摘　　要：The principles of restitution and reparation are proven international best practices in the globe; however, like every other legal principles, it has its imperfections and must be meticulously applied with prudence taking all factors into consideration; otherwise, they become counter-effective. This research paper seeks to expound the application of restitution and reparation to cases of funds which were carted away in different regimes by the corrupt Nigerians government officials. This research examines some cases of grand corruption in Nigeria which were enhanced by some foreign elements. Consequently, this paper analyses and argues that restitution and reparation as best international practices which would have enhanced Nigeria recover her stolen funds are being impeded by various policies put in place by some countries where the stolen funds are lying. That being the case, it becomes apposite to state that if these principles would get Nigeria anywhere, something has to be done with respect to the international impediments highlighted in this paper.
