What Would Happen To Nigeria If The US Imposed Trade Sanctions On Us? by socialmediaman: 4:04pm On Jun 07, 2021
I noticed that our news don't really make headlines in developed countries so it seems nobody really cares about us that much. So if the Big 4 (US, UK Canada, EU) decide to impose trade sanctions on us over allegations of unchecked human rights abuses, and we can't trade oil and goods for a while, what will happen to us?

It'd probably be a blessing in disguise. We will stop importing their garbage and rely on our own resources. Only problem is CHINA - they will fill the vacuum with their 10th rate merchandise!

Alleged human rights abuses against the Geneva convention may be the official reason, but social media war and alliance with China may be the unofficial reason

Nigeria is too small for trade sanctions. They just relax some policies for china on condition that they will leave Nigeria .

China will stop lending to Nigeria. China will abandon Nigeria in a second to protect their US trade.

The US can move their embassy out of Nigeria to Ghana. Nigerians will now have to go to Ghana to Apply. Nigerians will match to Aso Rock and beat buhari.

Spot on. Even the UK abandoned its 5G deal with China because of their relationship with the US

Mugabe thought he was wise. Zimbabwe is crying now
Idi Amin thought he was wise. Uganda is struggling now.
Any nation that wants to deal with western nations must be self-reliant. Russia, China and North Korea are flexing muscles them because they have technologies of their own.

Many e.g HP, Internet, Microsoft, iPhones etc. Not only US, her allies will also punish us. Ask Abacha.
Nnpc is not functioning now because most expatriates maintaining the refineries left the country after US sanction during abacha regime.

This shows you are not conversant with US sanctions.
It is not an on or off switch matter and there are hundreds of sanctions that the average person
will not even know exists. And it usually have an endgame.
Did you know that Obama sanctioned Nigeria?
Well, that didn't stop US products from being shipped here.

BTW, there is no ally anywhere that will follow the US lead over some petty issue, if you mean US puppets, those ones are already
useless to the Nigerian economy.

I know it sound strange that blanket sanction decisions aren't made based on whims or revenge
but that is the reality.

Nope.
Nigeria was importing fuel long before Abacha came into power.
The refineries failed for the reason other government run businesses failed.

Social media is not a merchandise, in fact, they beg countries to accept them e.g China.
How does those used products improve the economy?

I will not let any of this country's citizen use US-made software because Twitter was banned will be the most stupid proposal ever
made by an American politician.

Untold suffering that you cannot even imagine.

Even countries with good leaders cannot survive American sanctions, let alone a country like Nigeria with leaders that have the appetite of locusts and the brain of a goldfish.

Nigeria has been accused severally of human rights violations, it's about to get into a social media/Internet war and possibly partner with China. Don't you think Big brother is watching? Remind me again why the UK abandoned its 5G deal with China, if other countries will not join the US on sanctions.

US sanctions Nigeria, UK follows. China wont sacrifice US and UK trade for Nigeria. So automatically, china follows.

No healthcare for buhari. The rest is history.
