shame unto us as a country but what do you expect......agberos n community people will first of all fight and drag over the land Twitter will build..then MOT, FRSC, VIO even LATMA will come to demand for bribe...the NBC will come to regulate, then the house members will come in form of deliberation on why Twitter should be in naija.
then we go start to drag if it will be in northeast or southwest.
meanwhile, no steady power, no access road, no street naming or direction..Abeg forget this country.

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

No serious minded people/business would ever want to have anything to do with a politically unstable country. Politically unstable is an understatement when you are describing Nigeria's case. In fact, it is an insult to instability when you use that word to describe Nigeria and its situation.

That's good.

Great nation of Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah doing great.

It was here that I stated unequivocally that South Africa, Ghana are the real giants of Africa.

I went further to add Cameroon, Rwanda and other developed civilization in africa as the real giants of Africa

Nigeria been termed Giant of Africa is done by Nigerians themselves and not other countries. You guys are the ones massaging your egos by calling yourselves giants of Africa with fake population been dished out by Population commission without census.

Any sane human must do anything possible to break away from anything called Nigeria or forever remain yoked with backwardness.

You are indeed a wise man. I feel trapped in this shit hole, I'm trying to break free embarassed embarassed

Emefiele is the worst CBN governor.
He is my village person on my mother's side, but the truth has to be said.

A drastic and a collosal failure.

Zainab Ahmed the minister of finance is also a waste of space.

I would prefer adeosun to her a thousand times.
Atleast that one was intelligent to a good extent.

Zainab is a dunce put there to share money to ministries and go home.

It is obvious educating people like you is not worth the effort.

Germany also has the European Central Bank, Frankfurt to be precise. There is an organisation on security located in Munich. Several international organisations have their headquarters in Germany or European presence.

Nigeria is a failed state but people like you will keep on defending her. It does not in any way surprise me.
Associations bring investment, maybe.
But the consideration for setting up political associations in Countries favours smaller countries.

I am not in anyway defending Nigeria.
It's a collosal waste of space governed by congenital idiots and traitors, and inhabited by brain dead idiots who will keep voting for idiots because he is from their party or ethnic group.

But what I also believe is that Nigeria can be salvaged.
Things don too spoil, but it can be salvaged.

He is correct.

If you've travelled round West Africa, you'd know that all of them have relatively shabby infrastructure. What is making Ghana stand out is governance.

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.

Thanks to the CBN under Buhari.

What America and Europe have been trying to curb for their own interests, the CBN of Nigeria did it for them with ease.

It is quite easy to send dollars to Nigeria.

The co-founder and CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey in a tweet announced the company’s presence on the continent.

He said:
https://mobile.twitter.com/jack/status/1381609431381766147

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.

Yes, associations favour smaller countries but bigger countries have their fair share if well positioned. That is why France has UNICEF and UEFA hq. The EU parliament is also located in France.

You have UN in America too, CAF, Arab league, African Export-Import Bank all in Cairo, Egypt. If it was today, Nigeria would definitely miss out in having ECOWAS hq here!

I think infrastructure still plays a role. On the whole Ghana may not have infrastructure spread across the whole country but they have a better management of resources.

You don't have the kind of bottleneck in Nigeria's ports in Ghana's.

Their airport also tells a lot about the country and they have been able to connect with Africa's diaspora like no other country has. "The year of return" was also very helpful but even if Nigeria does something like that constant negative news will not help.

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.

As long as we are yoked to the North, Nigeria can never overcome her challenges. We need to separate. Yoruba people would have been the biggest benefactors of all these Tech Investors, but they love one Nigeria too much. By the time they realize their folly, oil would have lost its value and it will be too late.
