The irony here is that Nigeria most probably budgets and spends more cash looking for FDIs globally than all the rest put together... The huge entourage, the fat estacodes, the endless globetrotting...

No business ran the way these platoon of kleptomanaics run Nigeria will not go into bankruptcy. How can you spend nearly 80% of your total earnings on recurrent expenditures as act like everything is ok upstairshuh

If you probe deeper you will discover that the Egyptian government never sent any delegation to those nations before they invested in their country.

Is it not a obvious that those governors and the president were embarking on a jamboree in the guise of attracting FDI.

I'm even surprised Nigeria got that much...


Nothing is happening much in terms of new foreign investors in the country. The few available ones are packing shop and leaving. Insecurity challenge is a major problem for now. No investor is ready to put their money in unsafe markets.


If Nigeria can get this much from fdi then it's a major indictment on some of these African countries because most of them are relatively safe security wise and it shows they aren't doing enough.


That said Egypt seems to be leading the chart of African countries with the best economy. I wonder why South Africa can't dominate that position effectively because on paper it would seem they ought to dominate that position by a wide margin especially with the drop of Nigeria from that position for obvious reasons.

Most of these African countries are just playing as they arent performing to expectations!

It's safe to say that Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a complete DULLARD when it comes to governance.
He doesn't know ANYTHING asides politics.

Who's gonna invest in a terrorist-laden country? Egypt have learnt not to fight jihad, even though they have become a Muslim country. Even Saudi Arabia where Mohammed comes from are now far more tolerant than the Northern part of Nigeria.
Re: Egypt Attracted 43 Times More FDI Than Nigeria by Brendaniel:
Even Ghana beat Nigeria, If I tell some people one of the reasons I want Nigeria to divide, it will look as if I am hating on a particular tribe but this is where they have reduced Nigeria to with tribalism

LegendHero:
They worked on a project during that period

Their 2025 FDI is almost 1/4 of that
What about Ghana?

didn't Ghana beat Nigeria?

That is what the government is supposed to look into.

Nigeria is a West African country, not a sub-Saharan country.

The big question is why?

Let's check.

Modified: Why is ChatGPT so angry. I didn't expect this much.

It even said it's 45 times, not 43 times 😢

You have said it all. The money they spend on junketing is triple the so-called fdi they claim to be attracting.

How much foreign direct investment did u, Memphis357, risingblue008 & chicfarmer attract, collectively, or separately?

Some clueless persons, take pride in pointing fingers. & blaming others for their own laziness.

Let others go & bring foreign investments to Nigeria for u people, whilst u all just troll around on the internet gallivanting abi?

Same thing in a way. Nigeria is in West Africa but also one of the sub-sahara countries.

That Egypt FDI is mainly from USA to be able to control them. America gives Egypt Billions of dollars every year as assistance and aid. Those are the agreement signed with them since 1946. Without America Egypt will not be a NATION. You can google it. Nigeria did not sign those agreements with USA.

Nigeria has no diplomatic ambassadors, inferior optics and international image and the lack of electricity, good roads and rail services means countries will prefer Egypt, Kenya or South Africa
