When reasonable minded Nigerians were critiquing this whole Trump involvement with Nigeria, they said they were Jihadist supporters and so forth. They told you right from the get go, America doesn't do anything out of the goodness of whatever without a hidden agenda. Now, it's getting glaring by the day that all the bruhaha about christian killing as an excuse to get into the country has been nothing but false.. How mining take concern missionary works... And how have they been able to help the Christian community since then actually. Answer is none or if any it has been insignificant.. And their real motive is creeping in.. to further justify their real motive of wanting to control, and take further take advantage, now they have started another narratives instigating that China is the one sponsoring the Bandits and arming them, the same way they were really sure 1 million percent sure Iraq has WMD, the same way they have been able to justify their reign of imperialistic terrors and agendas all over the world.. and their narratives in shoving it down everyone throat that wherever the armed forces land, they are never the bad guys, they have always been the good guys.. Even in the movies..

As I have said before America only has one agenda, to control and can not even be a friend to less beneficial country with a weak and corrupt system.

In all, be in china or USA I do not blame them whatsoever, rather I blame the rotten , foul wreaking over bloated selfish gluttons called the Nigerian leaders. As the adage says, if a wall doesn't crack, there's no way a lizard can crawl in between it.. Really Shame on Nigeria leaders and their elder statesmen.

Nothing concern me with data boys or obi sympathizers, the problem is the Nigeria system as a whole.. Nigeria mother has 3 kids, one is a madman, another a big headed chest beating fool, the other one a good for nothing passive brilliant student who will gladly open the door for robbers to come loot their house because he has no clue what being part of a family is like.

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?
It's a case of the Egyptians and the Red Sea. Existential threat in both ways. Do you guys like pray for your leaders. If you prayed God will send the saviour. A man with zero political need. A man who will not want to be president but will tell the president what to do and how to do it. As long as men are proud and refuse to call upon God. men will fall. A lot of politicians are proud and alot of men are too proud to call on God. To prove it. They will say " which one is God here ?"

They told you the China is paying Fulani militias and you swallowed it hook line and sinker!

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?

Just us me your brain to weigh issues before digesting. If master told something, reason it out before you jump into conclusions.

It was Iran before and now China….
You that uses your brain, what have you found out about the fulani militia and their killings all over the country?
Did you just ask what China is gaining after reading about illegal mining?
All you terrorists sympathizers ever know how to do is discredit everything from the west.
How has Iran helped you over the killings and kidnappings happening everyday? Has Iran even helped themselves?

Afghanistan recently opened their borders for immigrants to work, what are you still waiting for? Or are you still queuing at the American Embassy?
Re: USA Proposes A Bill To Target Illegal Chinese Mining In Nigeria by GIFTEDPLANNERS(m): 8:03am On Feb 13
Anyone against America is against Nigeria. If a few country businessmen buy arms for groups to dislodge local community just to mine what is there and kill them by taking their land by force as trophy is ok by you right. The govt knows this is the real issue not a religious issue. Is any of the company exporting this minerals legally or mining it legally or declaring the actual figure they mine for the legal ones. Our problem is from those of you that sees evil and support it
Re: USA Proposes A Bill To Target Illegal Chinese Mining In Nigeria by Mrexcell(m): 8:05am On Feb 13
Nice one from the US the Chinese are no doubt have become part of nigeria's insecurity problem over the years they only care about the money they are making from nigeria and not the welfare of the nigerian people. May God continue to bless the USA.

Let me just take this as fake news.

What is the business of USA with the Chinese doing mining in Nigeria? Trump better no pass his boundaries. No be everything you go dey do over sabi about

Sovereignty , those who close to him should be reminding him that

Modified: Some people don't get it , what's the moral justification USA have been using to be condemning things they mastered/practiced? USA don't do anything that will never benefit them. Never

Exactly same stunt they pulled in Congo all in the name of Cobalt.
Chinese miners are the ones allegedly causing insecurity in North West Nigeria. they are they One allegedly mining Gold in zamfara and causing insecurity. many people knows this

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.
What do u expect? Nigeria has since lost it's sovereignty when it failed in it's basic responsibility of protecting its people.

so you people don't know that most of the insecurities going on in Nigeria and some other African countries is because of illegal mining, ask your self y is it that those terrorists ain't fighting in countries that has no natural resources,, most of the west African countries would have been very easy to islamized than Nigeria so tell me why they choose Nigeria instead of countries like Togo and others
Re: USA Proposes A Bill To Target Illegal Chinese Mining In Nigeria by Mathewrichard99: 8:13am On Feb 13
You did throw a positive outlook to this very great information. It's all strategic move by the US trying to solidify their presence and interest in Africa and also a clamour for superiority among world powers. Interesting times ahead....

Basicend:
It is just a proposed bill which is subject to further consideration by our legislature.

India, Brazil, Nigeria are seen by global powers as emerging powers of the next decade due to their abundant mineral / human capacity.

America is trying to sustain her hegemony in Africa. And if that will happen, China's grip on the continent must be undermined.

It's a a geo-political chess game.

That is why USA have been trying to carefully negotiate terms on issues with the Nigerian govt instead of force.

Trump has realized that calling Africa shithole was an error. America must strive to sustain it's control of all regions.

Any global power that must control Africa, must find a way to control Nigeria.

And this is exactly why the fulani north is doing everything in preventing the igbos from becoming president cause they thought the igbo man is more inclined to the west.

How come no Chinese or expatriate miners has ever been kidnaped.... its all cleared, USA have more than technologies, they also use remote viewing which is some kind of diabolical means to check things. Everything they said is 100% true

Jughead29:
But truth be told, what are the Chinese doing in Nigeria especially mining sites?

Despite the insecurity in those areas, they'll never be attacked.... Make it make sense
The intent of the Chinese firms giving funds to the fulanis is for the protection of their staff and business facilities.

Cheveron / Exxon / Shell does similar thing in the Niger delta. Every business in a foreign land must often pay due homage (forceful pizzo-money).

Yes, it indirectly strengthened the financial power of the terrorist, but that was not their initial aim.

Do you think if America successfully get the Nigerian govt to chase out China, America will not bounce on those vacant lithium, rare-earth or solid mineral sites?

Are you in support of illegal mining in Nigeria? Since your useless government refused to do the right thing anybody can do it for them I don't care.
What the useless government are after is just OIL 🛢️ 🛢️ 🛢️ OIL 🛢️, where as God has blessed us with many natural resources which the chinkos and many useless government officers are benefiting from to the detriment of the citizens.

As far as it's not benefiting the ordinary Nigerian, biko US collect if you like take some percentage after the fight but also fight the useless government to invest the rest into Nigeria health sector.

I even have some first hand knowledge and experience in Ebonyi and plateau state of how these Chinese have been exploiting us due to the inefficiency of the Nigerian system.
It is even our security operative that guards them ,you can't even come close.
I'm talking about over 12 years ago and it could have been going on much longer than that.
Re: USA Proposes A Bill To Target Illegal Chinese Mining In Nigeria by Edi4real87: 9:26am On Feb 13
What's the naration? Data bot or Man?
What's the root of the bill "insecurity"
Who is fueling insecurity in Nigeria, the useless government and security operatives are claiming ignorance. So, what do you expect?
Do you think America is like Nigeria that rides on tribalism and religion?

Are you aware of the level of illegal activities those chiko guys carries out in those northern areas? And the funny part they have police protecting them.

That's how one Chinko came to my area to advertise his casino business na so police dey run follow am as of na president. Can you do that nonsense in their country?

Guy keep your emotions, tribalism or religion aside. Nigeria government has failed Nigerians anything to checkmate anything in this country is a welcome development.

America was just confirming what any critical thinking and observant Nigerian already knew! Why do you think insecurity skyrocketed in Zamfara state? Because of religion? No! It was because of the mining pits in the region. Same with Kwara state. They’ve been mining gold in zamfara for a long time now illegally. Mining autonomy is the cause of the recent waves of terrorism in Nigeria. It is not grazing or religious agendas. It is the minerals beneath the earth.

Re: USA Proposes A Bill To Target Illegal Chinese Mining In Nigeria by jospepper(m): 9:35am On Feb 13
Most of the mining is done illegally by the Chinese in connivance with security officials. To cover up, the Fulani bandits or any terrorists of their choice would enter the community and cause serious confusion, locals will evacuate ,an area which can be as large as a council ward would normally be deserted and become a no go area for the locals. The miners will step in and do their business for long without hindrance, while the Fulani would also be in such places grazing. This method has been replicated in many places that have mineral deposits in the North.

Nobody should be surprised, when your secret is known by someone else's, he will control you like mumu. If you get stubborn, he will expose it to the world and still hunt you with it.

This is the why other forward-looking countries of the world put structures to screen out persons with uncertain histories from their leadership.
