The pei'vasive nature of globalization and the corresponding socio-economic impact of
multinational corporations on the Nigerian Economy is germane to this paper.
Unarguably, however, while it is a possibility that multinalism and globalism engender
trade linkages, enhance information transfer and improve technology, etc; it is also
important to stress that the same entrenches inequality, exploitation and eventually
implant poverty in their host countries. The study submits that multinalism has changed the
people's consumption pattern from African food to those of the imperialists. The paper
concludes with policy statements by way of recommendations in order to leapfrog
Nigeria's developmental agenda devoid of foreign incursion in the socio-economic and
political scheme of things.
