The chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, NIDCOM, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has spoken in regards the maltreatment suffered by Nigerians in China.
Speaking during a town hall meeting held with Nigerians in America via Zoom, Abike Dabiri-Erewa stated that it seems Chinese people don’t want Nigerians and other Africans in their country.“I will be very realistic with the issue of Africans in China…what I am seeing is that they don’t want Africans in China. Some businessmen are stranded there but when you want to your home, they don’t allow you. In China, if you don’t have a residence, you can’t get a permit,” she said. She added: “We need to build a world of peace and love. There has to be reciprocity: Respect me and I respect you, treat me well and I treat you well. They should demand their right and obey their laws too but the laws should not be discriminatory,” Dabiri-Erewa added.
