A Chinese supermarket located in Abuja has ignited fury among Nigerians following allegations that it systematically denies sales to local customers. Outraged citizens have taken to social media platforms to express their frustration and call for action against what they perceive as discriminatory practices.


According to a social media user who recently visited the store, local customers are consistently turned away at the entrance by security personnel. Additionally, all items within the supermarket are reportedly labeled exclusively in Chinese. Furthermore, the individual claims that receipts are printed in Chinese, and all transactions are conducted using the Chinese Yuan currency.

Reacting to the video, one social media user wrote “When the government has zero respect for its citizens, foreigners will do the same.” “Even inside our own country, foreigners dey see us finish. They’ll see us finish in their country and still come to our own country and see us finish still. Nawa for Nigerians. We know how to tolerate a lot of rubbish,” wrote another.


In 2020, operatives of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), shut down a number of Chinese restaurants and malls in Lagos after it was alleged that they refused sell food and drinks to Nigerians.


There is a large population of Chinese people in Nigeria which can include Chinese expatriates and descendants born in Nigeria with Hakka ancestry. An estimated 40,000 Chinese people live in Nigeria with about 9,000 of them working as expatriates mainly in Abuja, Lagos and Kano.

It's only in a monopoly that customers can be held to ransome.

This is really hilarious

YOU MUST BE ABSOLUTELY MAD.

HONESTLY, YOU PEOPLE ARE SICK ON THIS FORUM.

Foreigners are discriminating against you in your OWN country and this is the VOMIT you spill?

Anywhere else in the world, the people will be up in arms.

ARE YOU CURSED TO BE A SLAVE?

ARE YOU CURSED TO BE STUPID AND DUMB?

You are an utter embarrassment.

Those people saying there are other supermarkets are a bitter disappointment to their parents and the world at large. It's probably their greatgrand parents that sold their fellow tribesmen into slavery in the first place.

Your problem is you’re an unschooled ignoramus with internet access.

Bros you are wrong and stop arguing. You are better off asking the other person to prove their points with evidence rather than towing the path you chose.

Every Nigerian has the right to shop in any shop in Nigeria and they have the right to receive appropriate services that they are paying for. Understanding the contents and prices of things you buy are part of such services unless there are legal cases that confirmed otherwise.

I blame our govt. So since our people sell inflated priced goods.
The Chinese are wise enough to make life comfortable for their people even in another country.

It will shock you how things we inflate their price here are so cheap in that Chinese supermarket.

As long as it's a public, commercial entity within Nigeria, they have no right to discriminate against anyone.

hehehe
Una neva see anything o.
Soon, you will be paying rent to foreigners in your land.
Dey dia dey play tribalism while foreigners take over your land.

Why must they make such lawin your country? Can you do such in their own country? Which kind slave reasoning you dey reason sef? Na this ur reasoning make those Chinese companies in Nigeria dey treat locals like slaves .

But must you patronize foreigners?

They are helping us to patronize Nigerian markets so that our naira will appreciate.

But you would have problems.. If a Yoruba storeowner only sold to his people? If an Igbo person only sold to his people.. if A fulani owner olny sold to Fulani/Hausa.??

Nigerian and their low self esteem. See people that should be begging you to come and buy from them but unfortunately you are the ones throwing yourself at them. What I expect us to be talking about is a system that encourage periodic security check of the facility to ensure they don't use the place to carry out criminal activities like cooking our brothers and sisters for lunch or hiding guns and other dangerous weapons there.

You don see am na.
They even cry online here that igbos don't allow anyone in their civil service(which is false anyway), but it's fine if a foreign national should keep nigerians out of the market in our country

Chinese Chamber of commerce for the Chinese. That place is not far from ShopRite. I'm wondering what the 'H' you need in a boring Chinese supermarket/restaurant if not to create a social media frenzy.


I don't support restrictions for Nigerians but then what business do you have there really? It's like going to mortuary to chill and look at corpses that aren't related to you just because it's on your street and you have freedom.

Stop barking like a rabid dog you nitwit hypocrite. Is what the Chinese did more bad than Igbo lives, properties and businesses that you omoniles and your illegal terrorist government are destroying at Lagos? The Chinese owns their supermarket and they reserves the right to chose who buys from them.
