Twitter agreed to Nigeria terms,
the ceo was against the idea, but other board member agreed, so he decided to step down.
Man of integrity.
If twitter start its operation back in Nigeria, Use it at your own risk.

I remember telling folks here that Twitter was a loss making company and his tactless way of leaving Twitter Nigeria in the hands of the IPOB terrorists was costly enough to cost him his job. Nigeria was a cashcow and he could have monitored those he left to manage it.
Till date, I still don't know who it was that made Twitter leave the threat by the IPOB terrorists leader to kill our armed forces personnel for days after deleting the post of PMB they considered as inappropriate.
He was completely ignorant of the true events in Nigeria and it's over 1 year now, we are still looking for the true victims of Lekkilies yet his platform was used to spread the fake lies the IPOB terrorists hid behind to burn down Lagos on the instruction of their leader in a viral audio. It took a free tweet that took less than 2 minutes to write and send to bring down a multibillion dollar company: in life it takes extreme hardwork to build but to destroy takes few minutes.

I hope he will learn to carefully select personnel he will leave his business with in strategic places like Nigeria.
It's the ban in Nigeria that brought Twitter down and with it went Jack. The investors could no longer continue with the slow growth in profitability amidst growing competition and nationalism.

You are a Pa now. A Pa should not be behaving recklessly online nau. I don't indulge in exchange of uncouth words.
Twitter as at 2020 (IPOB terrorists attack on Lagos took place in 2020 sir) made a net loss of $1.14 billion (equivalent of approx. half a trillion naira)

Jack Dorsey to Twitter

Hello team.

After almost 16 years of having a role at our company...from co-founder to CEO to Chair to Exec Chair to interim-CEO to CEO...I decided it's finally time for me to leave. Why?
There's a lot of talk about the importance of a company being founder-led. " Ultimately I believe that's severely limiting and a single point of failure. I've worked hard to ensure this company can break away from its founding and founders. There are 3 reasons I believe now is the right time.

The first is Parag becoming our CEO. The board ran a rigorous process considering all options and unanimously appointed Parag. He's been my choice for some time given how deeply he understands the company and its needs. Parag has been behind every critical decision that helped turn this company around. He's curious, probing, rational, creative, demanding, self-aware, and humble. He leads with heart and soul, and is someone I learn from daily. My trust in him as our CEO is bone deep.

The second is Bret Taylor agreeing to become our board chair. I asked Bret to join our board when I became CEO, and he's been excellent in every way. He understands entrepreneurship, taking risks, companies at massive scale, technology, product, and he's an engineer. All of the things the board and the company deserve right now. Having Bret in this leadership role gives me a lot of confidence in the strength of our board going forward. You have no idea how happy this makes me!

The third is all of you. We have a lot of ambition and potential on this team. Consider this: Parag started here as an engineer who cared deeply about our work and now he's our CEO (I also had a similar path...he did it better!). This alone makes me proud. I know that Parag will be able to channel this energy best because he's lived it and knows what it takes. All of you have the potential to change the course of this company for the better. I believe this with all my heart!

Parag is CEO starting today. I'm going to serve on the board through rny term (May-ish) to help Parag and Bret with the transition. And after that...1'11 leave the board. Why not stay or become chair? I believe it's really important to give Parag the space he needs to lead. And back to my previous point, I believe it's critical a company can stand on its own, free of its founder's influence or direction.

I want you all to know that this was my decision and I own it. It was a tough one for me, of course. I love this service and company...and all of you so much. I'm really sad...yet really happy. There aren't many companies that get to this level. And there aren't many founders that choose their company over their own ego. I know we'll prove this was the right move.

We'll have an all-hands meeting tomorrow at 9:05 AM Pacific to discuss it all. Until then, thank you all for the trust you've placed in me, and for the openness to build that trust in Parag and yourselves. I love you all.

PS I'm tweeting this email. My one wish is for Twitter Inc to be the most transparent company in the world. Hi mom!

He understood the language very well. According to the source familiar with the happening, the board were not happy with him because he is losing the giant of Africa market due to his ego. Not only Nigeria, other countries take a leaf from the way Nigeria handled them, hence the board confidence on him was dwindling.
I WRITE IN CAPITAL LETTERS, VERY SOON TWITTER WILL BE RESTORE IN NIGERIA.
