It will be be better if we actually have Nigerians building these business.

I wonder what the craze about foreign investors all about when they are all gonna take the dollars out to the parents companies anyways.
Mtn moved over 1billions dollars last year despite the country suffering one of the biggest FX shortages in history.

They all just pretty much establish assembly factories without adding any value to local supply chain for raw materials.

Imagine establishing tomato paste plant in Nigeria only to be importing tomatoes from Cameroon instead of investing in local farmers to plant more tomatoes for your plant.

A Nigerian that will get most of the raw materials for his industry from locals should be the one running the economy.

Imagine the like of gsk and p&g quitting because they couldn't compete with importation. Isn't that madness?
If your drugs are cheaper than imported one, won't people buy them?
They want government to ban importation of drugs so they can control the price through some lousy drug manufacturers unions.

That was below the Belt Lol

Thesame thing they did when Awolowo sold all the multinational companies to his brethren during the indigenization policy which they all ran down within a twinkle of an eye.

This group cannot handle anything be it business or power. They misuse everything at any given opportunity. They like to Buga without brains. Look at the son seyi wanting a Yacht with no work or education. Look at the daugther claiming the first daugther princess of Nigeria with an office to her name. They want & like to show off, so that everybody will be bowing

Very lazy Set of creatures
Awolowo sold all multinational companies to his brethren during the indigenization policy... Lol. It's no suprises illiteracy is so rich in the southeast, little wonder Reno is dragging you down to history class. Embarrassing your lineage with "my uncle told me" tales.

The above quotes are from news report of P&G changing their business model and closing down their manufacturing factories in Nigeria.


Those importers are destroying the economy with their cheap commodies from China. P&G and Glaxo are also moving to an import based model to faily compete. I guess they will also import their products maybe from their India factories to be sold in Nigeria.

The government should have increased taxation on those importing all sorts into Nigeria.

👇
Actually

If FG increase taxation or even ban importation like Buhari did previously

Cost of the product will be higher for the consumers because demand will be more than supply

The key factor is that APC due to poor Economic policies since 2015 have reduced the purchasing power of ordinary Nigerians

The Government should find solution to the Economic situation they created

The truth also is that if they don't find solution
Present dire Economic problems will continue getting worse till next election

Then Nigerians will have no other choice
Of voting out APC

So FG have a very big problem before them till 2027

Time is ticking

Can someone close to this fraud give him a slap and shut his hell up. This fraud shut down his NEXT company in the UK early this year, was it also because of perceived negative growth in the UK?.. This female look-alike of a man is the biggest hypocrite ever. Companies are going under in US, UK, everyday yet these countries keep moving. We have had big comanies as Dunlop, Mitchelin, Bata, etc, shut down in Nigeria, decades back YET Nigeria keeps moving being the biggest economy in Africa, a strong and resilient economy, all these shit doesn't scare us.
The fact being that these foreign companies operate their businesses in dollar value and take as much dollars they could from us back to their country, that's all they cared about.
Truth is, no country or business would ever ignore the biggest economy in Africa. As new sets of foreign Investors come in with big bucks commitments, there's better days ahead. Children of hate and the Agulu fraud will be left in shame.

When you call tinubu supporters agbodorains I think it's wrong. The only supporters he has left are hard core tribal and bigoted yorubas. The few fulani and Hausa don leave bail.

Imagine we are already missing buhari. Be honest as u read this, is life not better as at jan to may this year than now. Look at the price increase and the suffering....

What a shame of a govt!

No sane investor will put his hard earned money into prospects under a government filled with the manner of despicable greedy super looters criminals as obtainable today in this nation.
An intelligent investor will put his money in Nigeria; the trick is to invest in an industry that requires low foreign input, such as low-scale mining, agriculture and software engineering. The labour cost is low, and the returns are very high if the product is export-orientated.


You can employ five university graduates for as little as $10000.

Regardless, I know Nigeria will be great one day. The doggedness, can do and the never-say-die attitude and spirit of her people will not let her fail. Some will go, others will come.
The foundation is being set and a new generation is rising that will bring these things to pass

Evil is evil, either it's coming from your brother or a stranger. Same with goodness, it's the same either from a stranger or a brother.

Voting Tinubu not because of his competence, but of his ethnic affiliation will not exempt his voters from the systematic suffering therein.

Agbadorians layed their bed, oya, please lie on it.

It's terrible. The government needs to come down hard in these importers. It's putting a pressure on forex too. The usual noise makers will immediately start acting like the victim 👇
What has the same government done about the brave business owners doing local production in Nigeria?
What are the parameters required for an average business to thrive in a country?
Is there efficient and reliable electricity which is the lifeblood of any business?
What have the government done about unifying Taxes for companies instead of the multiplicity of taxes they are painfully subjected to?
Can we confidently say there is reliable security in Nigeria?
Let's even get to the importation that you want to stop!
Is your phone made in Nigeria?
Is it not imported?
Are any of your equipments locally produced?
The government and leaders whom you are even defending are the biggest importers!
They import mostly cars when we have local car manufacturers!

If you are intent on the government stopping importation,where are the locally made alternatives?

Obi is a major importer into Nigeria. P&G now wants to join the importation club. P&G is struggling globally not because of Nigeria they have closed production in several countries in the last 5 years
P & G has always been an importer; the majority of these so-called FMCG products are entirely dependent on imports. It is cheaper to import into Nigeria than waste funds production when all the local supply chain is aboard.

If you don't know i will remind u again that Nigeria is one of the most corrupt countries in the whole world with the poverty index as less than a dollar per day for Nigerians.
Companies are going under in the US every other day, winding down completely. Does this also happen in the US because US the most corrupt and suppresses the rights of its citizens?

Re: Why Investors Are Running Away From Nigeria — Peter Obi by viodemus: 4:54pm On Dec 08, 2023
They are running away because it is too uncertain, very volatile, and lacks trust. Just to name a few.


Right now na currency dealing with Nigeria and other countries dey rain. You buy dollar low, convert to naira when high, then cash out, and rebuy dollar low. That's 20k to 200k depending on what you put in. Nowadays, they have made it a frequent cycle.

Many new companies are also starting up in Nigeria. Enough of the negative, from sore election losers and their hopeless supporters.
