The post below has been making the rounds lately.

The way many demonize Nigeria is mind-boggling. I admire Aisha Yesufu for being a firebrand, but I don't align with her on this one because her thinking is flawed. My pointers to her:

Tell us the cost of building such a house abroad, including cost of land, obtaining permits, hiring a contractor and building the house. Also tell us the cost of maintaining the property including council taxes, home insurance and peripheral expenses. The way many demonize Nigeria is mind-boggling. How can you earn in naira and speak in dollars? If you want to speak in dollars, earn dollars. Let us stop this fixation by converting currencies to make Nigeria look bad. Nigeria is paradise for investment.

When I studied abroad, I frequented a restaurant run by a Nigerian woman. We got talking and she showed me her bills. She pays for TV license to show television in her restaurant, she pays to sell alcohol, she must pay her staff minimum wage, she must have specific cookers to prepare food and she must use specific types of chairs. In Nigeria, you can open restaurant or bar without permit.

I posted this topic to draw attention that Nigeria is not bad for investments and ROI is high. Look at the Lebanese, the Indians and the Chinese; they are seeing the opportunities many lampoon.

Bro, she invested in Nigeria. I can't wrap my head around her making comparisons with the USD without first investing in the US or understanding the business climate. As for foreign investors who can't repatriate funds back home, let them plough the funds back in the country.

SOMEBODY IS TRYING TO STEAL NIGERIA TO NIGER REPUBLIC.
