Nigerian Robbed In UK Hotel by Dhelake: 7:21am On Sep 14, 2012 |
A Nigerian has lost all his valuables at Hilton Newport Hotel room, South Wales,ionigeria.com reported on Wednesday. The victim, Tony Okwoju, said he returned to the hotel in the evening to find that his room had been allegedly breached and bolted from the inside. A member of the hotel staff had to cut the bolt before he could gain access into the room. “I lost all my valuables including my international passport, cheque book, laptop, ipad, books, manuals and cash,” Okwoju told ionigeria.com. He said beyond reporting to the police, the hotel did not do anything to help him in any way to get travel document to return to Nigeria. Okwoju said several e-mails by him and other friends that were in the group that stayed at the hotel to senior management of Hilton worldwide had been completely ignored. While also condemning the attitude of the hotel management, Neil Egbor, who also lodged at the hotel, said, “If this had happened to a Briton in a Nigerian hotel, the western media would have been awash with the story, telling everybody how risky it is to visit Nigeria.” http://www.punchng.com/news/africa/nigerian-robbed-in-uk-hotel/ |

This made news? This must be a Hilton in East London for sure. If investigations are carried out, it would not be surprising to find out A NIGERIAN CUT THE DAMN BOLT! Or one of the ashawo COUGARS without paws they carried in there for 'short-time' affairs! Sheeeeesh! Abeg comot make I read am for beta news! |

The gross insensitivity shown by the hotel management clearly smacks of racism and prejudice against a guest that has been a victim of crime. If the victim were a white European, American or a Japanese or South Korean, the same hotel management would have surely treated his plight with much more sympathy and assisted him adequately. I think Mr Okwoju and his friends should get in touch with as many Nigerian journalists and other professionals in the UK and the continental Europe as they can, and seek their assistance in giving this shameful attitude of the hotel management as much publicity as possible in the British media and blog-sphere. The hotel management must be made to pay for this betrayal and abandoning of a guest of theirs when he obviously needed their assistance most. Bleeping racists! 1 Like |

Dhelake: you were xo spot on .... This is gross insensitivity Yes, insensitivity most probably motivated by racial prejudice. As a poster pointed out, imagine if it were the other way round, i.e. if it were a white Briton that was robbed while lodging in a Nigerian hotel, and the hotel management were to treat his unfortunate plight with such shocking and callous indifference! |
