Is Sovereignty mean nothing to you. Throw your emotions aside

What sovereignty are you talking about in the face of existential threat?
Are you saying we should ignore that all in the name of sovereignty?
How and who is even threatening your sovereignty as an individual or as a nation when your government has a pact with them on security?

You see China stealing your resources and most likely fueling insecurity but you don't seem bothered at all about that.
You are more concerned on your usual campaign of hate against America.

Show me where proof that China is stealing resources?

Same one that handles our construction and currently our biggest trade partner?

Just keep shut if you don’t have proof. I am not discussing beer parlor points analysis with you.

Quite a necessary measure considering that we cannot properly govern ourselves in Nigeria.

There is nothing wrong with that. If you refuse to regulate yourself, you have invited a higher power to regulate you.

The next bill that should be proposed by the US is
'The Nigeria bill of promotion of credible elections and real-time voting".

Then we should also have;

'The Nigeria bill of indigenous natives and their rights to sovereign nationhood"

We are getting there.

Trump, oko iya Tinubu.

God bless Trump.. God bless America.

We need to get something straight.

The United States in North America, is proposing a bill to target Chinese mining in Nigeria, Africa.

Someone should please make it make sense. This is a combo of imperialism and colonialism.

Meaning of our economy decides to shift from the USD to booster our trade, we will be annihilated.

Slavery never stopped, the dynamics was what changed.

I think the Nigerian government need to deliberate if it’s still worth it to celebrate Independence Day.

Usual nosie making craps.
Did you not read the part that says the fulani militia is being paid by the Chinese illegal miners for protection?
Are you comfortable with the daily killings and kidnappings happing in Nigeria?

This is why I love America, they are very detailed and intentional with whatever they do. These guys have been gathering intelligence on Nigeria's insecurity and the root causes.

You see this illegal Chinese mining, it is one of the root cause of insecurity in Northwest and Middlebelt.

America know what they are doing.

If Nigeria want to partner with Chinese in solid mineral mining, let them make it official and partner with Chinese government and than ban illegal mining by any individual or group of persons just as it is with crude oil mining and even rifinning, simple.

Use your brain for the first time this year. Does it make sense to you? What is China’s gain and have they ever been known for such?

What’s their aim or goal to do such as the biggest trade partner of Nigeria?

I believe banditry in the North is inextricably linked to illegal mining. The the foreign miners provide weapons for protection and dislogement of locals so as their operations could be unhindered. Its not only the chinese ppl but lebanese and others you cant identify. They uses aircraft to supply weapons and carry the gold and other valueable stones back to their country. This is what what i heard my ppl saying.

That is exactly what is happening. The militias is only using the opportunity of the artillery they have to push their Islam agenda but it's the illegal miner that is sponsoring them. Once they want to mine a place they send locals away through attacks then the Chinese or Lebanese come in and do their thing.

Gerrard59:
The claim that the Chinese are funding Boko Haram is entirely false. It is wildly false and ridiculous! How come the Chinese did not fund the same in Guinea Conakry, Zimbabwe or the numerous countries it has mining operations?

America just finds it hard to compete on a level playing field because in the hinterlands across the north, it is Chinese businessmen who are willing to enter those places to purchase mines. Should they be driven out, many of those mines would become idle, as no one else would buy the mines from the artisanal miners. The same thing happens in Namibia. Again, no one, nor the Chinese, is stopping the Yanks from setting up mining operations anywhere in Northern Nigeria. Simply meet the traditional rulers, become registered, hire translators, hold your money, and you will get what you want.

How hard is this to comprehend?

In fact, my distrust towards the Americans started when I read an official from the embassy berating Chinese investments in the mining industry, whereas only the Chinese were setting up operations, factories and employing the locals. If it is not witchcraft, why would you be against investments which result in job creation in a region with a high unemployment rate? Accusing the Chinese of funding Fulani militias is a laughable and horrible lie.

The biggest refining projects aimed at refining the ores and mines are spearheaded by the Chinese. The only Western-run refining operation in the country is the gold refinery in Osun. The rest are Chinese-funded.

Did the Chinese stop others from entering the sector? No.

It's okay to play politics with everything, but when the consequences come, you must bear the brunt.

Tinubu has been playing politics with insecurity in Nigeria. Now, the US has its eyes on Nigeria - the consequences will be weighty. When it rains, it pours.

Never a fan of any of these Government but the illegal mining in the North didn't start in 2023. It goes way back and the funny thing is that previous Regimes know what lay beneath the soil in the North yet they did absolutely nothing.

Well it's true that these Chinese men are paying hikitia for protection. They are currently in Nasarawa LGA of Nasarawa State. The governor kept quiet because they've paying him hundreds of millions through the former commissioner of environment. It became so juicy that the governor now handled the ministry of environment funds himself .... 😂

America operate the best intelligence gathering agency in the world, tested and proven correct always. When they told the world that Russia will invade Ukraine the day Russia did at so so hour, it happened.

You see America and Israel, they are the best when it comes to intelligence gathering, nobody else comes close.

I have a friend working with an oil servicing firm laying pipeline around the Middlebelt, he once told me this sometime in 2024. It's an open secret, it is those Chinese illegal miners that are paying most of the Fulani militia to guard them and prevent the local communities and government officials from coming close to their mining sites. To achieve this, they create security crises in those communities so that people will stay away while they continue with their illegal mining and export.

You don't even need to doubt that intelligence report at all
