Somewhere in the future when I look back, I don’t want to be able to explain anything. It shouldn’t make sense even to me that lived every second of it. Just grace, mercy and favor

Imagine you left home to go watch this match. You go vex rough

This video is a call for help.

My mum is battling with stroke, and it is slowly taking her life. She needs urgent medical funds to stay alive, and I cannot do this alone anymore. Please, if you have it in your heart to help or retweet this to someone who can, I beg of you 🤲🏻🙏

The flood scenes in the morning will be crazy. God help us

I always tell people who are planning their weddings to break down the entire budget to cost-per-head.

600k for 500 guests will be 1,200 per person, take out 200 to cover personal items

Now if you met any of those guests on a random day, would you gift them 1000 cedis?

Life can be beautiful. It’s just hard to keep that in focus but it really can and will

[Gizmo @6_lashes]

Better to be inspired with positivity. Love this. Great to be refreshed

USD 3 billion but who’s counting 😉…

[Kweku Tech @kwekutech]

USD 1 billion.

That is how much money has moved through Ebenezer Ghanney's(@_Iampkay) hands since 2021.

Not through a legacy bank. Not through a global payments institution. Through a company he built from a desk in Accra, four years ago, with the receipts from two companies that did not survive.

His company is @usewewire. And if you read our thread (link in cs) from yesterday, you already know exactly what problem he woke up every morning to solve.

The story starts at the @upsaccra, where Ebenezer studied accounting. Not code. Not product. Money. The movement of it. The mechanics of it. The gap between what a transaction should cost and what it actually costs when it crosses an African border.

From UPSA, he moved through @GetLiquidgh, first as an accounting clerk, then leading business development and campus activations at KNUST and Legon. He was learning how financial products actually get adopted. Not in a classroom. On the ground.

Then the startups. HostelMate: a student accommodation booking platform. He listed over a thousand beds across seven hostels in Accra. Could not find product-market fit. Closed.

Powrsale: built to solve social commerce fraud, a real problem with real victims. Did not survive. He does not hide these. He says they shaped how WeWire was built from the ground up.

In September 2020, @yellowcard_app brought him in to launch their Ghana operations. No users. No transaction history. Zero paid marketing budget.
By end of month one: USD 450,000 in transactions. By year one: 150,000 users. Over USD 20 million in volume.

That is not a statistic. That is a system built by someone who knew exactly what he was doing.

But running cross-border payments from inside a crypto platform showed him a different kind of gap.

Not the consumer remittance story. The business infrastructure story. The importer in Accra paying a supplier in Nairobi. The regional company with payroll in three currencies. The operation that loses margin every single time money crosses a border.

In April 2022, he left to build the answer.

WeWire is a B2B cross-border payments company. Banking and treasury services for businesses moving money across Africa and the world. Today it operates in Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, the UAE, the USA, and Canada. Seven markets. Four years.

Yesterday we asked why sending money from Accra to Lomé costs more than from Accra to London. Lomé is three hours away. London is six thousand kilometres.

Ebenezer did not wait for someone to answer that question. He built the infrastructure that makes it answerable.

Who else do you think is quietly building cross-border payment solutions Africa actually needs?

🚨🗣️ Thierry Henry on Barcelona Vs Atletico Madrid both-leg officiating controversy:

“I’m sorry, but what did I just watch over two legs? Because that’s not football, that’s decisions deciding games.

First leg, you send off Cubarsí for that? Minimal contact, the boy barely touches him and suddenly it’s a red card that flips the entire tie. Then you have a clear handball inside the six-yard box from Pubill, he literally stops the ball with his hand like he’s playing basketball and VAR just… goes quiet? How is that even possible at this level?

Koke is out there doing late challenges, off-ball stuff all game, no cards. Not even a warning. But on the other side, Eric García gets a straight red when Koundé is literally right there to cover? So now we’re rewriting the ‘last man’ rule as we go?

And don’t get me started on Olmo, pushed from behind, clear as day, no penalty. Then you count the fouls Atlético made… how many yellows? Zero? Come on. You can’t tell me that’s normal.

Then Ferran scores, and we’re talking about offside on a rebound situation? That goal should stand. Simple.

At some point, you stop calling it ‘bad luck’ and you start asking real questions. Because when every big decision goes one way, it’s not coincidence anymore. Barcelona didn’t just lose this tie… they were taken out of it.”

My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away

Someone from an unhappy family would have come on Twitter to complain about how her man only sleeps when she asks him to watch a show she picked.

Where you live, what you do, who you marry. The three extrinsic determinants of happiness.

Always drink Awake! From Kasapreko with ❤️!

With every bottle of Awake water you purchase, they donate 1 pesewa to Korle-Bu’s Cardiothoracic center. Since they started in 2016, their One4Life fund has supported 143 patients, mostly children, in receiving vital heart surgeries they could not afford.

They started by donating 75k every quarter to the Ghana Heart Foundation. They doubled up last year by increasing their donation to 150k every 3 months.

What are the others doing?
