I passed this place last week Thursday and I just kept wondering what this place is and what it was meant for... Thank you very much Dera, you see why I don't miss your vlogs 😄, premium enlightenment and pure vibes...keep up the good work dear, Imela

@@dera_giselle The "Chinese inscription" you asked is 中國商城 which means "China Business City" in traditional Chinese writing. This old traditional style of writing is prevalent among Cantonese speakers in the south - including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysian Chinese, Singaporean Chinese, etc. It is different from the standard official Mandarin which is called Simplified Chinese.

@@dera_giselle Well, u made some curious pple viewing from d express road, know what that pink building, that looks like a tower is. That place is now a shadow of its self now. Mostly things sold there, especially d cloths are very inferior, but since they own d place, I don't know why they can't sell quality clothes from their country in there. Almost 90% of d quality things sold there are from d shops occupied by d Nigerians. I'll say good job, but had it been u came there in 2003 when they opened, by d time u're leaving there, ur hands will be full, and u will be exhausted with shopping, cause then, all those closed shops were filled to d brim with fairly good stuffs, clothes, good decorations e.t.c. even still have a good fancy camisole bought back then from there, not like now when there's a hardly any good clothes there. Even there were extended shops at d backs then. I feel d place is now more or less for their own abode with just few trades so it won't be them alone there.

Get them out

The long term problem is that in about 100 years from now they would claim that they are the natural indigenous people of Lagos, and then kick the local people out. This is what happened in places like Egypt and Mauretania.

[@truethots3088]

they haven't kicked American's out so therefore they cannot kick us out, we are not egypt or mauritania, they tried to misbehave once and they were totally shut down. This is Nigeria!

[@AC-yg9zf]

@@truethots3088 The difference is that Africans historically are known to be very hospitable to foreigners. This has been our strength and weakness. Other cultures have been wiery of foreigners and therefore have a warlike mindset, but for Africans that has not been the case historically as a collective.

[@joeyternaagor6457]

@@dera_giselle I have 2 views of your reply comment: (1) put one foot on the drive pedal of a car and the other foot on the break pedal and pump away with equal vigor - a lot of confusing sound will result but no motion will result. (2) Prescribe paralysis when and where forward movement or action is imperative. Which option is the worse of your 2 positions? Admitting that a law or local regulation should exist to compel signages rendered in any foreign language within the city of Lagos (and for that matter throughout Nigeria) to provide an English language version or acceptance that Nigeria is a lawless country and thus, consequently, do nothing in reaction? My advice: do something rather than do nothing. If you live in Lagos, reach out to the pertinent local government where the Chinese village is situated and urge them to act to stem and rectify this identified misnomer before it gets out of hand. A similar situation arose in Zambia and an outcry on social media led to remedial action on the part of the Chinese parties involved. If we turn a blind eye, it shouldn't surprise us if they take it as acquiescence and try something even more grotesque going forward.

I used to go here in the early 2000s when it just opened. It was Obasanjo dt allowed them in, there was a lot of FDI coming into Nigeria during those years. All the balogun market women would come here to buy stuff too. It was bustling and always busy, overflowing with Chinese stuff. Set of plates for like N200. Ridiculously cheap. After a while balogun marketers started complaining to Tinubu about it cos the competition became tough. Due to restrictions from the state govt, the Chinese market eventually moved to Kano. So it was not as active in Lagos anymore since then. All these places Ur driving through were market stalls overflowing to the main gate and outskirts selling clothes, shoes, cutlery, pots etc and all the sellers were chinese. Cars couldn't even pass dt area. Not to talk of driving inside.

Chinatown has been in Lagos for a while. It has now become a ghost of its past self. It used to be a bubbly place but not anymore. Most Nigerians stop shopping there due to the hostility and arrogance of some of the Chinco people. That is what caused the place to become like a ghost town. It is gradually coming back up but can never be like the way it used to be.

[@chidinmaugochukwu9823]

Very correct. Chinatown used to be at lomo, Ikoyi. Before they relocated to Ojota. It was a beehive of activities. They sold very beautiful and affordable jewelry. Me and my sisters used to shop there as far back year 2000.

[@blackmagic6]

The shape and style of the Chinese town complex speaks volumes about not only their arrogance but the audacity of these people. In case you missed it, they have stylised this building on that of a fortified city.... in Nigeria. The message is very clear that they don’t trust the Nigerians who live in the surrounding environment and that this castle is their territory but as they want your money, they regretfully have to allow Nigerians in …. but you must hurry up and buy and quickly leave. SMDH. Secondly, it’s illegal to have businesses that discriminates against people based on their race like the Chinese hospital. This needs to be investigated as soon as possible and if found to be true…. Shut down. Thirdly, they have clearly come to our country to exploit us. As a consequence, most of them haven’t even been bothered to learn our language. These people are Chinese who are living in Nigeria and not Nigerian Chinese …. there is a difference. I’m also curious as to how they were granted Nigerian visas as they obviously do not care for our culture or our people. Their right to reside in Nigeria needs to be monitored by immigration authorities constantly. I find it sad that you, the creator of this video, is trying to speak their language…. in Nigeria. SMDH We must not mistake the businesses that are fronted by Nigerians as the same as Nigerian owned businesses. As far as I can see 100% of the businesses in this complex are owned by the Chinese…. in Nigeria. SMDH. The only reason why there are vacant shops is because the Chinese fled Nigeria during the outbreak of the Wuhan 19…. a pandemic which they started. I remember at that time how horribly they treated Africans in China. The lady “Goodness” is stupid for calling her Chinese employers her “master”. Her calling the Chinese her “master” demonstrates her lack of personal pride, dignity and education. I guarantee that no Chinese man would agree to call a black man his “master.” Finally, we must be very careful about allowing foreigners settle on our land. These people don’t like us or respect us. We do not want to be recolonised.

You need to wake up. Not all that glitters is gold. Your gullible attitude is possibly the same as our ancestors when they first saw the white man.

The Chinese sell fake goods... which can be a danger to life if they burst into flames, fake medicine, plastic rice, poisonous food, engage in illegal mining, illegal poaching of wildlife, they make videos ridiculing Africa and Africans which widely circulate on their social media, debt trap African economies etc. They are here to exploit, take resources, land and power.

I thought Chinatowns were just a thing in Western countries like USA and Britain so I was very surprised to see we had one in Nigeria too. I'll try to visit when next I come to Lagos. Though I must say I don't like this practice of refusing services to non-chinese people. East Asians are rather fond of doing that nonsense but it's one thing to refuse rendering a service to visitors and tourists in their countries and then another to refuse rendering services to locals in a country where they are immigrants. It's very disrespectful to the local community. The government should investigate that place and shut it down.

It's just that simple. Do you really think that they want to be in Nigeria? Wake up. SMDH.

I first went to this Chinatown in 2005. I took a holiday from the UK to attend my sisters wedding and I was shocked. It was a nice experience but the most shocking thing was hearing a Chinese person speak pidgin. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

[@97VIRTUESHEART]

What is there to be shock about are they not in Nigeria.

[@petestreet100]

@@97VIRTUESHEART A lot!! Considering it was the first time hearing it and it was the last thing I expected. Do you understand now??

The Chinese government and their country's businesses use "soft power" to work their way into the good graces of African and other foreign countries' leaderships through the funding and development of capital projects (rail/highways/others). Do research on what soft power means and you will begin to understand what they are doing on the continent. For these projects, they promise and provide some jobs for local people but also arrange for Chinese workers to work with and supervise African workers on these construction sites. These projects enable waves of Chinese families to immigrate to African countries and set up their communities which are always separate from the local populations. Chinatowns can be found everywhere across the world. For example, there are about 50 Chinatowns located just in the United States. They are located in major cities such as Chicago, New York (Manhattan), San Francisco, Boston and Philadelphia. They set up businesses that appeal to local populations so they can support their families, but beyond that, they don't live among or associate with local people. They live in their own communities and maintain their culture and language. So, it is important to pay attention to what is happening in your country, what your leadership is doing, whether these relationships are really providing economic growth and related benefits to your communities. Or are their communities the only ones that are successfully growing right in the middle of your lands. Although there is nothing wrong with immigrants taking care of their families and becoming prosperous, it should not create long-term disadvantages to African families and their communities.

Oh shut up. Chinese people are just more community oriented than we are. They have a Chinatown in most major cities and have done so for YEARS

[@SunlightHollow99]

You’re a failure as a race if you let people discriminate against you in your own country. Them having their own communities is fine, but them refusing to serve the locals in their own country…no one else but Africans would tolerate it
