Twitter CEO To Visit Ghana, Nigeria and other African Countries in November

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey will spend the month of November in Africa, visiting entrepreneurs in Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa, he announced. On Twitter, obviously.

Dorsey, who co-founded the 300-million strong service in 2006, wrote that he is “headed to Africa for all of November! Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa. Going to spend a lot of time with entrepreneurs”.

His tweet included a photograph of him with African entrepreneurs Noel Kudu (co-founder of Kudu Ventures), Getnet Aseffa and Betelhem Dessie (from artificial intelligence research and development company iCog Labs from Addis Ababa).

No further details of Dorsey’s trip, nor which other African entrepreneurs he will be meeting, are available yet.

The Artistic Mind of a Criminal

I used to have a client who is a professor when it comes to art, paintings and antiques. He paints one portrait and makes millions out of it and that really fascinated me so much that I started doing some research into the Art, paintings and antiques industry. I discovered that the painting industry in Ghana is very small and young but elsewhere in the world, it is a huge industry which contributes significantly to the economy of these countries. The USA economy in 2014 and 2015 benefited US$730 billion and US$763.6 billion respectively from the Art, Paintings and Antiques sector(1). US$12 billion (£9.2 billion) was contributed to the UK GDP in 2016 from the Art and Painting sector(2) with Singapore’s Art and Painting contributing S$2.13 billion to the GDP in 2013(3).
