Nigeria’s Presidential Jet Fiasco: A Brazen Act Of Intimidation By China And France – A Wake-Up Call For Africa
The recent seizure of three presidential jets in France and Switzerland is a brazen act of intimidation by China and France against the Nigerian state.
This egregious act is a clear demonstration of the disdain with which Western powers and their Chinese allies view African nations. The seizure of the aircraft, which were undergoing routine maintenance, is a violation of Nigeria’s sovereignty and a clear disregard for international law and diplomatic norms.
The orders obtained by Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Co. Limited, a Chinese company, from the Judicial Court of Paris are a clear example of how foreign entities can exploit legal loopholes to intimidate and bully African nations. The fact that the orders were obtained without notice to the Federal Government of Nigeria and Ogun State Government is a clear indication of the company’s desperation and lack of regard for diplomatic norms.
The use of presidential jets as assets of a sovereign entity protected by diplomatic immunity should have forbidden any foreign court from issuing an order against them.
However, the French court’s decision to do so is a clear violation of international law and diplomatic norms. This act of intimidation is a clear demonstration of the disdain with which Western powers and their Chinese allies view African nations.
To avoid such violations, African nations must establish robust legal frameworks to protect national assets and sovereignty. This includes developing effective counter-measures to checkmate foreign aggression, including economic diplomacy and strategic partnerships. African nations must also enhance their national capacity for international law and diplomacy to navigate complex global disputes.
Furthermore, African nations must foster a culture of transparency and accountability in government dealings to prevent exploitation by foreign entities. The Nigerian government has initiated legal and diplomatic steps to release the seized aircraft, and the international community must support Nigeria’s efforts to protect its sovereignty and assets.
The era of neo-colonialism and bullying must end. African nations deserve respect, dignity, and equal treatment under international law. Nigeria will not be bullied or intimidated by Western powers and their Chinese allies. It is time for Nigeria to assert its sovereignty and territorial integrity. The world is watching
