[size=20pt]Anger brews over diplomat's arrest as New Delhi plans tit-for-tat measures against US [/size] It was about 4pm on Tuesday when cranes and policemen moved into Nyay Marg. Their objective was to remove the concrete barriers that seal the street off from the public, effectively creating an open-air corridor between the visa section and staff quarters of the giant US embassy in the Capital's diplomatic enclave. The removal of the barriers - a diplomatic privilege accorded by the host nation - put India on a course of confrontation with the US. No other embassy in the capital has enjoyed such a privilege; the Indian mission in the US certainly doesn't get such courtesies. India on Tuesday cracked the whip, bracing itself for a tit-for-tat approach on what many are calling the "bully" behaviour of the US in arresting and strip-searching senior Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade in New York last week. It was more than just Nyay Marg. Four Notes Verbales were sent to the US embassy in New Delhi, telling them of the steps being taken. State governments were told that all diplomatic cards would have to be surrendered by December 19. Officials have been told to ensure that no import proposals or quotas of liquor and food are cleared. In New Delhi, the embassy has been asked to furnish all tax returns and details of salary paid to employees, both foreign and local, and income tax authorities will be asked to scrutinise the returns. The airport passes of diplomats are being withdrawn. This is an unprecedented clampdown. The government is working on three broad points: to review the immunity of US diplomats, restrict their access to official meetings and top officials, and curb any preferred treatment that the diplomats have so far enjoyed as a strategic partner of India. [size=16pt]Outrage[/size] The government's response was clearly shaped by the growing outrage, with Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi and BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi refusing to meet a visiting bipartisan US congressional delegation in protest. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi were briefed through the day on the issue. The government has assured Devyani's father that it will do all it can to bring her back. President Pranab Mukherjee expressed serious concern at the situation, spending most of his meeting with India's US ambassador designate S. Jaishankar on the treatment the Dalit officer has received in the US. Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde, a Dalit, ensured swift action with the Delhi Police moving swiftly to remove the barricades. National Security Advisor Shivshankar Menon, a strong supporter of close ties with the US, called Devyani's treatment "barbaric", and Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh reviewed the situation with senior officials where a number of stern measures were discussed. Sources say that Plan A is to take immediate measures on restricting diplomatic privileges available to US diplomats in India. Washington will be persuaded through diplomatic channels to let Devyani travel back to India. "Either they drop the charges or she is expelled from the US. We are fine with either, but the bottom-line is that she has to be sent back to India soon," a senior official told Mail Today. If the US persists with its present course of action, Plan B may kick in. This will involve prohibiting the spouses of US diplomats and their kin working in India, besides intense scrutiny of staffers at the United States Information Service or American Centres in India, as well as screening of staffers working with the American school. Such is the sense of outrage that tit-for-tat treatment of a US consular official is also being considered, top officials privy to the discussions told Mail Today. A town hall meeting of IFS officers at South Block saw Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh being told by the officers present that US must be taught a lesson. |
http://zeenews.india.com/news/nation/india-accuses-us-of-fraud-says-devyani-khobragade-trapped-in-conspiracy_897798.html New Delhi: The diplomatic row over the arrest of a senior Indian diplomat in New York showed no signs of abating with India on Wednesday accusing the US of a "fraud" and alleging that the diplomat had been trapped in a "conspiracy". Even as the outrage over the arrest of Deputy Consul General Devyani Khobragade continued with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh making his first comments describing as "deplorable" the way the diplomat was treated, she has been transferred to the Indian Mission to the UN to give her fuller diplomatic immunity. In his first statement in Parliament on the issue, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said that she was the victim of a "conspiracy" and that some people had "trapped" Khobragade, who was put through both strip and cavity searches, procedures normally used for criminals. Also Read: Devyani Khobragade case - As it happened on Wednesday... Narrating the sequence of events that began in June-July this year, Khurshid said the maid servant disappeared and a case was lodged with New York Police Department but no action was taken. |
Indian diplomat arrested in New York for paying housekeeper $3-an-hour is transferred to UN to give her immunity as she reveals details of humiliating cavity search that sparked international furor Indian A diplomatic row flared up after Devyani Khobragade (pictured left and right), India's deputy consul general in New York, was allegedly forced to undergo a cavity search following her arrest on accusations that she submitted false visa paperwork for an Indian housekeeper whom she allegedly kept as a 'virtual slave' and paid just $3 per hour. She has now been transferred to her country's Permanent Mission to the United Nations - ensuring her complete immunity from US prosecution. Indians reacted with fury, protesting in New Delhi and Hyderabad (center) where a middle-class, educated woman would never be treated in such a way by the police and the fear of public humiliation resonates strongly. Indian authorities have now threatened to downgrade privileges for American diplomats in their country and have demanded information about how much they pay their Indian household staff.

'Madiba, we are now burying you': Nelson Mandela is laid to rest in his childhood home after four hour service and full tribal burial rites including guests drinking blood of slaughtered ox South Africa's first black president is laid to rest at his ancestral home in Qunu on tenth day of national mourning Thousands lined the streets to watch his funeral cortège as it made its way to the tiny hamlet in Eastern Cape The anti-apartheid icon died at his Johannesburg home on December 5 at the age of 95 after long battle with illness The South African flag draped on his coffin was handed to his widow Graca before body was lowered into the ground His Xhosa tribe will have slaughtered ox and offered guests blood - although dignitaries probably offered cooked meat Mourners included Prince Charles, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson and Idris Elber Current president Jacob Zuma said Mandela was 'a fountain of wisdom, a pillar of strength and a beacon of hope' 'Today marks the end of extraordinary journey that began 95 years ago, the long walk to freedom has ended', he said Nandi Mandela said: 'Go well, Madiba. Go well to the land of our ancestors, you have run your race' Funeral overruns by 105 minutes, meaning the tribal tradition that members are buried at noon was missed Seats were filled during the state funeral service as soldiers were moved in to occupy empty chairs . https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/15/article-2523695-1A1E7FE200000578-519_964x545.jpg Nelson Mandela has today been buried in the remote village where the anti-apartheid icon grew up after his four-hour state funeral this morning. South Africa's first black President died in his Johannesburg home on December 5, at the age of 95 after a long battle with illness and he was laid to rest in his grave in Qunu in Eastern Cape province. Troops lined the route up to the hillside as Mandela was carried on a gun carriage to the private burial on his family’s estate. As his body was placed on the grave the South African flag on the coffin was removed and handed to Mandela's widow Graca Machel, who was comforted by his ex-wife Winnie Mandela. A fly-past then followed accompanied by a 21-gun salute and a solitary trumpeter played the Last Post while his body was lowered into the ground. As he was buried armed forces Chaplain General Monwabisi Jamangile said: 'Yours was truly a long walk to freedom, and now you have achieved the ultimate freedom, in the bosom of your maker.' His funeral was also marked by his Xhosa tribe whose elders will have slaughtered an ox to accompany his spirit after burial, while guests would be asked to drink its blood from a communal bowl. But it is understood dignitaries such as Prince Charles were probably offered the animal's meat to eat instead after it was cooked on an open fire. Mandela's family also talked to him until he was lowered into the earth and will have said 'Madiba, we are now burying you,' a tradition followed so the souls of the dead know where they are going. open link belowfor more pictures http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2523695/Military-honor-guard-escorts-Nelson-Mandelas-cask |
Niraland should change its name to Bearer Of Bad New Land, the forum is so depressing. I have not experience any other country in the world that does this, broadcast or wash their dirty limning in public like Niraland. Niraland has also become very crude with fowl language and allowing pictures of naked women and men all over the forum. Without any regards that young children may be using this website. Another thing is your tribalism, do you think visitor here give a hoot about which tribe you all belong. As far as they are concerned, you are all Nigerian, what ever negative connotation put on Nigeria worldwide also reflex on you the people. Do you all say South African from a specific tribe is racist, no you say the South Africans, the Kenyans, and the Ugandans without giving a thought to which tribe is doing what. Just like in the West, they will refer to you all, as The Africans are foolish, The Africans are meek, and the Africans are Non Productive. Also, all over the World Wide Web you will see videos and articles of Nigerians in all sort of compromising position. You will rarely see this of any other country because they are vigilant and understand the power of imagery. Makes me question, how can Nigerians be so foolish unless it is not Nigerians doing these threads, videos and its outsiders (non-Nigerians) who are trying to destroy the country’s image Back to topic, It also appears that most people who frequent this site live in caves and are unaware of the outside world the way the elaborate on a topic for example this topic, Street children. Oh my god!!! Street children in Nigeria!!!! What a horrible country!!!!. This is creating unnecessary drama, and makes you all look stupid and unintelligent. Street children are all over the world even in very rich countries, so nothing new here. It is best to question, are these really Nigerians children begging, if they are, why are they on the street begging. Where families, friends, neighbours are and what solution can be applied to help such children, not this over dramatic ho, ho you all create. So instead of creating drama about a situation like this spend some time walking the walk instead of doing the talk. |
Why are Nigerians leaving India's Goa state? A local bike rental association has also stopped renting to Nigerians in "protest" at last month's blockade of the highway by some 60 West Africans, mostly Nigerians, and their alleged "high-handedness with the police". "I've got nothing against them, and you can't have a blanket ban. But they really are a nuisance, because some of them are in the drug trade," said a local businessman in Parra who did not want to be named. Jose Pacheco, a young man in the village, says: "One of the Nigerians was harassing my sister, who noted down his bike number and we had to trace it down and warn him. When there's a bike accident, even before we can call our friends to the scene, they are there in larger number. Being physically bigger, they tend to intimidate us." Nigerian officials say such attitudes amount to little more than discrimination. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-24903230 |

Goa fallout: Indians in Nigeria, watch out Villages in Goa have started a racist campaign against Nigerians, a lawmaker in Nigeria's House of Representatives said, according to a report in a leading Nigerian newspaper Thursday. The statement, made a day ago, comes even as the lower house of the Nigerian Parliament resolved to mandate its committees on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora to probe the Nigerian's murder and "illegal incarceration of 53 others" in Goan prisons, The Nigerian Tribune said. The resolution warned of a backlash against Indians in Nigeria. The Tribune also said that lawmaker Yusuf Ayo Tajudeen came down heavily on Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar for issuing a "a directive to the police to commence clampdown and possible deportation of Nigerians". The resolution, passed unanimously in the 360-member house, according to the newspaper, was moved by Tajudeen and titled "Gruesome murder of a Nigerian and illegal incarceration of 53 Nigerians in India". A Nigerian mob had smashed a police vehicle, assaulted policemen and blocked a national highway Oct 31. They were protesting the murder of their compatriot by a drug mafia and demanding the presence of a consular official at the postmortem. In response, the Goa government enforced a crackdown on all foreigners, sparking a diplomatic row, after a Nigerian consul accused the state police of harassment of Nigerians. Two villages namely Parra and Siolim have passed resolutions banning Nigerians students and Nigerians from hiring rooms in their village jurisdictions.

Should Nigeria Learn from India: Locals beat Nigerian in Goa, no complaint yet Locals beat Nigerian in Goa, no complaint yet Monday, Nov 18, 2013, 15:30 IST | Place: Panaji | Agency: IANS A Nigerian was beaten up by locals for allegedly intimidating a woman after an accident Saturday in Goa's party hotspot, Candolim. But no complaint has been registered yet, a police spokesperson said here Monday. Eye-witnesses said the Nigerian was driving a scooter in the coastal beach village of Candolim, 15 km from here, when it collided with another two-wheeler being driven by a woman. While the two were engaged in a verbal spat, several locals arrived on the spot and beat up the Nigerian national. Police spokesperson John Aguair confirmed the incident, but said no record was available with the police as no complaint had filed in this regard. "It happened after a motor vehicle accident. There was commotion. But no complaint was registered from either side," Aguair told IANS. The incident comes at a time when relations between Nigerians living in Goa and local residents and the state police machinery are at their worst, after a public conflict last month. The murder of the Nigerian and alleged police apathy had resulted in the Nigerians blocking a major highway and publicly intimidating the police. At the gay end of the protest, one Nigerian was severely beaten up by the locals who went on a rampage. A police crackdown on Nigerians had also caused a diplomatic tussle between Nigeria and India. http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-locals-beat-nigerian-in-goa-no-complaint-yet-1921070 |
Of Regional Integration And The Nigerian Economy November 18, 2013 Douglas Imaralu Business, Strategies & Solutions Regional Integration Share via email Share VENTURES AFRICA – Nigeria’s star is rising on the African continent. The country rules African entertainment with Nollywood movies and its musical exports. According to industry analysts, the country’s film industry, Nollywood is worth about $200 million a year in revenues, making it the third-largest movie industry in the world after Hollywood and India’s Bollywood. Experts predict that it will soon become Africa’s largest economy, overtaking South Africa. ‘If confirmed, the 40 percent upward revision would bring Nigeria’s GDP to about $370 billion, just shy of South Africa’s output ($391 billion forecast for 2012), with the country subsequently becoming the largest economy in Africa within a year or two,” Samir Gadio, an Emerging Markets Strategist at Standard Bank, said concerning the Nigeria’s forthcoming GDP rebasing exercise. However, Razia Khan, Head of Africa Research at Standard Chartered, says, “Latest IMF data puts Nigeria’s GDP in current USD as $273 billion in 2012. South Africa’s (projected) 2012 GDP in US dollars is estimated at $420 billion. With rebasing, Nigeria’s economy comes closer to catching up. It becomes a $382 billion economy roughly and only 10 percent smaller than South Africa.” But the country is not doing ”enough” business in Africa, thus, missing an opportunity to capitalize and to benefit from Africa’s fast-growing consumer markets. According to Nigeria’s Finance Ministry, the country depends on oil exports for more than 80 percent of revenue and 95 percent of export income. However, some argue that other revenue streams are beginning to take shape, with investment in telecoms, e-commerce, and more recently, agriculture being recorded. The country continues to do more business with countries in Europe, Asia and America, as revealed by the Visa Africa Integration Index, which pegs the depth component of its global integration at 26.1 against 9.6 regionally. In February this year, British Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria, Peter Carter said that trade relations between Nigeria and UK will hit $12.2 billion by 2014, with most coming from oil. While in April, Canada and Nigeria agreed to partner and explore various areas – crude oil export, raw materials and jobs exportation – to boost trade volume to about $6 billion. Meanwhile, trade between Nigeria and China is pegged at over $13 billion annually. With its Economic Community of West Africa (ECOWAS) neighbour, Ghana, evidence of investment can been seen in the country’s banking sector, with Nigeria’s Zenith Bank, Access Bank, First Bank, GTBank and United Bank for Africa owning stakes or subsidiaries in the country. Nigeria also has its imprints on the Ghanaian entertainment scene, with Nollywood movies and musicians raking in revenue from sales and tours, albeit informally and largely unaccounted for. The rest is petty retail trading – dogged by the shenanigans of border crossing. “We [both countries] just don’t do business,” says a Ghanaian business journalist. Although Nigerian businessmen like Alhaji Aliko Dangote, who has cement interests in 13 African countries, and Michael Adenuga, whose telecommunications company, Globacom claims significant market share in Benin Republic and Ghana, have made huge investments on the continent, Nigeria itself has overlooked the benefits of economic integration, as its growing market matures and modernizes, and the movement of goods and services, capital, information and people increases? The Visa Africa Integration Index rates Nigeria below average in economic integration, with a 40.6 score. “Whilst representing an improvement from a modest base, the country has undergone positive transformation over the past decade.” However, trade and investments volumes in countries in sub-Saharan Africa, which boast the highest rate of return on investment of any region in the world, still lag. Further afield in Uganda, Nigerian businesses have made significant investment in the financial sector, including a 51 percent stake in National Insurance Company (NIC) by IGI, a former state enterprise that is listed on the country’s stock exchange. Other investments include a UBA subsidiary and IGI’s 49 percent stake in Global Trust Bank (GTB). Nic itself owns 60 percent of GTB. There appears to be nothing else outside these financial sector investments, except the famous Nollywood imprint. Shops in Kampala, Uganda’s capital sell Nigerian movies but are is the revenue generated accounted for? However, Uganda provides a strategic doorway to Eastern Africa, an emerging economic bloc that also includes Kenya, one of Africa’s largest markets. Elsewhere in Zimbabwe, southern Africa, Nigerians are mostly engaged in small-scale retail and the sale of Nollywood films – some pirated – on the streets. Partly, this may be due to Zimbabwe’s nationalistic outlook, and the distance between the two countries. South Africa significantly engages Zimbabwe along several channels of trade, drawing from integration policies of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) while Nigeria continues to overlook the benefits it can derive from greater integration with ECOWAS member states. Recognizing the benefits of greater integration amongst African countries, Chief Strategy Officer of the Ethiopia Commodities Exchange, Abenet Bekele, recently outlined one of the aims of the ECX as sharing research and information with other African countries even as it strives to become “a global commodity market by choice”. According to a Business Standard report, India’s export service was valued at $146 billion in 2012-2013. To this end, perhaps, Nigeria, which has a relatively huge amount of educated middle-class, needs to borrow from the India’s export services model, providing skilled manpower to other African countries. Nigeria’s over-concentration on oil has seen other pillars of commerce wane. And it has “struggled to advance industrial complexity,” says Prof. Adrian Saville, Chief Investment Officer, Cannon Asset Managers. “75.0 percent of Nigeria’s exports in 2010 were made up of crude oil and 4.7 percent of refined petroleum, whilst 18.0 percent of imports in 2010 were made up of refined petroleum and another 1.0 percent were made up of petroleum coke and petroleum jelly,” he furthers. According to him, “economic complexity is demonstrated by Nigeria increasingly refining and processing crude exports into more complex products – such as refined petroleum or petroleum jelly to replace imports with domestic production and, in a fuller state of economic development, start to sell refined products into export markets.” However Africa’s largest crude producer has the opportunity to turn its single story deficiency into an advantage by taking its capital and skills to the newly emerging oil producers in Africa. http://www.ventures-africa.com/2013/11/of-regional-integration-and-the-nigerian-economy/ |
If nothing else, as the world merges into one - globalizes - and people rush to learn Chinese, English, French and German, we should note that everybody is bringing something to the globalization table. It's a 'bring your own beer' kind of party. African cannot afford to go to that party without anything. Because then it will be a confirmation to the cynics who insist that we have nothing to offer, while we actually do. Indians speak as much English as we do in Nigeria and English is their official language as well as Hindi, but they have their Sanskrit, which will also confound the English people and show the world that they have history. Ditto the Chinese and Arabs (who are learning and speaking as much English today). Indeed, the challenge for us here in Africa, is that we must be ready to be multi-lingual. As noted by one Mr Kwesi Boateng, Dr Wumi Akintide and that jolly crazy dude, Rudolf Okonkwo, on a Radio Show on SaharaReporters recently, the policy of mono-lingualism (which tends to emphasise the superiority of certain languages over others - in this case English over 'vernacular' - or one local language over another because of some certain tribal origin), is bankrupt. With over a thousand languages in Africa, all Africans should indeed be multi-lingual. Therein lies the secret to the much-talked-about unity! The opposite is the continuation of our confusion... |

[size=14pt]Nigerians have no reason to feel discriminated against in India by Priyadarshi Dutta 08 Nov 2013 [/size]http://www.niticentral.com/2013/11/08/nigerians-have-no-reason-to-feel-discriminated-in-india-155694.html So because Nigerians are murdered in these countries, Nigerians should also be murdered in India is it? it is as if she is suggesting that as Indians are humiliated and killed in other countries where they are resented, Nigerians should be are at liberty do the same to Indians. Question: Russians and other Nationals are said to be the head of drug trade in Goa India. Are the Indians treating them the same as Nigerians. Have they put up banners saying "no to Russians no to drugs etc"? According to the writer, the Nigerian diplomat said that Nigeria will get rid of Indians in Nigeria just like Idi Amin did in Uganda, which tells me she and other Indians are harboring deep hatred for Africans, what does idi Amin has to do with Nigeria. |
[/size]Nigerians in India not allowed to start small businesses: Envoy[size=12pt] By Biswajit Choudhury Despite their bilateral relations being at the level of a strategic partnership, problems related to the Nigerian community in India are a dampener to India's relations with its largest trading partner in Africa. Nigerians are not allowed to start businesses in India even though Indians runs restaurants and shops all over Nigeria, says the country's high commissioner. "Indian immigration is not being too helpful in terms of arrivals of Nigerians in India. We facilitate Indians going to Nigeria," Amaku complained. "All over Nigeria, there are Indian restaurants and shops. But here, Nigerians are not allowed to start businesses. The regulations here are too stringent even for petty businesses," the high commissioner told IANS in an interview. Amaku also pointed out that though Nigerian banks operate in many parts of the world, they haven't been able to establish a foothold in India. "Nigerian's living here are even unable to open an account, so how can they start a business," Amaku asked, saying he regularly receives complaints from his compatriots living in India. The Nigerian community in India, spread over cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai and Jaipur is estimated to be around 10,000 strong. However, the actual numbers registered with the high commission are much lower and this partly explains the plight of Nigerians in India. Most of them are unable to start even small businesses like barber's or food shops because of local laws. Many Nigerians in India end up overstaying their visas and unable to pay the penalty, fall into the clutches of the law or become easy prey for criminals. The Nigerian High Commission had brought this problem to the notice of the delegation of Nigeria's House of Representatives Committee on Diaspora which visited here last year. The visiting members of parliament were informed that more than 500 Nigerians were in various jails across India, while most Nigerians resident in India lacked special skills that could enable them to compete with local skilled manpower. India has a larger, law-abiding Nigerian community, some of whose retailing success stories here can be effective counters to its negative public image in India, the envoy said. The All-India Nigerian Students and Community Association, a non-official arm of the Nigerian embassy, helps members of the community living in India by liaising with local police. Official figures show that nearly 40,000 Nigerians obtained Indian visas during 2012. Students coming to India for higher education make up a significant percentage - around 20 percent - of Nigerians in India. Following Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to Nigeria in 2007, bilateral relations were upgraded to the highest level of a strategic partnership, including defence cooperation, under which Nigerian military personnel are able to train in India's defence establishments. On the plane of bilateral economic ties, the high commissioner underlined that the level of engagement between both countries is currently not commensurate with "worth and size of the relationship". Despite Nigeria becoming India's largest trading partner and oil supplier from Africa, with bilateral trade reaching volumes of $16-17 billion per year, there are still no direct air services between the two countries. A lesser known fact elsewhere is that Indian films are quite popular in Kano, Kaduna and other northern states of Nigeria and local channels regularly telecast Indian films. India will help set up a film city in Kano state of the west African country, whose booming movie industry will be celebrating its 20th anniversary next month.

[size=14pt][/size]indian Police and their fellow Citizens are Killing Nigerians[size=14pt][/size] This Is A Breaking News And Am Writing This To My Fellow Nigerians Back In Nigeria With Tears To Let The Nigeria Government Know That All Nigerians In India Are Planning To Destroy Nigeria Embassy In New Delhi India. I also want to use this opportunity to inform my fellow Nigerians that Indian Police and their fellow Citizens are Killing Nigerians and dumping them in Train Station almost every month. Two Days back, A Nigeria was killed by India police and dumped in Train Station in Mumbai City India and Nigeria Embassy in New Delhi India is doing nothing about that. Police always visit Nigerians in their house harassing them and making away with the valued properties and cash with a note that they will kill them if they talk and Nigeria Government will not do anything or come for their Help. In 2008 during the Terrorist Attack in Three 7 Star Hotels and Railway Station in Mumbai city India. It was flash on TV as a Breaking News that Nigerian Drug Dealer are shooting guns in Mumbai and after they noticed that it was a terrorist attack by Pakistan Terrorist and Nigeria Government and our Embassy did not do anything about it. Two weeks ago a group of Police went to all Nigerians houses living in Kalina, Mumbai City India and carry more then 28 people to Police Station and after release them with the help of other Nigerians as we stationed ourselves in police station and the police people make it clearly that they did not found anything in those Nigeria guys houses….. But it was a surprise to read on News Paper the following day that 38 Nigerians was arrested with drug and charge to court and we reported the matter to our Embassy, but they did not do anything about the allegation and bad name leveled against Nigeria and her Citizens in India. Two days ago, A Group of police man told 5 Nigerians that they did not want to see Nigerians or Black people in India again and their citizen and police will continue to kill Nigerians here in India until we leave their country and Nigeria Government will not do anything to them. India People have refused to give Nigerians a house to live because their police warn them not to give house to Nigerians and they always send our people packing out of their house within 24 hours without thinking of where the person would take his property to or spend a night because they don’t give our people time or days to get another place to live or take their property too Meanwhile, Thousand of Indians are living in Nigeria Comfortably and Nigeria people and some Landlord are serving and respecting them and renting a good house out to them…… but here they refuse to give Nigerians a house, shop or even allow them to have freedom to walk around here in India and do their businesses. India Police have close all Nigeria Restaurant and Shops In Mumbai City and asking them to leave India and go back to Nigeria………… India Citizens always beat Nigerians on the road calling them all kind of names and whenever Nigeria report the matter to police, The police will tell the Nigeria person that those guys are Indians and they have right to beat Nigerians and they can’t do anything to their citizen because of a Nigeria man. Therefore, i use this opportunity to call on my fellow Nigeria back Home to know what Indians are doing to their fellow Nigerians in India and also advise you guys to know how to handle Indians in Nigeria and pay them back because without teaching the India citizen in Nigeria a lesso. The police and their citizens here in India will continue killing Nigerians here in India without fear knowing that Nigeria Government will not do anything to them. 90% of Nigerians here has a valid visa, but police did not care neither their fellow citizens and they refuse to rent us a house and always asking us to go back to Nigeria or face death. Nigeria is a failed country and did not care for their citizen outside Nigeria. All Nigeria Embassies and their Ambassadors in Asian Countries and some part of European Countries are not doing their Jobs. INDIANS ARE WICKED AND HEARTLESS AND THEY HATE NIGERIANS AND THEY KILLED NIGERIANS EVERY MONTH OR WEEKS HERE AND OUR EMBASSY AND GOVERNMENT IS NOT DOING ANYTHING REGARDS TO THAT AND THAT IS THE REASON AM CALLING ON MY FELLOW NIGERIA TO KNOW HOW TO HANDLE INDIANS IN NIGERIA AND PAY THEM BACK WHAT THEY DESERVE AS WICKED AND HATED PEOPLE. http://www.arisenigeria.org/politics/581-indian-police-and-their-fellow-citizens-are-killing-nigerians |
[size=17pt]Would take at least 100 of our policemen to handle crowd of 50 huge and aggressive Nigerians: Manohar Parrikar[/size] https://static.dnaindia.com/images/cache/1917292.jpg Fresh television footage telecast by a cable news channel showed Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar taunting media persons, asking if they could take on a Nigerian one-to-one. The footage, telecast Sunday, came at a time when Goa's politicians as well as sections of civil society are being criticised for shades of racism in their response to a public clash involving Nigerians and local residents. "Can you handle a Nigerian one to one? Someone make sure he is covered by insurance," Parrikar was shown telling reporters on the sidelines of a press conference following the clash involving an angry Nigerian mob on one side and the police and the residents on the other. The footage was telecast on Prudent Media, a cable news channel on its show 'Just imagine', which takes a satirical view of the week's events. A Nigerian mob smashed a police vehicle, assaulted policemen and even snatched their sticks while blocking a national highway Oct 31. They were protesting the murder of their compatriot by the drug mafia and demanding the presence of a consular official at the post mortem. Subsequently, one Nigerian was brutally beaten up by residents in full view of the police. Earlier Parrikar, while justifying the inability of the police to handle the violence had blamed the sheer physicality of the Nigerians. "They are huge and aggressive. Some of them are seven feet tall. It would take at least 100 of our policemen to handle a crowd of 50 Nigerians," Parrikar told reporters. Other BJP legislators have also levelled serious accusations against Nigerians. Shortly after the violence Subhash Phaldesai, BJP MLA from Sanguem, described Nigerians as "wild animals" pumped up with drugs. Art and culture minister Dayanand Mandrekar likened them to cancer, before apologising for his comment. An English language newspaper went to the extent of using the word 'Nigro' while referring to Nigerians while quoting a police officer in its report. The newspaper, however, later apologised. Two village councils have already resolved to stop house owners from renting rooms to Nigerians within their jurisdiction, even as Nigeria diplomats claimed that their nationals were being targeted and even threatened that Nigeria could respond by throwing Indians living in the African country on the streets. expats and Goaphiles like Victoria Miller from Britain says she feels "very sad, angry and disappointed" with some of the responses to the incident. "I cannot believe the racist, derogatory and disgusting views that some people are expressing and, yes, it has made me question my relationship with Goa where I have spent most of the last seven years," she says. Meanwhile, two persons suspected of having murdered the Nigerian Obado Simeon have been arrested by the state police which has said that the killing was a result of rivalry between narcotics gangs. |
Are Indians in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt under close watch because Nigerians in Mumbai India are under close watch. Nigerians in the Mumbai are under close watch Home > India > Report Nigerians in the Mumbai are under close watch Tuesday, Nov 12, 2013, 10:09 IST | Place: Mumbai | Agency: DNA The Mumbai police have set their sights on Nigerians living illegally in the city. Anticipating trouble in Mumbai following the tension involving Nigerians in Goa, the police plan to take strict action against those from Nigeria who are overstaying here and indulging in drug peddling. There are around 25,000 Nigerians living in Mumbai and on the outskirts of the city. The special branch, an intelligence wing of the Mumbai police, believes that more Nigerians will take shelter in Mumbai after the ruckus in Goa. The police also fear that they will start ruling the narcotics market in the city, creating a problem for the authorities. Already, most of the drug consignments in Mumbai are brought and sold by Nigerians. The police said certain areas like Colaba, Dongri, Pydhonie, Kalina, Mira Road and Navi Mumbai have a significant number of Nigerians. Many Nigerians have married girls from the city to get permanent residency. “Wherever there are drug buyers, the Nigerians are around,” said a senior police officer. A source said some Nigerians even tear their passports to avoid getting caught. This ensures there is no evidence to prove how long they were supposed to stay in India. In Pydhonie, the police raided 17 guesthouses where Nigerians were living illegally. “Since the past year, we carried out 10 combing operations and detained hundreds of Nigerians who were staying illegally. Many were later arrested and then sent back to their country,” said Nisar Tamboli, deputy commissioner of police, zone-II. Those who managed to flee have settled in other areas. All police stations in the western suburbs have been told to keep an eye on Nigerians. A senior police officer said they will use sniffer dogs to track down Nigerians in the city and those dealing in drugs. Regular combing operations will be carried out. Apart from this, the police will check the passports and visas of Nigerians regularly and take strict action against those flouting the rules. The slow and steady infiltration of Nigerians in Mumbai is also turning out to be a problem for businessmen in the city who are directly affected by their dealings in their areas. http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-nigerians-in-the-mumbai-are-under-close-watch-1917722 |
Text message circulating among the Indian community in Nigeria "Dear Friends, It has been observed that Nigerian Police Officials and Immigration Teams have visited various Indian Origin Businesses throughout today and claimed to have making these Interrogation as retaliation for the Fellow Nigerian murder Incident in Goa, India, unlike their routine checks.

Anti-African Racism in India “A group of youngsters thrashed a Congolese student to within an inch of his life in a posh Delhi mall while other shoppers looked on.” Three other Tanzanian students died in Bangalore in the three months prior to Imran’s murder.” The latest horror story concerning African students made headlines briefly in January when 24-year-old Burundian student Yannick Nihangaza emerged from a nine-month coma after being savagely attacked by a gang of Punjabi youth in Jalandhar. Yannick was an IT student at the incongruously named “Lovely University,” which incidentally has one of the biggest foreign student intakes in the country. A passing auto rickshaw driver took the unconscious Yannick to hospital, where he remained on life support for weeks. Despite numerous complaints from his friends and family, and even two letters from Yannick’s father to the Punjab chief minister, there was no action from either the police or the state machinery until the national media took up the story three months later. http://blackagendareport.com/content/anti-african-racism-india |
India among world's most racist countries, says survey Researchers have suggested that societies where more people do not want neighbours from other races can be considered less racially tolerant. The country with the highest proportion of 'intolerant' people who wanted neighbours similar to them was Hong Kong, where 71.8 per cent of the population would refuse to live next to someone of a different race. Next were Bangladesh on 71.7 per cent, Jordan on 51.4 per cent and India with 43.5 per cent.

Racism in India against Black people Dr. Diepiriye Kuku-Siemons did his PhD in Dehli School of Economic. he wrote an article to Colombo telegraph about his experience of racism in India that it was titled 'India Is Racist, And Happy About It' Once I stood gazing at the giraffes at the Lucknow Zoo only to turn and see 50-odd families gawking at me rather than the exhibit. Parents abruptly withdrew infants that inquisitively wandered towards me. I felt like an exotic African creature-cum-spectacle, stirring fear and awe. Even my attempts to beguile the public through simple greetings or smiles are often not reciprocated. Instead, the look of wonder swells as if this were all part of the act and we were all playing our parts. Dr. Diepiriye Kuku-Siemons Dr. Diepiriye Kuku-Siemons Discrimination in Delhi surpasses the denial of courtesy. I have been denied visas, apartments, entrance to discos, attentiveness, kindness and the benefit of doubt. Further, the lack of neighbourliness exceeds what locals describe as normal for a capital already known for its coldness. My partner is white and I am black, facts of which the Indian public reminds us daily. Bank associates have denied me a chair, while falling over to please my white friend. Mall shop attendants have denied me attentiveness, while mobbing my partner. Who knows what else is more quietly denied? "An African has come," a guard announced over the intercom as I showed up. Whites are afforded the luxury of their own names, but this careful attention to my presence was not new. ATM guards stand and salute my white friend, while one guard actually asked me why I had come to the bank machine as if I might have said that I was taking over his shift. http://mycontinent.co/Racism.php |
Indian arrogance Ganesh Madhvachariar (chennai) 07 Nov, 2013 09:24 AM Nigerians are worldwide known for identity theft and fraud. In addiiton, some select Nigerans flaunt their wealth nastily in Dubai like places walking with one tonne of scent on them and kilos of gold on their neck. Being Muslims, Dubai tolerates them. Nigerians likewise buy properties in UK and behave nasty in many places In Tirupur, Tamilnadu, Nigerians come and disturb the peace there Many Nigerians are known drug peddlers in Goa. Huge hulk and frame scares even police India's pro-Puslim policy cannot interfere with enforcing law and order If Nigeraians retaliate and kick the Indians out of Nigeria and the billionaire Gujaratis flee, then Nigeria will fall flat on its economy http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2013-11-07/news/43776448_1_nigerian-diplomat-indians-racism |
So Nigerian society now relies on India for its survival according to Rational 2013 comments. Without India businesses Nigeria has no chance of surviving. This is the arrogance of some Indians. Rational 2013 sly R.I.P Nigeria too, we would like to watch what happens to the Nigerian economy once Indians,(Business run by Indians) are expelled and what about the oil contracts with India. Loosing a big customer is not rational taking into account the billions Nigeria will earn from them not to mention the cheap AIDS drugs India provides. Could you in your racial and illogical streak detail us the contribution Nigerians have towards the India economy via Indians contribution to the Nigerian economy. Rational 2013 • 6 days ago Expel Indians from Nigeria hmmm, then no affordable AIDS medicines not to mention the oil they sell to India. And what is the contribution of the Indian emigrant population to Nigerian economy via Nigerian emigrant population economic contribution to India other then the a rampant drug culture. http://www.firstpost.com/world/nigeria-likely-to-throw-out-indians-after-goas-crackdown-on-africans-1209919.html |
South African creative in their music? Truth be told, South African is taking care of its own. Its about time Nigeria do the same and stop being played like a fool. |
Sagamite: Even barber lasan (ordinarily), Nigerians can't do well.In your own words you avoid Nigerian barber because they are useless and go to Jamo barber. But what about other African barbers, Ghanians, Ivorian etc are they also useless? You are a very funny African indeed. |
Why Do Black African Racial Stereotypes Persist in India? African-Indian bonhomie was all the rage in India's media last week, amid celebratory coverage of homegrown telecom company Airtel's $10.7 billion acquisition of Kuwaiti company Zain's African operations and TV images of Indian visitors blowing vuvuzelas at soccer's World Cup in South Africa. Amid all the backslapping, however, an African student in India who runs a news and current-affairs website from the city of Bhopal accused companies like Coca-Cola of airing racist commercials on Indian TV that portrayed Africans as primitive savages. "Indian marketers have a field day in putting 'blacks' where they've always 'belonged,' at least in the average Indian mind-sets," wrote S.K.Y. Banji, a Ugandan who has lived in India for more than four years and runs the Reign Times. His comments were endorsed by fellow Africans who posted on the site, sharing their own experiences of racism in India, and soon Banji's concerns were being aired in segments of the mainstream media. Yet there was hardly any public outcry, and none of the companies have issued apologies. (See why racist attitudes are so ingrained.) One of the commercials in question, for Coca-Cola's Sprite — which a Coca-Cola spokesperson says was received "very positively" by a test audience in India — shows two young Indian men captured by savages in an African jungle. While one of them tries to win over the captors by doing a silly jig, the other simply offers them Sprite. "There is nothing offensive in this ad," says Martha Wariithi, a Kenyan by birth who is the director of knowledge and insights for Coca-Cola's India and South West Asia unit. "It's lighthearted ... It fits very well for the positioning for Sprite in the market." (What's racist? The importance of a glance.) The Indian lemon drink LMN, produced by the Parle Agro corporation, has a blatantly racist subtext in its TV spot that shows two Africans digging in the sand for water. When they spot a tap nearby, they wrench it off and start using it as a shovel. Parle Agro would not comment to TIME on the commercial. (Comment on this story.) Another spot, for BP's Castrol engine oil, shows two young Indian men being magically transported from place to place: a beach, a lion-infested jungle — and a cauldron being carried by smiling African cannibals. BP has not responded to TIME's queries despite indicating it would do so. Read more: http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1997936,0... |
