Isn't the Chinese business community in Nigeria like ripping us off? I mean they get to dunp those awful ersatz "clothes" in Nigeria, imitation hair extensions, pay our casual employees peanuts, swindle our naive government employees and indulge in corporate espionage. a Nigerian entrepreneur or businessperson won't get away with any of this in The People's Republic Of China. Think about it.

@gblaze very solid point. Our govt puts up with the crap because we need foreign investment so badly. You know the little peanuts they pay is better than nothing at all, atleast they are providing small employment for the masses. But you are right, our govt puts up with their crap and it shouldn't  |

No, this is business! China offers a large market for Africa, too. It is up to us to grab hold of this opportnity instead of lamenting endlessly as ever!

If they get kicked out, we suffer because we need them whether we care to admit it or not.
They make things so easily accessible for us. The poorest of Nigerians can afford to go to the shops and get and china imitated clothes and shoes that he would normally not be able to buy. We all use their phones, shoes, watches and what nots because the European ones are way out of reach for us. And we are not prepared to produce affordable articles of good quality.
For the people who have the vision and the brains that could move the country forward, the government pays no attention and they are forced to seek other governments who would welcome them with open arms, educate them for free and provide them with jobs once they qualify. Why would they think of coming back home to come and suffer? If you were in their shoes would you?
The guy who invented the hypercube (Worlds fastest computer), Philip Emeagwali was a Nigerian. He could have done all that work here if he had the resources but he rather went to the US and worked for 15 years without pay and came up with a suggestion to link 65,536 processors together to create the fastest computer. This guys work was not accredited, IBM stole his idea as they announced that they had linked the exact same number of processors to create what they had dubbed the 'The blue gene computer'. Yet with everything, that guy is still in the US, no credit but He's happy, trying to do what he can for Africa, giving speeches and talks and this and that. But will he ever return to settle in Nigeria? So that he can be subject to robbery at the mercy of youths who the government will not do anthing about to get them off the streets and to paying a fortune for things he would normally be entitled to inthe US? I don't think so
So please let the Chinese people stay jare until we can sort ourselves out.
