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

[Jonty30]

Nigeria is awash in oil.

Strategic location. Atlantic Ocean.

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.

The Chicom propaganda thread.

How quaint

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.

Lemme know when the Chinese allow mass immigration from Nigeria to China.

[Captainpaintball]

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

[DannyTN]

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

[Ancesthntr]

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

[Organic Panic]

Up next China will have wonderful pre made bases thanks to Biden right next door in Niger. More rare earth minerals controlled by commies.

[DesertRhino]

Nice work DC idiots.
