Viewers Corner News investigative journalist in Lagos, Nigeria, revealed to us that certain activities of the Chinese authority in Nigeria are not in the best interest of the people of Nigeria. According to him, the Chinese authority has a large area located in Lagos, Nigeria, which they call China Town. In this China town, they have their own hospital where only the people of China are treated, as alleged. Meaning that if you are not a Chinese person, you can never have access to that facility. Also, in another town in Nigeria, the Chinese have erected their own security outfit where only Chinese people are attended to. Now hear our point: if all these activities being carried out by the Chinese authority in Nigeria are done in good faith, then there may not be much to worry about, but if, in a country like Nigeria with a functional government, the Chinese authority is coming out to set up their own things that the federal government of Nigeria can handle nicely, then it becomes absolutely important for the federal government of Nigeria to look into such matters before they get out of hand. Again, China, with its large population, has started trooping into Nigeria, though there is nothing wrong with it. Proper control should be put in place to avoid “If I had known, I would have done things differently.” We would also use this opportunity to plead with the government of Nigeria to learn from the experience of South Africa and use such an experience to put a proper check on the influx of the people of China into Nigeria, because before you know it, they may start requesting to have their own government in Nigeria. It may sound unrealistic, but it may get to a point where they can no longer be checked anymore. So we are calling on the federal government of Nigeria to review the agreement that they have with China and know exactly which way to go. Again, if China can operate a hospital and prison in Nigeria that treats and handles only their people instead of allowing access to everyone, then such an attitude signify division, which is not good. There is no excuse or any acceptable reason that would be given by another country to have its own hospital and other things made exclusively for its own people alone. There are good hospitals in Nigeria that can attend to the needs of all nationals living in the country, and if they are having issues that require the attention of law enforcement agencies, they are also there in Nigeria. Hence, the Viewers Corner News team is appealing to the federal government of Nigeria to tread carefully with China.
