Twitter picking Ghana over Nigeria says a lot. But if they’re going by precedent, Nigeria literally bleeds investors dry. Gokada, Shoprite, MTN. The earlier we stop paying lip service to “ease of doing business” we throw around, the better. The rest of Africa has left us behind.

To which Rita responded,

"The rest of Africa has left us behind"

This is what happens when a country has a President, instead of a UK resident. Congratulations Ghana!

Are Nigerians not ashamed that in 5 years, the only thing we exported to England is our President?

We import refurbished cars from UK

We import refurbished phones from UK

Must we also import a refurbished President too?

8million social media users.

Nigeria has 200million people.

33million social media users.

*Guess where Twitter chose as headquarters of African Operations? Ghana!

We ban crypto.

Kill small business.

Oppress young people.

This is why nobody rates us.

This is a country where the official govt policy is to kill businesses, wreck innovation and massacre young people.

Then you wonder why investors will rather run to another country.

Healthcare ZERO

Power supply ZERO

Security of lives ZERO

Security of properties ZERO

Free speech ZERO

Human rights protection ZERO

Respect for human dignity ZERO

But somehow we expect investors to come in with their money with all of these unfortunate daily horrible realities.

Everything starts and ends with leadership. When you have foolish leaders, the country suffer.

That's All.
