Do you think foreign powers are working to keep Africa poor? Nigerian journalist claims he’s been paid to write a hit piece on Africas first oil refinery

He claims he received an N800,000(500 usd) offer from an international NGO called Dialogue Earth (formerly known as China Dialogue Trust) to write an article essentially saying that Dangote Refinery is terrible for the environment.

The dangote oil refinery is the first oil refinery in Africa, but if you have followed the news you know that the Nigerian government themselves have worked hard to keep the refinery dysfunctional, and the Nigerian head of state owns his own refinery in Malta where 20% of the countries oil is sent, while the rest is sold raw to French and American oil companies.

The conspiracy here is that America and western countries in general do not want to let Africa industrialise, because keeping them poor is way too profitable for the west, and the west actively acts against the people of Africa, keeping them poor and starving so they can get cheap natural resources.
