The NITA Bill is still a draft. It has not passed Parliament. That means there is still time. But if it passes as written, it will be one of the most damaging things Ghana has done to its own tech sector. Here is why this is personal for me:

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?

“The goal is to equip young people including those with disabilities with the knowledge, support, and tools they need to develop ideas that solve real problems in their communities and help shape a better Ghana.”
