Before Buhari happened in 2015, 🇳🇬 was the first choice country for foreign direct investments in Africa, with the oargest economy in Africa.
Post 2015, 🇳🇬 is a laughing stock, passport is disrespected, Naira is utterly useless!
Buhari is the Chief DE-MARKETER OF NIGERIA! https://t.co/7mbQ2DpVgu

Easy choice for me. #TwitterGhana is the closest to #NaijaTwitter & Nana didn't clamp down on Cryptocurrency, didn't order a Massacre and attempt to erase it with silence. Oh! Nana isn't killing tech startups too.
Well done @jack https://t.co/1qp4XrSF9l

Another Big L for Nigeria who despite having the biggest active social media users, we got over looked for Ghana. This is obviously because of the anti-business policies of APC and Buhari. Shameful
