How are investors chasing greener pasture? To become a Nigerian politicians, seems they have to remove your brains literally!
That’s what happens when they receive at least 20 mill monthly over a year for being lazy with no productivity
They lose touch with reality of the regular man or woman

You wan die ?
What happened to endsars protesters
Human & labour rights score in Niger is very low
Government prefer to buy ford or foreign cars for official cars than to get into contract with nord & IVM
Selling fish politicians just wasting money
Empowering locals isn’t in their agenda
Rather they prefer to steal from you to renovate house for 3 billion
Tax 2.0 loading
More tax is the only way they know how to generate revenue
Even local doctors of all professionals have to go on strike to be heard
Politicians & non visionaries are deliberately sabotaging national progress, they’re sell outs & very unpatriotic

The Nigerian immigration officers at point of entry allow these foreigners on a leisure trip to stay for business reasons. The Chinese and indians will come and later become bosses and pay their thites to the top immigration officers and other officers on their necks. Mr Shehu Sani, they don't come to seek greener pastures but to take advantages of the poor porous system

People from the country mentioned steal Nigeria resources like lithium (most especially). Chinese steal lithium and export it to Hong Kong. I saw this with my eyes 3yrs ago at ibadan.
@Mandesz

Did you inform the security agencies about this as of 3 years ago? This is a revenue loss for Oyo State and Nigeria with the lithium deposit being taken to Hong Kong in China. There MUST be a beneficiation plant to add value to that lithium instead of allowing these precious metals to be smuggled out raw!

Tbh, the Chinese have among them people who engage in opaque activities whenever they are abroad and this is why they have to be monitored. They have legit Chinese entrepreneurs, but give some of them space and they will take more than they are supposed to take as can be seen in their involvement in the exploitation of gold in Ghana.

Sensitive Shehu Sani Asks Nigerians

You chase for greener pastures in Europe, Canada and America but The Chinese, Indians and Lebanese are chasing for greener pastures in your country.

What are they seeing that you are not seeing? What are you seeing that they are not seeing?..How do they become richer and realise their dreams in your very country that you think is inhospitable and poor?



Source
Succinctly put by Senator Shehu Sani.

BUT it's NOT all of them that are legit and they work in tandem with some saboteurs from among the Nigerians for financial inducements. A vast number of especially Indians, Lebanese, Chinese, see hidden opportunities in every country, then they get the needed single-digit funds from offshore financial institutions (and some Nigerian-based financial institutions) to take advantage of manufacturing and import-export businesses some Nigerians CANNOT see or complain about.
However, there are many Nigerians I'm aware of too who are seeing business gold mines and opportunities laced as "dirt" which some complain about.

The immigrant drive is ALWAYS strong as well so they are usually NOT in Nigeria to play games just the same way Nigerians in other countries do NOT go there to play games or count the numbers of bridges abroad in the United States, United Kingdom, Cote D'Ivoire, etc.

This topic is bigger than Shehu Sanni's small brain.

Let me educate him and other people that think like him.


Nigeria is a poor country rich with some natural mineral resources and governed by the most corrupt Nigerians who managed to fight their corrupt way to the top.


These people parading themselves as leaders in Nigeria lack vision, their only interest is how to enrich themselves, their family members, close friends, political associates, political sycophants that help them hold on to power, and because of this, the wealth from the mineral resources of Nigeria is hijacked by the ruling class and some privileged entrepreneurs. All these and more made Nigeria and Nigerians more miserable as corruption becomes institutionalized in Nigeria, causing hardship, illiteracy, mass youth unemployment, underemployment and complete idleness.


But then, due to high level of illiteracy, fear of future/old age, Islamic religion, etc., Nigeria have enormous population who are mostly young people. This population means needs that must be met whether they are poor or rich; they must feed, cloth, shelter, merry and sorrow, which creates opportunities for products and services to be rendered to solve the problems and needs of the enormous population of Nigeria.


As a Nigerian youth, when you notice these needs and opportunities, you wish to startup a business or service rendering to meet these peoples needs in exchange for money, but then you dont have the money to get you started, in some cases, you dont have the skill or technical know how to render the services and you need to survive. What do you do? And you hear about another country that have lots of well paying jobs that dont even require much skill and when you check the exchange rate, if you earn little there it can be sent back to Nigeria and quadrupled, what would you do? Immigrate to that country asap to start working to earn consistent income that will enable you live your dream life.


On the contrary, Chinese and Indians come from a country doing better than Nigeria, they know there are numerous problems in Nigeria they can offer Solutions to and build a business or company around it, they come equipped from their country. Chinese government for instance give Chinese investors huge capital for business, and they also come equipped with the skills and technical know how, so its usually easy for them to startup a new business in Nigeria.




So in summary, Nigerians need to japa to work in already established businesses to enable them save before talking about starting their own business. But Indians and Chinese only come to Nigeria to do business and go, so they come equipped with their capital, skill and technical know how. So it's not as if Nigerians aren't seeing the opportunities, they are seeing it but only those that have the capital, skill and technical know how can startup a business.


There is a difference between economic migrant and an investor. Most Indians, Chinese, etc come to Nigeria as investors while Nigerians japa to other countries as economic migrants that arrive their destination country empty handed and need a job to start a life
Nice logic but what of Lebanon? You deliberately skipped them to suit your narrative that Chinese and Indians are doing well because their govt supports them

Cos you and I know Lebanon is as poor as nigeria and are unstable .

So final summation is shehu sani is right you don't need to leave the country to make it , there are lots of young Nigerians breaking through and succeeding the reason you don't know it is because you spend your time on news that talks about negative aspects of nigeria , most Nigerians on social media spend their time on rubbish and wonder why they are not growing,

This year a colleague of mine in tech got Mastercard funding of $100k for her biz right here in nigeria , there are lots of opportunities in nigeria but few people get to know or utilise it and our leaders like it like that cos they can now take advantage and benefit from those resources.

Re: Chinese, Indians & Lebanese chasing for greener pastures in Nigeria - Shehu Sani by JaskanFactor: 11:39am On Dec 15, 2025
thats cause the entire world belongs to oyinbo and their Indian, Chinese and Lebanese cousins, they have a far better chance of success than dark skinned people in any country in any part of the world,Shehu Sany western agent is talking trash.

They are literally clearing out northern Nigeria by genocide for this same people.

Fun fact, if you look at pictures of Egypt whilst Suez canal was being built or panama when panama canal was being built you will notice it was the nubian dark skinned population in that nation being used as slave labor to build the canals, after the canals were complete those dark skinned people in reach nation were wiped out never to be seen again.

As dark skinned Nigerian , you dont owe Nigeria anything other than your family, cause even your village belongs to oyinbo, and Nigerian government is a Nazi state that operates on giving priority to those with lighter skin complexion. Thats is why there are companies inside Nigeria that can advertise jobs for Indians only. And rightly so cause the Planet belongs to thier Oyinbo cousin.

But you as dark skinned Nigerian dont owe Nigeria anything , it a racist Nazi occupation state currently sponsoring terrorists to wipe out dark skin Nigerians, whilst welcoming Indians, Chinese and Lebanese with red carpet, and rightly so, cause they own the world.

Dont let sellout shehu sani confuse you , the government sponsored terrorists and kidnappers arent looking for Chinese, Lebanese or Indian. They have a world, you dont have a country. Dont hesitate to go where ever you have to go o survive, including outer if you can build space ship.

Hence you the dark skinned Nubians of the world have a greater need than anybody else in the world to support each other.

Most of the foreigners in Nigeria are criminals running away from their country...
The Lebanese community in Nigeria has a longstanding history of dark and illegal business in Nigeria (illegal trade, drug smugling, etc, ).
It's fundamentally important to cross-examine comprehensively Lebanese activities in the country. The Lebaneses get an official job to cover up dubious activities. Time is ripe to shed light on them before Nigeria finds itself unknowingly and unwillingly sponsoring terrorist activities and becomes disgraced internationally.

I'm certainly NOT naive. I have a background in criminal investigations and as a man who has been alive for decades with access to crime statistics of over 40 years at my disposal, I'm aware of the fact that some traditional rulers, are aware alongside other security variables. The wave of foreign Fula herdsmen migration from the West African Sahel countries into parts of the North, Middle Belt, West of Nigeria and East of Nigeria have the imprint of some of these traditional rulers who welcome gifts of cows from these Fulas to operate or tender to their own cows. Most of the cows in the East of Nigeria don't belong to the Fulas but to Ibo dealers who hire the Fulas to take care of them based on credible info from some top members of Miyetti Allah.

Crime reports specific to the mining sector can be formerly made to the office of the Minister of Mines, the Police HQ where special Police investigators and IRT units can be deployed and the DSS for major sting operations and follow-ups if reporting at a local police station can lead to intel being compromised. Period.

The Chinese, Indians and Lebanese are not chasing greener pastures. They are taking advantage of opportunities that Nigerians have chosen to ignore.
the are not chasing any opportunity, the are leveraging and lobbying,the know the cam do anything and get away with that,underpay workers nd get away...the gold and lithium been stolen illegally in North is it done by Nigerians,check other african countries if the Indians are thriving lik the do in Nigeria,because law are working there
Re: Chinese, Indians & Lebanese chasing for greener pastures in Nigeria - Shehu Sani by horlando30:
Shehu is partially right. Like the popular saying that "a prophet lacks honor in his home town" it is easier for an immigrant to notice opportunities and take advantage of it than for the citizens who will generally see same as challenges and would feel entitled to government assistance. There different categories of immigrants coming to Nigeria; the investors, the blue collar expatriate and the oppurtunistic enterpreneur. Many indians and some chinese fall in the blue collar category, you can put these ones greener pastures category. There are also many chinese / lebanese/ indian/ other investors bringing million of dollars in foreign investment into Nigeria many investing in oil/gas/steel/manufacturing
etc. Finally you have the opportunistic enterpreneur who see challenges in Nigeria and built solutions and startup for it, a good example is opay, jumia and gokada. The latter you need so much because they employ a lot of Nigerians. Every country is looking for this last category, infact many countries spend a lot and give incentives to attract them.

Many here are saying yes they have cheap capital thats why they are investong here. Quite the opposite. There are many Nigerians here and in the diaspora with loads of cash and capital that are not ready to take even the slightest risk of investing in Nigeria but these foreigners are. They rather prefer to buy expensive cars, private jets, buy multiple properties, hotels and bars everywhere or keep it in foreign banks or crypto.

Nigerians japa to oyinbo countries even if they are earning N10 million a month in Nigeria, because they have been brainwashed that the white man's ice is colder and everything white is superior and God and Jesus Christ is a white man. So they will prefer to leave a decent job to go and be doing menial jobs abroad in the name of japa.

They would rather employ the Indiabs and pay expatriates in $ than Nigerians.
no be wetin sapagote dey do? e go employ indian spokesman, indians to replace nigerians

Validated:
Shehu Sanni has very low IQ. The Chinese, Lebanese and Indians you see are sponsored by Nigerian elites. The elites MANIPULATE the expatriate quitas to suit themselves. These elites like Shehu Sanni would prefer to partner with these Chinese, Indians and Lebanese than their fellow Nigerians.
When one of the companies in Agbara estate was up for sale, some young entrepreneurs were interested in taking over, having worked there and managed the place. Do you know what, an Indian in cooperation with some rich Nigerians who stole and keep stealing our common wealth bought it. They would rather employ the Indiabs and pay expatriates in $ than Nigerians.

Secondly, I know a Nigerian who was Financial Controller for over a year in a company. He was not given an official car, rather a mere car grant.
Immediately, the guy left and japaed the sane company employed an Indian who was housed in Ikoyi, given an official brand new SUV with a driver and his wife provided a brand new Sedan and a driver for school and house run. Meanwhile, when the Nigerian was there, the company did not see his value. Why, because he is a Nigerian.

Simply put, Nigerians are:

- Tribalistic and value coloured skin than their prople: Would not offer another tribe man the opportunity. Where they do, they find ways and means to frustrate him Check out UAC andcread their Tribalistic stories.
- Nigerians suffer from inferiority complex. They will prefer an "Indian or Chine expert" than locals, who does the real work. This I know for sure. It is the Nigerians that manage ALL governmental relationships.
-An Indian with just a "pirated business proposal" can source millions from our banks, yet a Nigerian with collateral would not. Reason, our banks are also Nigerians.

Unfortunately, if you go to India, China or Lebanon, Nigerians CANNOT own nor operate a business by themselves. NEVER.
I challenge Shehu Sanni to name those stealing the gold in Zamfara. Are they Nigerians or expatriates in collusion with Nigerian Thieving politicians.

Many people make good points here; why we fail to see opportunities at home because the blame is ours. Those Indians and Chinese start from very little just like Nigerians that succeed abroad.

Some here are making the lame excuses Black Americans make about Nigerians and other foreigners in America. Easy loans, discrimination and lack of access to markets. Somebody here put it right. Where Nigerians at home complain of lack of opportunities, foreigners are willing to turn obstacles into opportunities, into markets, into one man business to many people's businesses.

What machine, technology or capital do you need needs to turn INDOMI and eggs into national basic food, replacing our tastes?

The amount of millions in naira people come on social media asking where they can japa to, Indians and other Asians use less to establish in Nigeria. They start by living on top of one another. This is how successful Nigerians start abroad but would never live that way in Nigeria. While Black Americans want to start and live big like Nigerians at home.

It is not only Indians, Koreans and Chinese that are making it in Nigeria, most other African do and are thrilled to get Nigerian VISA!
