Russia and China are killing it in the Global South. I wonder if there are any strategic resources in Nigeria?

Nigeria is somewhat the “hegemon” of West Africa. Makes sense to raise the level of contacts and relationship.

And just think - unlike America’s own Neo-marxist government, China’s marxists can have good relations with these countries WITHOUT needing to import millions of their poorest citizens. Weird.

China also doesn’t mess with trying to push perversion agenda like LGBT crappola on these countries in Africa who do not want it.

I despise the CCP but this isn’t about talking up China. It is about what China is doing that has achieved success where we did not and why is that?

Awhile back I was listening to NPR (yeah, I know) and they were interviewing a well-spoken young man from sub-Saharan Africa - I forget the actual country.

The man was talking about how great the Chinese are. There were building all these new roads in the capital. Great people, those Chinese!

I wonder if that guy ever saw the “Godfather”.

Russia single-handedly ripped France's hidden African colonial empire during the Ukraine War. That is why Macaroni is soooo p1ssed off.
Africa, the new frontline between the West and Russia
Russia's conquest of Africa’ (1/3). The Kremlin has successfully deployed a military presence and media influence on the continent, surprising the West. A year after the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of the Wagner paramilitary group that spearheaded the breakthrough, Putin's Russia is no longer hiding its intentions.

Let's face it: Russia's presence in Africa is no longer a fantasy. It is no longer the mirage it was initially believed to be, a fictitious product of information warfare. It is now a geopolitical reality, a pervasive if not lasting one, a reshuffling of the cards between the powers south of the Mediterranean Sea. In Sudan, Niger, Libya, Burkina Faso, Mali, the Central African Republic (CAR) and Madagascar, Moscow has been weaving a web of influence since 2017 and 2018 to serve its new agenda of confrontation with the West, against the backdrop of a war in Ukraine that is rekindling the East-West divide.

Nigeria’s population has DOUBLED since 1997. Extra troops to fight for China in Africa? Extra troops for China to fight in THE USA?

“ this isn’t about talking up China”

I read this.

“ Russia and China are killing it in the Global South”

Side note, only leftists and globalists use the term “global south.”

China is sending bank accounts so a Nigerian prince can move money from Nigeria. China will keep half.

Just so long as all of the Nigerian scammers start emailing Chinese citizens instead of us, China is welcome to that corrupt $hithole.

That of course will never happen. But as gesture of good will, perhaps the Chinese will allow Nigerian scammers to make an occasional phone call to Peking.

What has the West taken from Africa over the last 400 years? There’s plenty left.
