They were accused of\nbeing the purveyors of the virus even when some of them had no recent travel\nhistory. Among the victims are businessmen, travellers and students. After the\ninitial recovery from the pandemic, China recorded 108 confirmed new cases as\nof April 12 in a few cities, sparking fresh concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This treatment of Nigerians abroad evokes many ideas about\nnational values, foreign relations, human rights, diplomacy and law. As a\nresult, the Federal Government should seek remedies for these breaches against\nits citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nigerians have allegedly been summarily evicted by their\nlandlords in Guangzhou at the behest of the police; denied access to medical\nfacilities, turned away by hotels where they sought alternative refuge. They\nare being denied food at restaurants, corralled into quarantine, forcibly\ntested for the virus and their passports confiscated. These are unacceptable\ndiplomatic conduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, said\nthe allegations had been investigated and found to be untrue, blaming the issue\non \u201ccommunication gap.\u201d At a joint news conference, both governments pledged\nrenewed commitment to combating the pandemic and bridging the line of\ncommunication henceforth. The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi\nGbajabiamila, said the row had been resolved without giving any details. This\nis wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Nigerian authorities in Abuja should stop China now. The\nCNN and other credible international media outfits reported the incident,\nincluding speaking to the affected Nigerians and other Africans. The response\nof the Consul-General of Nigeria High Commission in China, Cyril Anozie, to\nthis humiliation is, however, commendable. In a video that went viral, he told\nlocal officials in Guangzhou that their action was an utter breach of\ndiplomatic protocol. The diplomat vigorously told them that the passports\nbelonged to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and were not the property of the\nholders. He wondered aloud why they should single out Nigerians and blacks for\nsuch treatment, when nationals of other countries worst hit by the virus were\nleft unmolested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the video, Anozie declared, \u201cIf you seize Nigerian\npassports, you are seizing Nigeria as a whole and it is not acceptable. You\ndidn\u2019t communicate to us that you are going to go to all the Nigerian houses\nand ask people to come out for quarantine. If you want to do your policy, shut\ndown the entire city, don\u2019t discriminate. In Nigeria, we have a lot of Chinese,\nI don\u2019t think you have ever received any information that the government of\nNigeria go to their various houses and pick them for quarantine, so why are\nAfricans and indeed Nigerians being targeted in China? Nigerians are not\ncriminals\u2026We will continue to protect them.\u201d He is right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The intriguing part is that their victims have no record of\nrecent travel history to justify being accused of being the source of the\nlatest spread of the virus. In fact, the Chinese Vice-Minister of Foreign\nAffairs, Luo Zhaohui, on March 26 disclosed that 90 per cent of the imported\ncases of the virus held Chinese passports. The revelation came against the\nbackground of the directive of President Xi Jinping to the authorities to be\nwatchful for imported cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two of the Nigerian victims expressed their disappointment\nwith the police for failing to respond to their enquiries about their\nmaltreatment. One of them stated that after their quarantine and virus test\nthat proved negative, \u201cWe went to the hotel with the certificate but we were\nrejected.\u201d The police who should have stepped in \u201c\u2026 failed to talk,\u201d he told\nthe CNN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1111\" height=\"741\" data-attachment-id=\"1250\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/04\/19\/1248\/576ab3d72200002d00f825f8\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/576ab3d72200002d00f825f8.jpeg?fit=1111%2C741&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1111,741\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"576ab3d72200002d00f825f8\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/576ab3d72200002d00f825f8.jpeg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/576ab3d72200002d00f825f8.jpeg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/576ab3d72200002d00f825f8.jpeg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/576ab3d72200002d00f825f8.jpeg?w=1111&amp;ssl=1 1111w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/576ab3d72200002d00f825f8.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/576ab3d72200002d00f825f8.jpeg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/576ab3d72200002d00f825f8.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their frustration is not different from that of Tony\nMatthias, a Ugandan exchange student. He told the AFP that he and other\nAfricans had been sleeping under the bridge for four days with no food to eat.\n\u201cI cannot buy food anywhere. No shop or restaurant will serve me.\u201d The racial\nundertone of the assault was accentuated by the experience of one Youssouf from\nSenegal, who has a Canadian wife. A resident of Shenzhen, south Guangzhou, he\nexplained that the local authorities came to his house, picked him for quarantine\nand testing, while his Canadian wife was spared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amid all this, Onyema tweeted a week ago that he would\nsummon the Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, Zhou Pingjian, to convey the Federal\nGovernment\u2019s \u201cextreme concern at allegations of maltreatment of Nigerians in\nGuangzhou.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nigeria should be resolute in demanding that China restores\nsanity to the lives of its (Nigerians) citizens evicted from their homes, now\ncompelled to itinerant lives on the streets of Guangzhou and other towns. Local\nChinese authorities should return their confiscated passports. The country has\nhad enough of this diplomatic affront from China. This racial profiling\nrequires that Nigeria revives its capacity to act in line with the age-long\nframe-work of reciprocity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1486\" height=\"1187\" data-attachment-id=\"1251\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/04\/19\/1248\/download-1-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/download-1.jpg?fit=1486%2C1187&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1486,1187\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"download-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/download-1.jpg?fit=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/download-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C818&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/download-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C818&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/download-1.jpg?w=1486&amp;ssl=1 1486w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/download-1.jpg?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/download-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C818&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/download-1.jpg?resize=768%2C613&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is within international behaviour for nations to stand by\ntheir citizens living abroad and protect them against injustice. Such\nsolidarity goes with the insistence that the rule of law should not be trampled\nupon in handling their offences while they should be treated with dignity. But\nit is unfortunate that China is often found wanting here. In fact, the\nGuangzhou racial siege is not new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Chinese racial slur, a despicable monster, raves not\nonly in the country, but within the shores of Nigeria too. Last month, a\nChinese restaurant in Victoria Island Lagos denied Nigerians service. Its\npersonnel brazenly admitted that the action was a matter of policy, forcing the\ngovernment to shut it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Federal Government should do much more to impress it on\nChina that international relations connote equality of nations. As much as\nNigerians living in China are obliged to obey local laws, any violation of\ntheir legitimate interests should be challenged. Our diplomats should, at all\ntimes, ensure that Nigerians are not discriminated against under local laws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punch Editorial NIGERIANS and other Africans living in China have been subjected to brutal racial assaults by the authorities of their host country, following the recent uptick in the COVID-19 pandemic.
