People across Accra could not believe their eyes as the funniest, most relatable tweets from Twitter Ghana popped up all over the capital.
Many have shared images of the giant billboards, which immortalise moments, realisations and hilarious observations about the realities of everyday life in Ghana.
This forms parts of Twitter’s first major in-country campaign, which includes the launch of Twitter’s first handle in sub-Saharan Africa; @TwitterGhana.

By tapping into the vibe of daily conversation on platform, the new dedicated handle for Ghana is set to amplify and elevate the best of Ghanaian conversations on Twitter.
Twitter Ghana will also start, curate and hold conversations, while reacting to trends and queries, with good-natured humour and in language that’s unique to Ghana’s vibrant Twitter community.
The activation of the new handle and the unveiling of the billboards across Accra and Tema - showcasing the best Tweets and voices of Twitter Ghana - represent a ramping up of Twitter’s presence on the continent, following its market-entry announcement earlier in the year.
The billboards, seen in this thread, cover topics and hilarious moments that are uniquely Ghanaian; with a love for food heavily featured:

They also showcase the Ghanaian spirit of “enjoyment”, which is always well represented on Twitter.

Helen Appiah-Ampofo, a Radio & TV Personality whose tweet was featured on the billboards, expressed excitement at being included in the campaign. She said, “It’s super exciting to be featured in this campaign. Twitter has and continues to be the portal to such an exciting world. Making people happy by Tweeting is my superpower and long may it continue!”

Communications Lead for Africa at Twitter, Lambert Akwa, said: "December in Accra has become iconic for bringing Ghana’s vibrant communities and the Diaspora together in a spirit of celebration, enjoyment, and gratitude. It’s the perfect time for us to showcase the unique expressions of the Ghanaian experience which you can only find on Twitter, particularly during the holiday season.
We are proud to provide an outlet for people to share moments in life and culture that are unmistakably Ghanaian, and this campaign is a celebration of the joys and moments that define that shared identity.”
As part of the ongoing campaign, and in celebration of the newly launched official handle, @TwitterGhana and @TwitterMusic also hosted an exclusive and intimate #TapInWith conversation with international Superstar Stonebwoy on Twitter Spaces. Ahead of the event, fans and media submitted questions for Stonebwoy using the #TapInWith hashtag.
