Twitter founder, Jack Dorsey, revealed on Monday that the company’s African headquarter would be located in Ghana
Dorsey’s tweet announcing news of the hires on Monday said: “Twitter is now present on the continent.”
Ghana was chosen as the company’s first African location because of its respect for free speech and online freedoms, according to Twitter.
While this information was not included in the company’s announcement, Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo said in a tweet that the country will be the site of Twitter’s headquarters on the continent.

If Twitter HQ declares billion dollar revenue, FIRS staff will go and padlock their gate and Lai will be shouting that we are one of their biggest markets..
They better stay in Ghana where the biggest risk is a surplus of boiled eggs.

I am happy that Twitter is building a dev team in Africa.
The team is focused on Africa's LARGEST market (Nigeria) but will be based in its SANEST market (Ghana).
Sanity > ingenuity.
Nobody wants to deal with erratic regulators, poor infrastructure, and security concerns.

In GHANA, you get a SIM at the airport.
In NIGERIA, you get a SIM while boarding your flight back, after 7 days trip:
Day 1-2: Apply & receive BVN
Day 3-6: Apply & receive NIN
Day 7: Get SIM
