There\s nothing wrong with investing in Africa
There's Nothing wrong with you Inve$ting in Africa; Coming 🔙 Home to America & Play Golf ⛳ like they Do 🤷

Our beautiful continent is teeming with untapped potential and boundless opportunities.

Here are compelling reasons why Continental and Diasporan Africans should join hands in investing in Africa:

1️⃣ Economic Empowerment: Investing in Africa isn't just a financial endeavor; it's an investment in our shared economic empowerment. Our combined skills, knowledge, and resources can fuel sustainable growth and transform local communities.

2️⃣ Cultural Renaissance: The richness of African culture is our collective treasure. Returning home allows us to actively contribute to the cultural renaissance, preserving traditions, and fostering a vibrant cultural exchange that enriches us all.

3️⃣ Global Impact: As Africa rises, so does our global influence. By investing in sectors like technology, education, and sustainable development, we shape Africa's narrative on the world stage, dismantling outdated stereotypes and showcasing our collective potential.

A symbiotic relationship between the continent and the diaspora is critical for economic growth and development. Currently, the relationship between Nigeria and its diaspora is at best commensalism.

For example, the World Bank said for 2023, Nigeria’s diaspora remittance was about $20 billion but the Nigerian authorities estimated that over 90 percent of that did not get to Nigeria, they are being externalized.

If we hope to win, we must give each other Continental Africans and Diasporans, the benefit of the doubt and respect as a prelude for cooperation and mutual efforts.
