China's Racism in Kenya

The Focus on China-Africa Cooperation Summit held recently in Beijing may have died down. But the impact of decisions made there have elicited a rigorous debate on China’s role in Africa.

Chinese officials say their foreign aid to Africa has seen the construction of 6, 000kilometers of railroad and 5000km of highways, but all these development marvels have come at a cost to Africas independence.

When a video of a Chinese man ,using deragotory and racist words towards Kenyans including the president surfaced a few months ago, Kenyans went ballistic online. There was finally proof of the many allegations of racism experienced by Kenyans in the hands of Chinese employers and supervisors.

Countless Kenyans came forward with their stories and experiences of disgusting racist treatment especially at their places of work. The Chinese investors that the government let into the country in a bid to create jobs and opportunities for the many unemployed citizens came with a lot more than just jobs.

Workers in Nairobi swap stories of racism and discrimination they have witnessed. One described watching a Chinese manager slap her Kenyan colleague, who was also a woman, for a minor mistake. Other Kenyan workers explained how their office bathrooms were separated by race: one for Chinese employees, the other for Kenyans. Yet another Kenyan worker described how a Chinese manager directed his Kenyan employees to unclog a urinal of cigarette butts, even though only Chinese employees dared smoke inside.


What stood out the most were stories of Kenyan employees at the Chinese built Standard Gauge Railway, a project that promised countless job opportunities as well as learning experiences to many. At the inauguration of the project, two Kenyan women operated the train as the cameras clicked away and everyone clapped in jubilation. The celebration was not to be long-lived.

Several things came to light a bit later. Kenyan engineers have been prevented from driving the trains except in front of cameras. In interviews with The New York Times, several current and former locomotive drivers agreed that only Chinese drivers got to operate the train, describing a range of racist behavior. “‘With uniforms on, you won’t look like monkeys anymore,’” Fred Ndubi, 24, recalled his Chinese supervisors saying. Two other workers with him offered the same account.

Richard Ochieng', the Kenyan man who recorded the viral racist video of the Chinese man, in an interview with New York Times, brought to light more issues. The realities of his salesman job did not even slightly match the expectations. The pay was a fraction of what was initially offered, and subject to deduction for a long list of infractions. “No laughing,” was one of the injunctions printed in the company rules. Each minute of lateness — sometimes unavoidable given Nairobi’s notorious traffic — came with a steep fine. An employee who was 15 minutes late might be docked five or six hours’ pay, he said.

His new boss, a Chinese man his own age, also started calling him a monkey. It happened when the two were on a sales trip and spotted a troop of baboons on the roadside.

“‘Your brothers,’” his boss exclaimed, urging Richard to share some bananas with the primates. And it happened again, with his boss referring to all Kenyans as primates.
Humiliated and outraged, Richard decided to record his boss’s rants. The rest unfolded online with the Chinese man being deported by the country's authorities.

The cases that have come to light recently are just but growing branches of a tree long grown. Sometime in 2015, a Chinese restaurant with a controversial policy of barring black Kenyans after 5pm was shut down by the Nairobi city council.

Having only known about racial discrimination from history classes and foreign news, episodes involving discriminatory behavior by the region’s growing Chinese work force have unsettled many Kenyans. Concerns about racism and discrimination are a growing part of the conversation about China’s expanding presence in Kenya and will continue to be especially with the government endeavoring to forge closer ties with the economic giant from the East.

How Nigeria Loses $70m to Illegal Fishing by Chinese Vessels

The Nigeria Navy has disclosed that the country loses as much as $70milion annually to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU), activities of some Chinese Fishing vessels in the maritime domain.

These Chinese vessels usually come as close as four nautical miles to the coast, which is illegal, thus depriving local fishermen of the resources. This was disclosed when a delegation from the German Armed Forces General Staff College visited the Western Naval Command (WNC) headquarters in Lagos, recently.

According to the WNC Flag Officer Commanding (FOC), Rear Admiral Sylvanus Abbah, the perpetrators usually come as close as four nautical miles to the coast.

He said such acts are not allowed, further adding that by so doing, they deprive local fishermen of the resources they ought to accrue to them.
Although Abbah said there was significant reduction in unregulated fishing, he noted that this was because a lot of vessels had been arrested for IUU and handed over to relevant authorities.

He said: “The command went to work and started arresting vessels without fishing license. Any vessel that does not respond to our fishing codes or without authorised licenses are apprehended and handed over to the appropriate authorities for prosecution.

“Even those with licenses are also arrested if they are found to be acting against the terms of their licenses in line with the Harmonised Standard Operating Procedures of arrests and prosecution of vessels and persons in Nigeria’s maritime domain.”

On measures put in place to ameliorate the effects of piracy, he said Lagos waters were relatively safe as the command recorded only case of piracy, which they recorded a break through by rescuing the victims and arresting the Pirates.

“To ameliorate the effects of piracy, we have put together a safe anchorage area in a general axis on Lagos waters and we have deployed vessels to protect them. “If others can buy into this method, it will go a long way to fight piracy and ensure protection of our vessels”, he stressed.
Meanwhile, the Defence Attach, Colonel Thomas Brillisauer said that plans had been concluded for Germany to donate five Epenal Boats to the Nigerian Navy (NN).

He said the boats, which were built at the Naval Shipyard Limited in Port Harcourt, would be handed over to the NN in a few weeks time to aid the service’s fight against oil theft and other maritime crimes. According to him, Germany was open to donate more boats as its assistance to the NN to boost its presence within the Niger Delta and the Lake Chad regions, adding that Epenal Boats were chosen because the navy already had similar ones in its fleet and understood its functionality.

Labour Unions protest in Lagos over minimum wage

Minimum Wage: You lied, NLC, TUC, NULGE tells Ngige, Nigerian Governors Forum

The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has given the Federal Government up to November 6, 2018, to meet their demands for workers’ pay raise or face an indefinite strike by the workers.

The leaders of the labour unions who are leading protest marches in different parts of the country insisted that the government must approve the 30,000 naira minimum wage and nothing less.

In Lagos, the protest caused a gridlock stretching from the Ojuelegba axis of Ikorodu road to Freedom Park in Ojota, Lagos state causing motorists to move slowly behind them.

In Imo State, the workers trooped out to sensitize the public on their demand for 30,000 naira minimum wage.

Also in Taraba, the Labour Union staged a sensitisation rally calling on the Federal Government to meet its demand of 30,000 minimum wage or face an indefinite strike action.

The workers said the sensitisation became necessary as the labour union has remained calm and adopted dialogue with the government since the expiration of the minimum wage review in 2016.

French President Macron want to reduce Africa's population

The Nigerian Armed Forces are allowed to use deadly force only to protect their life. The use of deadly force does NOT necessarily mean you are shooting at someone, it may mean merely pointing a gun at them. If you are displaying a firearm to merely create apprehension that you will use deadly force IF NECESSARY, that display by itself is not the use of deadly force. The Nigerian Armed Forces should use tear gas first; the use of deadly force should be only to protect their life and not to kill unarmed people
