Kaduna Secures $200 Million Chinese Deal for West Africa’s Largest Poultry Hub

Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has arrived in Beijing to finalize binding agreements on a $200 million integrated poultry project that will become the largest in West Africa.

According to governor, this initiative, building on the Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership announced last month, is projected to generate an staggering $450 million in annual revenue, create over 350,000 jobs ranging from direct farm roles to indirect supply chain positions and dramatically enhance food security across Nigeria. Spanning 10,000 hectares, the project will integrate large-scale poultry farming with maize and soybean cultivation for feed production, addressing chronic feed shortages and slashing costs for local farmers.

Construction on the pilot phase is slated to break ground in Kaduna next month, positioning the state as the epicenter of President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope agenda for agricultural self-sufficiency.

Governor Sani is leading the high-stakes delegation, joined by a federal team spearheaded by the Director General of the Nigeria–China Strategic Partnership. Their itinerary includes closed-door sessions with top Chinese firms, notably the China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), to lock in technical expertise, infrastructure support, and sustained investments.

"This is more than diplomacy, it's a blueprint for prosperity," Sani declared upon arrival at Beijing Capital International Airport, where he was greeted by Chinese officials. "On behalf of Kaduna and Nigeria, I extend my deepest gratitude to President Tinubu for championing this vision and to our Chinese partners for their unwavering commitment. We are resolute in our pursuit of investments that uplift our people, secure our tables, and propel Kaduna as Africa's agro-industrial beacon."

Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria Yu Dunhai Has an Audience with H.E. Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

On December 5, 2025, Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria Yu Dunhai had an audience with His Excellency Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Both sides spoke highly of the development of the China-Nigeria Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and agreed to further deepen practical cooperation across various fields for the mutual benefit of the two peoples.

Ambassador Yu noted that, through the joint efforts of both sides, China-Nigeria relations have entered a “fast track.” The two countries have consistently understood and supported each other on issues concerning core interests, and China supports Nigeria’s efforts in combating terrorism. China stands ready to work closely with Nigeria to accelerate the implementation of the zero-tariff policy for Nigerian exports, strengthen the alignment of development strategies, consolidate strategic mutual trust, and elevate bilateral relations to a new height.

Global Green Economy Hits $5 Trillion, Set to Grow to $7 Trillion by 2030 — WEF Report

The World Economic Forum (WEF) reports that the global green economy has surpassed $5 trillion and is projected to exceed $7 trillion annually by 2030, driven by rapid growth in clean technologies such as solar, wind, batteries, and electric vehicles. According to the WEF–BCG report, green revenues are expanding twice as fast as conventional revenues, with companies in green markets enjoying cheaper capital and valuation premiums. However, technologies like low-carbon hydrogen and carbon capture still require major policy and financial support to achieve cost competitiveness.
The report highlights China’s dominant role in global clean-energy investment and innovation, while the International Energy Agency (IEA) warns that billions still lack access to electricity and clean cooking, requiring sustained global financing. Despite economic headwinds, green investments continue to break records, positioning the sector as one of the world’s fastest-growing economic engines.

NEVER FORGET that Trump DECLINED Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro’s offer of a dominant stake in Venezuela’s oil, gold, and mineral wealth along with agreeing to cut ties with Russia and China.

Trump instead sent 10,000+ troops and 10% of the entire U.S. Navy to the region.

The approval rating of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's government has risen following the diplomatic row with China, now reaching a record 75%.

A bold undersea railway project is rapidly gaining traction, offering the promise of shorter journeys, stronger trade links, and an entirely new map of regional connectivity.
In China, engineers and planners are pushing forward with an ambitious plan to carve a high-speed rail line beneath the Bohai Strait, linking two bustling peninsulas through a deep, pressurised tunnel. The idea is simple: replace a six-hour trip around the sea with a fast, under-one-hour dash beneath it.

DoJ Document Links Pro-Biafra Groups to U.S. ‘Christian Genocide’ Campaign.

Documents from the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) show that a coalition of pro-Biafra groups is behind the campaign alleging a “Christian genocide in Nigeria,” a narrative that helped prompt former U.S. President Donald Trump to label Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern.

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz recently accused the Nigerian government of enabling a “massacre” of Christians, saying in a video on X: “There is no country on earth where Christians are more persecuted than Nigeria.” He claimed Boko Haram & extremist groups have killed over 50,000 Christians since 2009 & destroyed more than 20,000 churches & schools.

DoJ filings under the U.S. Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) link the campaign to the United States of Biafra, which includes the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE).

The filings show that BRGIE’s U.S. representative, Moran Global Strategies, led by former Congressman Jim Moran, has established ties with Cruz’s office.

Documents reviewed by The Guardian reveal that BRGIE members signed a declaration in Lahti, Finland, on December 2, 2024, claiming Nigeria is carrying out a “genocidal onslaught” against Biafrans and Christians. Signatories include diaspora figure Simon Ekpa—now jailed in Finland for torrorism-related offences—Dr Ngozi Orabueze, and Diane Emeh.

While the movement pushes Biafra’s secession, its messaging is tailored to American conservative audiences, arguing that supporting Biafra would counter China’s influence and protect Christians “under siege.” The filings outline organised activities such as fundraising, political statements and diaspora mobilisation.

The documents also mention an internal vote held between February and November 2024, after which the group declared the “Restored Independence of the United States of Biafra,” claiming authority over “40 states.”

Security analysts warn that framing separatist advocacy as evidence of genocide could inflame ethnic tensions and distort international perceptions. 

Former Foreign Affairs Minister Bolaji Akinyemi has also cautioned that such claims may harm Nigeria’s global reputation.

PDP Crisis Deepens as Wike-Backed Faction Expels Governors Makinde, Balance Mohammed & Dauda Lawal.

The internal turmoil within the PDP escalated sharply on Tuesday as the factional National Executive Committee (NEC) aligned with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, ratified the expulsion of several high-profile party figures, including Governors Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), and Dauda Lawal (Zamfara).

Also expelled were former Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Senator Adolphus Wabara; former National Vice Chairman, Bode George; and the recently elected National Chairman, Kabiru Turaki, SAN.

Tuesday’s actions follow last weekend’s contentious PDP national convention in Ibadan, where Wike and his loyalists were themselves expelled—sparking a fresh wave of confrontations. 

The tension peaked at the PDP national secretariat in Wadata Plaza, Abuja, where rival factions attempted to hold parallel NEC and Board of Trustees meetings, resulting in a heated standoff.

During its meeting at the secretariat, the Wike-backed factional NEC also dissolved the state executive councils in Oyo, Bauchi, Zamfara, Yobe, Lagos, and Ekiti, directing that caretaker committees be set up and new congresses conducted.

Reading the communiqué, National Secretary Senator Sam Anyanwu said, “NEC received the report of the Acting National Chairman, Hon. Abdulrahman Mohammed, detailing breaches of Articles 58(1) and 59(1), including anti-party activities, disobedience to court orders, and conduct bringing the party into disrepute.”

He added that NEC had approved disciplinary proceedings against several members, including Adolphus Wabara, Olabode George, Ben N. Obi, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, Bala Mohammed, Oluseyi Makinde, Dauda Lawal, Taofiq Arapaja, Setonji Koshoedo, Okechukwu Obiechina Daniel, Woyengikuro Daniel, Mohammed Kadade Suleiman, Emmanuel Ogidi, Sumaila Adamu Burga, Umar Sani, Udom Emmanuel, and Emmanuel Enorden.

Tanzanian President Appoints Daughter and Son-in-law as Ministers.

Tanzania’s President Samia Hassan has appointed her daughter and son-in-law as ministers in her newly formed government. In a nationwide broadcast on Monday, Mrs. Hassan, who was declared the winner of the October 29 presidential election, named 27 ministers and 29 deputy ministers, including her family members.

Wanu Hafidh Amei, the president’s daughter, was named deputy minister for education, science, and technology, while her husband, Mohamed Mchengerwa, took over as health minister. In other appointments, Tanzania’s ambassador to China, Khamis Mussa Omar, became finance minister, while Adolf Mkenda retained his role as education, science, and technology minister.

Seven former ministers were removed, but Anthony Mavunde and Mahmoud Thabit Kombo were retained as mining and foreign affairs ministers, respectively.

Mrs. Hassan’s re-election has attracted criticism due to violent protests, an internet shutdown, and a crackdown on demonstrators.

The United Nations has called for thorough investigations into reported deaths, warning that authorities may be concealing evidence. Opposition party CHADEMA, whose candidate Tundu Lissu was barred from the election, claims about 700 people were killed and refuses to recognize Mrs. Hassan as president.

International observers have also expressed concerns. The African Union deemed the election not credible, while the European Union, Southern African Development Community, and missions from the UK, Canada, and Norway condemned the fatalities, suppression of opposition, and internet restrictions during the polls.

Fugitive Chinese Fraudsters Caught in UK After £5.5bn Bitcoin Scam.

A Chinese national has been jailed in the UK following the country’s largest-ever cryptocurrency seizure, involving bitcoin worth more than £5.5 billion at the time of her conviction.

Zhimin Qian, 47, also known as Yadi Zhang, orchestrated a massive Ponzi scheme in China, defrauding over 128,000 victims between 2014 and 2017 through her company, Lantian Gerui. When Chinese authorities investigated her activities, she fled to the UK in September 2017 under a fake identity.

While on the run, Qian lived lavishly, renting a Hampstead property for £17,333 per month and traveling across Europe, converting bitcoin into cash, jewellery, and property. In 2018, she attempted to buy a £12.5 million London property, sparking UK authorities’ investigations.

Qian recruited accomplices including Jian Wen, who helped establish her life in London, and Seng Hok Ling, who assisted with transferring criminal property.

Ling, a Malaysian national, claimed he was unaware of Qian’s full criminality and described her as the “boss lady.”

Qian evaded arrest for nearly six years until April 2024, when she was caught in York following a trail of bitcoin transfers. Authorities recovered multiple devices, including a laptop containing millions in bitcoin.

On Tuesday, Qian was sentenced to 11 years and 8 months for money laundering and possessing criminal property, while Ling received 4 years and 11 months. At conviction in September, the bitcoin was valued over £5.5 billion; it is now worth around £5 billion.

This case marks the UK’s largest cryptocurrency seizure, highlighting the challenges of tracing digital assets tied to international financial crime.

US Senator Ted Cruz Condemns China Over “Largest Crackdown” On Christians, Demands Release Of Detained Pastor.

In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), Cruz said he was “glad to see the U.S. Senate unanimously pass resolution condemning the abduction of Pastor Ezra Jin,” calling the incident part of a disturbing pattern of systematic persecution of Christians in China.

The United States Senator, Ted Cruz, has condemned what he described as a “grave violation of religious freedom and human dignity” by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) following the abduction of Pastor Ezra Jin, the leader of one of China’s largest underground churches.

In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), Cruz said he was “glad to see the U.S. Senate unanimously pass resolution condemning the abduction of Pastor Ezra Jin,” calling the incident part of a disturbing pattern of systematic persecution of Christians in China.

“In China, Christians are fighting daily for their religious freedom against the Chinese Communist Party,” Cruz wrote.

Accompanying the post was a video of his Senate floor speech, in which he accused the Chinese government of launching the largest coordinated nationwide crackdown on Christians in more than four decades.

“I rise today to speak about a grave matter and a clear violation of religious freedom, human dignity, and the rule of law,” Cruz declared.

“On October 10, 2025, the Chinese Communist Party launched the largest coordinated nationwide crackdown in more than four decades against a Christian urban home house church in China. In that sweep, 23 pastors and church members of the Zion Church, one of China’s largest underground congregations, were arrested and wrongfully detained.”

The Texas senator said Pastor Ezra Jin and his congregation were not involved in any acts of violence, but were simply worshipping and serving God, when the regime labelled them enemies of the state.

Don’t expect Russia or China to save Nigeria if the U.S. invades; they’ll just condemn America in strong terms and do nothing, says Pastor Adeboye.

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Nigeria’s service chiefs to act swiftly against the rising wave of killings across the country.

Speaking during the November Holy Ghost Service at the Redemption Camp, Adeboye said terrorists and their sponsors must be eliminated “no matter how influential they may be,” and called on the President to seek diplomatic support from the United States.

On current action, he said:
“When giving orders to the service chiefs this time around, we should make it clear to them that they are not only to eliminate the terrorists they should eliminate their sponsors, no matter how influential they may be.”

Warning against reliance on foreign powers, Adeboye added:
“If America should attack us, China is not coming to defend us. Russia will not come to defend us… Britain is not going to come and help us.”

He stressed the urgency of the situation:
“This is not the time for joking. This is not the time for drama… The point is, people are dying. Innocent people are dying.”

Critiquing a recent presidential statement, he said:
“I almost spoke last month when I heard the speech of my in-law, the President… where I heard him say, ‘All is well now, displaced people have returned to their villages.’ I almost said, ‘The one who wrote that speech for my President, my in-law, does not like him.’”

Adeboye concluded:
“Do you think I asked you to fast for 100 days for fun? Didn’t I share with you, my children, that God said this would be a remarkable year? Didn’t I share with you that God said the wind that started blowing last year would be more violent this year?”

U.S. Drafts Military Options for Possible Action in Northern Nigeria as Trump Issues Intervention statement.

The United States military has drafted a range of contingency plans for possible action in Nigeria after President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to “prepare to intervene” over alleged attacks on Christians claims Nigerian officials insist are false.

According to The New York Times, U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) has submitted three tiers of operational proposals to the Department of War at the request of Secretary Pete Hegseth. The plans are categorized as heavy, medium, and light options.

Under the heavy option, an aircraft carrier strike group would be deployed to the Gulf of Guinea, with fighter jets or long-range bombers striking targets in northern Nigeria.
The medium option involves drone strikes using MQ-9 Reaper and MQ-1 Predator aircraft against militant camps, convoys, and vehicles.

The light option focuses on intelligence sharing, logistics, and joint missions with Nigerian forces against Boko Haram and other Islamist groups.

Military officials warn that none of the limited options would end Nigeria’s long-running insurgency without a massive, Iraq-style campaign something Washington is not prepared to pursue.

Trump has maintained his threat, saying the U.S. is “ready, willing, and able” to act if the alleged persecution of Christians continues.

China has meanwhile declared firm support for Nigeria, warning against countries using religion or human rights as excuses to interfere in other nations’ internal affairs.

Nigeria has also pushed back strongly. Daniel Bwala, an aide to President Bola Tinubu, said there is no evidence of state-backed religious genocide and urged Washington to respect Nigeria’s sovereignty. He stressed that Nigeria needs equipment and intelligence not foreign troops on its soil.

We’re number one nuclear power in the world – Trump boasts amid tension in Nigeria.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday boasted that the United States has the best military equipment in the world.

Trump, who spoke at the American Business Forum, said he rebuilt the American military with the best missiles, rockets and other dangerous weapons.

According to Trump, the United States is the number one nuclear power followed by Russia and China.

He said, “I rebuilt the military, we have the best military in the world, we make the best equipment, the best missiles, rockets and the best everything.

“We’re the number one nuclear power, which I hate to admit because it’s so horrible. Russia is second. China is a distant third, but they will catch us within four or five years… And we’re maybe working on a plan to denuclearize the three of us.”

His remark is coming amid fear of possible US military action in Nigeria following alleged Christian genocide in the most populous black nation.

Trump, who designated Nigeria as Country of Particular Concerns on Friday, had also threatened that the US military may strike in Nigeria to take out the perpetrators of alleged Christian persecution if the Nigerian government fails to stop the terrorists.

US angry over Nigeria’s rejection of military base, not Christian killings CSO alleges.

A civil society organisation, Grassroot Advocacy for Peace and Good Governance, has claimed that the recent threats from U.S. President Donald Trump were not about alleged religious persecution but rather a reaction to Nigeria’s refusal to approve a U.S. military base and deportee resettlement deal.

Addressing journalists in Birnin Kebbi on Monday, the group’s chairman, Usman Muhammed Anache, alleged that Washington had been pressuring Abuja to allow the establishment of a U.S. military base following the withdrawal of American forces from Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso.

According to him, Nigeria’s decision to decline the proposal, coupled with its recent alignment with BRICS, the economic bloc led by Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, may have further strained relations between the two countries.

“The U.S. is displeased because Nigeria refused its request to set up a military base and to house American deportees. They have now resorted to using religion, knowing how sensitive Nigerians are to faith-related issues,” Anache said.

He commended Nigerian Christian leaders who openly rejected Trump’s claim of “Christian genocide,” noting that terrorist attacks in the country have affected both Muslims and Christians alike.

Anache further praised the Federal Government for what he described as its steadfastness in defending Nigeria’s sovereignty and promoting peace across West Africa.

“The divisive tactic of using religion to destabilize Nigeria will never succeed. This has been their plan since independence, but Nigeria has always stood united,” he added.

Trump had last week accused Nigeria of allowing the mass killing of Christians and threatened possible U.S. military action, a remark that has continued to attract condemnation from within and outside the country.
