Nigeria Shuts Down Chinese Supermarket Over Alleged Racism | Firstpost America

Nigeria Shuts Down Chinese Supermarket Over Alleged Racism | Firstpost America
A Chinese-owned supermarket in Nigeria's capital Abuja has been shut by the authorities over allegations that it denied entry to African shoppers. The supermarket in Abuja allegedly only permitted people of “Chinese descent” to enter its premises. The supermarket is located in a building that is run by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. The closure of the supermarket came after massive outrage among Nigerians after some locals shared experiences of being denied entry into the store for not being Chinese. The Chinese store has now been closed until the owner testifies to the Nigerian consumer watchdog. China has been notorious for its racism against Africans, with reports suggesting that racism against Africans on Chinese social media was at an all-time high.

Let me be blunt, because you don't have the talent and 🧠 power to build something useful on your own , you always need some European or some Chinese or some Indian or Korean company or government to help you increase your level of standard. Half the African countries are fighting over stupid tribal wars, while other half is corrupt just like the leaders of Africa. The least Africans do is to not have too many children,in order to not make future generations to suffer, they don't even do that. Name one invention that came out of sub Saharan Africa in last 1000 years
