Reno Omokri has replied Sterling Bank CEO, Abubakar Suleiman, who last night blamed Nigerians who bad-mouth the country for Twitter's decision to move their African headquarters to Ghana.
Yesterday April 12, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey announced that Twitter Headquarters for Africa opens in Ghana in a Tweet which says "Twitter is now present on the continent. Thank you Ghana and @NakufoAddo."
In reaction to Jack's Twitter HQ announcement Nigerians fume as they believed Nigeria has lost a huge investment opportunity to Ghana. Besides, Nigeria deserves investment more than Ghana as Nigerians are more active on Twitter than Ghanaians.
However, Suleiman weighed in, writing: "First you tell the world Nigeria is a zoo. Then you hear @TwitterSF has chosen @GhanaPresidency as their WA headquarters & you are wondering why.
"If you can’t sell yourself, nobody will buy you. Nigeria remains the heartbeat of Africa, our current struggles notwithstanding."
After receiving a couple of response from his fellow Nigerians who thought his opinion is not good enough then he concluded
"I think everyone sells. And we should showcase the good things in our country even as we critic the shortcomings.." Said Suleiman.
Reacting to Suleiman opinion on the issue Reno Omokri took to his Instagram page to quote Suleiman wrong.
He wrote;
''Dear @Suleimana, Are you aware that on February 5, 2016, General @MuhammaduBuhari told the @Telegraph Nigerians to have a reputation for crime? Or that on April 18, 2018, he told the Commonwealth Business Forum that Nigerian youths are lazy? Leave the “zoo” people and face the inconvenient truth. Buhari is Nigeria’s chief de-marketer.''
In another post, Reno gave further reasons the tech giant moved its headquarters to the West African country. He wrote;
''After what Gokada went through in Nigeria, coupled with the ill-advised lawsuit a @MuhammaduBuhari acolyte filed against them, there is very little chance a company like Twitter will invest in Nigeria until this regime (or virus) goes. Under Buhari, our ease of doing business is so bad that it is easier for terrorists to get SIMs than law-abiding residents. You can land in Ghana’s Kotoka International Airport and get a SIM right at the airport. But a camel has to pass through the eye of a needle to get one in Nigeria. If the Buhari regime does not turn a new leaf (almost an impossibility), even Nigerian businesses and brands will be leaving Nigeria for Ghana. Several airlines and manufacturers left Nigeria for Ghana. Even our Grammy winners @WizkidAyo and @BurnaBoyGram prefer Ghana to Nigeria''
