Answer Details
The term "comprador bourgeoisie" has been used by scholars to describe Nigerian businessmen who represent foreign interests. The term originally comes from the Chinese context, where it was used to describe a class of merchants who acted as intermediaries between the colonial powers and the Chinese economy. In the Nigerian context, it refers to a similar class of businessmen who act as intermediaries between foreign investors and the Nigerian economy. These businessmen are often accused of being more loyal to their foreign patrons than to the Nigerian people, and of working to further the interests of foreign investors at the expense of the Nigerian economy.
