My hearts goes to the Nigerian youths, the job seekers and those without means of livelihood. It is very tough these days.

Graduate unemployment has reached an all time low, never seen in decades in Nigeria.

Let them go. They are no more than vultures anyway. I do not know of any country that achieved serious development through foreign investors. Nigerians, it's your country, develop it. Don't wait for foreigners. What they bring is peanuts compared to what Nigerians in diaspora send home every year, except that those funds need to re-directed to the right sectors.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says President Muhammadu Buhari may not do well in economy and foreign affairs, except in military matters.

“Buhari is not a very hot person on the economy and foreign affairs,” Obasanjo said.

The former President stated this on Monday at the third International Conference on African Development Issues — themed, “Driving inclusive and sustainable development in Africa: Models, methods and policies” — organised by Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State.

While reacting to a question posed to him by a member of the audience: “Is there any hope for Nigeria under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari?”, Obasanjo replied, “Is there any hope for Nigeria under this administration? I came back from Geneva, Switzerland a few days ago to attend a conference titled, ‘Are elections giving democracy a bad name?’ We had an election, we elected a leader and the good thing about democracy is that the power you have to elect a leader is also the power you have to remove him. I am saying this because I said earlier that if you don’t see any leader that has done well in the 56 years of Nigeria’s independence, then let us forget about Nigeria.

“I will tell you what I know and I will tell you what I don’t know. I know Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. He served under me in the military. His characteristics that I know, his behaviour that I know, he has not deviated from them. He was never a perfect man, he is not a perfect man and no leader can ever be a perfect man because they are human beings. But if you read my book, what I said about him is correct. He is not a hot person when it comes to economy. He is not a very hot person when it comes to foreign affairs. But he will do well in matters of military and he will do well in fighting Boko Haram.”

Re: More Foreign Investors Leave As FPI Flows Crash By 228% by ivandragon: 1:40pm On Aug 31, 2020
It's not all bad news...

That local investors are stepping up to fill the gaps left by foreign investors is a positive trend though it cannot fully cover up the loss of investor confidence generally.

My concern is who are the local investors picking up the slack? I hope it's not those who have looted the treasury & now want to take control of companies they are incapable of running...

Who wouldn't run away from a place that likes to move the goal post every time.

A very childish and unserious market.

Just because we are more than a 100million doesn't mean that every one has cash to spend, or if they spend and it is all imported that means no circulation.

On top of that, no light, no security, no clear cit laws, just a slew of unseriousness in every sector.


Due to all these internal missteps, gh can think of bullying us.

@Ambiitiouscent, I can feel your pain from your posts, but please and please delete identifying and other cult-related information that put your personal safety at risk.

Whatever you've lost, God can restore you; whatever pain you feel, God can heal and make you find destiny and purpose that cultism may have attempted to destroy.

A very poor one at that... The way they all shamelessly latched on the 'Covid-19 narrative' was just pathetic and laughable... A stranger would think they were actually growing economically prior to the pandemic. Smh!

Are you a joker?


No country achieves serious development through foreign investors?
Are you a joker?

China lifted itself up on the back of foreign investments
Foreign investments almost singlehandedly powered China, both in direct investments and portfolio investments

Japan was powered up by foreign investments too at their initial stage
Before they got on their feet


NO COUNTRY can do it on its own
For Nigeria to develop
WE NEED MASSIVE FOREIGN INVESTMENTS


"Let them.go" indeed undecided

At least you are being honest about it... Most self-deceiving sycophants will avoid this thread at all cost! Any other thread showcasing one mundane white elephant project, and they will crawl out blowing useless trumpets, and trading insults with anyone who dares call out such mediocrity.

If this is how most voting youths of this nation think and act, then this nation is eternally doomed!!!

You did well! To me, that's another form of evangelism. Getting people to do what is right. I returned to one filling after I noticed I was shortchanged, for the gauge only slightly moved.I got my money's worth after firm/very direct complaint/threat of unsavoury consequences. I don't tolerate or condone extortion/thieving!I can give if asked or I'm the mood, but will never accept blatant cheating.
BTW, we need a thread to address these errors at our service points whether filling station, shops etc. This cunning culture can even drive away foreign investors.

When employers underpay their staff, these kinds of things are bound to happen

Are their youths are as useless and docile like Nigerian youths? Everyone are busy with BBN right now, isn't it? Misplaced priorities everywhere. Instead for the youths to put the country on hold, they are busy wasting their lives on stupid stuffs.
