Afam4eva: These Nigerians, as much as i believe they have the right to make their grievances known as it relates to the death of their fellow country man in Goa, i don't think it's right for them to go about destroying government infrastructure. This is something they can't even try in Nigeria because they'll be shot at sight let alone in a country like India. I think that's the height of disrespect.

The Indian authorities should also employ due diligence in dealing with criminals and stop labeling every Nigerian in that country criminals. They should be aware that the government of Nigeria is ready to pay eye for eye and blood for blood. I think Indians benefit from Nigeria than Nigerians benefit from India, so they'll be the ones to lose. he who has an ear let him hear.

Only God knows that i can't live in a place where my kind are hated. How does one even survive in such an atmosphere.

Ile-Ife:


Local politicians and police men are already rallying the folks. check youtube, the anti Nigeria sentiment is at a all time high.

Afam4eva:
This is similar to what Jews are doing to blacks in Israel.

Ile-Ife:


Really? blacks attack Jews, barricade busy roads, attack police officers and rubbish the body of their dead friend on the street to demand justice?

Why are nigerians in india?

I dont get it.

What are they doing there?

Desola: Wise Nigerians better take up Togolese or beninoise citizenship while it's still easy to do so now. Because the way I see it, the Nigerian image can never ever be redeemed.

HERE’S YOUR 10-POINT CHEAT-SHEET TO THIS BIG STORY:
1. "The row between India and Nigeria was created by the mistakes of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)," Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar told NDTV. "The Nigerian attache sent offensive text messages to the superintendent of police. Why didn't the attache come to Goa through the MEA?" Mr Parrikar asked.(Watch)

2. Nigerian consular official Jacob Nwadadia had warned on Monday that thousands of Indians in his country will be "thrown out on the streets" if the police doesn't stop evicting Nigerians from their homes in Goa, where the government is trying to locate and deport foreigners without valid visas.

3. Nigeria's ambassador in India, Ndubuisi Vitus Amaku, has said, "The Nigerian people as a whole feel insulted and offended... I need evidence from you and from others that you are also concerned about the safety of Nigerians.

4. Nigeria has formally written to the Indian government expressing concern over the security of its citizens, and a drive by the Goa government's drive to deport its citizens.

5. "The MEA got in touch with Goa's chief secretary who assured us of a report in 48 hours. Our acting High Commissioner in Abuja went to the Nigerian foreign office and explained the situation as we see it," Syed Akbaruddin, Spokesperson, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said.

6. On Wednesday, provocative and racist banners stating "Say no to Nigerian, Say no to Drugs" came up in Mapusa town with locals singling out Nigerians and saying they will not rent homes to them.

7. Mr Parrikar has denied any racism and said that people were responding to a perception. "There is this feeling because more Nigerians have been arrested for indulging in the narcotics trade."

8. Michael Lobo, an MLA from the ruling party, said, "98% Nigerians, African nationals in Goa are involved in drugs... they come to Goa on false pretext of tourism, studies." His party colleague and a minister in the state government, Dayanand Mandrekar, in fact, said that "Nigerians are like a 'cancer'.(Read: Nigerians are like cancer, says Goa minister)

9. Goa police had on Wednesday arrested a Goan youth - Surendra Pal - in connection with the killing of the Nigerian national which sparked the protests

10. Obodo Uzoma Simeon was killed on October 31. The murder is being investigated by the state police's special investigation squad.

Slizbeat: After watching the video posted on YouTube, I see that the Nigerians were right for demanding justice but were wrong the way they went about it.

Again, I really wouldn't blame them for what they did cos of how Nigeria is and how Nigeria will react about it with our government nonchalant attitude over the death of any of her nationals outside the shores of Nigeria.

Similar thing happened sometime ago in this same Goa where a Nigerian National was killed and everything was swept under the carpet by the Goan police.

Even for Woolwich where a Yoruba man butchered a cop in day light, the Yorubas were spared, because they know the mad boy action is an isolated case. But why are your people been the one killed everywhere. Everyone has problem with them. Hausas, Yoruba, even among yourself...and everywhere you go in the world.
