Future/tomorrow never ends.

They're just selling people a dream and most of the so-called investments only cater to the elites. Just kind of like bringing the services they travel outside Nigeria for - to them. Ain't nothing changed - just another day in Nigger-dom - and people hoping and hoping for a brighter tomorrow.

The economy is growing but the money is with the plutocrats. Nigeria's practising one the most extreme forms of capitalism.

OP which economy is accelerating? Someone's taking optimism a bit too far... If anything I'd be cautiously optimistic with that amount of foreign investment coming in. Foreign inflows into the countray was at its peak in 2007, we know what happened in the wake of the global meltdown. In fairness, foreigners are all about their self interests. There's a reason why China limits the number of foreign films than can be screened in its cinemas in a year to less than 5%. It cares about its local film industry. Foreign investment is good, it's a vote of confidence others have in your economy; but it should never be done at the expense of developing home based capacity...

The truth is; all i see around me are opportunities....

These new investors; they are going to be needing a lot of support services; Protocol, security, food (preferably their kind of food), digital maps of Nigeria, heck; some smart dude is going to manage their bank account and probably will eventually hold a key position in their Finance or Treasury department...
yet someone says; it's hogwash..or smokescreen...
***sighs*** wake up people!!!
A friend that got laid off from a new generation bank has gone to China to learn how to make their food...she'll soon come back and start raking in money...and employ one of these shortsighted slow pokes (as gate men of course) who are waiting for the government to spoon feed them.

Nigeria is the future... and the future is here!!!
#teamNigeria

Yes, all very well. The average nairalander knows this and is probably going to do well for himself. She'll become a treasurer in one of the new foreign owned banks or learn how to make thai sea food and come back home to set up shop. You and your fortunate family will do well. But is society as a whole currently being equipped with this knowledge of self reliance? Our educational system is worse than it was in 99!; the culture of corruption is still rife; structural problemns have been largely unadressed for more than two decades. Change won't happen in one day i agree, but when we see a sincerety of purpose and will in this administration's bid to create a fair and equitable society then we would give them their due.

Where I dey for all these levels nowww?! Victor, "FOCUS FOCUS"!! All these billion passing me without eating and contributing to any of these development?! God I don't want to be a failure!! God, let me be able to contribute to our development. Amen!!

Jonathan is God sent, the era of distraction by haters of Nigeria is gone.
Well done Good luck EJ. Evidence of more goodies.

This is nothing more than a bunch of stories meant to titilate or possibly to dupe the unwary into thinkiing sth is going on. It has to be some other Nigeria and not the one I live in where insecurity is driving all insane.

If we have a truly competent govt which pays attention to the rule of law all these wishful thinking can actually become reality and there wont be need to sponsor write up disseminating falsehood.

I wont be surprised if the NSE somehow has a hand in this.

WHAT A PITY? YOU TAKE THESE TO D BANK....WHERE RE D COMPANIES,OBJ ADMINISTRATION SAID MORE THAN THESE AND MIND U,THEY SHLD TELL NESTLE,PZ,CADBURY TO RELOCATE BACK TO NIGERIA B4 ANOTHER PROPAGANDIST POST BY THOSE BENEFITTING FRM D ROT...

Rossikk:

But that was how South Korea and other Asian tigers developed. Foreign investment from the west and Japan, whose companies repatriated their profits. But you find that their doing so is fair shakes considering their initial capital investment in the said projects, and the actual business they generate in terms of direct and indirect employment, and the boosting of economic activities, which add to GDP.

Who told you that's how South Korea and Japan developed? Let us put Japan aside - because she was far ahead of her Asian peers -, have you read any book about the economic development of the Asian Tiger States? If not, you should. There are many books about it. However, if you don't have the time to read a book, the development of China should serve as an adequate lesson. For instance, you can not establish a company in China with a 100% ownership. Apart from that, you will be required to share your technology with domestic companies either overt or covertly. The driving force of their economies is however not foreign companies, but the thirst to be technologically at par with the western countries if not better. To this end, they sent their best students to the best schools in the best countries of the world. Besides, they also copied all the technology they could lay their hands on. As Nigeria is constituted right now, the future is very bleak. It would be a great magic beyond comprehension if we would bs able to achieve a tenth of what Malaysia has accomplished in the next 20 years. Except of course we overhaul completely our ways of doing things.

-Corruption
-educational apathy
-societal and general moral decadence
-lack of coherent policies and continuity
-infrastructural negligence

Are just the most important plaques Nigeria has to get rid of.

I see hope! At least its nice to read some good news in these days of terror, hopelessness and outright doom. I pray that it all turns out well for us all.

with this kind of development coupled with good power supply and minus corruption vision 2020 is still possible in nija

Nice work op,

[size=16pt]AZONTO TIME FOR ME[/size]

The post is true and I can atest to that. Distractors will keep working but will fail woefully.They all are sad cos what they could not achieve in many years are materializing with GEJ's touch and His team in just two years amidst ungovernable scenerio. We shall overcome all their antics. God will not allow any god-fatherism or any political rigmarole/merger to short change the Goodwork that Goodluck is doing. They are asking where is the effect of the GDP growth on the people? They also say there is no need for a marking scheme. They even want to destroy our stock exchange with zero allocations up till now. But thank God Nigerians are wiser than they do. They should go and develop their marking scheme. God loves Nigeria and will ensure that GEJ finishes his second term to set a pace for whoever will aspire for that position. We are battling against spiritual wickedness and powers of darkness that does want Nigeria to shine. Long Live Nigeria.

sheyie2007: Na naija de for dat pic?

that abuja for real, you haven't seen any yet till GEJ is done with his railway project in the city of abuja , then you have more question to ask

It is either GEJ is working or he is not.

Nairaland is confusing me with this back and forth.

ikeyman00: @@@@

Shymmex when will you visit the Nigeria for the first time on your life to see things for yourself instead of relying on what you read on nairaland?
