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.
you see how you buttress the guy points by putting pdp??u have already linked the post to pdp and thats exactly what the guy said...una no dey think at all, everything no be politics and political undertone
Re: If Twitter Opened Its Office In Nigeria by NVSBL:
Any sane forward thinking company will not open HQ in a dying country like Nigeria.

Boasting about FB is nothing. FB that's owned by a government controlled puppet.

Make naija continue. When other African countries gap it after the decline of oil, e eyes go shine.

I love twitter more for picking a working African country like Ghana.

A country that's working towards being the North Korea of Africa is where an internet company should have its HQ? A country that has its top political member sue the owner is where it should set up HQ? Mtcheew. Kudos to Jack

That is if unknown gun men (UGM), Boko Haram and fulani herdsmen doesn't burn down their office first

Sad we have clowns who thinks the position they are in is their fathers birthright. Especially that Isa patanmi and Lai mohammed. I can bet twitters disdain of the two is part of the decision.
Re: If Twitter Opened Its Office In Nigeria by Mpanyi: 5:11pm On Apr 13, 2021
Nice but spoiled by the obvious political undertones. Na PDP and APC keep us for this condition. The two are the same.

Twitter has avoided all these by going to Ghana.
Some of the so-called points raised are baseless and senseless.

The writer probably wanted likes and retweets.

Had to say that first just so its known.

My people, we don hear? Mr Twitter invested where he can get berra return on his money and Ghana will not share with cattle in zoos! Chief Zebrudaya will say "Go and to be building our own whatever it takes to get whatever is bigger than twitter!", after all we are the Giants.

After I was told, fa. Again, Ghana!
Re: If Twitter Opened Its Office In Nigeria by Coldie: 5:15pm On Apr 13, 2021
You forget northern politicians will say twitter is against the north and it's an attack against the North.

You also forgot to add how the next government in power will wakeup and say twitter owes billions in taxes.

Y should twitter want to come to Nigeria when even the leaders don't have faith in Nigeria.

All the children of our leaders school abroad, go to hospital abroad, marry abroad. They only use Nigeria for looting and that's all.

Nigeria is a SHITHOLE country that needs to be devolved.

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
Nope, that would be South Africa followed by Kenya

What's petty about stating d possible scenarios dat would've occurred if twitter decided to place their hQ In 9ja huh .. I knw u're just looking 4 petty banters but ur psychotic scrawny ass aint getting one. I'm dead sure u south africans woulda been dying 4rm envy if d HQ was situated at Nigeria.

blah blah blah. I've already seen 3 threads discussing this none issue. You aren't mad that Twitter didn't open the office in Nigeria, you are just mad that it opened in Ghana. Smh

Look, in South Africa we wouldn't have cared whether it opened in Lagos or Timbuktu, we are used to such things in any case, it's not a big deal. They opened the office in Ghana we are still cool...you on the other hand are still whining and whining. You are petty people

in 2019 Twitter paid £40000 UK tax on revenue of £100 million

We do not need that kind of business in Nigeria
As long as it's legal. Companies are not obligated to pay taxes they don't owe.
You're forgetting all the employees in UK who got paid by twitter, and in turn paid income tax.
You're forgetting the real estate and related taxes (either rented or bought) that Twitter pays for their offices.
You're forgetting all the companies that provide services (from food, to cleaning, insurance, security) that are paid by Twitter.

Yes we are. This is a funny poke at the reality in this country, and comedy can cause self-reflection. I wish our leaders can read it and realize they are only hurting this country with their antics.
