“…Nigerians have the second-most favorable view of China after Russians (Brautigam, 2020;Fairchild, 2020). Nigeria is instead of viewing China's rising economy as a positive for their country than negatively (Omotoso et al, 2020;Pay & Nwosu, 2020;Yusuff et al, 2020). That 55% think a robust Chinese economy is advantageous, while 30% believe it is a problem for the nation (Banwo, 2020;Kolodko, 2020;Toye, 2021).…”

Perceptions play a critical role in international affairs. Politicians must be able to consider and forecast both challenges and opportunities. Public opinion has the power to change the course of politics. As the world becomes more interconnected, it's critical to comprehend how China is perceived and how this affects China's global effect. Although it only makes up a small part of overall Chinese OFDI, this investment class has recently drawn interest because of its sectoral and geographic diversification. Nigeria has been one of China's top 40 trading partners for more than five decades. For some time, it has been the leading African investment destination for Chinese investment in the continent. The pursuit of multilateral agreements has a significant effect on how countries engage in the political and economic realm. This study used both quantitative and qualitative methods. The study adopted simple random sampling techniques to allow for equal and unbiased respondents' participation in the primary data collection. The response scale was base on a 1 -5 points Likert scale. Secondary data was sourced from archival materials, published books or scholarly works, the internet, international organization official documents, journals, press releases, newspapers. The overall research accepts the study's alternative hypothesis, which shows that perhaps the ten outlined perceptions of Nigerians towards Chinese FDIs and its acceptability are heavily influenced by the success of FDI by Chinese investors and businesses in Nigeria's market climate. The importance and positive outcomes of such FDI are heavily reliant on Nigerian perceptions of Chinese FDI and their acceptability and the investment target region.

This article explores the nature and patterns of Chinese-Nigeria trade relations between 1999 and 2019 through the theoretical prism of leadership. The period 1999-2019 captures the rising trends in investments and trade relations between China and Nigeria and the latter’s efforts at liberal democratization. It raises questions about how the nature of the leadership process conditions economic developments and as well shapes the nature of trade and investments between both countries. Although the article is not necessarily comparative, it demonstrates how the contrasting character of the internal leadership process throws up inclusivity, accountability, productivity and development in China, and exclusion, opportunistic behaviour and underdevelopment in Nigeria. The article thus argues that leadership is dialectically connected to the political economy of development and trade in both China and Nigeria. Drawing on historical and statistical data relating to Chinese Foreign Direct Investments, aid/loans to Nigeria and Chinese-Nigeria trade patterns, it explains that economic relations between both countries are characterized by unequal exchanges in favour of the Chinese state. The major contention of the article is that while Nigeria does benefit from Chinese trade, loans and investments in terms of job opportunities and infrastructural developments, such benefits further deepen Nigeria’s underdevelopment and dependence on China as a result of the extractive behaviour of Nigeria’s political leaders. Nevertheless, a better developmental outcome is possible in Nigeria through transformational leadership that leads to profound changes in policies, institutions and values of accountability.
