Modern slavery: $700 Billion worth of Crude Resource in exchange for?

[kingstep]

Nigeria has given the united state of America Access to it $700 billion worth  mineral resources. What best describe modern day slavery than this?
 
Nigeria's Minister of Solid Minerals Dele Alake and US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau have signed an agreement to deepen American investment in Nigeria's mining sector, formalised at the Nigeria Mission House in New York on Wednesday. The framework covers;

1.  geological data and exploration

2. mineral development and processing,

3. And infrastructure and technical capacity.
 
As a Nigerian, I can't help but question this mining agreement with the US. We have mineral resources estimated at about $700 billion, yet we are again looking to foreign powers to develop and profit from them.

 If we keep providing the resources while depending on others for the technology, capital and processing, aren't we simply creating another form of economic slavery?

Trump come and save Christians in Nigeria!! I hope they are see this now? Trump come and save Nigeria I hope they do see this because, America gives with the left hand and takes with the right hand. So without further thought we have just formalized neo colonialism which a lot of people who understand the presence of the United States in abt country has been agitating for. Maybe deals can be call off if we have a new leadership.

I understand the frustration, but I think we should be careful about expecting another country to come and solve Nigeria’s problems for us. Any agreement with a foreign government should be judged by its actual terms, transparency and impact on Nigerians. Foreign assistance can help, but Nigeria still needs strong institutions and leadership capable of protecting its own citizens and interests.
