Publisher's Synopsis
About the Book.
Let us not pretend: Nigeria has a bad image coming from history of bad leadership, documented events of lawlessness, impunity and from some subjects for which Nigeria is popular: corruption and advanced fee fraud (aka 419). Nigeria is not a minnow either: being the largest economy and by population, largest country in Africa, currently the 7th most populous country in the world (but projected to be 3rd most populous country in the world---733million---by 2050) and a powerful continental and regional player. Yet, millions of Nigerians are by emigration scattered across the world driven by the harsh realities of Nigerian environment. Still millions of descendants of emigrants and the emigrants themselves dream of returning to a country they now know little about. Further, no discerning business person from anywhere in the world can dismiss Nigeria. They want a piece of the cake of a nation that is in the top 25 biggest economies in the world. Business people needs and wants Nigeria. Nigerians at home also wonder how to navigate and survive the Nation that seems to puzzle everyone: A desire that is wrought with high risks. This book is for everyone mentioned above: A guide to help readers to minimise the risk, understand Nigeria in-depth and to help readers to take a full advantage of the vast and untapped opportunities that are available in one of the top oil exporters in the world with almost a virgin economy or a country that is yet to fully take off.
