Nigeria Govt Accuses Chinese Firm Of Fraud, Seizing Assets & Presidential Jets | Firstpost Africa
Tensions between Nigeria and its biggest bilateral creditor China are simmering. Nigeria's Bola Tinubu government says it has uncovered secret attempts by a Chinese firm to take over Nigerian assets abroad using unorthodox means. The asset seizure by the Chinese firm also includes presidential jets. Recently, the Judicial Court in Paris ordered the seizure of three Nigerian aircraft that were on routine maintenance in France. Nigeria has accused the Chinese firm Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Co. Ltd of fraudulent activities and misleading courts in the UK, the US and France to claim Nigerian assets. Watch this video for details.

That was how many of you believed when these bunch of criminals claimed that they discovered Sani Abacha loots and repatriated to you people media news, where are those supposed Sani Abacha loots today that they claimed to had repatriated? Can you point one thing it was used for? They claimed they were going to monitored how the money is spent on the projects they mentioned, I told many of you that it was all a set up to tarnished Sani Abacha name more in order for Nigerians never to wish for a military rule again, why will Sani Abacha bank money with the West a man that never travelled abroad or outside Nigeria as Nigeria president or head of States, why? Sani Abacha was the only Nigeria president that the west wasn't able to ride like a horse in fact he put them all in their places, why will such man Bank many with them? I am not saying general Sani Abacha was a saint no but he held Nigeria economy strong, Naira never blinked against the dollar all through his four years in office, fuel price never shaked, with your salary as a civil servant you could feed like a king and question, there was nothing like Boko Haram and if he was the president today Boko Haram won't last a year before he erase them all, he was the only president that invested billions of dollars in agriculture, he ended the Sierra Leone civil war, no country dared to treat a Nigerian anyhow without him retaliating!!! Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida IBB the father of all destruction of Nigeria and her economy, why are they not repatriating billions of dollars he looted Nigeria of? Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida IBB was the man that the international monetary fund used to destroyed Nigeria currency Naira, Nigeria currency was the world most powerful currency before the international monetary fund IMF plotted with the American government to destroyed it, a Naira was Equivalent to $1.50, go do your research, I wonder when we Africans will wake up, you can borrow a Nation as wealthy as Nigeria money or any Africa country if not because you want to loot them, if I am Nigeria president I will erase all those fake loan's and these criminals will not blink unless they show me all the physical projects those fake loans was used for or on in Nigeria soil

So,basically one Ogun State governor took money from a Chinese firm and issued them a contract that they were under no obligation to complete. This whole debacle was facilitated by the federal government and all the corrupt officials that clearly got kickbacks. The next governor comes in and says to them; "that deal has nothing to do with my government so I'm revoking it". Unfortunately for everyone involved, Chinese companies do not operate without knowledge and backing of their own government...so China is now simply showing the Nigerian government the ;"Fu** around and find out!" Theory 😅 China has no need for the planes..they most likely lent the Nigerian government the money to buy them in the first place.

[@odemaj8605]

This men in power continuously disgrace this country, they have not for any reason given Nigerians a reason to be proud of its passport, this has over the years made many Nigerians seek dual citizenship or abandon Nigerian citizenship all together. Even with all that happened this August they still bought more planes,this tinubu man seems more concerned with the luxury of been president than the duty or service demanded by the office of the presidency.,under 1 year of this administration, tinubu has wasted the treasury funds and GDP on making life as luxury has possible for his family, the national assembly members and Godfathers particularly in northern Nigeria. This patience they require from Nigerians is only so they have time to embezzle the nation dry,while Nigerians sit and wait foolishly.

Though Nigerian government may have faulted because of bad governance, China is among the worst countries to engage in a symbiotic trade relationship with.
