- President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is capping a three-nation tour of Africa with Nigeria where the hard bargaining is about much more than commercial deals. After the success of Turkish-made drones in the war in Nagorno-Karabakh, arms sales are certainly in the mix. furthermore, we will ask about drone diplomacy and Erdogan's bid to take custody of Nigerian schools and universities run by the rival Gulenist movement, accused of orchestrating the failed 2016 coup in Turkey.

@@eddiekirindo2025 an expansionist state is not the same as a colonist state. The system of the ottoman empire was the directly adopted version of the roman empire, where the state granted rights and fair judiciary to everyone within its borders. Collecting slaves inside the borders of the empire was banned, and some provinces even had partial autonomy, such as some north african regions.

Dont be naive, Turkey was an imperialist country from 1299-1922, its focusing on Africa due to the rejection of Europe to admit them in the EU.

Macron looks envious and is worried about his business in africa. Thats why Macron hates Erdogan, but it is also his own fault. While Macron misbehaves in africa like a former French imperial emperor, Erdogan comes along with respect and win-win philosophy. It is only a matter of time before france suffers significant future losses from competitors like China, Turkey, India. France must thoroughly re-evaluate its economic relations with Africa and reposition itself.

No more raw materials export. If turkey wanna work with Nigeria. industries should be buid in Africa territory for the minerals resources and produces in Nigeria.we needs to create jobs for our citizens.
As a Turk I agree with you. It will be like that. Because African people were suffered enough from West.
France obsessed with turkey
Business way more better than donor....
It's true
As aTurk. Africa were suffered from West. Thats must he enough. Thebworld is bigger than 5 contries. It will be change in future. As aTurk we wabt that. The world must be chabged.
Don't worry,journalist
The French seemed to be scared because their colonial projects is coming to an end.
France is mad😂😂😂😂

Not based on colonialism? Did I imagine the Ottoman empire?
Expansionism not the same thing with colonialism.
Looks like a dictator and acts live a dictator. Atuturk would be ashamed that this goof took the country into the dark ages.
The irony is Turkey itself a colonial power (the Ottoman Empire) and is mostly unpopular among it's former colonies in North Africa & the Middle East. So the pontificating about 'former colonial powers' is ironic.
Ottomans not a colonial power. Expansionism not the same thing with colonialism.
Turkish has never been a colonial power. Get your facts right. Hegemonistic? Maybe. Ottoman never carved a country's reseources and enslaved them...they conquered and ruled, assigned a governor,mostly a local also. Hope you change your perspective.
You would be speaking Turkish
Why don't you ask people that have been under the Ottoman rule how friendly, progressive, non colonialists
Turks have been in the past.
And how lightly will they take rejection in the case you would like to end your cooperation in your own country on your own terms or even on equal terms respectively.
You would wish to have rather worked with a crime sindicate than connecting on business with the Turks themselves.!

Whats so special about Africa? Why does everyone want a piece of the continent
Africa has more resources than any other country on the globe, If you don't know this by now you have been sleeping.
Turkey fatf good news
Er, Erdogan doesn't have the right to lay claim to the name 'Turkey' or 'Turkish' as if, somehow, it's a regime-owned trademark. If a University has the name 'Turkish' in it, it doesn't and shouldn't signify that somehow it's representative of the Turkish government.
There are many schools & Unis with 'British' or 'American' or 'Francais' in their name throughout Africa, but nobody really thinks they are therefore representing those foreign governments, that's ridiculous. It speaks volumes about Erdogan's mindset and how he decides to use leverage. He sees Gulen & Gulenists as the greatest threat to his hold on power in Turkey and, like all authoritarians, he doesn't tolerate any kind of power base he doesn't fully control or have full leverage over.

@@item6931 Yep! France wouldn't understand even if I said so, because most of those ex(still)-colonial European states still think it's the WW2 era. They still think that Russians are that big bad superpower of the world along side of US.
Soviets have lost, beaten and are gone. And Russia have reduced to a literal regional power today. A petrodollar regional power which like I said only is a glorified Saudi Arabia. And that's only because of the Soviet heritage.
Russia pose no threat to anyone in Africa. Neither does Turkey. Both nations tries to bolster their relations and trade with African nations. Russia isn't trying to "annoy" Turkey nor Turkey does Russia. Also yes Russian existence in Africa is very minimal.
If you want to see a real threat check out the China and their debt traps.
