  ABSTRACT: This study conducted an analysis of India and Nigeria’s foreign policy pursuits. Foreign policy choices have significant benefits or consequences for countries. The future of a nation can be affected by the foreign policy decisions of leaders. The objective of this paper is to ascertain which country made it or broke it through an in-depth analysis of Nigeria and India’s foreign policy. The qualitative method of research was used to carry out the descriptive discourse of this study. A thorough analysis revealed that India builds its regional and global status through a stealth economic diplomacy. This has moved India from being classified as a less developed nation to an emerging economy. In Nigeria’s case, its Afrocentric foreign policy principle lacks diplomatic strategy. Hence the misinterpretation of national interest has resulted in its economic doom. The study recommends that countries should build their economy first, in order to successfully pursue their desired power status.
