In his response, Nana Akufo-Addo revealed that he held a virtual meeting with Jack on April 7, 2021.

He further revealed that Twitter’s Africa operations will have its Headquarters in Ghana.

The choice of Ghana as HQ for Twitter’s Africa operations is EXCELLENT news. Gov’t and Ghanaians welcome very much this announcement and the confidence reposed in our country.

As I indicated to @Jack in our virtual meeting of 7th April 2021, this is the start of a beautiful partnership between Twitter and Ghana, which is critical for the dev’t of Ghana’s hugely important tech sector.

These are exciting times to be in, and to do business in Ghana.

Naija.....make I no talk.

Giant of Africa Twitter did the right thing or else those evil boiz would kidnap their staff

Pity we lack the infrastructure, which collectively we have not built, but twitter might still staff it with Nigerians if we have the individual skills.

Giant of Assfrica

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

Jack get sense... Ghana better pass nigeria

Dis jack is mad

First it was spotify, now it's twitter who knows, very soon it would be apple..hmm..I think these people have a hidden agenda.... hmm

Light's kpoli and watches in suspense

Good choice. Nigeria online and offline is too unstable and volatile. Unethical and unsensible. Always overdoing.

Nigeria dusted

Governance has consequences.
Positive and negative consequences.

The Nigerian govt under Buhari is still fighting our tech sector.

Don't worry,all of them will move to Ghana.

Make Ghana chop this one. Congrats to them

This is a huge slap on Nigeria but the government will behave as if it's noting.

Security and bad governance the reason for this. Where is baba Lai ? Please come and defend this

Buhari is pleased. More green grass space for his cows

I'm impressed.
I still wonder up till today how Nigeria is still the giant of Africa.

This is a welcome development!

Not just Twitter, alot of tech companies in nigeria are moving to ghana... there's a conspiracy of the fulani government to make life difficult for startups.

Nigeria no get light na.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu said, Nigeria is a zoogeria and you people think its a joke.

When Jack came here he saw the kind of corruption going on in this dead and buried country. when he went back to the US Buhari and his BMC rained insults upon insult on a man who is saying SARS should stop killing youths. Una dey crase for this country

Sai baba

Before nko? Nigeria has lost her place in Africa no be today. Our youths need to see the way Nigerian entrepreneurs are thronging Ghanaian economy. They're coming next year to do fire brigade tactics by putting some projects in place and sharing 20k with you guys ahead of 2023. They have the code to your brain already but the onus is on you to reason well. Even if they spent 100m to buy votes they'd recover it in less than 2 months once they get to power while you remain hungry and wretched after finishing the 20k. That 20k has deprived you of quality Healthcare because you would have voted the wrong person and when your wife or mum is sick, na private hospital dem go carry dem go where they'd bill them heavily. You'd be denied jobs, infrastructure,
etc. By the time you'd vomit that 20k, you'd never know

Get sense or remain in one place till you wake up one day and begin to see scanty strands of grey hair on your head, which connote that you've sold your life for 20k and have become useless. Its never too late.

Forget all the giants of Africa hype. We're only giants in population. The day I heard from aljazeera when Nigeria's issue was being discussed and one oyinbo guy put our population at almost 400m, I almost fainted. Before our government could even agree we were over 200m in population, it took time. They've always been deceiving us with fake figures. Its this NIN that would expose us the more because with it, there's no more hiding place

Well done jack.. the safely of your staff is important.

Wise decision... Theory African Giant won't like this.

when Nigeria and south Africa dey?? bad choice if u ask me

Omg! It should be Nigeria ���!

Funny enof the staff would have been Nigerians
