Could this be an approach to have a controlling stake in our economy, to destabilize us from moving forward and always depending on them?

Some of the laws of power are to always make others come to you. “Use bait if necessary”
Keep people dependent on you.
Control the Options: Get others to play with the Cards you Deal

If we look carefully, we will realize that these are the tactics that they are using to align themselves with Africans. They are forming Joint ventures with government entities to cement their tides to extract resources from Africa therefore offerings incentives to help us manage our economy. Their incentives include building of infrastructures using Chinese technology which does not offer knowledge transfer or technology transfer. Meaning we will always be at their mercy for quality product, maintenance or so.

Most of their structured investment ventures set up to assist Africa only award contracts to Chinese contractors. If the money is coming from Chinese government (banks)…they are the only people that are going to supervise what ever projects that is on ground. How do we make sure whatever projects embarked on cater to the needs of the people and done with quality resources?


Could this be true? What can we do to change the mentality and orientation of people to avoid been dependent on countries like China?

well we can only be sure by standing against all the political monkies roaming in nigeria

china Baby food is know to kill children. Most part of the world have banned china baby food.

Even though, would be nice to see the investments from within, it is likely so impossible, cos most of our leaders and those that has the money dont seems to be interested in such investment, and China being the manufacturing power of the world at present needs to prepare ground work to make sure that they have undisturbed access to the materials needed for their production, a chinese man will never do something for you, if there is nothing in it for them, like the poster said, they dont blv in knowledge transfer, and these are some of the reasons why chinese are good at what they do, they will never give yu the blue print, cos if they do, then, they are of no use anymore, so they wanna be in the market forever.
So let us just enjoy what they are giving us.
We are now like the son of the king that is eating the leftover that is dropping from the table of the king, how sad?

Can the government make it their priority to set up independent parastatals to supervise and guide all non profit investments embarked on foreign coys aided to assist Africans. And if we have this already, then the government should equip this parastatal with resources needed to carry out their job function effectively. We all know most of these so called countries/companies coming to our shores, promising different incentives, ideas …Their strategy are just a marketing ploy to get whatever raw materials they need to elevate their economy. This is supposed to be a mutual benefit; on the long we find out we’re the one getting hurt. I believe failing to monitor their investments; checking properly quality of resources (monetary), quality of manpower, quality of technology that is being deployed into our economy…and evaluating the future impact of all these investments, and make sure our will and dependent on FDI will not put us in a reverse gear .

Others what says yall?
