Nigerians have reacted to a report on a Chinese Restaurant in Lagos which says it does not admit Nigerians to enter or order food.
WuzupNaija reports that the restaurant called Shi Shi is located on 21B, Emina Crescent, Off Toyin Street, Ikeja, Lagos.
Findings revealed that Nigerians and other Blacks are only allowed patronage if they are accompanied by a Chinese.
Nigerians who reacted to the report on the internet called for the closure of the restaurant and urged the government to conduct thorough investigation into its activities.
Some of the respondents said the operators of the restaurant could be involved in other shady activities which it does not want Nigerians to have knowledge of.
Frank Ike is of the opinion that:
“Something sinister may be going on inside the restaurant which they may not want it exposed. Chinese a known for their preference for human flesh. Please let’s place a closer watch on that restaurant.”
Rotayo Ogundana wrote:
“The restaurant rents a place to do biz, hires Nigerian security and prevents Nigerians from gaining access. In this our Nigeria, a foreigner found a way to make us less desired for food. I hope CPC looks into this.”
Bidemi Adelabu said:
“Chinese are sometimes very funny, poverty dirty bastards trying to prove levels because “their lives better small,” what an insult!!!”
Another respondent said:
“The Lagos state government should not allow this Chinese restaurant to be operating in the city of Lagos. The Chinese are noted for that all over the world for being too bias against non Chinese, they should take their ware somewhere else. Nonsense!”
Ekwuoma Idumute Umu-ugbede:
“I want to believe that that restaurant might just be a facade to cover up for some clandestine Chinese Mafia activities going on. Whichever way, whether it is a part of Chinese international Mafia organization – or, if they are actually segregating on Nigeria, it bodes bad however. Governor Ambode should go and investigate the place and punish the owner. Nigerians cant be handled as inferior in their country by foreigners.
“Some action should be taken right now before Lagos pass as the Nazi and Apartheid capital of this world. Governor Fashola once deported Nigerians from Lagos. Everything is now like the same narrative.”
A respondent also wrote:
“I have no doubt an illegal activity is going on there. Chinese people have no basis to be racist to Nigerians. They are not in any way superior to us (forget that our government screw us at every opportunity). A Chinese restaurant was shut down in my hood for selling dog meat and some other assorted game to “known” customers. Now they will clean up their acts till it’s blown over.”
Pat Onwusoro however said:
“If a few of us publicly and tacitly support and adore corrupt politicians and their penchant for almost always inviting the Oyibo’s into our domestic affairs for political gains or reporting or recommending our selves and government to the Chinese or EU or US for sanctions or visa denials over our affairs thereby ridiculing ourselves, why are we complaining about this incident?”

Many of these Chinese folks will not touch Nigerians with antiseptic gloves if not for our money they want to collect. Ask Nigerians working for the Chinese in any organization

If this turns out to be true, I think this restaurant should be shut immediately and the owners’ and associates’ work and residence permits be revoked permanently.

I suspect there is more to this, before they restaurant is shut down it should be investigated. WTF do we even have investigators in this country

Its a pity that such is happening In Nigeria. Will the Chinese people allow this in their own country? Nigeria Government don’t value its citizens hence, this kind of rubbish from foreigners. Their license should be revoked immediately and a thorough investigation should be done.
