Abike Dabiri-Erewa: Chinese Don’t Want Africans In China

Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has entreated Nigerians in China to maintain to call for their proper, noting that it became clear the Chinese do now not need Africans in their country.

The former lawmaker also entreated China to appreciate the rights of Nigerians, noting that there had been many unlawful Chinese migrants in Nigeria, who are not being singled out for maltreatment by way of the Nigerian Government

She spoke for the duration of a metropolis hall meeting held via Zoom with Nigerians inside the America's on Saturday.

Among others, Dabiri-Erewa addressed questions about business, health and politics as it issues Nigerians inside the Diaspora.

While reacting to a question on what the Nigerian Government changed into doing to cope with the discrimination and maltreatment of Nigerians in China, she said, “The issue of China has been routine and I have been to the Chinese Embassy more than one times, putting into attention what has been happening to Nigerians in China.

“I will be very practical with the problem of Africans in China…what I am seeing is they don’t want Africans in China. Some businessmen are stranded there however whilst you need on your home, they don’t allow you. In China, if you don’t have a residence, you can’t get a permit.”

Dabiri-Erewa noted that talks were ongoing to address the maltreatment.

She advised Nigerians to obey the laws of the Chinese Government and strive to stay out of trouble.

She added, “It is still hard for Nigerians in China. It (maltreatment) is still happening and it must be dealt with. Right now, there's a little little bit of sanity but we don’t know how long it's going to last but there needs to be a permanent answer to the difficulty of blacks being maltreated in China.

“We need to construct a global of peace and love. There must be reciprocity: Respect me and I recognize you, deal with me well and I treat you well. They ought to call for their right and obey their legal guidelines too however the legal guidelines ought to no longer be discriminatory.
