FDI to Nigeria Declines Amidst Unending Global Galivanting and Uncoordinated Reforms

While the President, Ministers, and other government officials continue their global galivanting in search of FDI, our poor performance in key governance indicators - such as rule of law, regulatory quality, government effectiveness, and voice and accountability - continues to prove that you cannot attract sustainable foreign investment with poor leadership and governance.

According to a recent report by the National Bureau of Statistics, FDI to Nigeria sharply declined by about 70% in the first quarter of 2025, falling to only $126.29 million from $421.8 million in the last quarter of 2024. Of the total capital importation of about $5.64 billion in the first quarter of 2025, FDI accounted for only about 2.24%, compared to 8.2% in Q4 2024. Disturbingly, about 90% of the imported capital went into speculative money market instruments. With such a high proportion of capital importation flowing into speculative investments, the impact on industrial growth or job creation is highly insignificant and elusive, given the ease with which such “hot money” can exit the economy.

Let me reiterate: sustainable economic growth and development cannot be achieved through poor leadership and weak governance—problems that are clearly reflected in declining FDI and our poor performance in key governance indicators. To further illustrate our precarious situation, capital flows to the manufacturing sector declined exponentially by 32.1%, dropping to only $129.92 million in Q1 2025 from $191.92 million in the same quarter of 2023. There is no better confirmation of the lack of trust in this government, whose reforms remain uncoordinated and largely reactive.

In 2024, while global FDI flows declined, FDI to Africa significantly increased to $97 billion—a rise of about 75% compared to 2023. Europe, the United States, and China were the main sources of this FDI. Egypt attracted the highest share in Africa, with $46.58 billion. Other top recipients included Ethiopia ($3.98 billion), Côte d’Ivoire ($3.80 billion), Mozambique ($3.55 billion), Uganda ($3.30 billion), Democratic Republic of Congo ($3.11 billion), South Africa ($2.47 billion), Namibia ($2.06 billion), Senegal ($2.02 billion), Guinea ($1.83 billion), and Morocco ($1.64 billion).

Most disappointingly, our dear nation, Nigeria—the so-called “Giant of Africa”—received only $1.08 billion, about 1% of Africa’s total FDI, representing a decline of about 42% from 2023. Worse still, after this 42% drop between 2023 and 2024, FDI to Nigeria has further declined by 75% between Q4 2024 and Q1 2025. We cannot achieve sustainable growth and development with ineffective leadership and a weak government.

I've just come out of a conversation with a contact who is engaged in the Sahel, and the one piece of advise I have for the multiple Burkinabés from media, academia and civil society who are currently being contacted by the usual suspects to lend their vocal and intellectual support to the artificial anti-Traoré bandwagon that Paris and DC are putting together is this:

Remember that there is nothing special about you.

The same way they're reaching out to you and acting as if they respect you and your work, is the same way they've reached out to many of us across the sub-region. I promise you are not special to them at all. You're just useful. For now. The respect and reverence they are treating you with is the same affected "respect" they have bamboozled us with for 500 years, because they know that nothing gets a black man's pussy wet like receiving "respect" and "honour" from his European overlords.

They did the same thing in Nigeria between 2011 and 2015. Every squirrel, antelope, Aisha, Dipo, and Japheth who offered even the mildest criticism of Goodluck Jonathan was immediately carried aloft and paraded around as a champion of this and that by the oyibos. It didn't take them long to figure out that "Jonathan Must Go" was their ticket to what seemed like everlasting favours, treats, and funding from oyibo, and they all started unanimously pushing to oust the president that took Nigeria to #1 economy in Africa and 3rd fastest growing on the planet.

Many of these people didn't even dislike Goodluck Jonathan - they just saw that pretending as if Nigeria was being ruled by Pol Pot was their ticket out of poverty and obscurity. Some of them built this career grift in 24 months all the way from Twitter into Chevening scholarships, IVLPs, Mandela Washington Fellowships, speaking appearances in Taiwan, Canadian passports, etc etc. But those were only the lucky few. The vast majority of this demographic got discarded like a used pure water bag immediately the oyibos got their desired regime change.

Since they got their regime change, Nigeria has fallen off a cliff from #1 to #4 in Africa, losing over 60% of GDP in just 10 years. I will repeat that for emphasis. While other countries in Africa grew at 2-5% annually over the past 10 years, Nigeria SHRANK by over 60%, and you can now find Nigerians desperately searching for a better life in Burkina Faso, Algeria, Mali, Libya, Tunisia, Liberia, and even Niger which used to hold the title of "poorest country in the world." Most of the loudmouths who helped make this a reality have fallen back into obscurity and poverty.

Many of them are in their 40s and 50s now, and they're still busy chasing gigs and hunting for $1000 here, $2,500 there. A few of them did become puppet unicorns, but the vast majority are back to being absolutely nobody 10 years after they allowed foreign attention and dollars to override their natural caution and stampede them into the 2nd worst ever national mistake in Nigeria's history after the completely unnecessary civil war.

Many of them walk around in a constant state of confusion now, unable to understand why their lives are much worse nowadays, and the oyibos who seemingly cared so much about whatever they had to say between 2011 and 2015 are no longer answering the phone or replying messages. If you allow these same oyibos to inflate your egos and use it to push your mouths into parroting their narrative for their own geopolitical goals, the exact same thing will happen to you.

Before you allow the thirst for white people's validation and money to shape your responses to the questions they are currently deluding you with, just ask yourself this one question:

All those years when Burkina Faso was the deadest country on the planet and Blaise Campaore's regime was shooting Burkinabés dead in the street, where were all these bleeding heart white people? Why didn't they care then?

Why do they care about Ibrahim Traoré now? What is this REALLY about?

@IkejaElectric The fact that I've been painstakingly paying your stupid Band A that doesn't guarantee regular power, then coming home to confused state in my neighbourhood where all light were disconnected n reconnection is man know man. I'm tired of this entity called Nigeria.

It's always just a matter of time. All those carefully concealed secrets always eventually come to light in their full ugliness.

I am ever elated by the huge success Nigerian youths are making in various fields, especially in the entertainment sector.

I like therefore to extend my hearty congratulations to our Nigerian Afrobeats star, Tems @temsbaby , who just secured her second Grammy Award with her win in the Best African Music Performance category.

I also rejoice with Nigeria's entertainment industry and other Nigerian artists who were nominated for different awards in their respective categories.

Undoubtedly, Nigeria remains home to the endless flow of talents who through their creative arts, continue to put the nation on the global map.

I firmly remain committed to building a nation that fosters growth among the youths and helps them discover and harness their individual talents for national productivity.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

I was 25 when these people came and took over my country. I was at the peak of my life. And they stole it from me.

Even if Nigerians somehow manage to do what Ghana did in 2027, the recovery to return Nigeria to where it was in 2015 will take AT LEAST another decade.

That means the next time my country will be able to catch a glimpse of the glory it was starting to see in my youth, I will be nearly 50 years old.

Life successfully wasted.

Thank you o @AishaYesufu, @EiENigeria, @ChidiOdinkalu, @DSamsonItodo, @sowore, @PremiumTimesng et al. Your well-compensated services to the Empire at our collective expense are well appreciated.

Una do well.

[Iyo Obietonbara @sankofa360]

This war became crystal clear to me in early 2015. Exactly 5 weeks to the elections in Nigeria, a friend of mine that served in the British army messaged and asked me to leave Nigeria with my family asap as he had mistakenly stumbled on an info that detailed a plan to launch a military campaign in Nigeria by the U.S government with the full support of David Cameron. Two weeks before the elections, I was reliably informed again that U.S troops have been deployed at Labadi Ghana and a U.S carrier stationed at the Gulf Of Guinea.

Everything was set for the military occupation of Nigeria by the Obama led U.S administration. Fortunately for Nigeria, @GEJonathan was a few steps ahead of them.

The enemies within who had worked with the U.S thought the U.S was all about the regime change. But for the U.S they had really hoped that @GEJonathan would fight the injustice against him as that was all they needed to put boots on the ground.

The plan was to cause havoc using the mercenaries they brought into the country from North, central and West Africa and the U.S eventually intervening. Nigeria would have been worse than Somalia, Libya, Syria and Sudan.

GEJ said: Not Under My Watch. He was a few steps ahead.

In appreciation for what @GEJonathan did for Nigeria which many Nigerians are still unaware of, I dedicated my book, 'Rebirthing The African Consciousness' to him.

A very big thank you to @DavidHundeyin for being that Nigerian journalist with a difference. Always doing everything within his power to open the eyes and minds of our people.

I love that you slaves bring this issue up all the time.
For everytime you do, I will send you to your masters!

Abunu!

[Mr Macaroni @mrmacaroni]

The only reason A public servant can assault a Nigerian and go Scot free is because Politicians in Nigeria are above the law.
This is not the first time something like this would happen.
However, if a citizen were to assault a politician, he or she would be in jail right now or could have been kidnapped by security agents or even shot dead…

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Have I really crossed the line?

I ask the question because my New Year message has now led to threats against my life, my family, and those around me. While I have received all sorts of messages, one Mr. Felix Morka has gone further to accuse me of "crossing the line" and has warned that I will face the consequences.

I find it necessary to share this message again and urge everyone who has not seen it to watch:

https://t.co/f26UDjdT7Z

If I have truly crossed the line, I invite anyone to point it out, as I remain committed to upholding decorum. However, I will not be silenced in my resolve to speak truthfully, especially as our nation continues to drift toward undemocratic practices.

We are increasingly transforming into an authoritarian and repressive regime, where freedom of expression is being systematically suppressed.

May God help us create a better and freer society for the sake of our children. -PO
