China slowly entrapping African countries.

Why is Africa so naive.

Another country working so hard to make things better for usthemselves, while our own leaders just loot money and keep in a safe in their mansions.

Please anyone who is knowledgeable about this development kindly educate me.

What is the purpose of laying a gas pipeline to kaduna, Kano?

For gas turbines?

Tzben:
1. Why focusing on the north, not a tribalist.. Just a neutral question..
2. What is China's gain in this.. What did we offer to obtain this?

Good project.. But more light need to be shed

1. There's currently no gas pipeline to the north, any initiative to help utilise Nigeria's gas, improve industralisation and reduce gas flaring/wasting is a welcome development.

2. China will reap mega profits from interests; nothing goes for nothing. Remember again that for most of these projects, the cash loaned cash isnt given, rather the agreement is that a Chinese company takes the contract to execute the project. It also ensures them easy access to exploit Africa's resources, just like the western world had done in time past. In conclusion, China gains massively and we also gain (because we cant fund ourselves). But if our leaders are smart enough to payback quickly, we can avoid being enslaved; but you know how African leaders are.

There is a national pipe-line architecture. There is no "focus on the north" with Gas pipeline. The architecture is designed in such a way that covers national need in terms of power, industries and petro-chem business. It also extends to Gas sales to neighboring countries.

anjilgreat:


You nailed it there. This project is more of a win-win situation for China but same cannot be said for Nigerian.

They will exploit our natural resources, use skilled labourers from China and use unskilled labourers from Nigeria, who they will maltreat and our labour law cannot defend.

The project is actually a welcomed development but out leaders have to be smart in such bilateral ties/agreement to avoid becoming economic slaves to China.

Thanks for your detailed answer.. I greatly appreciate it. I now understand the notion well..

I hope there are no negative terms attached if not it's welcomed.

Quick question: would this pipeline cover industrial centres in Onitsha, Nnewi, Enugu and Aba? If not, is there anyone already existing that serves these centres that maybe i'm not aware of?

obailala:
You're very right about this, the only reason these deals usually end up being detrimental to Africa is cos we have lousy leaders. Besides even negotiating a good deal at the start, its very possible to still payback these loans in record time and avoid undue interest payments because these are capital projects that should actually generate great income. But once again, the lousiness of leaders who prefer political welfarism, would turn these projects to liabilities instead of income creating assets.

overall90:
I see.

I hope when they start bursting the pipes,you will not turn to environmental minister.

oasis10:
Nigeria is all about sentiment, if you are the president or any seat of power, grab as much as possible for your people, the country is really divided whether you like it or not, Why can't this project be in Niger Delta where the oil come from, This is really teaching us lesson,Nigeria is never one and can never be don't be deceived. Develop your region when you are in power, if you know you know.

President Buhari is in China with a large delegation of ministers, governors and heads of parastatals to attend the Forum Of China-Africa Cooperation #FOCAC2018. While the president attends the main summit, the ministers and governors have been negotiating deals and agreements on behalf of their states and ministries on the sidelines of the summit.
