I’ve been around the world to see some amazing/strange investments by China. Whole office buildings in Malaysia, South Africa, Costa Rica, etc that sit empty because a state-backed investor is speculating that this area will someday be more valuable.

No where was this more obvious than Malaysia which is their neighbor... but still crazy to see giant brand new office parks that look abandoned.

To your point, it doesn’t at all surprise me about Nigeria because I saw it in ZA.

China seems to have a world wide plan for the next century.
