Chinese Are Now Opening Small Shops In Nigeria by Nextjs(op): 10:22pm On Sep 04
Chineses now opening shops in Nigeria

Won't this have a negative effect on small scale businesses and throw ordinary Nigerians off self employment?

I heard They hawk phones, electric gadgets etc

China Town
China village
China market
China stores
China farm
China mall

What's the government saying on this?


This should not be allowed to continue.

They can come set up factories, employ Nigerians to work.

Not come here set up shop to start selling things.


We are already suffering from high unemployment

I think what you're suggesting is what south Africans were initially complaining about before they resorted to xenophobic attacks

Carry that your xenophobic brain and rest. I work for a Chinese farm. We don’t sell anything we produce to the Nigerian public. Only the Chinese. We don’t farm local produce so as not to obstruct the local market.

Sinomart too just opened in Ibadan. Their prices too are even a little bit higher than local stores.

I really dont see anything bad in it at all. The sky is wide enough for all birds to fly you know
Re: Chinese Are Now Opening Small Shops In Nigeria by adamkkk: 7:21am On Sep 05
So Nigerians are not different from those Xenophobic South Africans after all.

Be hating on someone for hustling hard, while u want to sit in Ur AC shop waiting .
Re: Chinese Are Now Opening Small Shops In Nigeria by Dzzzz: 7:23am On Sep 05
But you can travel abroad to open business in their country but they can't here!!!..Una dey craze..
Re: Chinese Are Now Opening Small Shops In Nigeria by Saturnalia(m): 7:37am On Sep 05
Look at all their comments calling on the FG. The same FG they always deride & curse.

You go into their own Country and everywhere else to ply your trades (both legal & illegal) but are now on the FG to ban these Chinese.

Now imagine the Chinese now saying Nigerians are envious of them because Nigerian Men are lazy? Was that not the same narrative they were pushing about the Xenophobia in South Afrika?

I have never seen a people so predictable, unpatriotic and villainous like the people from the SE. just look their comments above, there’s no single Yoruba or Hausa/Fulani on that list. Only them everywhere with their bad belle & sheer wickedness.

What you cannot condone from the Chinese, you’re rubbing it in the faces of the South Afrikans and the Ghanaians and any other Country that have curtailed your excesses, and you expect us to take you seriously?

I thank God that the Chinese are not selling narcotics to Nigerians.

The is one of the major reasons why we insist that non of them must be accommodated into Aso Rock whether through the ballots or junta.
Re: Chinese Are Now Opening Small Shops In Nigeria by dominique(mod): 7:51am On Sep 05
Don't our people open small businesses in their country as well? Should the Chinese chase them away?

Nigeria operates a free market and a capitalist economy so everyone is free to open a business here.

Those shops will employ Nigerians too.

You will see people condemning south Africans but supporting Nigerians who don't want china shops and markets....most Nigerians are hypocrites by nature.

VERY SOON YOU WILL BEGIN TO HEAR CHINESE ARE TEKING OUR WIMEN AND OUR JABSS GO BECK TO YA KUNTRI
Re: Chinese Are Now Opening Small Shops In Nigeria by RandDigital: 8:03am On Sep 05
😂😂😂 watching from South Africa 🇿🇦👀Chai! See the wailing. The shoe is now on the other foot.

Zimbabwe, Tanzania and all those others crying of xeno also have recent laws restricting foreigners engaging in small business, but they want a free for all in SA.

Ghana that was complaining about Nigerian shops also hauled SA to the AU for same matter.

Now the developers of Africa are starting to wail about Chinese shops 😂😂😂. Oh the irony and hypocrisy!
Re: Chinese Are Now Opening Small Shops In Nigeria by RealLordZeus(m): 8:03am On Sep 05
As long as it is legal, they can open on my street
Re: Chinese Are Now Opening Small Shops In Nigeria by Corrections: 8:03am On Sep 05
Nigerians too will soon start screaming like South Africans did especially if these Chinese don’t have the legal papers to open small shops in Nigeria.


Reality...
Re: Chinese Are Now Opening Small Shops In Nigeria by KIPPASA: 8:04am On Sep 05
The best thing is for our Nigerian business people to imitate the Chinese(learn their style) immediately, rather than embracing fear of business takeover.

Re: Chinese Are Now Opening Small Shops In Nigeria by Basic123: 8:07am On Sep 05
Is this not supposed to be a good newshuh??


But if its a news of business closing you will start lambasting Tinunu.

Business is opening and you are begging the same Tinubu to come and help you to chase them.

God is really patient sha!
Re: Chinese Are Now Opening Small Shops In Nigeria by edogu(m): 8:07am On Sep 05
I don't mind provided they are paying taxes and engaging some of our people. To those attacking them, what then is different with what South Africans are doing?

Same there are doing to Islam. Everything about them is hypocrisy and Bias
Re: Chinese Are Now Opening Small Shops In Nigeria by cyberbro:
Some people are comparing Nigeria to SA because of these concerns but I dont think the comparison makes sense cos Chinese people aren't Africans, they are Asians, with a far bigger advantage when it comes to manufacturing and distribution since most things are produced in China.

In Nigeria, there are Nigeriens, Chadians, Malians, Cameroonians, Ghanaians doing the same business as Nigerians, nobody complained about them and the only time Nigeria chased Ghanaians out of our country (1983), was only because they chased Nigerians away first in 1969. Chinese are totally different and Nigerians are also restricted from doing certain jobs in China, that's just it.

So never compare Nigeria to South Africa! We have always loved our fellow Africans! There is no country in Africa that's more Pan-African than Naija! We're the pride of the continent and the reason they respect Africans abroad!

Compete with them.
You people don milk Nigerians too much.
I've been patronising Chinese stores in Lagos for over 3 year, you'll get better quality, direct after sales service and warranty. How could you go and import substandard materials for your country man in China? If I have goods that I can't find the Tokunbo, and no Chinese stores for it, I jejely buy from Al!bab.a.
Most of the people complaining in the screenshot has the same identity.

Most Nigerians and stupidity

Is this not what South Africans were complaining about ?

The last time I checked there are many Chinese that have naturalized, so they are Nigerians. As a matter of fact , some of them are born in Nigeria.


What's wrong if Chinese set up small shops (! retail shop) ? What does the constitution say?

As far as I am concerned, they can , if they meet the requirements.

You must be a labourer with the way you write 😂.
No sane or intelligent person will write like that.

Do you even understand the post at all?

That your Chinese masters don't do it means others don't?

Re: Chinese Are Now Opening Small Shops In Nigeria by Chucks13: 8:11am On Sep 05
I understand your point but we can't act South Africa.

We are not lazy so it won't be easy for Chiness to dominate that is what I can say.

By the time Naija factors start manifesting dem go rest but we can't be damn stew-pid like South Africa.

Laughing grin. You want our govt to stop them from opening small shops when you Nigerians are selling your businesses and assets to raise tens of millions of naira to japa, thinking that Nigerian economy is dead and you can't make it here. What we failed to see, foreigners are taking advantage of it.
