STRATEGIC PHILOSOPHICAL FRAMEWORK FOR NIGERIA–CHINA RELATIONS: A MISLEADING PHILOSOPHY OF CAPITAL ACCUMULATION

Ugwuude

Abstract :

The present research highlights the point that all is not well with Nigeria–China Relations. The problem necessitating the research is the observation that Nigeria–China Relations is fast turning Nigeria into an African dump site for China’s market globalization for non–mutual benefits in favour of China.The aim of the paper was to propose through Kwame Nkrumah’s argument for self–development (as captured in his book:“’Neocolonialism’’),a new philosophy and policy framework for mutual benefit, otherwise Nigeria may become China’s new colony in Africa. The methods adopted for this purpose were those of observation, analysis and inference. In the end, the study concludes that if Nigeria must develop, then Nigeria’s foreign policy department must re–evaluate the country’s foreign relations, not only with China but in its entirely. The discovery which the paper made was a shocking one, namely, that most Nigerians tend to believe that all is well with Nigeria–China relations, while this is not the case. The research is significant as a work which raises something new from Nkruma’s thoughts, namely, his concept of political self–development as a valid philosophical framework for the“de–Chinazation”of Nigeria from China’s external policy, especially that of its market globalization.
