Nigerians have flooded Twitter with excitement over the new partnership between the country’s $1bn fintech company, Flutterwave and United States payments giant, Paypal.

The collaboration between both companies would allow businesses in Africa to receive payments from over 377 million PayPal users across the world, according to Flutterwave’s CEO, Olugbenga Agboola, fondly called GB.

Flutterwave’s Head, Branding and Storytelling, Yewande Akomolafe-Kalu on Tuesday added that the partnership “is going to change everything, it is going to turn African businesses into global businesses.”
