But 80% of Nigerians disrespect the naira and none have been heard to be arrested not talk of sentence

Evil china people. deport his ass after serving the jail term. So many Chinese, Lebanese, Philippines are living illegally in Lagos.
Nigerian immigration should be checking them, most their visa have expired, most have no work permit, na so them go pack themselves dey useless Naija girls for Troy Lekki, and those bars in the axis.

But wait o, is this a new law. We need to know. Because I have not heard of this before.

I trust a Chinese man. He will fight his way out of prison using kung-fu

What about people that throw money anyhow during parties

Stupid racist government instead of making lives for your people better, they are targeting Chinese to give themselves false superiority

If they let him go, ya all will still complain! The Chinese are stupidly egoistic and dumb assed racists, he deserves no mercy and I wish he'll serve his term without the option of fine.

Yes, Nigerians throw money anyhow, but people still get to spend the money they throw! Did you see what that chinko did to our scarce naira? That 3,500 could have bought breakfast, lunch and dinner for someone!
