This oyibo people get sense. They know that nigeria is cursed

2020 also showed the Big Four countries’ preponderance in terms of investment destination, at least in two out of the three reports.

The countries remained unchanged on Partech’s top five as Nigeria remained the VC’s top destination with $307 million

Thank God for the criminals because we are the best and the most powerful TECH GIANT in Africa.

To God be the glory.

You are wrong, especially if as you just asserted that twitter-based their decision on being more democratic which is BS, I already posted articles by the US government and media practitioners in Ghana stating the opposite.

Twitter can dance around and offer whatever narratives suit twitter, but the facts on the ground remain the same and in some cases worse than Nigeria.

Twitter knowing for a fact that more powerful TECH giants and conglomerates like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft are already established in Nigeria with a huge headstart and presence so they settled for Gnana to aoid facing and competing with Google, Facebook, and Microsoft.


Of what relevance is Twitter renting office space in Ghana to Nigeria? Of what relevance? We remain the BIG TECH GIANT in the whole of Africa.

Go and read Twitter's double talk press release.

Twitter is renting an office in Ghana and hiring 11 small people to work from home and their main objective is Nigeria and the Nigerian marketplace.

Whatever Twitter is doing in Ghana means economic/GDP boost in Nigeria and further solidification of our leade and dominance.

Ghana is not even anywhere near us or even 20 spaces near us when it comes to TECH.

Our TECH space in Nigeria is already saturated with the major players, our TECH companies collected 17% of TECH funding in the whole of Africa.

3 out of the 4 Unicon startups in Africa are here in Nigeria, not in SA, not in Kenya and definitely not in Ghana, but here in Nigeria so what is Twitter renting an office in Ghana going to do to us?

Let's get real abeg..

You're either clueless or delusional. You thought the useless analogue "leaders" we have made it happen?

And I can bet there are 1000 more articles from the same US practitioners condemning NIgeria for undemocratic practices. So just because Ghana isn't 100% doesn't mean they are not more democratic than Nigeria...


And BTW Twiiter's market is a niche of its own, Those that use Twitter use it for a different function than Facebook or Instagram (Its not like Telegram VS Whatsapp who provide the same functionality) ... So twitter is not in competition with them... And for Microsoft and Google, these are enablers of twitter so these companies are not in competition with twitter. Infact, Google and Microsoft probably want you to use Twitter cause they know you have to go through them to get to Twitter.



Whether you like it or not, Ghana is one of if not the most democratic country in Africa, And twitter said this was their main reason for setting up their African base there, Now you can go on and on about Nigeria being a Tech giant, and yes, Even twitter says it will be targeting Nigeria for that reason, but there is a big difference between Setting up your physical HQ and targeting a market which brings the most profits through online/virtual means. Twitter could still target the Nigerian market from the US , they don't need to be in Nigeria for that.... But for twitter to make a long time investment in physical presence, they need stable electricity, High speed internet, Political stability, Ease of starting a business , Investor friendly laws.... Things that Ghana far outpaces Nigeria.
Don't think the Nigerian government was not mad with Twitter over the #EndSARS global campaign, Infact, it is said the Nigerian government was successful in pressuring Facebook and Instagram to suppress the hashtags but on twitter, the hashtag ran wild. So while Twitter loves the Nigerian fans, they are not ready to have the government of the day try to muzzle them everytime some hashtag doesn't please the government. So they chose a country that doesn't make much noise with things like these.

I guess you need the crying more than me bro.

To begin with, I don't even give a damn about where any foreign organization choose to establish their headquarters if they feel that's the best place for their business. So, I think all the noise about twitter's choice of headquarters amounts to making mountain out of molehill.

I also believe it's twitter that's losing anyway as Nigerians are the most talented, creative, hardworking and ambitious people in Africa and these are qualities that could take twitter to even greater heights.

Lastly, I am more interested in Africa becoming a center of technological innovations instead of waiting for foreign tech giants to come to us.

I prefer Nigerians to create a platform that can compete successfully with twitter rather than imagining that they are being snubbed by twitter.
