonable or more right.

Keep your Partisanship aside and reason like a person with basic sense.

People buy registered SIM everywhere, where can I buy NIN again. If you can see the bigger picture or how integrated this project is going to be towards getting a substantial centralised system then I don't know what to tell.

We are working on solving a bigger issue and you are here talking about investment by some expat, how much are they bringing in comparison to what a centralised database system would help us achieve as a nation.

Comparing a registered sim data system with NIN is not only stupid but lazy thinking.

If you had any cell in your brain you will know the govt can link both database without all the drama it has caused .there is absolutely no need to tell people to link their NIN to their phone numbers themselves if not shallow thinking and mischief .....this linking could have cross done quietly at the background either from the the NCC database or the NIMC database using which database most consistent as the fulcrum database but low IQed simps like you can never know this ..abeg just gerrout I don't have time to waste with sub humans
