The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection
Commission (FCCPC) has sealed off an Abuja-based
Chinese supermarket.
The supermarket is situated at the China General Chamber
of Commerce, along Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Road in the
Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
Nigerians, particularly on X, had called out the
supermarket’s management over alleged discriminatory
policy against citizens of the country.
In a viral video, a security guard at the supermarket was
heard explaining that Nigerians were not allowed to shop at
the facility.
He said the policy was given by their employer to all the
employees from January 2024.
“Nigerians were stopped from entering this supermarket in
January,” the security guard said.
One of the unidentified Nigerians who were denied entrance
to the store said in the video that,
“We are not allowed to enter the Chinese supermarket. It is
not a joke. We have been trying to enter the place but we
heard that most of the workers there are Nigerians. If we
go in forcefully, they might lose their jobs.”
This discovery generated a lot of bad feelings among
Nigerians who described the supermarket’s policy as
discriminatory. They called on the government to intervene.
On Monday evening, officials of the FCCPC shut the
supermarket when they stormed the premises.
The development comes days after the commission closed
all branches of 4U Supermarket in Abuja following the
discovery of bags of rice filled with weevils.
Meanwhile, Nigerians on X have reacted to the closure of
the Chinese supermarket.
@Iykeibrahim said: “Am beginning to have some trust in
the Jagaban government.”
@Awelu9ce: “The place doesn’t even look like a
supermarket… What must be going on in there? May God
save us o”
@trevcap3lla982: “Racism inside our own country… This
speaks a lot about the Chinese people… It’s so pathetic.”
@uqochukwu: “The power of social media.”
@TindeTresh: “This is the best news today.”
@Oladapomikky1: “Imagine foreigners giving sons
daughters of the soil boundaries.”
@AdventurousAles: “I congratulate the FCCPC for this, it’s
insanity, when you don’t allow Nigerians into the restaurant
in our own land, c’mon! The height of discrimination must
end, you can do that in China not in our capital territory.”
@JustOneDebbie: “Oh wow, I mean. Normally, why would
you establish a company in a country and u banned the
citizens of the same country from entering the company.”
@SimpleTee: “This made me so happy, the only thing the
authorities have done this year that I’m proud of , them
suppose deport the owner of the supermarket too.”
@ndubisi_omeke: “That’s nice. Why would a foreign
restaurant established in Nigeria refuse to accept
Nigerians? Who does that!”
@EmmyIfeoluwa13: “I knew that this would happen. How
will u come into another persons country and restrict its
citizens from patronizing ur mall. That makes no sense.”
@ItzBarbieAlmie: “This is how it should be done !! They
can’t make us foreigners in our own country.”

Firstly journalist should go and investigate the kind of goods sold in the supermarket to know if it's something am thinking , because Chinese can eat anything

in China they radically discriminating against the
black men there's serious racism in China to the extent at which
some places are being denied access by the black men. You can't
live freely as a black man in China as the way they does in our
Country.

Hehehe

Yes Chinese can eat anything but I know it can never be human flesh.

They are not cannibals like some people from a particular region

How come our DSS didn't know about this?

I DON'T blame racists. I understand racism. It's a dumb ideology but I get where they are coming from.

But having the AUDACITY to be OPENLY racist to citizens in their own country is next-level fucckery.

Owners and employees should be tracked down and made into CAUTIONARY tales for other racists.

You DON'T come to Nigeria and fuuuck with Nigerians. Only Nigerians fuccck with Nigerians.

Aside from your ignorance. Can you go to china and open supermarket then told china citizens is strictly for Nigerians living in china .

They should carry their discrimination to their country not Nigeria

This is not the first time this agency vis shutting down this same supermarket

The issue is not all about buying and selling. The major theme here is practicing racism against us in our own indigenous country.

Ok

hmm

They are really funny.
What type of nonsense is that?

Good one by the FG

The federal government should be congratulated for its swift reaction in closing down the attempt by Chinese immigrants in Nigeria to create their sneaky and incremental version of a neo-Apartheid system whereby Nigerians can be excluded whimsically from any Chinese-owned establishments located in Nigeria.

No person from China is living in Nigeria out of love for Nigerians or any black human beings. The Chinese are swarming to Nigeria, Ghana, Eritrea, DRC, and other black African countries to plunder natural resources and ALSO to buy land where they can create their own "Greater China" that will ultimately be off-limits to native black Africans, except in the capacity of indentured slave laborers, right now during the year of 2024 in modern-day "enlightened" Africa.

The denial of access to that Chinese supermarket is the tip of the sword and a TEST to evaluate the Nigerian leadership's awareness of how the gradual but systematic process of neo-colonialism works in practical terms. If the Nigerian government had NOT responded decisively to this instance of attempted Chinese Apartheid by closing that Chinese shop in Abuja, the practice of barring Africans from establishments created by Chinese immigrants to Africa would have proliferated until it became the new ugly norm that is accepted with bitter resignation by the indigenous Nigerian populace reduced in social status to third-class citizens under de-facto rule by Communist Red China, right there in Nigeria.

The Nigerian government deserves praise for quickly spotting this brazen act of racist hate by Chinese immigrants in Nigeria, and this prompt action by the government will serve sobering notice to other Chinese immigrants who are eager to debar all Nigerians except for their underpaid workforce from their factories and residential estates, that Nigeria is NOT Eritrea where a Chinese military base has been created to keep the black native savages in check under their new colonial masters, the Red Chinese Communist Party.

Even as we are against racism, many Nigerians are not different from the racist chinese here in this story. The only difference here is they share different colour and race. Tribalism is worst than racism. If you are a tribal bigot, it is hypocritic for you to speak against racism
