This's pure case of racism just using Nigeria as an excuse. If you probe more into this allegation you'll discover the shop had no encounter with Nigerians. Oprah Winfrey was also denied access to a £54,000 hand bag some years ago in Switzerland because the salesgirl thought she couldn't afford it being a black woman. Europe have serious racial problems.

They are very stupid. I guess Eto is from Nigeria and I guess they don't have a verification machine that verifies credit cards. These Oyibo people after destroying Africa and stealing from us thinks they can be insulting Africans. Bloody racists. Well, no matter how they insult Africans, their women still love us.

Some Nigerians are out to spoile what is left of our already battered name all the time, some people are only out to seek for who to defraud or steal from in the name of making money..

Same, almost exact thing happened to me and my brother.

My oldest brother, on the way to the US decided to stop over in London to see my Sister and also asked me to come over to his hotel in London to see him too.

I was a student then in Germany. I boarded a cheap flight to London immediately.

After my brother picked me up we headed straight to Oxford center as he wanted to buy some suits for his trip and a ladies pant suit for his wife.

Being a guy with an insanely high taste, we entered a shop which looked quite exquisite. I felt really uncomfortable being there as I would normally have nothing to do in such expensive shops (I am already used to the Peek & Cloppenburgs and C&As, being a student then) but knowing my bro, he wouldn't go anywhere less.

Anyway, long story short, the shop we entered was teeming with high class looking Arabs and Whites but I and my Bro were the only blacks there and to make matters worse, he was putting on only a T-shirt, Jean short and Sneaks while every body there was in suit or trench coats and Emirates Arab attires.

A particular white lady kept stylishly following us. After a while, I asked my bro if he has noticed the woman following us and he replied in the affirmative without taking a glance.

After we picked all that we wanted with bills running into 3600 pounds, we arrived the counter to pay and that is where the drama started.

My bro pulled a Visa credit card issued in Nigeria by then Citibank and the lady at the counter flatly refused it without even swiping it.

My brother insisted, even though he had another foreign credit card. They refused and I got aggravated and wanted to raise my voice but my bro told me to chill while smiling.

Next they started asking for my brother's ID and he asked them for what and they replied for security purpose and he refused.

While this was happening, two hefty security guys were already perching next to us with the female manager appearing to call the police.

Seeing that the situation was getting tense, I asked my bro to drop the damn goods and let's leave but at that time, he reached for his Rucksack and brought out what I suspected to be 5000 pounds bundle and paid for the clothes. They counted it with the machine and crossed checked it's authenticity more than thrice before accepting it.


Then they suddenly changed to all smiles and started to try apologising for the embarrassment but my brother sternly asked them to kindly pack up his goods and let us leave.

That single experience made me to despise that country England and everything it stands for. Some of the most rętarded people I have ever come across.

Worse of all, their whole damned country looks like Lagos, complete rubbish but their ego and prejudice are out of this world.

Our Nigerian brother's have messed things up over here. Just the other I was trying to my flight to Nigeria, on British Airway ' s website, when I got to payment stage, the site gave me an error message. I tried again, got same message, I had to call BA to make the booking on the phone. Guess what? The lady said to me that they don't book flights to Nigeria online or on the phone, that I have to come to their office for face-to- face booking. According to her, Nigeria is one of the high risk blah blah countries, so the booking has to be in person.....I just vex book Arik.
I don't blame them really, our brothers must have taught them bitter lessons through fake credit cards.

If you're not a football fan Samuel Eto is just another Black man... why should the sales girl know him? The sales girl is Black...some Blacks when they work with Whites forget that they are also Black and take on the same kind of prejudice. This sales girl is no different. Would she say the same to an Australian if an Australian had just tried to pass a fake credit card?...or an Irish? Eto should let the manager know who he is...and let him know he would no longer be making any purchases there. Then guess what would happen to smart Miss Card Declined?

Their women love you indeed, i now understand why the white racists always say the only thing the black man can brag about as his accomplishment in today's world his the size of his joystick.

The saleswoman who refused was also black according to what was posted! So this has nothing to do with oyinbo's - except under our LAW to ensure racism is eradicated he now has a right to sue the shop for discrimination. Perhaps you should get a progressive law like this also instead or going on about oyinbo's like many of the other racists here!

I am an Irishman and Arik will not accept online payments from us either so it is the same for Africans and Oyinbo's alike. I had to physically go to a Barclays bank in Belfast and pay cash before I could confirm my flight.

Akinwunmi Ambode is a Chartered Accountant who reached the pinnacle of his profession as a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria and zenith of his career as Permanent Secretary/Accountant General in the civil service. JK is a Pharmacist who didnt produce nor manufacture drugs but became a one shop drug retailer for over 30 years.This is what an average Igbo man without University education does and still open many outlets. Why then should we give Lagos to such a minnow against a giant in Ambode? Lagosians,vote Akinwunmi Ambode of APC as Governor,so that Lagos can continue to EXCEL.
