China is really taking this advice to heart. Even now the Chinese government is investing heavily in the African oil and minerals sector, using their expertise to help African countries upgrade their infrastructure (roads, electricity, pipelines etc.), and providing cheap capital for African countries to exploit and grow, thereby making many friends and allies in the process. China is helping them grow, gaining strong geopolitical influence and privileged access to growing markets.

Sorry Mrs Ngozi, you’re well educated, but Nigeria is a s***hole. The corruption is deeper than a black hole. Maybe, just maybe, if Nigeria started with something as little as (um… i don’t know) STABLE ELECTRICITY???

I don’t know how a nation is meant to develop, let alone tackle corruption if the electricity is constantly being switched off on random daily basis. Start with a stable power supply and then i’ll take you seriously.

chinnyization, you have brashfully expressed your thoughts (and I dare say without proper reason). I agree with Bladen12345 that your argument is very weak. You obviously have misunderstood Ngozi; she is making a point on the power of foreign direct investment. I am sure that she pointed out that african governments have their failings, but her aim is to illustrate the wisdom of higher FDI as a better means of aiding africa as opposed to ‘Charity Aid’.

My reasoning may hold very little significance on HERE,but at least people like you are reading it.Whatever you may think might be better, doesn’t change the fact the TALK IS CHEAP!!! I LOVE NGOZI FOR WHAT SHE STANDS FOR,BUT IF SHE REALLY IS DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER CROOKS THERE HAS TO BE SOME OBVIOUS RESULTS FOR WHAT SHE STANDS FOR!WE DON’T NEED ANY MORE TALKS,and I don’t need anymore talks with you,SINCE YOU SEEM NOT TO REALIZE THAT ANY TALK WITH NO RESULT IS OBVIOUSLY CHEAP.GOODLUCK & BYE

Your reasoning is fairly weak. Ngozi explained it well and I think a lot of people understand, because I sure did.

What you need to come to terms with is that your views hold extremely little significance here.

Talking about it on YouTube solves nothing.

Clearly, you don’t really care, that’s why you’re not willing to get money, job, scholarships etc to further support the financial “fight”.

Instead you use the keyboard as weapon to promote your views where no one’s gonna give a damn about what you have to say.

Caps locking your views will do nothing.

If you’re truly concerned, go out there and try to make a difference.

Otherwise… shut up.

I have to commend this wonderful lady for bringing up the role of the swiss/western bankers. They never seem to be included in the debate of “african corruption.

These crooks (african leaders) are hiding their stolen loot with the other crooks (Western bankers). Thank you Ms Ngozi- Iweala.

Common sense isnt a common thing and that is why ignorance still thrives especially with people that know nothing about us.Its encouraging to know even though the world is not ready to see it, that the Nigerian people have taken the destiny we share into our hands and are making a head way.Those who hear us sing and hear nusery rhymes miss our songs of survival, those that see the lines in our hands as lines drawn by our idle forefathers miss the beauty in our palmistry.We’re one,and are rising

i cant believe how shallow minded many of the people commenting on this video are. here we have an intelligent and powerful nigerian women enlightening foreigners about the economic beauty and potential for prosperity that is africa, and all you guys can do is bring up racist ignorant remarks? can you open your eyes and ears for just a moment? it is a shame the legacy that slavery and european colonialism has today, and im a particularly embarrassed as a human being that we cannot move beyond

How can we be sure that Nigerian business partners (contractors even) won’t swindle the fledgling Nigerian consumer industries (or gov’t)? Circumstances have changed since Africa first dealt with the occidental world, but the dangers of exploitation still reside.

Cozmikzen, I commend your condemnation of both because their intents are immoral. Yes, you may not have done anything to an African and we know that many Euro-americans did not. We take that into account. But you are an inadvertent partaker of the privileges, institutionalized racial inequities in American that was bequeathed as legacy through those centuries. I believe you are corrected for blaming one and exonerating the other. In the final analysis all human blood is one. We hate not. Chill.
