Keywords:
Political, Economic, Engagement, Dependency, Trade, Imperialism, DevelopmentAbstract
This paper explores the strategic political and economic partnership between China and Nigeria and matters arising. The paper adopts the Ex-Post-Facto research design for data collection and dependency theory as a theoretical framework of analysis. The bilateral trade and economic relationship between China and Nigeria was premised on a win-win partnership, but the paper found that this is contrary to the reality on ground as there is a persistent trade imbalance in favour of China year-on-year from the inception of the engagement to date. To reverse these trend, +the paper recommends among others, a total review of the major elements of the bilateral engagement especially in the area of trade that have shown to be exploitative and one sided.
