Opinion II - Obinna Onyekwena: The #cleanenergy transition brings heavy human costs & new forms of dependency for #Africa. A country like #Nigeria must be pragmatic, use #naturalgas to drive #industrialization and avoid colonial technology dependency. development-today.com/archiv…...
Development Today retweeted
Onyekwena: “The pursuit of a ‘green’ lifestyle in the Global North is enabled by outsourcing the environmental degradation and #humanrights abuses to the Global South.” It is a transition from one set of externalities to another.

This extractivism swaps #oil #geopolitics for mineral vulnerabilities dominated by #China. 80% of renewable energy patents are held by Northern firms, trapping nations in low-value roles without control of innovation or production, Onyekwena argues. development-today.com/archiv…

#Africa must charter a sovereign, cost-effective #energy path reflecting its needs. “The true emergency is development stagnation. The global #EnergyTransition must be reframed, as a pragmatic journey toward sustainable prosperity for all,” he writes.

Onyekwena argues #Africa cannot afford to be caught in a transition model designed to solve Europe’s insecurities or underwrite Western tech empires. Calls for #energy strategies rooted in developmental realism, technological pluralism, and global equity.development-today.com/archiv…

Op-ed: #Africa must recognise that #EnergyTransition models exported from Europe and the US are shaped by their strategic interests and carry double standards. “We must deconstruct the narratives being sold to us,” writes @obinnaonyekwena.

@gavi has done good things. Like @GlobalFund, it has also done something terrible: fostering LMICs' dependence on donors (govts & private sector potentates) ==> the #GlobalHealth policy equivalent of encouraging ruinous addiction. Need Sunset Strategy. @FCDOGovUK @gatesfoundation

An orderly transition to a low-emission global economy is in the interest of Norway’s USD 1.8 trillion oil fund , Norwegian Finance Ministry says. But it will not interfere in the fund’s ban on direct #renewable investments in developing countries.
