Nigeria Threatens Mineral Trade Retaliation Over US Travel Ban | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Nigeria has issued a strong warning to the United States over reports that Washington may expand its travel ban to include 36 more countries, many of them African. Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, says such sweeping restrictions could trigger trade retaliation and jeopardize U.S. access to West Africa’s vital mineral resources. The move follows President Trump’s recent imposition of full or partial bans on several nations, sparking diplomatic backlash. Nigeria’s foreign minister has called the proposed expansion “unfortunate” and warned it could damage strategic partnerships. As tensions rise, other African nations may also push back against Washington’s tightening immigration stance.

9:51 The so mentioned rare earth minerals is illegally mined in Nigeria and China is exploiters and exporters at a very cheap labour accessable,they manage to bribe their way to get friendly clearances while the government overlooks.
Yes a greater parentage of our minerals mining are illically mined and exported to the determinate of the nation.
We actually need to be banned , so that will enable us realize what effectual measure we need ahead, apart from mingling with Communist countries that are /have subdued us for too long, and keeping us debted to them for life.

Like this man canvassing for China, he speak for his self and his family and pocket, he is the example of few ones benefiting from the bribes over and on the detriments that China are subjecting us into.
We as country have lost focus and direction, we cant be romancing with Americas enermies and expect them to open their doors frely for us.

Insecurity and corruption is thriving for this illicit acts and conducts to thrive.
Contrary to what that man said, at this very time all we need is America, Most especially under the Leadership of Pres. Donald Trump

Y usa worry abt they minerals it does anyway nothing for them look how they scattered across the globe thats enough proof😂😂😂

And who wants to go to that stupid country only fools dream of going to USA 🇺🇸 it’s really trash. Now says

As a Nigerian, neither I nor my bussiness need the US. All I need is China. I never and will never think of entering the US for I don't need it.

Very good after all all what Americans enjoy today is from Africa
The westerners are not without Africa

Band us from travelling also wake up

Madness okoko's efulefu's, upon your mineral resources you have in Nigeria yet people in Nigeria is poor! the mineral resources in Nigeria gose into leadership and politicians porkers, did you have electricity, hospitals, running water, good schools, roads,no industries for the youths have job after graduation? you are panicking and you belief to fight back to America is denied will cut off your resources control if restrictions travel bands for Nigeria, shameless idiotic devilish Islamic iswap Islamic terrorising in Nigeria government has,go and check out in Nigeria today, it's common person's provide things for themselves no benefits from the government, just imagine how Nigeria have copying American method of government, without putting up things on the table for Nigerians, what they do tell Nigeria it's my turn to rule,they rigged himself by fiat whereby lacks capacity, you want to challenge American,we are watching you Nigeria government!

Africa needs to process their own natural resources and create finish products and sell those products on the open market

What do we gain from travelling to the West? If USA bans us from coming to their country we too can ban them from entering our country. But why do we go there and why do they come here? Why do we trade travel for critical minerals? Nigeria should ban foreign nations from our country if they think they don't need us. Just that my country has refused to rise to dignity and live up to her pride and honour by using the vast mineral deposits to better our people.

Every country in the world world is reliant, including the almighty USA. We cannot continue to throw our resources out to them for free while they treat us worst than shitholes.

I heard, God doesn't make a mistake. I guess God didn't make a mistake by putting all the resources in Africa.

Don't only ban the US for it's travel bans, ban the US for any mistreatment of any black person in the US. Force the US to grant all blacks preferred status and equal to whites rights or do not grant US companies and government access to Africa natural resources.

There isn't one mineral in Africa that doesn't exist somewhere else.

The retaliation should be centered on making African countries good enough to discourage travel in the first place

Yeah, yeah… way to go; continue to alienate us from the rest of the world. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot, over and over and over. SMH.

God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬

Africa is now realising its power

Good that the Trump Administration showing how anti Black people they are. Otherwise we cannot build an adequate defensive wall against Trump and his cronies. In all aspects of US foreign and domestic policy, if Black people were involved Trump and his people would be sure to find an anti-Black position. He is rotten to the core and African nations are correct in shunning him.

NIGERIA needs to be on that list ASAP

Nigeria is a shithole country, according to Trump.

Nigeria can’t do shit they are corrupt af 😅. They are capping

Sehr gut. Sie dürfen sich nichts gefallen lassen und auf Achtung und Respekt bestehen.

United African together you are stronger against EVIL

Always talk, but no action. 😅😅😅

FANTASTIC

There’s nothing in America America has nothing. It cannot survive without NIgeria. Donald Trump is delusional..

Nigeria doesn’t have the balls 😂😂 The United States would slap sanctions of your miserable country, and any other country doing business in Nigeria so fast.

African peoples, continue thinking America is weak😂 China nor Russia can save you if America flex its muscles 💪 on the continent. 😂😂😂
