Recall, that Twitter’s founder and CEO, Jack Dorsey, visited Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, and South Africa in 2019 in anticipation of this major expansion and growth strategy. Further recall that Nigeria also accounts for over 50 percent of the GDP of the West African sub-region. According to a survey online, 39.6 million Nigerians have Twitter accounts, which is more than the entire 32 million population of Ghana. The largest rival of Twitter is Facebook Inc, and its first African office on the continent was opened in Johannesburg in 2015. Sincerely, there are many lessons to be learned to remain a competitive destination for investors and to attract much-needed foreign investment in Nigeria.
