A Troubling Trend: Nigeria's FDI Inflow Decline Since 2015 by TonyeBarcanista(op): 10:37pm On Aug 12, 2024
According to United Nations Trade and Development (UNCTAD) report Nigeria's foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow for year 2023 was US$1.873 billion, Nigeria was ranked number 8 in FDI. The top 10 are:

1. Egypt: US$9.841 billion
2. South Africa: US$5.2 billion
3. Ethiopia: US$3.263 billion
4. Uganda: US$2.886 billion
5. Senegal: US$2.641 billion
6. Mozambique: US$2.509 billion
7. Namibia: US$2.345 billion
8. Nigeria: US$1.873 billion
9. Cote d'Ivoire: US$1.753 billion
10. DR Congo: US$1.635 billion.

The situation is even more troubling when you consider that Nigeria had consistently attracted FDI inflows of over US$4 billion annually since 2005 during the Obasanjo, Yar'adua and Jonathan administrations. However, since the APC took over in 2015, the country's FDI inflow has failed to reach even US$4 billion.

Re: A Troubling Trend: Nigeria's FDI Inflow Decline Since 2015 by Dalohad:
Immediately after GEJ was pushed out in 2015, investors started taking their money. They knew Buhari was a power-hungry empty skull who had nothing to offer and Tulumbu is following suit.

The best presidents Nigeria has ever had never bullied their way to power, they were actually called to come lead. OBJ was called from prison, and Umaru Musa Ya'adua was begged by OBJ to take the mantle. GEJ was convinced to lead after UMY's death. They never swore to bring down heaven like bloodthirsty Buhari, they never bullied their way to power with money, bribing every living and non-living thing from Judges to INEC officers, like Tulumbu did.

The answers is simple, if a man bullies his way to power, he really has nothing to offer. He just wants to fulfill his sickening ambition to rule over everyone at your expense. Nothing more.

History will still repeat itself because Nigeria is alost cause, they never learn. I assure you.

Every indices keeps pointing to the fact that PDP is still the best party in Nigeria so far.

I wonder how Nigeria would be if APC had taken over in 1999. We would be far worse that Somalia and Sudan in poverty and misery.

Since 1999 that iv been voting,iv never voted anything anything APC. It' has always be PDP.

If you are educated, you ought to know there is 100% growth between 2022 and 2023.

And no figures yet for 2024 which the current administration will be solely responsible for. This is August 13th with some months left to close the year.

So, based on the statistics display, I believe it's your brain you should check or find someone to teach you elementary maths.
