Jim O'Neill, former chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, has stated that a loss by Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan in general elections next month may be viewed “positively” by foreign investors and probably won’t rattle markets.

Speaking in an interview in Abuja, O'Neill said Jonathan has presided over the sale of the nation’s mismanaged power utilities to private investors, and his economic policies in the last four years “could have been better,”


He added that the firing central bank Governor Lamido Sanusi last year, who brought “a lot of credibility” to the government, sent out a negative signal, he said.

“If he doesn’t get re-elected, and it’s because of Nigerian people

No retreat No surrender,Jonathan is going back to otuopke

lol Bawaa it is not your alone to decide

I think so too. Abeg, who get Buharis contact? Buhari and crew biko make dem tell dem say I dey find dem o
I never supported GEJ or GMB but seeing the way people are crazy over him, I think this is the opportunity Naija needs to move forward. I need to talk to these people. Abeg make una tell them say I want talk with them.
After him, I want to see GEJ. Who knows.

Does this man now that under GEJ, Nigeria has seen the most investment from abroad (non-oil)?

Nigeria has topped African FDI rankings for the past three years, all under GEJ, so what is he saying?

Does he realy think that foreigners will prefer Buhari over GEJ? If they do its likely because he, unlike GEJ wants Nigerians to be dependent on gov.

GEJ has made a few decisions that put NIgeria first, for once in the face of foreign demands in their own favour.

He wants to pass the PIB, which they are against, local content laws and import laws that favour Nigerian manufacturers over those simply importing from abroad.

If GEJ losing will not affect the market, then it will also not be affected by him winning.
Nigeria is finallly standing up under GEJ, long may it continue. Even if APC win, they need to carry on where GEJ left off in some areas.

Jonathan cannot lose. Those that are thinking he will lose are just dreaming. They should wake up.

Lol, they all want regime change.

The powers that be are now more vocal than ever.

The foreign investments you see in Nigeria are being done from corporate boardrooms in Europe, Asia and the US as part of their corporate strategy. It is to make profit for them and also bring good things to Nigeria in terms of jobs and GDP. Every government has a duty to attract investment it is why we elected them.
We have had the macro economic frameworks for good foreign investment in place since the first two years of Obasanjo. Let nobody deceive you. The Jonathan gov t through Aganga has actually tried in the luring of physical asset investments into Nigeria but since the framework is there any other government will continue along the line.
