France and USA is the second and third lenders to Nigeria and Africa but no one talks about those countries, maybe the media fears them because they pay their bills

Nigeria should go to India 🇮🇳 for helping them in this crisis no to the country who bought Nigeria to this debt and inflation . India can solve this crisis in many ways as india help Srilanka stabilize their economy and inflation. India don't feed on other countries .

[chukwudichieji]

getting more loans means nothing and will not change anything. China should not even listen to him if he dare ask of it. Nigeria don't have a revenue problem. tackle fuel theft and spend judiciously what you have without borrowing.

[chukwudichieji]

i still don't know where the loans from China were spent in Nigeria. The last administration of Buhari really finished and collapsed Nigeria. Tinubu's reluctance to probe and recover looted thefts under the guese of being strategic for the 2027 elections makes his supposed visit meaningless.

[solomonkpeh]

I look forward to Bola Tinubu's visit to China. This is is for the benefit of the Nigerian population. China has done more than a enough to prove her friendship to Nigeria and Africa. This visit will open more doors of opportunities to Nigerians (especially in defense).

[okpesunday]
