The Co-founder and CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey via a tweet on Monday, announced that the company’s presence in the African continent would be in Ghana.

Since the announcement, Nigerians have been questioning why the Jack Dorsey-led company chose Ghana over Nigeria to locate the Twitter headquarters.

It is unsurprising that Nigerians are reacting this way. This is because we have an incurable sense of entitlement as the giant of Africa and more importantly, we have one of the most vibrant Twitter communities or users in Africa.

According to a report by Portland Communications, Egypt tweets the most out of any country in Africa, with 28% of all geolocated Twitter volume (amounting to 500 million tweets). Nigeria (360 million geolocated tweets), South Africa (325 million geolocated tweets), Kenya (125 million geolocated tweets), and Ghana (70 million geolocated tweets) round out the top five tweeting African countries. Overall, there were 1.6 billion geolocated tweets in Africa in 2015 – a 34-fold increase from our initial research in 2012.

Even with this, Nigerians still feel that any company headquarters that comes to West Africa should automatically land in Nigeria. This is not the case as many of these international tech giants consider humongous factors before settling for a place to birth their business.
