I had the same experience at Chelsea Hotel in Area 10, Abuja. We arrived Abuja from Port Harcourt after travelling by road for over 10 hours to check into our rooms at the hotel. I think it was about 6-7pm or thereabouts and there was a short queue of about 3 people before we arrived. We were just 2 in our team. Some 2 customers joined the queue behind us and we were all tired with long and drawn faces waiting in line to be allocated rooms as I had already previously booked for our (my team) rooms. Then it happened. A Whiteman, obviously arriving from the airport came in and joined the queue behind the last person. One of the front office staff at the desk then beckoned on him (the Whiteman) to come to the counter and started attending to him. Not as if the Hotel has a policy of segregation or whatever. Not as if I am new to the Hotel as I have been staying there for over 4 years each time I am in Abuja and I go to Abuja at least twice in a month with each stay spanning a period of not less than 4 days. In short, the staff already give me preferential treatment most times, while the Management gave me a fat discount on rooms and sends me Chrismas gifts every year. This is to lay a background of how conversant I am with the Hotel, staff and Management. Back to my story. The Whiteman was already counting his money to pay when I descended on the Hotel Staff. I asked him why he had to single out the Whiteman for preferential treatment when its obvious that we have an organized queue going. I asked him if he (the staff) would be given same treatment if he were to fin himself in New York, Amsterdam, Manchester, etc. I also asked him if the Whiteman is paying more than I was charged and if that be the case, did they charge me like they charged him and I refused to pay? I starting saying something about racism, in my face, in my country, on my soil and the lobby became jam-packed with guests and other staff and I was sure to bring down the roof as I go berserk. Being an hotel of high standing, the Management staff around had to ask the front office staff to discontinue attending to the white guy and politely asked the Whiteman to rejoin the queue and the Staff that did the discrimination was asked to leave the counter immediately to an adjoining office and normal services resumed. While my show was going on, especially when I brought in the racism thing, the Whiteman became very sober and apologetic and you could see that he was really sorry as his face fell with remorse and lost some colour. It wasn't his fault anyways as he was jejely on the queue when that sabi sabi staff called him up. I look the man come dey pity am sef. That night, I had an apology note from the night manager, with a free dinner and a bottle of wine, all on the house. I come dey wish say repeat version go dey dey again and again, make man for dey wack free food and knack am down with free booze... 11 Likes |

Exactly the same way a white man would be paid higher than an indigenous staff here in nigeria...our mumu and arse licking in this country knows no bounds....our organizations fall victim to this madness always...we pay our graduates 2 naira, but when a white man comes all in the name of an expert we pay him all kinds of amount of monies you can think of...rubbish.... 6 Likes 1 Share |

IzonOwei: It's because we believe and know them to be mentally superior to the blacks. And they leverage that advantage. Simple. Bro, they're superior. Why? You keep proving them right. You don't have a system. Anything goes here. Put your house in order. Enforce your laws. Others will comply. Is that too hard to do? For the black man, it's too hard to do. 1 Like 1 Share |

I would have probably done the same if I was there...# #So out of all the the persons waiting in line for their BVN nd apart from the OP, it was only the market woman that summoned the courage to speak her mind and challenge the white man and bank authorities for doing it wrong. I thought they said 'knowledge is power'. We've gone to school, acquired the knowledge, now where's the power #SMH 3 Likes |

I won't join others to say "oh nice, fantastic, good " and all , but I will simply say - You've done the black race good. Weldone for a job well done bro. Some people even on this thread won't mind the treatment since it is not about Maura and Kobo, but some of us care to the bone marrow, despite being a dual citizen of this great nation and a western country and even working and making our living in Nigeria. You have done what most people will shy away from doing, some of relocated to our dear country because we can't continue to be called British citizen of black origin or black Americans etc Nice job once again. 1 Like |

Holyfield1:We just have an issue with this people on this colour of skin!one thing I know fOr sure is dat their skin ain't white!if u put a white cloth on oyingbo u'll see the white supersede his skin colour! And again the kind of treatment giving. To the white folks here in africa is really bad and we should not allow them have that mentality of slavery even in our own soil. Some of these oyinbo's are cobblers,and other menial jobs but when they come down here,we worship them as God!who even gave us the mentality that they are better!they can't be better than we blacks,if obama can be the president of america then truly a blackman can be better in every way... 1 Like |

LOC1:the problem is we blacks too... Nw if u read that piece well, u"d observe smth... We blacks tend to see ourselves lesser dan the whites. The white man came in to d bank and d security man escorted him to d bvn lady, smth a security man wouldn't do for a black man. Secondly, most people on d queue kept quiet wen d white man was bein attended to except d market woman... Dat means most blacks allow demselves to be intimidated. 3 Likes |

It doesn't matter whether the OP slapped the oyinbo or not , It is of no point- As long as we remain underdeveloped as a nation and as a society, we will always feel inferior to the white man simply because, by all ramifications- they are way ahead of us. So all the op supporters here can scream from now till eternity about how well the op has done, y'all still go back to your room and feel the same inferiority that you are all claiming is non existent in public. Classic case of self denial guys. 1 Like 1 Share |

Op, I love what you did and how I wish I was at same bank, I would have also turned the bank upside down. Same thing I did to an Indian man at the Airport that was insulting maybe his driver and I was coming into the country.When I heard him insulting the guy, I jumped on him held him to the wall and the airport security came up on us as I pinned him to the wall, asking him " who the hell are you to get your fvcking asss to Nigeria to insult a citizen of Nigeria in his own country?" Boy I was mad as I told him that the insult is on Nigerians and not to the guy. Boy, you did well cus that inferiority complex of a black man is still in us as our people still see them as been superior to we blacks. |

What I really found annoying and strange is the lackadaisical and indifferent attitude of the vast majority of Nigerians on the queue. I'm happy one Nigerian was courageous enough to stop the madness. The greater blame resides with us. The White guy just did what he thought was the proper thing, since he's done that on so many occasions. We don't a working system. People are very observant. They simply interprete a system and then act accordingly. 5 Likes 1 Share |
