If the Chinese are cunning they're in no way near America's cunning.

Far better than state-controlled repressed media. Liberal media will expose the conservatives and vice versa.

All for good reason, and personally I see nothing wrong with the control they place on their media, which doesn't stop them from airing their views except if it threatens the party.
China's leadership has been doing well for their people, I see little or no reason for them to criticise their government.
media control you hear about is used to filter western ideals, which are known for destabilizing sovereign nations.
Better they control their media than for it to undo all their hardwork.

You made a good point 'maybe' in the rest of your post but this part I have quoted is outright opinionated lies.

The US press is one of the free'est in the world. Hence the reason Trump dislikes the CNN because they don't like to mice words, pictures and videos when they give the news.

If you say that about China and Russia then you will be 1001% right.


What you see is an illusion.
The US billionaires which are like less than 10% control 90% of the media in US, so all we get from their media are tailored narrative to serve both sides of the political party divides which represents these billionaires.

Ahhn ahnnn

Nigeria we nor dey try at all

Small thing we don run go call BBC, CNN, Al-Jazeera

To sell bad stories of our country and you expect the world to respect us?

Incase you don't know, USA vets most news coming out of USA to the rest of the world especially anything that will affect their Military reputation

That is why Julian assange of wiki leaks and Edward Snowden of NSA scandals happened, they revealed News USA is hiding from the rest of the world and even it's citizens.

that is why Nigerians are very afraid of FBI, CIA etc even though those guys aren't even as good as Anonymous or fancy bear when it comes to hacking and cyber space, check all their movies USA ALWAYS wins, same with the news it always points in the direction that USA will eventually win.

I bet you didn't know that Nigerian forces are the fastest ground forces in history in world war 2 on march 14, 1941 the Nigerians chased down the Italians in record time in Ethiopia, yet you have 0 respect for Nigerian military because of all the bad news you hear and the lack of shame our people have so they steal openly and keep their dirt in the open for all to see.

The world fears American military even though Israel has a better trained, more compact military, more efficient, infact Vietnamese Rice farmers defeated US troops WELL in 1955-1975 massacred them. And USA started hiring military contractors and Africans to fight in their name so it always seems USA has little or no casualties because US army didn't die meanwhile their us military contractors and the Africans they hired died but won't be counted to the rest of the world as US citizens or casualties.

China, russia, India, south africa etc all vet news that pertains their various nations

That is why if you go to China today they will say you the foreigner is the cause of Corona, if you go to South Africa today they will say you the foreigner is the cause of drugs, rape, Hiv, prostitution everything bad happening in South Africa.

We are too interested in earning crumps that we sell our reputation for next to nothing.

Na hunger I blame.

Edit: this writeup was getting too long and I assumed everyone was smart enough to infer the ending, or how this relates to the topic but obviously not so I'll add it.

All these bad coverage will affect us negatively, perception, travel for business, leisure and education already China is in full swing it's business as usual you can go online and order goods from China Nd it'll be delivered to Nigeria meanwhile someone outside Nigeria cannot order goods from Nigeria and get it in his/her country. Why? Didn't China have worse hit than us? They supressed their Corona cases and even tried to silence the doctor who broke the story remember?

Countries purported to be badly hit are being restricted by E.U and many nations, Portugal was angry that UK restricted their citizens when they don't have many cases then imagine whether or not Nigeria won't be restricted when you present to the world on BBC that;
1. your people are ignorant,
2. The virus is ravaging Nigeria
3. The medical sector is poor and ill equipped to face the disease even tho we dealt with ebola

Connect the dots

Thanks for all the likes and comments so I'll add jara.

"Do not fear the enemy for they can only take your life, fear the media far more for they will destroy your honour" -

this was what the Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap (who actually had no direct military training and was a history teacher at a French-speaking academy) told the Vietnamese people during the Vietnamese war with America.

That's why I referred to them as rice farmers and not soldiers even their highest ranked fighters weren't actually trained majority of the soldiers were rice farmers Yet they defeated USA and very few people know the outcome of the war thanks to US media control.

After the war one of USA's top military officials said "it was the first war we fought on the television screen and the first war our country ever fought were the media had FULL REIGN"

Nigerians have been lied to alot to believe America has the best military in the world.

World War 2 was majorly won by the Soviet Union

The Vietnamese war was won by Ho Chi Minh, even with the untrained less equipped and poor Vietnamese people.

America was loosing the war but lying to their people that they were gaining ground.

They're still fighting in Afghanistan for over a decade and haven't made any serious progress.

The only credit they can claim is the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which reports says they were already willing to surrender because the Japanese fear the advancing Soviet Red Army.

I don't see any major war they've won, and I see people who keep on believing their lies as those who know little about historical events.

Anti business Nigerian govt.

Dstv subs in Nigeria are the lowest in Africa.

So the only reason, they put the law was because of startimes a govt company.

They want to collect things for free without paying.

Socialist government, that is why this country will be forever poor.

You're not saying much, first of all the governmentv is in no way socialist, and again I don't know how Startimes is a government company.

Politics / Re: AFDB Ranked Fourth Most Transparent Aid Institution In The World by Slimpotter(m): 12:10pm On Jun 25, 2020
Bar1941:
This same AFDB that the Trump administration tagged ineffective and lack transparency, shame on Trump and his officials, they are only aggrieved based on what they perceived as collaborative relationship African nations are having under the current AfDB administration with China thus finding every means to tarnish the image of AfDB leadership.

Assuming the plans of US come to pass, Dr Adeshina would have been removed unjustly but thank God while they were planning their ungodly act, the issue of Floyd George came up and their plans were truncated.

Dr Adeshina is among the few intellectuals we have in the helm of affairs in Africa currently, even as corrupt as Nigeria is, he stood out when he served as minister of Agriculture so it's pertinent on us in that part of the world to stand against any oppressor that wants to bully character like this.


Because of his relationship with China the slave masters were angry, and Nigerians were supporting America.

The Chinese people are very calculative and business minded. Don't be decieved by any act of kindness in the name of bilateral relations, cos they know what they stand to gain before giving Nigeria all these loans we keep requesting. Remember there is no free lunch. When you don't repay those loans as expected, u will see their other side. Are the Chinese not already taking charge of sensitive government projects as we speak?

Foreign Affairs / Re: China Warns Britain That Beijing Will 'Strike Back If UK Steps Out Of Line' by Slimpotter(m): 5:34pm On Jun 19, 2020
SavageResponse:


= Russia classifies itself more as a European than and Asian country

= Russia knows China cannot be trusted

= Russia sees China as a potential economic rival

= Russia knows that the stability of the world's economy is better served if the European Block which is the largest and most organised in the world remains united and stable

= If Russia does not support europe the major economic power houses in europe (Countries such as Germany, U.K, France, Italy and Spain) who have hitherto agreed to halt nuclear enrichment programs will start arms buildup of their own because they have the money and the technical expertise to do so

You might say, Russia wouldn't want any instability in the euro zone and therefore wouldn't support China.

But Russia is closer to China than even Europe because they're not even allies to the European nations.
The same European nations who joined the US in placing sanctions on Russia wouldn't easily forget that.
Russia is not part of the G7 because of it's European counterparts, when Trump wanted to add Russia back to the G7 Germany rejected it.
Russia and China have been doing joint military drills together, so in defense they're closer. How would you take sides with your enemies.
