The REAL Reason Behind the US War Threats Toward Nigeria
by New Rules [11-4-2025].
(RAD: Let's hope that Nigeria & China can put a STOP to the US messing around in Nigeria!!! By now it should be obvious to more & more people that the US doesn't play fair!!! They are always creating chaos. Trump definitely does NOT have the best interest of Nigeria in mind. He just wants to disrupt a winning relationship for both sides that China & Nigeria have established. I no longer trust Trump's motives with respect to other countries. — RAD)
Trump says that he wants to save the country’s Christian population. In reality, his motives are far less charitable.
The real objective is to undermine China and seize Nigeria’s rare earth resources.
The Strategic Play
1️⃣The Chinese Partnership: Nigeria has become a showcase of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in Africa, a model of international cooperation.
🟠 $21B in 2025 construction deals.
🟠 A subsequent $3.5B partnership for critical infrastructure: solar power, rail modernization, and industrial parks.
🟠 This is not debt-trap diplomacy, but a win-win partnership, building crucial infrastructure and fostering sustainable development.
2️⃣The Core US Concern: Rare Earth Minerals & Supply Chain Hegemony
🟠 Nigeria is resource-rich, with vast potential for growth. China's investments help develop these resources, including critical minerals essential for the global green energy transition.
🟠 By partnering with Nigeria through infrastructure, China enables a sovereign nation to modernize and integrate into global supply chains on its own terms.
🟠 This joint development model successfully challenges outdated Western hegemony, proving nations can thrive through cooperation, not coercion.
Conclusion
The "religious freedom" pretext is a transparently strategic narrative. The actual target is the success and stability delivered by China's BRI investment.
A nation destabilized by external threats cannot build the modern infrastructure it needs. The threat of conflict is a direct attempt to sabotage African progress and self-determination.
This is about fearing a successful model of non-interventionist partnership that empowers developing nations and rebalances global power.
We are witnessing a last stand against a superior form of international cooperation, where shared prosperity is the new front line, and sovereign development is the prize.
