Yes, it very likely, they will get another debt forgiveness soon. The world doesn't like a poor Nigeria breeding Boko haram, immigration, international crime, and drug trafficking. To some extent they are smartly hopeless. Multilateral and bilateral loans are more AID than real debt.

What I really pity is Tanzania and Ghana who have taken lots of commercial debt. If they get into turbulence - and say South African bank is being asked to let go of a billion dollars. Ohoo men they will demand an Island!! or start seizing embassies, airplanes and anything written Tanzania and sell it.

Countries like Ghana, Zambia, and now Tanzania when they get rejected by multilateral or bilateral donors - they rush to commercial banks - and get loans - and start building nonsense - and then they fail to pay - and they go Argentina way.

Just googling a little bit tells you Paris club is IMF in a mask cool No one needs a dose. I came up with that infor without seeing RVP's post,,,its expected of smart ppl anyway!



By 1985 you had 19 B debt in dollars...one of the most heavily indebted countries at the time. Apparently you even printed money to pay off the debt

rvp2018:
That details. The point is your received 18B dollars free money. If you had been forced to repay it all..you probably would have sunk.

Now talking of Kenya - We have gone to Paris club - for debt rescheduling - never debt forgiveness. We have NEVER DEFAULTED. We KNOW MORE ABOUT PRUDENT PUBLIC MANAGEMENT than many many African countries.

https://www.treasury.go.ke/aboutus/directorates/35-departments/debt-management/137-debt-relief-initiatives.html
Kenya has gone to Paris Club three times for rescheduling in 1994, 2000, and 2004

1) 1994 - Kenya rescheduled US$ 4 Million - this was Loan to Kenya Airways that our gov had guaranteed - and KQ was in danger of collapsing. After Gok repaid the loan - we privatized KQ and it's been flying high until recently. One of most successful privatisation of an Airline worldwide.

2) 2000 - we had a huge budget deficit as our economy was basically under recession -we agreed with the Paris Club of creditors to reschedule 300m dollars.

3)Lastly 20004- This last was the Paris club agreement- we had about 450M dollars rescheduled.
US$ 350 Million was rescheduled for a consolidation period of 3 years
US$ 65 Million for this Financial year
Japan rescheduled US$ 197.4 (56%), Million.

Kenya promptly paid as per agreement and we got back to schedule with our debts. If I recall Italy was only one who swapped debt -for aid - basically they converted their debt into development program - so we repay but keep the money for Italian approved projects...very small money.

For commercial loans - we went to London club - got debt cancellation of interest of 21m dollars in 90s and rescheduling of 49m dollars - the 90s and early 2000s were without doubt Kenya darkest economic moments...

So when I see Nigerians and the worse GHANA - lecturing Kenya about debt, china, and such nonsense - I just shake my head in disbelief.

They banned me and deleted my explanation of why Kenya is special. I was watching Congo documentary. The Belgian basically left them without any skills in modern economy.

Kenya has to be forever thankful for the Tom Mboya and John F Kennedy airlift of 800 students to the best universities in US and Canada in 1959-1960s just before independence.

Mboya being very brilliant had seen it coming -and asked the Americans to prepare African to take over. Mboya was great man - and knew we were not ready for independence - we had no skills to run a modern economy -so he asked the likes of John F Kennedy and Martin Luther to plead to IVY league to grant unwashed Africans scholarship and admission.

And we send our best brains to the best universities.

And we ended with arguably Africa best public policy wonks. Obama crowned that airlift - and so did Prof Wangari Mathai winning a Nobel Laurate. Even likes of Lupita Nyongo winning an oscar is thanks to Prof Nyongo being part of the airlift and joining the famous Chicago school of Economics (with more Economic nobels than anyone).

Mboya and Kibaki - with the new ivy league intellectuals shaped kenya civil service post the Brits exit. When other countries could not last a month or two in turmoil like COVID-19 and soon the army couldn't be paid - and they overthrew civilian gov - Kenya has stood tall.

They have received a few small debt forgiveness here and there. That's what they are worth, my brother.
If you ask them to pay let's say: 10bn$ to cancel their remaining debt, do you think they can do that? A $60bn economy is small fry for such negotiations.

That guy doesn't understand how international finance works. I have said that countless times here.

Paris club - is for bilateral loans - meeting of creditors to assist a struggling debtor like Nigeria. Public loans by rich countries taxpayers. They can forgive! They forgave Nigeria 18B dollars. IMF and WB sit as observers -pleading for poverty-stricken country's sake.

London club is private commercial loan.

shut up.... Paris club don't give loans, idiot! It just comprise of officials from various lenders, and their objective is to "negotiate" terms of debt repayemt between lenders and debtors....or debt forgiveness, if it goes that way.

He is a typical Northern Nigerian - from Kaduna or Minna - you can as well play the guitar to a goat than engage in any intellectual conversation with him. Nigeria is cursed because they control their politics, business, and economy.

Nigeria would at least be like Ghana if the Southies had a hand on the country's saddle. The northerners are just primitive who don't care if there is electricity or not - as long as they get to pray to Allah 5 times and visit mecca they are set - and marry 4 wives with 10 kids each. A primitive that hates education is very dangerous.

Imagine Buhari is now the president - the man who says his primary certificate was eaten by a goat! He is basically an illiterate. Before that was an equal walking dead Yardua. At least Obasanjo tried. Then Sani Abacha - just a cannibal. Then Ibrahim Babangida.

Nigeria Boko Haram education hating Muslim North is dragging that country down the gutters.

Open the borders - let see which rice wins. We know the Dangote like game. Block imports - make billions. That is North Nigerian new OIL well in Nigeria.

If you're producing rice - at such levels - why import restrictions and blockade of borders.

Nigerians are subsidizing Dangotes while they suffer... One man with 26B dollars in his account...and 100M extremely poor Nigerians..overtaking Indian..that is the OUTCOME.
