Ha o bu ya si Afrika bia obodo onyibo?

This is violation of fundamental human right of eating. Nobody is saying they should not arrest but they should have allowed those guys to savour their fufu or at least told them to pack it in a "take away" to be eating at the station!
Do these "oyibos" think they have food at all?

Amsterdam would pass as second Kumasi—with several Ghanaians having made the place their first home because of the high standard of living and countless economic opportunities the capital of Netherlands presents.

Of course with such great opportunities and order come the laws which make the country attractive; and everyone living in Netherlands, even if from the Amazon forest or Tuobodom must abide by the laws of the land.

But Ghanaians love their fufu and light soup and though the Dutch do not really have a problem with Ghanaians eating their local dishes, the cooking/preparation must all be done within the laws of the land.

The people of Netherlands are extensive liberal and that explains why for many years, places like Bijlmer Arena with a huge Ghanaian population, literally and metaphorically constantly filled with the aroma of ‘Prekese’ still has several whites living there.

In spite of the liberal mindset and the immeasurable hospitality of the Dutch, they do not joke with their nuisance laws—the reason why Holland is peaceful, clean and orderly.

For two Ghanaians living at Bijlmer Arena in Amsterdam, the Neat Fufu which almost every Ghanaian abroad have to eat in place of the actual pounded fufu Ghanaians enjoy back home is not enough—to be frank, it does not taste and feel like the real fufu.

So after many years of struggling to eat Neat Fufu and their Prekese soup, the satisfaction kept depreciating and the hanker for the real pounded fufu kept growing.

Therefore, during their recent visit to Ghana, they managed to bring fufu Mortar and Pestle via KLM to Amsterdam—and around 10pm last week after they returned from work, they started their fufu pounding in their flat on the 7th floor.

According to police sources, about 15 neighbours who were being disturbed by the heavy pounding kept calling to report the nuisance.

Eventually when the police stormed the apartment, the two had finished pounding their fufu and were settled, ready to eat.

They were arrested for nuisance—a warning was not enough, because these same couple had already been warned 3 times, 2 for playing loud Amakye Dede songs at night—and the other, for unnecessary car beeping when they drive pass their friends.

During the arrest, ScrewLife.Com is told the couple begged the police to allow them to at least finish eating their fufu and Prekese soup, with crabs swimming all over in the soup.

But the police refused because they did not have time to wait around. The two will soon appear before a judge with a short prison sentence and fine hanging around their necks.

Though this is just a satirical article, in reality the couple deserve being arrested for insisting on being a nuisance after being warned severally. There's a reason [b]fufu flour is sold in almost all European cities. [/b]

Obedience is better than sacrifice,what was profit of such effort if only to end aup at the station without even a taste of that delicacy as it were. God help us


My fellow nairalanders. There's a very big lesson in this story from Netherlands. Let's picture it this way;assuming the Ghanaians represent human being,that law represents the commands of God and the police represent the angels of God. Please can someone see what I see here in this scenario?

They still have to pound the flour!

Anyway, they should have bought some "Foam material" and created a sort of "impact-dampening" couch (or just throw the Mortar on their couch) such that when they pound, the sound is muffled!


But since they have been warned over noise (music and beeping of car horn). l think these ones are the generally noisy Africans you dont want to have as a neighbour!
