What are you selling to China they can't make themselves at a cheaper price?

the only thing they want from you they come to mine or just steal it

They come to buy from you what they can't make themselves, about $2.5b worth at that, and now they've removed the barrier, we'd likely sell them more.

Mining creates jobs, as does them stealing from you, since you'd need to hire more Nigerians to police them.

Putindbutt:
Still won't stop those greedy people from increasing their prices. Govt have granted waivers on certain import commodities yet it doesn't reflect in consumer price until Govt had to directly intervene in importing certain food items that crashed food prices.

Guy na wah for you..
Anyway it is said one must be a blockhead to support a certain party.

bigpicture001:
U seem not to understand why china is doing this?

If they increase you complain, if they reduce you still complain, OK which one should they do that will give an acceptable motive in your view?

You have enough bandits and kidnappers to create even more security jobs. You don't need Chinese thieves for that

In exchange for what because even in Freetown, things are not free

The opposition on this forum should stop this annoying behavior. You have been engaging with me for years, you should understand our opinions about issues are words and opposite, why not respect it.

I stopped engaging with the regular opposition supporters on this forum because;

1. I have no choice than to respect their opinion so no need of back and forth arguments

2. Not bragging, not disrespecting, I have defeated all the opposition supporters on this forum who have ever engaged with me before on any issue or supporting. I can boldly dare all of you patata to come out and tell me any single major argument you ever won over me.

Let me explore with new set of people with potential and learn more not the defeated obsolete people. Any old opposition supporters monikers that attack my opinion in any form from henceforth would be blocked without any warning. You don't need to be seeing the comments that you will eventually attack.

Imagine someone I have been blocking steadily for months, the blocking expired just today and the next thing is as usual trolling. There is limit to what one can tolerate

you no be God oga.


Nsiraland paid nobody.

One day you will find yourself too as an opposition.

Dey play.

There is no lane in Nairaland, and it would be remiss of me to read between your lines and read your mind. But if my responses to you, which I intend to ramp up, bother you, do please block me, because I'm very certain your blocking will remove food from my table and I'll starve until you unblock me!

but is this guy (perhaps he's an old man) one of the moderators?

All these na long time ago. We've been liberated long enough. Yet look where we are.

There's a time a young man will blame his father for being poor but at a certain age if the young man say the same thing, people will look at him like a fōol.

African is a grown up now but still playing in the mud and blaming colonialism still.

Just as colonialism took away, they also brought a lot to us, democracy, money, processed goods, education, machinery, banks, roads and so on.

Africa should forge ahead but sadly we've not been able to. See China and Japan have almost been burnt to the ground in the past, same as Germany.

Even American was once under British rule but today they've been able to forge ahead.

They do this without blaming anyone but putting their people first and actually wanting to create a future and hope for their children and those after them.

But in Africa, all we are after is the immediate. No clear plans or anything.

Please the west or colonialism is not our problem, most of us here today never saw a single Whiteman ruling in Africa.

At least the Chinese are still fair compared to the West.

Did you know China never colonized any Africa countries. The west came ,colonized and explored us and give us religion in exchange.

Russia was part of those who started space race, meaning electronics products mean nothing to them but the West brainwashed African to the extent I have never seen any Russia electronic products before

If una stop to dey engage with him post, you go see say him go die slowly.

They post to provoke a reaction from you and giving such reaction fuels them to post more to provoke you to fuel them more.

If no one answers you when you're talking, you go quiet naturally. As una dey engage am, him dey feel important as though he's influencing people.

Stop engaging. Starve them of your attention

The Chinese did not colonize any African Country because they didn't have the capacity to do so then, but now if giving the opportunity the will do it, that's if they've not started laying the ground work for that.
Secondly, Africa can only grow when we put our greed outside and take accountability for our actions, we should stop blaming external factors all the time, the Chinese used to be slaves to the Japanese but that's not the case today.
Our greed and inability to think long term as Africans is our greatest problem.

Colonize ke! China herself became independent in 1949 nah. Your country's backwardness is what makes nations that should ordinarily be your mate look like your master.

Africa leader's must be wise
This is a bait.
China is bent in capturing Africa at all cost.
They are very sad right now that America military is on ground in Nigeria.
Nothing good comes from China.
Don't be f©©l, China is worst than your colonial masters Britain.

Slippy:
Lol China enjoys substantial trade surplus with nearly all African countries.

they can afford to waive tariffs and still have a trade surplus

China takes Africa's natural resources at below market prices through bribery and outright theft.

This is just PR for their low IQ anti-western supporters

If China is running a trade surplus with African countries, the common-sense approach is for African nations, like Nigeria, to boost their exports to China. Think for yourself, African man! It is easy. Why do you think countries like Canada, UK, Germany, France, etc., keep going to China? It's an enormous market.

china has completely takken over , while trump is slapping and increasing tarrifs , China is either reducing or scrapping theirs. tis will increase trade and imports between china and the african continent, it will reduce the cost of African raw materials that chinese companies buy from africans thereby lowering production cost and selling price .
THE CHINESE ARE DOING THIS FOR THEIR COMPANIES, THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS HARDLY ANY FINISHED PRODUCT THAT CAN COMPETE OR EBITER CHINA FROM ARICA

How can China colonize other African countries when they were themselves colonized by great Japan?

The table is actually turning around when it comes to colonization.

Hardly you will see any European National teams or Football clubs without seeing blacks, same as their institution. Madam NOI at IMF is an indirect colonization

helinues:
African leaders are mortgaging our future to the Chinese with what they thought are free

China is not having any major natural resources but they are rich in abundance in almost all with their operation in Africa

China has more natural resources than all West African countries combined, so your statement that China does not have any major natural resources is false. That country is the largest producer of rare earth minerals and lithium in the world. They also have Crude Oil and Gas, but like the US, they still buy from other countries due to to their large oil consumption.

Russia was part of those who started space race, meaning electronics products mean nothing to them but the West brainwashed African to the extent I have never seen any Russia electronic products before

There is nothing like fair here. China could never have colonised African countries because China was much poorer than some African countries during the colonisation era. A country that couldn't defeat Japan that was many times smaller than them could not have colonised Africa even if they wanted to. Russia starting the space race doesn't mean anything. It wouldn't have been a race to start with if Russia was the only country exploring space, so I think you should give the West some credit for competing with Russia in Space Exploration which has led to lists of discoveries and innovation in that field. Remember, despite Russia starting the space race, the US built the world's largest Rocket, the Sputnik V, which landed man on the Moon. Also note that the West did not brain wash Africans to use only Western electronics, that is a very lazy arguement to be honest. The industrial revolution started in the West, the West produced more STEM graduates and conducted more research than any part of the world for about a hundred years. It is natural for them to dominate in most industrial sectors. When the West couldn't keep up with the rising cost of manufacturing in their countries, they outsourced the manufacturing to companies in China, Vietnam and India. What is stopping Russia from doing same? Or did the West also brainwash China not to assist Russia with mass production of Russian products?

China builds, America destroys

Was thinking same thing oo, we export basically raw materials to them, there is no line of manufacture that they are not into, so what's the benefit of this to Nigeria or Africa

budaatum:
In exchange for what you export tariff free to China, for starts. It's after all going to increase the market you sell to.

But perhaps you have something else in mind, so please share.

Not necessarily. This only makes it easier and cheaper for Chinese companies to obtain raw materials from Africa. Hope you know that raw materials make up the bulk of African exports to China?
This is a brilliant Chinese move but it makes little or no difference for the African countries.

So, Russia or even the USSR always had allies in Africa. The reason why we don't see Russian electronics is because they were not good enough to compete in the free market.
Africa imports wheat and oil from Russia. I
It was never about brainwashing, it was all about the free market.
Even Russians depends on electronics and chips from other countries.

Putindbutt:
Are you also aware that zero tariffs on exported goods reduces costs of production?.

Must you comment on every issue? Is it not obvious thatbthis topic is way above your "laptop boys" pay grade!? Have you ever been into imports or exports in Nigeria before?

I have been in that business since 2004 and I can tell you right now that I feel like nodding you with all these balderdash you are spewing here..

Free tarrifs! Where

Those who can build space rocket as far back as 60's shouldn't have issue producing quality electronics products.

The exporting was discouraged mostly in Africa countries. We all saw what happened when the Russia Ukraine war started with the sanctioning, it was brutal in the past

China NEVER believes in free lunch which is apt. Everyone should work for his wages.

In exchange for more business generally. Imagine a free trade agreement between Naija and China, both export and import business will get a serious boost.

How is this a "bait" for heavens sake!?
They removed tariffs on your exports! That's what they did. Obviously, this means that you can export any sort of goods that are needed in China for free! That is from their own part, once they goods meet all the established import qualities over there. What else do you want them to do for you To keep "dashing" cash to you since you are now well renowned as an almajiri kwantiri!??

Good gracious me!

How is this a bait really. If you like, you export , if you don't like, do not export. But the facts still remains that no country exists without earnings and earnings are made through exports. China is helping your sorry aszes to exist .. Of course, there must be some economic and diplomatic gains for China in the long run. That's fair because no country is a father Christmas. But to say that this policy is a "trap"? Oga, Please explain!

I think that the CNN and the BBC have utterly brainwashed my people that they now parrot the belief that the surest route to heavens goes through London, Paris and Washington! To think that characters associated with the ruling party are the one championing thus warped narrative is bewildering, because in the final analyses, you borrow endlessly from the same China without worrying of being "trapped"!

Very pathetic if you ask me..

US-China tariff war is ongoing.China is attracting Africa while US is scaring African nations with arbitrary tariffs.

Block someone because he is not aligned to your opinion

Wao,so blocking him will starve him to death or buy food products and other commodities high than you are buying it.
Grow up young man.
