All nations of the world, both the developed and the developing are all eagerly looking for foreign investors or investments as a major boost that will add beautiful colors to their national economies. The foreign investments create jobs and financial opportunities for the citizens in countries where they go to. The foreign investments bring new tax revenues to the governments of the nations where they move to, contribute to their national GDPs and international image.
Why are these foreign investments not coming to Nigeria? These foreign investments always operate in nations that have the supremacy of the rule of law effectively in place. A nation where those investments are truly safe and are protected by the laws in those countries. A nation where the public elected officials and the top civil servants do not demand favors, bribes or kickbacks from the would-be investors before they are allowed or licensed to operate or run their businesses in those countries. A nation where the life, properties and the personal security of the citizens and the foreign residents are truly guaranteed. A nation where foreign workers are never kidnapped for ransoms by the Niger Delta militant groups or kidnapped and killed by the terrorist groups such as Boko Haram and Ansaru to score political and religious points.
