Who told you there are no strings attached to the infrastructure contracts between African nations and China?
You must be really dull to believe China is doing Charities In Africa, all the minings Chinese are carrying out across Africa are in return for what? not to even talk about their loans you have to repay or else the assets developed by them will be confiscated.
When the Europeans first discovered Africa they initiated trading of goods and services and gave some Africans kingdoms what they wanted, those ancient Africans must had also thought the Europeans were generous and meant well for them until they came with their Army and plundered and pillaged Africa.
We are making the same mistakes again with China because we are too dumb to figure out anything on our own, tomorrow when the Chinese take control of Africa economy and your generation can only serve under them you won't blame your stupidity and lack of vision.

Can't you pass your message without being insulting? If you still think of colonialism or slavery in this 21st century, this shows your level of mental capability. This video will tell you everything you need to know about why China is investing heavily in Africa, watch it to upgrade your knowledge.
The summary is China is running out of growth potentials and it is no longer the destination for low-cost manufacturing the way it used to be before. Its middle class populations are increasing, so there is a high wage bill to pay for any manufacturing in the country. Africa on the other hand is one of the least developed areas in the world, for the lowest skills in manufacturing that will attract lowest costs of production, Africa is the best place in the world to invest. Just like China took advantage when the world moved their manufacturing to the country some decades ago, Africa needs to develop its technological capacity using the Chinese presence. The problem is whether Africa can replicate what China did some decades ago by using the technology transfer to kickstart its growth. Don't come back here to blame China or any country in the world for lack of purposeful leadership in Africa who can take advantage of this development.
Many Africans will end up in concentration and labour camps if they become the world sole super power.
Actually Chinese are not as racist to Africans like the Caucasians, look at their investments in Africa, would you call those racisms? If they don't love Africa they won't come here to develop those infrastructures. Though Chinese are more racially homogeneous than the Europeans, give it to their strong cultures. But the truth is Chinese don't shy away in showing their displeasure with African lack of leadership and sense of self orientation, that is a big brother stuff to me, someone that tells you the truth even though it is bitter is better than someone that is cheering you while you trace down the path of destruction. I don't judge people by what they say or any rigmarole they are doing, I judge them by their actions, Chinese actions don't show people who hate Africans, they give cheap loans to African countries which some Western media are trying to tag a colonial takeover, how can someone lend you money to develop yourself with no strings attached and you are supposed to believe that such money is evil?
ForestHill: Don't compare China to America, US are miles ahead; what this Chinese are archiving now is actually what USA have archived in the 60's. US ain't match with any country.
You people are still living in 1940s, wake up this is 2021. China has already surpassed US in some key areas like missiles technology, cyber warfare and intercontinental range of target
The way these people are beating the drum of war, I just hope they don't unlease their terror on less developed countries once they discover that it is a stalemate fighting each other. Because this anger they are using to issue these threats against one another, they will want to deposit it somewhere if they can't find a way to kickstart the war with themselves, I hope it will not be on Africa.
The world civilization is under threat right now, the apocalypse is actually closer than earlier thought.
This FFK needs to be grilled, he has something to hide in this hushpuppi and Abba Kyari trials, by the time Kyari starts to snitch, none of our politicians will be safe

But all these native attires are part of Yoruba's culture but na Hausa and Fulani's dey promote them for us. You will never see a young rich Yoruba guy dressed like this. But I like this Abba Kyari guy for this, he gets all this money but still dey take risk dey pursue dangerous criminals in the bush. Some police officers would have retired or only sent their boys to the crime scene with these stupendous wealths they have acquired.
This mentality of always taking shortcuts to cheat the system is ingrained in every Nigerian. Most people are only complaining about the government because they are not there. Give them the chance to be there and you will see them changing their tunes, festus keyamo and Femi Adesina come to mind
Dagger111: This is a fool mentality. As such, we will continue falling under articles below:
SOCIALISM: You have two cows, and you give one to your neighbor.
COMMUNISM: You have two cows, the government takes both and gives you milk.
FASCISM: You have two cows, the government takes both and sells you milk.
NAZISM: You have two cows, the government takes them and kills you.
CAPITALISM: You have two cows, you sell one and buy a male. You multiply your cows and there is economic growth. You sell them, you retire and you live on your profits.
MODERN CAPITALISM: You have two cows, you sell one and buy a male. You multiply your cows and you buy those of your neighbors. The latter become your shepherds, you pay them in monkey currencies and they die poor.
AMERICAN SOCIETY: You have two cows, you sell one and you have to make the other one to produce milk like 4 cows. By dint of producing beyond her capacity, she dies. You take a consultant to understand this death.
FRENCH SOCIETY: You have two cows, you go on strike because you want a third.
GERMAN SOCIETY: You have two cows, you modify them so that they live 100 years, eat once a month and treat themselves.
CHINESE SOCIETY: You have two cows, you sell milk to your compatriots and you produce plastic milk to export to the rest of the world.
BLACK/ AFRICAN SOCIETY: You have two cows, you eat them all the same day and you dream that donors or the international community give you others. You turn to God and hope for miracle cattle. You fast 40 days and 40 nights without eating or drinking so that the cows will fall from heaven. At the end, you die in extreme poverty.
Werey lady.
What about the Japan, Russia and South Korea's two cows, I want to understand those guys too?
This is a clear expose of each of these countries anyway.
Norwichsailor: Yes ofcourse China is currently fighting India because of Tibet, china is in dispute with Japan because of Taiwan and ofcourse South Korea knows its because of the USA that they still exist up till today. Singapore is a former American colony so yes duh. You have little knowledge of international politics, you think its the igbo vs yoruba we do here?
Those are internal issues among them that they can settle by themselves. If you know the current dynamics in geopolitics, you will understand that USA is an outsider in the Asian-Pacific politics. They know that if anything happens to China, it will affect the rest of the region. I trade forex a lot, whether any bad news comes out of China, it affects all the currencies of the countries in the region, even the Australia dollar is the most affected, so you are telling me the investors don't know what they are doing by trading the news that way. There are a lot of ramifications between two countries sharing land borders together. Taiwan and China are just one country, forget about the Western media rhetorics, Chinese fought their civil war back in 1940s which gave the communist party of China (CPC) the powers to rule over all the Chinese lands, China is only exercising the rights now because of the recent preeminence it is gaining in the world. Even the United Nations convention in 1971 voted to recognize People's Republic of china (the Chinese mainland government) as the legitimate authority to represent China in the UN, that is why Taiwan does not have a representative in the UN because it is not recognized as a nation.
Norwichsailor: Lol The reason people run to China to produce is basically because of two things, cheap manufacturing cost and cheap labour, nothing special, so you find many foreign companies going there to produce and everyone feels China is amazing. Its just like you setting up a company in Ghana but mainly servicing the Nigerian marker because its easy to produce in Ghana than here. One advantage the USA has over its allies is having bases near their enemies while their enemies can't have anything close to their soil and the allies factor, aside China and North Korea every other Pacific power eg Japan,South Korea, Australia, Singapore, etc are American allies with great military capability. Note I'm talking about convention warfare and not nuclear warfare because everybody will die regardless of which side yurr on.
In your mind now you think those Asian neighbours will go to war with China because of United States, a North American country?
We are talking about Chinese engineers who manufacture everything, is like you don't know how these manufacturing companies deliver their products, they source for components elsewhere, for instance, it might be only the mother board of iPhones that is truly Apple made. Most of these technologies in manufacturing are in the hands of Chinese engineers.
Norwichsailor: The Chinese won due to sheer numbers, today sheer numbers aren't guaranteed to give you victory.
Then what is it to guarantee victory today that China doesn't have. You want to go to war with a country that can manufacture millions of military hardwares in a short space of time given their advanced manufacturing capacity. Even the steels that the USA is using to manufacture its military weaponry are produced in China.
You think the USA is a fool for negotiating peace with North Korea after the initial Donald Trump macho man show?
mayklef: last last this Igboho guy na empty barrel....him Selina no dey tested
What do you suggest he does with his so called juju, fight a whole country by himself without an army? Someone was picked up at the airport of a foreign country and you are talking about juju. If such power exists in this world, then no African leaders or criminals should be going to jail
Tell me the difference between today's government and the crimes they are fighting and killing people for. Abba Kyari has been caught up in a bribery scandal, Nnamdi Kanu was extraordinarily extradited to Nigeria, now Sunday igboho is being prepared to be forcefully and unlawfully returned to Nigeria in exchange for economic gains to Benin Republic, the reality is that anything is for sale in today's world. I wonder why they are going after the Cyber criminals like Yahoo Yahoo
SUCKCESSFUL: I just dey pity China Even Putin wey dey try impress Russians know say America no be him papa agemate. You'll never see America doing this kind, anyways them chinks are just showing Dutch courage.
The weaponry America will employ against them is still classified, no be everybody get the info.
Do your research, the whole Europe would've been a German colony if not for the US. France and the Britain are still grateful till today.
Ordinary China wey Japan invade, war is not won by numbers, Hannibal had fewer men but he almost conquered Rome.
Besides the US has Bases, submarines and aircraft carriers in their backyard whilst none of them have any Ally or base near the north American Continent.
You are talking as someone who slept off since 1940 but just woke up in 2021.
All the wars USA won in the past were due to their superior military technology, dropping of atomic bomb (the first of its kind then) on Japanese two cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki effectively ended the WW2 and cemented USA as the preeminent power in the world.
The world has changed since then, even USA was partly defeated in the Vietnam war in 1950s, China was able to stand strong and defend North Korea against all the USA and its Western forces during the Korea war, despite China having far inferior military technology then.
Now you want to compare China of today to China then
These people have forgotten there is a new version of COVID-19 in town called Delta variant that is spreading like wildfire and killing people at a breath taking speed. See how close they are together.
