Why not? When did adf become an authoritatitive media on African affairs?



I am not doing any "China is my friend, the West is my enemy" sort of thing. All I want is a prosperous Africa. The big power that invests towards such is who I align with.

How on earth did China become the cause of Americans' relationship with E-smoke? American youth, especially those who have non-East Asian ancestry have a cultural problem.

RodgersAkpafu:

Only Africans can develop Africa

The West has PLUNDERED Africa more than anywhere else. The claim that China is plundering Africa is mendacious, considering it is being forced to share technical know-how and invest in the country. Chinese investors have invested in factories across the continent, especially when compelled by law. Up there, another Nairalander posted how Zims learnt from the Chinese, where there is a factory to process their mines. Something the British nor Americans never did.

I have read about Galamsey and Ghanaian traditional chiefs and politicians were fingered (using our journalist's lingo). The same happens in Nigeria. So, the Chinese are not working independently. However, where there is no corrupt mentality among the host's politicians, Chinese investors open factories; this has happened in Ogun, Ebonyi and Nasarawa states. Don't our people deserve good jobs again? 500K is very good to an entry-level graduate in Lafia.

A full 95% of the global supply of that powerful synthetic opiate called Fentanyl that kills thousands of Americans every year, is produced in China. They Chinese have devised devious ways of smuggling Fentanyl into the USA so that the mass extermination of Americans can continue uninterrupted. Fentanyl, 50 times more potent than heroin, is killing off an entire generation of Americans, while Chinese drug smugglers cackle with glee over the blood money they amass while selling cheap overdose deaths to the American public.

The destruction to rives, forests and farm crops wrought by mostly illegal Chinese miners in Ghana, Gambia, and Senegal, among many African nations, stands as sobering testimony to the amoral and nihilistic character of Chinese nationals who ruin our planet's environment with industrial-scale deforestation and rampant air, soil and water pollution.

By offering loans for ultimately wasteful white elephant projects WORLDWIDE, China seeks to leverage unpaid loans into a systematic process of land grabs on every continent comprising our fragile planet. Once those forcibly and dubiously annexed lands are the property of China, there is no further impediment to their plunder of all mineral and natural resources by China, leaving ravaged wasteland in its wake.

The Chinese have INVESTED in Africa more than the West have done. China is Africa's biggest trade partner. Chinese are building factories in Nasarawa, where graduates earn 500K per month. Chinese have built trains to transport containers from the north central to Lagos ports (first of its kind). Chinese are building factories in Kastina state. Chinese are building factories in Ogun state. Chinese are in Abia and Ebonyi building factories.

As it is, it is easier to get a visa to visit China than to visit the US. This is just Nigeria alone.

You people are ungrateful!

These people don’t know what they’re doing Aswear….. I’ll take the Chinese over the west any day anytime.

Afrobasic:
China just wants to trade in peace.

Gerrard59:
Just when the Chinese announced investment worth $350m into Angola's agricultural industry?

Few days ago, the same "protests" in Indonesia where Chinese investors have ploughed over $5BN into factories and mines.

Why are some people unhappy with Chinese investments across the global south?

TheGift:
Do your own research. Chinese don't care about your country. They are taking over many African and other countries, strategically, quietly and steadily.

They have bought up almost 30 % of the estate I live in ,in less than 10 years.

They pull down Massive duplexes that have been there for decades and build block of flats that are almost touching each other.

You're now more likely to see Chinese,then Indians strolling on.sunday evenings or walking weekday mornings, than Nigerians. They have driven up the price of properties. Its scary.

Gerrard59:
To be fair though, Zimbabwe has a superior education system compared to Angola. But then, kudos to the Zims. This is what I have been preaching about: negotiate man to man with the Chinese and they would adjust, just without bombing the country.


So, an Angolan fault, not the Chinese. Got it. But $8BN on a hospital? I've never heard that a hospital costs so much.

GUNITGuy:
You must be kidding anything Asian can't be compared to the West in terms Workers rights especially with Legalized Jobs

indigenous234:
You’re right about legalised jobs and the west, compared with the Asians but overall, in terms of developmental partnerships, I’d say the Chinese especially are better. History attests to that.

Lithiumite:
So they should kill the Chinese abi? Do you know what danger that will cause for the country......your govt is running your country irresponsibly,you are then blaming the Chinese for your woes.....is a Chinese man the president or in govt?

Gerard! Hmmmm see you are throwing trash.
Neither china nor the west wants your progress. So stop spending so much energy defending the Chinese, its making you look worst than you look

emmaodet:
Maybe now.
There was a time Nigeria and Angola were shuffling the number 1 spot between themselves depending on the vandalization in Nigeria

Gerrard59:
When you open a factory in a far-flung area and pay graduates 500K per month, I would take your rants seriously.

yen yen yen, they don't want our progress, who has stopped you from progressing on your own?!

Gerrard59:
During Yar'Adua's and Jonathan's administration. I think even to Buhari's tenure, Angola went above us in oil production.

Looking at your post about their airport, for an oil-rich country, that was very poor. This means some states (aside Lagos and Abuja) are better off than some African countries' capitals. No wonder some of our people would go there and blow quickly because of the poor exposure those people have. The koko is to go there, do your stuff quietly and make an insane amount of money. Get back home and do Money na Water in Owerri.

Gerrard59:
Nothing wrong with this. It is a capitalist world. Did the Chinese stop/prevent you from doing the same? Who sold off these properties to the Chinese if not people like you? Has anyone said you should not buy properties just as the Chinese do? The solution is for the Lagos state government to invest in public housing. The Chinese aren't solely responsible for the property and rent increment in Lagos when it's Nigeria's smallest state with the biggest economy and is the most populous.

If you want FDI, be ready to have those foreigners buy properties in your community. Otherwise, be like North Korea. You people are no different from the so-called racists who bemoan the presence of Blacks and Indians in the UK and the US.

Dreamhans1:
If opening a factory in a far flung area and paying graduates #500k is your standard, then I shouldn't be arguing with you.

emmaodet:
Yes, there are alot of igbos here trading spare parts and used clothes in bales and many yorubas in the corporate sector mostly oil and gas.

The issue i have with some of them is that they dislike seeing other blacks being their boss. They rather prefer a white to control them than maybe we nigerians or south africans. They see us as the same level and wonder why we will get more paid than them doing jobs they feel other angolanas can do.

Generally, sub-sahara africa is poor including Nigeria and excluding south africa but what differentiates the average Nigerian from others is the Mentality and Flare for success.
We know we are poor ... Fine, we know something is wrong and we need to put in the efforts to change our status.
This factors are what differentiate average Nigerians from other black africans from my little tour of africa.
Many of these african countries youths are docile, not highly motivated or fired-up/ contented with their status e.t.c
All you see mostly in the evening are youths/boys/men plaiting hairs/dreadlocks, piercing ears/using ear rings, sagging / clubbing/partying/flirting with ladies around.
They are not highly motivated or challenged for success.
A little money/success and he baffs up and chasing skirts all around.

Just see Pictures of Luanda their capital taken 10 mins ago
