Proud of Germany’s refusal of Russian gas, Scholz went to Nigeria for African “blue fuel”

Germany will finally get rid of cheap Russian gas, switching to purchasing African gas. At least, this desire was expressed by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who is planning a visit to Nigeria.

Germany expects to conclude a contract with Nigeria for the supply of natural gas, which should replace Russian gas for the Germans. Berlin has such plans and Scholz intends to hold preliminary negotiations with the government of this country during his visit. As the Germans say, Nigeria is the leader in natural gas reserves, although only in Africa.



Nigeria has the largest gas reserves in Africa. German companies are interested in gas supplies from Nigeria and hope to cooperate with Nigerian gas companies

Scholz said.

At the same time, it is too early to talk about any details; everything is just beginning. German companies will conduct specific negotiations with Nigerian companies if Scholz manages to interest the authorities of this country with his proposal. Earlier, the German chancellor said that he was proud of Germany's refusal of cheap Russian gas. But the German industry only suffered from this turn; a number of enterprises simply closed, unable to meet the new prices for gas from alternative sources.

Yes, and Berlin flew through the Nord Streams and, instead of becoming a European gas hub, setting the price for blue fuel and making money on it, is forced to look for gas in Africa. And it is not a fact that Nigeria will agree to sell this gas, and at prices that will suit the Germans.

By the way, other European countries will soon start looking for other sources of gas supply; Ukraine is going to block the transit of Russian gas at the end of 2024. As stated in Kyiv, they do not plan to renew the contract with Gazprom.

          They may be first in line, but the question is who will offer more? And Russia is not just planting a garden there and the Chinese are showing interest.

        Let the Krauts and company drown them with whatever they want.
        But we don’t need to help Germany, especially since they don’t allow us to spend euros and dollars, but we need to completely gasify our country. Over there in Transbaikalia, and not only, coal, sir, the last century.
        We can increase LNG exports and build another pipeline to China, and develop gas-powered transport.
        And it is not gas that is exported, but fertilizers and other products of its processing; we process our gas not in different “Germanies”, but at home.

        Nigeria is not a panacea or a rubber country; gas is also limited. About 40% of the liquefied natural gas produced in the country is exported. Last year, Nigeria supplied 23,3 billion cubic meters of fuel to international markets. Nigeria sells at least 40% of its gas produced to the European Union. The main old buyers of LNG are Spain, Portugal and France, but “liver sausage” does not appear on this list.

      "Liver" forgot that the Trans-Saharan gas pipeline is only being thought of being built, exists on paper, and it will go through places where "Liver" is not listed.
      Trans-Saharan gas pipeline (it has not even been implemented and, given the situation in Niger, will most likely be postponed).

      And where are the guarantees that Europe will not demand political concessions for these economic projects: that there be a loyal government that would take loyal steps in relation to Western companies and in relation to the political, ideological and even climate agendas that Europe will dictate.
      So if we are in the shoes of Niger, Nigeria and Algeria, we need to look at these projects with caution.

      Everyone is running around with the idea of ​​a trans-Saharan gas pipeline. Only the Sahel is crammed with paramilitary groups that, to put it mildly, do not like Europeans and are in conflict with local regimes. So, in addition to being expensive, this project will be unstable and constantly problematic. Well, that's their business. If we don’t all burn up in the fire of nuclear Armageddon, then in the medium term (10-15 years) Europe will return to our energy resources and raw materials for industrial chemicals. Economically this is inevitable.

        It is not clear how it rose if it is in a recession. Annual GDP growth -0,3%. We hope that there will be no decline next year. Last year in Germany 200 billion were missing. Expected inflation 6,5%, unemployment 5,5%. Inflation and falling domestic consumer demand put pressure on GDP

        Numbers are an interesting thing. Germany, for example, has a 0,3% drop in GDP this year, while the budget in relation to GDP has decreased from 55% to 49%, and at the same time the budget has been in deficit for the third year in a row. That is, external debt will increase, and GDP will also fall. Their external debt is 66% of GDP. The currency also seems to be insignificant, but it is falling and amounts to 295 billion dollars.
        At the same time, Russia has a debt to GDP of 17%, the size of the budget is only 18% of GDP, and only this year it will be executed with a deficit of 2%, previously it was always executed with a surplus and the unspent money went to the formation of reserves. But at the same time, GDP growth is expected to be the same 2%. At the same time, Russia still has enough reserves - $573 billion, which is $60 billion less than in 2021. Considering that about 300 billion are “frozen,” the remaining would be enough for another 9 years without budget cuts. But given that the situation has stabilized, it can be assumed that the consumption of reserves will decrease

      So Nigeria has been on the market for a long time, selling hydrocarbons to any buyers. Come and buy - free market. The only thing Scholz can interest them in is, for example, the construction of an LNG plant, the construction of new wells and pipelines from production sites to processing sites. And all this is at the expense of Germany, since the Nigerians are far from crazy and will not adhere to “free” prices on the Western European market. They need gesheft from long-term predicted price tags.

      So why laugh at Scholz so much?
      He, Scholz, is trying to provide his country with the most necessary things.
      He is German. Just like those Germans and migrants whose chancellor he is.
      He could have brought order to his country, but he already kicked out the Americans and the English with a filthy broom.
      And now they are rushing between Pshek’s foolishness, our can-repetitions and state-English civilizations.
      And Paris is still considered the most immoral.
