This study assessed and provides a holistic Literature review of the flow of investment and the analysis on South Africa and Morocco imports and exports. By examining the impact and projections of Africa's trade contribution to the world's development through the export and import of merchandise trade, it was realized that, Africa trading trends in the United States and the Europeans have changed currently and rather, there has been a diversification in export and import trade destination by the African continent. Africa's trading with the European Union has been switched to the Asian continent with China now the largest trading partner in Africa after the world economic crises in 2008. Secondary data from accredited sources were used for this research and five demographic, social and economic countries from the Northern, Southern, Eastern, Central and Western zones of the Africa continent were used in understudying the aim of this paper/research. The inflow of foreign direct investment into the African continent is mostly from the developed countries, international bodies, the European Union and some of the fastest developing economies on the Asian continent. However, the outflow of FDI is lower as a result of most of the countries in Africa depending heavily on the inflow of foreign direct investment as their main source of development of their economies thereby focusing less on outward investments. The results highlights South Africa, Nigeria, Botswana, Angola and Morocco to continue to be top five (5) home economies of outward FDI in Africa. Therefore, since the continuous increase in investment in Africa as proven to be of favorable conditions and the benefits investors receives from the continent and Investment attraction among other factors were noted, the need of sound investment policies among other factors to entice many investors into the continent are recommended. Index Terms-FDI, business-friendly, foreign investors, trade deficits, Africa and Ecowas.

The study assessed China- Nigeria trade relations covering a period of 29 years from 1990 to 2018. The study adopted the ex-post facto research design and obtained data for export and import transactions from the Central Bank of Nigeria statistical bulletin. The study used T-test, charts, and tables to address the engagement of China-Nigeria trade relations. The study used Microsoft excel software package and statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 20 to analysis the data. The study found that Nigeria has not gained from trade relations with China from 1990 to 2018 and it is only China that benefited from trade relations with Nigeria from 1990 to 2018. The study recommended that the Nigerian Government should re-strategise its industrial sector to enable the country to manufacture industrial goods and manufactured consumable goods as well as medical equipment to export to China. They should try to discover what type of industrial goods that China does not well produce and should re-strategise to produce it with low labour and low capital. The Chinese Government should continue to import goods to Nigeria since they are the ones benefiting from trade relations in Nigeria from 1990 to 2018. They should also encourage the Nigerian government to produce and manufacture industrial goods so that they can face a little competitive with Nigeria in the future for improvement of their products.

The term strategy and structure is said to be a result of decision making by managers through analysing the firm's performance, market, segmenting the market, selecting the market, positioning themselves and using resources to implement the process.

The population is 50 and sample size is based on purposive sampling which are 10. It is discovered that strategy and structure are interdependent variables that firms must always consider when introducing new action or plan. It was also found that there is a positive relationship between structure and strategy that determine firm's performance in terms of net profit.
