Tinubu Should Rethink His Frequent Trips - Punch Editorial by iwaeda: 9:09am On Nov 23, 2023 |
LIKE his predecessors, President Bola Tinubu is making frequent international travels a cornerstone of his administration. In quick succession, he recently jetted to Saudi Arabia, Guinea-Bissau, and Germany. The excuse of attracting foreign direct investment was also proffered by those who preceded him in the Fourth Republic but had only consistently declining investment inflows to show for their numerous travels. Now that the treasury is bankrupt, Tinubu should realise that making the country safe for citizens and commerce magnetises investments, not globe-trotting. https://punchng.com/tinubu-should-rethink-his-frequent-trips/ 25 Likes 8 Shares

"The bitter truth is that while its potential remains huge, Nigeria is currently not attractive to foreign investors. Africa’s largest economy is plagued on many fronts, starting with insecurity. From Islamic terrorism to banditry, kidnapping to separatist agitation, and militancy to Fulani herdsmen rapine, robbery, and cultism, and neither its citizens nor investments are safe". 38 Likes 6 Shares |

I used to think this until I went to South Africa once. All the big international corporations in IT and other "modern type" sectors have big buildings over there injecting some serious money into their economy. Zoom meetings and emails can't cut it to get those businesses over here investing, President Tinubu needs to be physically standing in front of these investors in order to get anything. All the hard work his lazy predecessors didn't do, he now has to. I feel for the man and believe he'll pull it off. 36 Likes 7 Shares |

aswani:Can you do us all a favour and shut up? How many trips did Mandela, Mbeki, Zuma or Ramaphosa embark on before those big international corporations decided to set up shop in SA. As a matter of fact, SA is becoming more anti-West lately with their support for Palestine, membership of Brics and decision to stay neutral in the Russia-Ukraine war while tacitly supporting Russia. Yet the West keeps romancing them. Fix your home front and every other thing will fall in place. No business entity will see 200million people with purchasing power and good environment and wait a second. They'll come begging like they do with China 80 Likes 8 Shares |

aswani: I think most people who live in Nigeria are unaware of the outside world's perception of Nigeria. No one is going to invest their hard-earned money in an economy that is riddled with corruption. A country where security of life is a joke. A country now led by a known thief, drug dealer and morally challenged individual. Have you noticed that Nigeria's elites do not believe in their own country?. Where do you think they save and invest their money?. These countries know you better than you know yourselves. They see and track your behavior and have actionable intelligence on the exact picture of things in Nigeria. Investing in Nigeria is potentially a good return if you take into account certain variables. But there are other factors, very fundamental in nature, that discourage that decision at this time, and I do not see that changing in the near future. This is what any serious investor sees, including Nigerians. 37 Likes 3 Shares |

Mr President, the management of Punch talk say make una dey relax for inside naija dey chop amala and plenty orisirisi, instead of to dey bother yourself dey go abroad to try dey attract investors. Punch billionaires talk say dem ready to dey supply you billions of dollars from their newspaper sales, say dem go increase our foreign reserves with dollars and will build their newspaper office in every state and employ more people. Mr President just make a phone call to Punch management and nigeria's cash needs is solved. Infact, Punch go dey give us more money far better than Saudi Arabia and Germany deal. Punch talk say the money wey Saudi and Germany wan carry enter naija dem be chicken change. Too much money dey worry Punch Nig Ltd. 47 Likes 3 Shares |

aswani:Modafucker has to fix the country first by creating a condusive and enabling environment for the investors he wants to woo to see reason to come to the country to invest. You cannot put a house with obvious leaking roof and delapidated structure for rent and expect prospective tenants to come pay for it, fix the roof n building first and then people will start coming to rent it, you won't even need to put to-let sef. 8 Likes 1 Share |
