| Abstract | This Research is meant to match the perceived interests of China against the real motives of her engagements in Nigeria, by investigating how the Chinese economic activities have impacted on the socio-economic lives of Nigerians. In doing this, it started with examination of China's trade and invessment to unveil their impacts as it concerns dumping of substandard goods, infrastructural development, technology transfer, labour/human rights and the overall poverty alleviation in the country. Using a qualitative approach that is anchored on collection of data from secondary and primary built on structured interviews, the study argued that China's trade and investment provided only three short term benefits, while the rest are negatives in both long and short term benefits. This situation implies that Marrakech Declaration and South-South affinity in this era of integrated global economy is no more attainable as it is a geopolitical tool in the hands of few. Notwithstanding, there are numerous windows of opportunities for Nigeria to exploit through leadership, the paper therefore, recommended that Nigeria should put in place and effectively implement policies and measures that are both preventive and offensive to overcome its state of dependency to enable the country gain the deserved benefits from her relations with other countries. |
