nuclearboy: Nigeria has the greatest resource of any country in Africa - Human beings! This population automatically provides the largest market for ANY goods/services on the African continent!

So what is the news here? Is it Somali that investors should rush to?

Abeg make we hear word!

Anyway what have those investments brought OUR own way?

otumfour: THE ONLY PROBLEM NIGERIA HAS IS THE NIGERIAN

Kingmojo: The only problem Ghana has with the Chinese is illegal mining and we are addressing the problem unlike Nigeria. Take a look at the problems in Niger delta it has been going on for years. We solve problems while Nigeria tend to pile it up

Kingmojo: The same thing is going on in Nigeria, at least ghaba has the balls to deport the Chinese when they are caught but can't say the same about Nigeria.

chei: Nigerians are delusional. Let us look at the facts:
1. We are the most corrupt country in the world
2. We have some of the most corrupt individuals in the world
3. Our citizens are highly and likely to be involved in illegal activities wherever they go
4. We hate ourselves

These are the three primary reasons we're hated and despised by other citizens of the world. We shouldn't sit back and criticize them for hating us when we are mostly at fault and the cause of the hatred. If we're law abiding and of good character, these things wouldn't happen. Even in our country, we can't put our acts right, how do we then expect to behave properly in another country.

They're helping by treating us bad, we should look inwardly and ask ourselves deep questions first rather than slinging mud at our opponents

Kingmojo: No one comes to Nigeria for better life anymore so u won't find any recent xenophobia attack

Tumisang: No!!!

Tumisang: If we didn't have "kind-open-hearts" they wouldn't be here to begin with.

Maris beybe: i hate them too! *spits on dat rotten country*

otumfour: ....we don't hate y'all, we J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊ƨ̣̣̣̇̇̇̇τ̣̣̥ don't click as a people, get tht through ur thick skull, we don't click, we juz don't click....dear Lord how did we end up in the same region?.....why tha fhuck wud a Ghanaian envy a Nigerian for? ....is it boko or constant epileptic electricity supply?

onila: no one hates prostitutes

pple feel bad for them and not hate them

Kingmojo: Yet they keep blaming all their problems on Nigeriens and Chadians. Didn't they kick out Ghanaians because of xenophobia. Nigeriens are not innocent, they are just as xenophobic as the people they are accusing.

CAMEROONPRIDE: we rejected Nigeria go and learn your history. We are proudly Cameroonian. government/leaders come and go. we are not marginalized and don't regret anything . stop making up stories. you must b Igbo always talking about secession .

CAMEROONPRIDE: we are talking about xenophobia and hypocrisy . never said we are perfect , but at least we don't go about insulting people in their own land , but dude no matter how hard you twist it .NIgerians are the worldwide known crooks , deal with it . and you are as xenophobic as SA .period so stop whining like little girls.

CAMEROONPRIDE: lwkd. naijans always playing the innocent victims. you reap what you sow . period. if nigerians were law abiders in SA people would b more tolerant. See them insulting Sa, yet the same people were insulting Nigerien , Cameroonians and chadians because bokoharam leader is a nigerien .xenophobia is not only physical , but mental, moral, spiritual etc.

i rest my case

bloggernaija: IMF REJECTS IMF? That is news to me

oluwadare26: How on earth did this Retardeen become a president?. Do anybody have to tell him that Amaechi is smarter than him.....

seunfly: They have something important to talk about, infact the meeting was called to discuss d way forward about d revenue that was cut down from ministry of finance under d presidency. It is known fact that oga jona is d one who has nothing to say, he just call d dinner to cover up d shame of jang and i wonder when he will let this Ngf issue go and wait 4 Ameichi somewhere else, rather than ds Tom and Jerry thing they are doing on Ngf.

Wallie: Calm down! There's no reason to get emotional. No one denies the potential that Nigeria holds. But Nigeria's case is like that of gifted athlete that could have made it to the world stage but keeps messing up and never moved past the local league. I'm sure we all know of a brilliant classmate in high school that we run into later in life only to comment on how intelligent the kid was back then!

Wasted talent/gift is worse than not having the talent/gift in the first place.

Wallie: There are some many ignorant people on this thread it's not even funny! There's nothing wrong in being proud of one's own or even being overly enthusiastic but one has to inject a semblance of reality!

Obama skipped Nigeria because Nigeria is perceived to be regressing. Do you guys also realize that he's skipping Kenya? Do you know why? The democratically elected Kenyan president, Uhuru Kenyatta, is currently facing charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The foreign policy is simple. Do not encourage/reward bad behavior from foreign leaders. Do you know that as staunch an ally the US is to Israel, Obama did not visit Israel until a couple of months ago?

I head a commentary today on the News about a new push to stop lumping the African continent together when investment opportunities are spoken of. The investors realize that there are some countries that are truly reformed and provide a great atmosphere to invest. Countries mentioned were South Africa, Ghana and Tanzania. I wonder why the so-called giant of Africa is missing!

Lastly, you guys seem to think that the US will lose out if Nigeria is ignored. My question is lose out on what exactly, oil? Look at the oil import trend from Nigeria and you decide:

2007
413,932 Annual-Thousand Barrels

2008
361,659 Annual-Thousand Barrels

2009
295,310 Annual-Thousand Barrels

2010
373,297 Annual-Thousand Barrels

2011
298,732 Annual-Thousand Barrels

2012
161,42 Annual-Thousand Barrels
