Am shocked China did not make the list.

Are we sure they do not have an ulterior motives.

Less than $10 billion for an over 200 million population is fuel Indeed.


Crude oil and Borrowing are the only things fueling the economy corruption in this country.

Am not surprised south africa came out second. with the likes of their companies (MTN, DSTV, GOTV, Shoprite) here extorting massively from us.
I even heard South Africa companies makes x10 gain in a year in Nigeria than they do in even their own country. Don't Know how true it is though.
Is that not why Jumia is closing their branches in South Africa, and Kenya to focus in the Nigerian market.


The news was everywhere some weeks ago.

Unfortunately Nigerians are too ignorant to stop playing the victim card...
They think everyone wants to eat from them
Everyone actually wants to eat from them, else there won't be no investment.


Are the businesses for charity purposes? 🙄

The UK has had the first spot on this list for as long as I can remember. The other day, some guy was telling me how Nigeria doesn’t need the West anymore as our partnership with China has taken over. Some people obviously don’t know the difference between foreign investment and construction contracts.

China and Russia no dey this list, but if you see the way some idiots will praise them, professing them to be their messiah.

Upon all the Huawei, Tecno, Redmi bla bla...
Nigeria still benefits more from the West than these authoritarian systems.

SA own na because of MTN and DSTV.
...and maybe the way their women like Nigerian deeeks.

I don't think South Africans are contributing to the economic growth of Nigeria. They are explioting Nigerians via MTN and gotv/dstv and they lost Chidinma Adetshina out of hatred for Nigerians.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the United Kingdom has consistently emerged as Nigeria’s top investment partner, contributing a substantial $3.43 billion between January to September 2024.

• Business Insider Africa presents the top 10 countries fueling Nigeria's economy through foreign investments (Jan-Sep)

• The list is courtesy of the National Bureau of Statistics.

• The United Kingdom has consistently emerged as Nigeria’s top investment partner, contributing a substantial $3.43 billion between January to September 2024.

Capital importation is like fuel for Africa’s economy, bringing in the cash needed to drive growth and development across the continent.


For many African nations, attracting foreign investments is not just a strategy for growth, it is a necessity to address infrastructure deficits, stimulate job creation, and diversify economies that often rely heavily on natural resources.

However, achieving this has proven to be a daunting task, especially in regions grappling with political instability, policy uncertainty, and global economic shocks.

In Nigeria, the story is both hopeful and challenging. As Africa's most populous nation and its fourth-largest economy, Nigeria has immense potential to attract capital, and the government has made this a cornerstone of its economic agenda.

The administration has been working on reforms to improve infrastructure, and bring some calm to an otherwise turbulent economy. But challenges like inflation and a volatile currency remain hurdles in the race to attract big money.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the United Kingdom has consistently emerged as Nigeria’s top investment partner, contributing a substantial $3.43 billion between January to September 2024.


South Africa ranks second, contributing $1.02 billion. This significant figure highlights the growing intra-African investment ties, with South African businesses playing a key role in Nigeria's retail, telecommunications, and banking industries.

The Netherlands, with investments totalling $781.82 million, ranks third.
