Apc will not allow twitter to flourish in Nigeria hence they took their business to Ghana where free speech is allowed

I think Damn Nigarrrr has something important to say up there, but I've come to realise nothing works in this country, be like GTA IV .. Just mingle with the rich and get richer, or mingle with the poor and have a poor mindset forever which thereby makes you poor.

I've also come to realise I've got to stop complaining about ever increasing bills, and start thanking God for my ability to pay them.

Crass PDP propaganda. Facebook, Google, Microsoft and other big techs all have offices in Nigeria and they operate without any constraint.

We really need to stop this senseless campaign against our country. Nigeria remains the economic heartbeat of Africa despite all her challenges.

Nigeria has the largest twitter community in Africa, the truth is that we really deserve the twitter HQs here, our government doesn't respect human right at all and that's what is chasing away social media investors. God punish anybody way vote Buhari twice

Located in Ghana but the Market is Nigeria.
Even if they decide to open office in Nigeria obtaining ordinary Sim card will suck all their energy and Nepa will finish them off

Where is the lie? Twitter dodge a bullet because all this scenario mentioned above will surely come to pass had it been they choose Nigeria as a location for their base in Africa.

Pondering how they will manage to avoid all the difficult or unwelcome situation from the government.

When you have people like Adamu Garba in Nigeria politics, social media giants like Twitter will shun Nigeria. His deliberate efforts to sue Twitter for supporting the Endsars protest is one of the reason Twitter refuse to come to Nigeria.

The intentional acts of our politicians and people in government in obstructing Justice, frustrating fundamental human rights will always scare away foreign investors, and the youths seeking employment will be the ones that suffers the most

Politicians will start influencing Twitter. Somebody cannot comment in peace again and risk getting banned just like Facebook.
