Unraveling US Foreign Interference Strategies in Nigeria: Patterns and Implications
Sputnik Africa
This episode illuminates the recent US-Nigeria diplomatic friction, connecting it to a decades-long strategy of foreign-led disintegration and the unifying cultural vision for Africa championed by its traditional rulers.
The recent claims by the United States of alleged religious intolerance in Nigeria were met with a firm rebuke from Nigerian officials. However, according to Dr. Emmanuel Chukwuka Johnson, a former vice-presidential candidate, this goes beyond a simple diplomatic disagreement. He believes there is a link between the current events and a historical pattern of foreign interference in the country, with the ultimate goal being control over oil resources. In a revealing interview with Sputnik Africa, Dr. Johnson connected the dots back to 1945, arguing that the US relationship with Nigeria didn't start on the ground of partnership but in support of British colonialism.This episode also features the thoughts of Senior Chief Puta VIII, the king of the Bwile people in both the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia, as he interacted with Sputnik Africa’s correspondent during an African Traditional Leaders Forum in Addis Ababa. The king’s vision was bold and uncompromising; his prescription for sovereignty is economic.Tune in to listen to the full conversation with our guests on the Pan African Frequency podcast, brought to you by Sputnik Africa.In addition to the website, you can also catch our episodes on Telegram.► You can also listen to our podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Deezer, Pocket Casts, Afripods, and Podcast Addict► Check out all the episodes of Pan-African Frequency

Unraveling US Foreign Interference Strategies in Nigeria: Patterns and Implications
This episode illuminates the recent US-Nigeria diplomatic friction, connecting it to a decades-long strategy of foreign-led disintegration and the unifying cultural vision for Africa championed by its traditional rulers.
The recent claims by the United States of alleged religious intolerance in Nigeria were met with a firm rebuke from Nigerian officials. However, according to Dr. Emmanuel Chukwuka Johnson, a former vice-presidential candidate, this goes beyond a simple diplomatic disagreement. He believes there is a link between the current events and a historical pattern of foreign interference in the country, with the ultimate goal being control over oil resources. In a revealing interview with Sputnik Africa, Dr. Johnson connected the dots back to 1945, arguing that the US relationship with Nigeria didn't start on the ground of partnership but in support of British colonialism.
We just need to go back to the beginning of our relationship with the US as a country [....] our relationship with the US didn't start on the ground of partnership. In fact, the US came in support of Britain to hold us in the colonial era [...] The US has always been doing things that will break Nigeria. We also record the role that the US played during our civil war, which was not the one of uniting Nigeria, but rather the one to break Nigeria. So my take is that it has always been the same game [....] Partnership with the Global South means a lot [...] in terms of economic development, technology development [....] If Nigeria could acquire this technology from this partnership, it would help Nigeria to develop its own mineral resources [...] I think it's long overdue for Nigeria to cut off from aid, because this aid is what they have been using to kind of blackmail Nigeria into doing things that we are not supposed to do naturally. [...] And then that could also send a signal to the US, and Nigeria being an important country to them for the strategic importance of Nigeria, the location, the oil, and other assets in Nigeria," Johnson explained.
This episode also features the thoughts of Senior Chief Puta VIII, the king of the Bwile people in both the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia, as he interacted with Sputnik Africa’s correspondent during an African Traditional Leaders Forum in Addis Ababa. The king’s vision was bold and uncompromising; his prescription for sovereignty is economic.
“Young people have been misled by the white monopoly. I am an African leader [...] the traditional leadership, we want to have one currency, one passport, [for] the whole of Africa, like the way it is in America. This is what we want. This is what we were dreaming about. Now, it has become a heritage. We are going to do it as Africans [...] We have learned about people in Africa. We have engineers. We have doctors. We have professors. We have a lot of people who are very highly educated, who can run this Africa, our industries. We have everything. We have copper. We have gold. We have everything in Africa. We don't need these others to come and tell us what to do and determine the price of our copper and gold. No, we don't want that,” the King emphasized.
