Nigeria immigration officials say they've arrested 45 Chinese nationals working in the a popular northern market and plan to deport them.

Kano state immigration controller Emmanuel Brasca Udo Ifeadi said Tuesday that the Chinese workers were arrested at a textile market in the city. Ifeadi described the workers as "economic scavengers" who were undercutting Nigerian sellers in the market.

Nigeria's own textile factories collapsed in the 1980s over cheap imports, many coming from China. Many Chinese now live in Nigeria, working in a variety of fields as the country partners with government on large-scale projects like rehabilitating the nation's railroad system and roadways.

We don't have enough jobs for all the unemployed Nigerian youths yet we allow chinco to leave china and come to Nigeria to work wherever they like instead of putting restrictions on them when it comes to certain job types. Shame! Anyway, they should deport them because nowadays, many countries don't waste time deporting Nigerians.

Who allows them to get into the country without the right papers anyway?

Lets hope the Chinese Government doesn't respond the same way - by deporting Nigerians.

Because that would be messy . . . .
