Specifically, many are blaming the All Progressives Congress (APC) government headed by President Muhammadu Buhari.
To some others, the decision to locate the HQ in Ghana was not as a result of the action or inaction of the Buhari government but just because Nigerians are not valued.
Here are some things Nigerians said about the latest development on Twitter.
Adamu Garba:
"I don’t know what is that buzz about Ghana? a low country less than the size of Lagos. Ghana have roughly 3 million Twitter users, Nigerians have 12 million."
Roseline Son:
"Nigeria don’t have electricity, police will most likely harass Twitter staff carrying laptops too many other reasons."
@Freedom40820800:
"Jack doesn't have money for ransom when Fulani kidnaps his workers, that's one of the reasons why he chose Ghana. It's not about the population but security, light, policy."
@kaizer747:
"At least their government doesn't kill businesses with stupid policies like Buhari does to Nigerians. When you kill start-ups like Opay, Oride, and Flutterwave, you are inviting this kind of treatment."

"Jack doesn't have time to be bailing his staff from police custody simply for carrying laptops. He doesn't want to be paying ransom to Fulani kidnappers. He doesn't want government policies that only kill businesses. He wants a place with constant electricity."
@isaiahtarila:
OMG I'm marveled. So because Jack has decided to post a Twitter HQ in Ghana, Ghanaians are claiming Giant of Africa."
