China has finally bought Zimbabwe. Nigeria is next.

China has already flooded Nigeria with inferior products and is busy building infastructure in Nigeria on credit.

Nigeria presently owes China a whopping 6.2 Billion US dollars, (thanks to northern thieves) and the debt keeps increasing.

oga how??

Why are countries using US Dollars as legal tender? Is there any supreme justification to that? It is the rule they created by themselves when they were the highest oil buyers. Now Chinese has taken over that mantle.

Chinese produce half of what Zimbabwe buys and uses. Same with most African countries.

You produce oil and they determine the price and trading currency, how do you think your oil will sustain you when they occasionally threaten to stop buying at the price you want? What exactly do you think caused the Libyan invasion? What did Ghadafi do?


I have said it that Africa should swallow their black useless pride and look up to Asia.
Europe and United States developed long ago and while sitting up there, they make rules that suppress emerging countries. They have reached their economic limit and the only way to maintain it and remain up there is to make economic rules that crush emerging countries.
They manufacture things and shop them to you. You manufacture yours, they call it substandard and stop you from discussing it at all at the World Trade Organisation. How many Africans are members of WTO? Zero.


Only hardliners such as China, Iran and co are able to wriggle themselves out of the grip of Europe and USA. Africa needs to start doing the same. Stop looking up to America, it's common sense that Dangote or Adenuga will never give you an idea that will make you get richer than them or make you as rich as they are.

When things are not working for you, it's logical that you try something else.

A step in the right direction.

CHINA helps struggling economies from Ethiopia to Nigeria to Zimbabwe. Unlike UK and US, always pursuing selfish policy thrusts..

The Chinese ecomomy is the strongest worldwide fuelled by so much exports and now the biggest worldwide.
many don't know that china has spread set up cool a bank just like the IMF or world bank and a lot of Asian countries have joined. The Chinese are gradually becoming the world super power. Zambia too will soon join Zimbabwe and once those 2 countries are in it is just a matter of time before other African countries join. China will try to turn Zimbabwe into a working and vibrant economy so as to attract other African countries. This will be a huge threat to south Africa because of the cheap goods which china will be making in Zimbabwe

TheGreenDay:
Zimbabwe has announced that it will make the Chinese yuan legal tender after Beijing confirmed it would cancel $40m in debts.

“They (China) said they are cancelling our debts that are maturing this year and we are in the process of finalising the debt instruments and calculating the debts,” minister Patrick Chinamasa said in a statement.

Chinamasa also announced that Zimbabwe will officially make the Chinese yuan legal tender as it seeks to increase trade with Beijing.

Zimbabwe abandoned its own dollar in 2009 after hyperinflation, which had peaked at around 500bn%, rendered it unusable.

It then started using a slew of foreign currencies, including the US dollar and the South African rand.

The yuan was later added to the basket of the foreign currencies, but its use had not been approved yet for public transactions in the market dominated by the greenback.

Hey Mr. Aint dumb as u are. The Democratic government was to come and correct the abnormalities of the past. Not to come and take it to another level. PDP was in power for 16years....i don't give a hoot about military dictators. ...what i care about is after clamoring for a democracy in other to have freedom and financial freedom..,hoping for the best....PDP took looting to another level. So dont quote me and tell me what we all know
