Canada, others seek more bi-lateral trade with Nigerians
Canada, Europe and some Caribbean countries hjklare seeking more bi-lateral trade with Nigerians to boost mobility and migration.
They disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja at “The Investment Migration West Africa Roadshow 2024” organised by Henley and Partners, a global leader in residence and citizenship by investment.
Mr Ryan Guy, the Regional Director and Programme Managaer, Canadian Startup Visa Services, said that Nigeria was doing well business-wise and its economy growing rapidly which was an incentive for its citizens to expand into the Americas via Canada.
“We bring high net worth business people and their whole entire families to Canada to set up businesses to do bilateral trade with Nigeria and Canada.
“We actually accept more people from Nigeria into Canada than any other country and it is the third largest country that we bring into Canada.
“So for a lot of people, it’s access to capital and to education and the great thing about this is that when they get educated, they come back.
“So it’s a great way to do bilateral trade by education, by funding, and by opportunities. There’s a lot of things that Canada wants from Nigeria and West Africa”, Guy said.
The Managing Partner, Henley and Partners, UK, Stuart Wakeling, urged Nigerian investors to take advantage of investment opportunities abroad.
According to him, the company is giving opportunities to people who are open to change and who want to explore new opportunities, without forgetting their original heritage.
“Nigeria is a country rich with culture, opportunity and it’s own its fair share of uncertainty and limitations.
“If you are interested in exploring what we do, you are indeed in good company. We are growing steadily, because having a ‘plan b’ residence, or having greater global mobility via an alternative citizenship, or even increased business and lifestyle opportunity, is now paramount in an increasingly fractured and volatile world.
“It is a very simple fact that nobody can choose where they are born, it is indeed your own individual passport lottery.”
Wakeling said that along with the company’s partner firms, Henley and Partners offer additional or alternative citizenship and residence in the world’s leading jurisdictions.
“We are in fact the global leaders in investment migration and have over 25 years experience in revolutionising the industry and providing unparalleled levels of options and client satisfaction.”
The Executive Vice President, Mecan, Mehdi Kadri, said that the world of investment migration was increasingly dynamic and changing.
“Just this year, we have witnessed a large increase in costs for the Caribbean. Lately Portugal has removed its real estate entry point, Ireland has closed down, Montenegro closed down, Malta increase its prices along with Greece and Turkey and others.
“This means that now is the time to move forward because, as we have heard, demand for alternative or additional residence or citizenship is increasing dramatically and with that the prices and difficulties will follow”, he said.
On her part, the Founder of Bridge and Partners, Fatma Cayir, said her firm gives advice on full relocation, assisting investors and families relocating to the UK and setting up their businesses.
“As a firm, we handle all the legal work when it comes to UK immigration, we work with partners, businesses, entrepreneurs globally.”
She also advised that when considering expanding to the UK, what was important was understanding the UK market, understanding the legal system and working with professionals in specialised fields like immigration, tax, accountancy, real estate.
“So it’s really important to first know what the objectives are and what the requirements are before taking that first step.”
The Legal Consultant, Range Developments, Siobham Lloyed said the roadshow was a great opportunity for Nigerian investors who were interested in obtaining a second citizenship or passport to get first hand information about what obtains in the Caribbean.
The roadshow is part of the company’s ongoing efforts to present investment migration opportunities to wealthy individuals and business owners across the region.

My Herbal Medicines Are Well Accepted Across The Globe, Prof Amodu Reveals
By David Maxwell
One of Nigeria’s leading voices in the support and propagation of herbal medicine, Professor Benjamin Amodu has revealed that his herbal medicines are widely accepted across the globe.
He made this revelation while speaking to our reporter at his laboratory in Abuja.
Amodu, known for his herbal cure for serveral communicable and non-communicable diseases like malaria, asthma, diabetes, enlarged heart, various cancers, chronic kidney disease even into the end stage, has boldly revealed that his herbal products enjoy a huge acceptance across the globe.
“Our medications are well accepted, both at home here in Nigeria and abroad too.
“This is because we’ve been sending our medicines not only to countries within the African continent, but also countries in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, America and even Oceania.
“We usually send our herbal medicines to Ghana, Cameroon, Egypt, South Africa and many other African countries, and even to Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the United Kingdom, USA, France, Australia, the Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, Canada and virtually everywhere around the world without any issues.
“We have been sending them to these places via DHL and we haven’t had any issues whatsoever.”
Amodu also spoke of the wide acceptance his his herbal medicines have been enjoying at home here in Nigeria.
He said, “even though we may not have had the support anymore expects from the government, but the Nigerian people are not waiting for the government to tell them to either accept our medications or not.
“Since many patients we have treated with our products and get cured of the ailments keep talking about and announcing for others to know, we haven’t had a short supply of patients who either come to us themselves or through family members and other caregivers.
“So if the USA, UK, Canada and all these other countries can accept our treatment, plus those at home here in Nigeria, then I can confidently say that my products are well recognized and accepted across the world.”
Having spent about four decades researching into Traditional, Complimentary and Alternative Medicine, TCAM, with scores of papers published in reputable health journals and peer reviewed, Amodu, a professor of phytomedicine from the Triune Biblical University, USA, is no doubt a leading advocate for alternative medicine.
