lpv:translated text	". Madam President was the headline on 30 April of the weekly the President of the Council may have noticed how I am quite German-minded. Above the headline, there is a big picture of two coyly smiling Nigerian boys brandishing their ballot papers. Any comment would be superfluous. The two elections in the most populous country in April have ended in human and political disaster, with more than 200 people killed, and fraud on a large scale – things about which the present joint resolution does not mince words. Where do we go from here in Nigeria? I am very struck by a page-long article and interview with Nigeria’s current President Obasanjo, who spells out quite clearly that Nigeria’s future lies with its relationship with China. Cheap loans, infrastructure, marvellous, but the European Union is out of the game. What, I ask of the Council and the Commission, is the EU’s response to this? Do you, in light of these statements and this position, have a strategy, both tangible and intangible, for Nigeria, in fact, for the entire African continent?"@en1
