Sonoiki unveils strategic initiatives for Nigeria-Grenada trade, investment

5) Can you please speak on the opportunities in the finance sector that you think Nigerians can benefit from?

Currently, we are in conversation with a Finnish firm that is prepared to provide Nigerians and Grenadians capital to enable investments there. There are numerous small and medium-sized business opportunities. Ranging from service delivery like the Go-kada service delivery system, Nigerians can afford franchises of some global fast-food outlets and take them there through a business visa instead of the popular “Japa” route. The first mover advantage can possibly earn us some foreign investment yield. It will afford young enterprising Nigerians and Grenadians the synergy and symbiotic relationship.

6) Can you tell us more about the strategic importance of Grenada in the Caribbean region and its global influence?

Grenada is the pride of the Caribbean. I am not saying this because I am representing them. Honestly, if you take a one-week holiday there, you would not want to come back – although they need our collaboration given our business ideas and skills.

Grenada serves as a gateway to both North and South America, including countries such as the United States and Canada. Grenadians have direct access to the United Kingdom and are treated as citizens there. The island is an active member of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and plays a pivotal role in regional economic and security initiatives. The current Prime Minister of Grenada is the one championing the development that is going on in the Caribbean. Globally, Grenada has established strong diplomatic and trade partnerships, contributing to its growing influence on the international stage. It is a very peaceful country that just needs more of the fintech and banking investments and things will improve the more.

In the next five years, the Prime Minister of Grenada and the Nigerian President will be the people who will be globally applauded for championing development across the globe. The opportunities for investment and trade in Grenada are in abundance beyond human eyes.

7) Grenada is known for Tourism and a rich culture. What is your plan to build tourism relations between Grenada and Nigeria?

Nigerians are wealthy individuals in their own right. Tourism plays a crucial role in defining leisure time. I have visited Grenada many times and upon each visit, I have found that there is not enough housing. Short-lets (Airbnb), hotels, and other accommodations are in short supply. There are huge opportunities for wealth creation in the real estate space. Reservations must be made in advance. Thus, if Nigerians can diversify their risks and see the potential, they get to earn a lot of money. You can conduct your business in Nigeria and also expand it to Grenada. We know places in Grenada where you can develop real estate, which is one of the major industries there. Nigerians can make a ton of foreign exchange via real estate.

Medical tourism is another area that is also viable in terms of investments. Nigerian physicians are excellent and renowned, and we can forge collaboration and partnership between both countries in the medical field. Waste management and renewal energy are among the few interests we can also explore.

8) What are the benefits of obtaining a Grenadian citizenship? And then in this age of “Japa”, why do you think Nigerian youths should ditch countries like the UK, and Canada and opt for Grenada?

Speaking of citizenship, if you want to be a citizen of America or Canada, you may need to be there physically for the next three to five years to acquire such privilege. You do not need to do that with Grenada, whose passport affords you access and visa-free movement to about 150 destinations. You can become a global citizen through Grenada in less than six months, although the country will undertake very thorough international checks and processes.

Your access to London, Paris, Switzerland, Russia, and China will become a delight and pride. You may also enjoy as much as 10 years of visa access to both America and Canada. Why would you want to be subjected to humiliation and unwarranted hardship in another country when you can enjoy the privileges in Grenada, the Pride of the Caribbean?

If you choose to visit Grenada to explore and experience first-hand, we will be delighted to issue appropriate entry visas before determining your next step of action.

Young talented and enterprising Nigerians can take advantage of the small business opportunities, creating sustainable wealth and preserving the same for their effort and sweat.

9) Can you pinpoint specific education opportunities in Grenada?

St. George’s University in Grenada is a renowned medical college of repute from where Canada and America select over 1,000 medical doctors from year to year. We can assist Nigerian students who want to become a medical student at St. George’s University in Grenada. The Honorary Consulate of Grenada is always willing and ready to be of assistance to all Africans desirous of this journey. You can stay, work, and live there and still find yourself back to Nigeria, your home.

10) On trade, what is the trade relation between Nigeria and Grenada and can you put a value to it?

If you go on the internet, you will see the level of trade between Nigeria and Grenada over the years. You will also see the paradigm shift in the trade volume in the two years. We are putting effort together to enhance collaboration in export between both countries and the rest of the world. I want a situation where an exporter of spices in Nigeria can increase their volume of trade to Canada, America and Europe through a continuum and synergy of both countries, thereby making them aggregators for the sales and distribution of commodities. You are not just a Nigerian exporter; you are also exporting from your partners in Grenada.
