While others may say otherwise, I see hope, development, peace, unity and progress in Nigeria.

It may not seem like it, but Nigeria will overcome its challenges with persistence and collective efforts.

Some people ask; where are the FG achievements? Well, if wailers and children of hate and perdition are of such mindset, unfortunately they can't be helped. We don't have the authority to mix spittle with clay, put on their eyes, and direct them to go to Siloam pool, wash, and come back seeing. Once anybody decides to be willfully blind, no matter what you push in front of his eyes, he wouldn't see. If he decides to be willfully deaf, even if there are thunder peals by his ears, he won't hear.
Enemies of the country will be blind and deaf forever.
No be curse,
Na fact!

I pray that common man feels the impact of this as the huge gap between the rich and the poor keeps expanding.

If 84% ($7.1 billion) of the capital importation was portfolio investment, how come this is not reflected on the stock market? $7 billion contribution to the stock market in Q1 should have had a positive effect,... what happened? The market is still experiencing its lackluster performance since last year. Let the propaganda continue.

My guess would be the bulk of it was in bonds and Treasury bills.

It's a shame that only 3% was for FDI.

I looked at the data looking for something to rejoice at. I didn't find anything.

Stanbic IBTC skewed the data massively, representing over 42% of the investments. This is a most likely one off investment and wouldn't be replicated in Q2 2019.

They can't know because they are blind followers of a blind leader who has no vision for the future or even the present for that matter.

Hmmm! The British are damn smart. And I think this is more of Jagaban's network. Of course, Buhari has no clue of what to do with the economy as he is a real disaster to Nigeria. No wonder the British prime Minister spent more than in Lagos when he came.

But to me it is not good news. We need more factories opened. We must stsrt producing. And it is power disturbing us. We need real cash tied down in Nigeria and not gimmicks. Well, it is not a bad start. Hopefully this regime rolls out fast so that Buhari and his men can go sleep.

Most people making comments do not understand the figures and cannot interprete them. Too many illiterates in this country. Just shaking my head with the comments above.
