The backstory, a lot of Nigerians were very pro trump (some still are:francis:)but since He targetted them amongst other countries with new green card reform and the H-B1 visa, they have started calling out their own
They thought He was only going to target the "messicans":mjlol:

As trashy as America is right now, Nigeria looks like a Country that could take a gigantic step forward if they can get enough foreign investors.
Impossible. They aren't a serious country. One of the worst investment environments in Africa when you consider consider corruption, theft, corruption, poor infrastructure, corruption, bad tax regimes, corruption, traffic congestion, violent crime, terrorism, restrictive vat/tariff regimes for bring in heavy equipment, and did i forget to mention corruption?

Its a shame because they have too much potential .


It's the kind of place where you would only feel comfortable setting up extractive industries because You're whole investment is endangered as a foreigner If you risk your capital by trying to add value to products in their country. A place where your own local business partner is liable to scam you. Or alternatively you can do like turkey who has strategically chosen to keep its investments offshore in gigantic ships so that their infrastructure isnt stolen, and if they are harrased by corrupt govt officials they can just lift anchor and leave.


The only exception I've seen is China. They came in as a nation and advocated for their own people to have local business parks with lower taxes and semi autonomy from local govt fckery. And chinese govt investment banks took risk off of individual investors by loaning start up costs to their citizens starting ventures in Nigeria through the belt and Road initiative. But China could only get to this level by leveraging their gigantic economy on a political level from Beijing. Trump has no interest in doing this on behalf of Americans

You absolutely nailed it

There's also lack of electricity, which is a major issue.
How can a country whose president relies on solar panels and generator to power aso rock (nigeria's white house equivalent) expect foreign investment

How does one get out from under this?

That's been my question for the longest.

Just One leader who cares.

There was once a time where botswana , seychelles, and rwanda had similar problems (except the terrorism) . All it took was a leader with vision and devotion to their country.

Something needs to change. They have a large population. That population values education. They have resources. Their infrastructure is lacking, but they are working on it. They probably should look at what China and India did in order to move forward, because they were once in the same position as Nigeria, including being ripped off by England as colonies. Nigeria being in BRICS with China and India presents a chance to move forward, especially with the USA being so trashy these days.
