Nigeria the most corrupt country in the world and the Maldivian Government want bilateral relations between the two countries.
China owns all their industry, has raped their mineral assets and shipped them back to China. No benefit to the Maldives.
Agriculture policy sees their crops rot before it can reach the markets so they rely on charity hand out from Aid organisations. No benefit to the Maldives.
Energy infrastructure only provided in the major cities, the rest of the country is in black out when the sun sets. No benefit to the Maldives.
51% of internet scams originate in Nigeria costing $9.3 billion globally each year.
Tourism in Nigeria is blighted by gang wars in Lagos. Drug barons causing mayhem in Mushim forcing residents to flee for their lives. Ok could be something here for the Maldives benefit.
So what does the Maldives gain from this relationship?
