Two days ago, a young man who goes by the name Aminu G Idris claimed that a Chinese Supermarket in Abuja denied Nigerians entry. Today Mohammad Jamu took it upon himself to investigate the case. Here is what he has to say with photos:


"Today I became a journalist!! how I saw the news trending about a certain Chinese Shop at Gwarinpa that refuses Nigerians access posted by Aminu G Idris and copied by Aishat Aishat Alubankudi immediately an investigative spirit took over me,
as I approach Gwarinpa I was filled with excitement of seeing a shop in Nigeria that denies Nigerians entry, at the gate I saw a writing that clearly took me aback and instantly quenched my anger, it was an advice to costumers from the shop owners after being attacked by armed robbers a couple of days ago and they were merely taking precautions so they advise only an individual at a time not group of persons out of fear and tremor of what they experienced in the past, poor them being foreigners in another mans land. They were friendly on entering the shop and to my surprise other Nigerians were trickling to see for themselves too. My advise to those celebrating the story please verify contents before posting to the social media your action alone can destroy someone's Business in Islam we call it (Shaidar Zuhr ) Bearing false witness and Allah has prescribed severe punishment for those who thrive in it"

Good, why haven't the bill on social media been passed anyway? It will save a whole lot of us some stress!

Thanks for the clarification.

The shop even looks pathetic inside of it. It looks like a forgotten corner store. Their sign is so... I can't believe anybody would not type their notices(colse, sice,tank).

Why are Nigerians dying to have an old Chinese baba put their stuff in a plastic? I mean, you guys are so offended when you should be happy they didn't let you in. Customer service looks low.

And why is the "investigator" putting up religious punishments? Like anyone cares about that.

They won't even make gains if they sell to only their nationals.

How many Chinese nationals are in Abuja?!

And I thought nairaland always verify news before they forward it to front page.

Has that person been banned cos its also an offense under section 8 of the nairaland constitution

Nice job OP. The Chinese people won't forget this your investigation which will now clarify alot of things.

Good

Nigerians and propaganda sha! And some people where ere yesterday cursing and almost killing themselves on a false unverified news. Unemployment everywhere!

Addicted2Women:
Stupid bloggers can write anything just to get traffic to their site.

You dey mind them? My blood don hot finish

Like someone said in the first post maybe the person no dress well


I knew it could not be possible. Or else they will carry that shop on their head and go back to China

The person who post about it was just looking to tarnish their good reputations.

Thank you op for clarifying things..I always knew lot of false story end up in the front page of nairaland

kontinu

Thanks for your good work....

possible the initial guys (Aminu Idris)complain has reached them

So nice of you man but I still dislike Asians though. Their racism is so annoying.

God will reward you op

I been think say na restaurant self

how are we so sure the chinese ppl didnt pay u for dis?.....well,bloggers can lie too and asians,esp. Those residing at illupeju are highly discriminatory in theirs deeds

Thanks!

Op, tnks for ur investigation which opened our eyes... Datz hw sm1's bizness and goodwill would av been tainted

After all the ranting yesterday,the truth is finally here

And what kinda supemarket is this?

.... Two hates do not make one love!

The only reason why u see any chinese in Nigeria is to make money nd Nigerians are known to be heavy spenders.
Won't it be foolishness to shut out Nigerians from your supermarkets?
Btw, how many chinese are even in Abuja to make large sales volume.
That was why i didn't believe the story in the first place.

Seen.....

Dem wannabe bloggers, cooking up stories from nowhere, before it was don't believe everything you read on blogs and social sites, but now DONT BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU READ ON BLOGS, SOCIAL SITES AND EVEN NEWSPAPERS

After the news went viral they anticipated the turnout, that's why they put up that notice.

Did the initial reporter go with people?
Why was he turned down?

Nice one @OP

I dnt just bliv any news I see.. Only those from credible sources

Investigative journalism!

OP if this is the super market that guy was talking about then really I'm disappointed. Please before you leave there look around to know if you'll see a better Chinese supermarket.... You might have mistaken this for another.
Because trust me, I now think I over estimate Nigerians ability to make good judgements..... How can someone be so bitter about this and to cap it all...... IN ABUJA OF ALL PLACES

Uurrrgghhhh
