Quite agree with you. Nicely stated

Muslims will frown against this because of Muslims want to boycott France.
Worsat is they like the dividends but hate the relationship.
Hope this news is not too early, if all the Imams controlling Buhari hears this news now, they will prevail on him to reject the deal and Osibanjo will become a liar.

A rare case of prey offering itself to its predator on a platter of gold.
Nigeria knows that their little shoulder-rubbing with France over who should be the figure head in West Africa (mainly in countries colonised by France), and the Sahel (Sahel countries bordering Nigeria, that were colonised by France) will destroy her in the long run and is now trying to seek a level ground.
A wise leader will take side with Turkey due to their rising influence in the Sahel, and in some parts of West Africa and use the rift between Turkey, and France to their advantage. Our leaders need to understand Geopolitics, you don't lend an age long enemy the hand of friendship so easily.

This is a very good one. It will help encourage other foreign investors in Nigeria.

The vision is to create significant improvement in the business environment and support for business sectors.

Nigeria and other Anglophone countries will always come behind Francophone countries the way France relates with Africa.
