Nigeria is already the United States’ second-largest trading partner in Africa, with two-way trade in goods and services totaling nearly $13 billion in 2024. In terms of investment, the United States remains one of Nigeria’s leading foreign investors, with foreign direct investment reaching $6.5 billion in 2023—a 5.5 percent increase from 2022. #USNigeriaTrade #USNigeriaInvestment.

USA should just know that no single non-Nigerian convict will be allowed on Nigerian soil.

That should be the new goal. Congrats anyway.

One of the main reasons, why Nigeria is patronising is them. Is that Nigeria solely believe in importing goods from outside Nigeria. They should invest in our men, trust me. The outcome will be massive.

Such news, no matter how lofty and great they sound, actually mean nothing to over 80% of Nigerians living in Nigeria.

We need to seriously start making average citizens feel the impact of these so called achievements... Or else, they are just nothing but FAKE!

Would have been transparent to breakdown the $13B trade; How much is America buying from Nigeria and How are they selling to Nigeria?

More like saying we're good customers.

Naija sef no small.. na our politicians no dey govern us well wey dey sometimes make am look like say we small.. one leader would take us two steps forward, another like emilokan would come and take us 50 steps backwards..

Ordinarily we should be commanding things and what happens in this continent.. but one useless leader would go sell us out for a pot of morsel.. because of one small pecuniary gains.

They should think better..

We can quote colourful billions of dollars in trade and investments but the most important question is - Is Nigeria getting a fair deal? In most cases, the answer is no. Most of these deals were signed under less-than-transparent conditions, benefitting one party more than the other. (We don't need to guess to know which party gets the lion share and which gets the cat share).

Also how many jobs are these trade deals creating for average Nigerians? Is our economy gaining long term value or just being mined for raw resources as it has been for decades?

Beyond economics, Is USA sure they're not meddling with Nigeria's domestic and foreign policies? During elections, are they sure they don't have their own preferred candidates or strategic interests shaping outcomes behind the scenes?

US an unverifiable figures.

They just throw these figures anyhow knowing black people will fall for it since they believe the white document everything.

Name the institutions that brought $6.5 billion from the US to Nigeria in 2023 alone and their different locations in Nigeria now.

All na wash! Are Nigerians treated like minded? Everything to the USA is business, Nigeria should better take its future very seriously.

All these AU matter here and there has done nothing but a big elephant project. Nigeria should take Nigeria and Nigerians seriously and put them first.

Some people will not like good news.

Don't use alternate accounts to access Nairaland after being banned. If you do, make sure we don't find out.
