Nigerian anger over China deaths

Nigeria has close ties with China and trade between the countries is booming

Nigeria MPs have asked the government to investigate the status of Chinese residents in the country, saying some may be staying there illegally.

The demand follows allegations that Nigerians in China, especially those in jail, are being mistreated.

The MPs asked the government to reject a request by the Chinese authorities to cremate the bodies of 30 Nigerians who have died in Chinese jails.

There are an estimated 700 Nigerians currently in prison in China.

The BBC's Chris Ewokor in Abuja says they are mainly charged with immigration, drug or fraud offences.

Trade between Nigeria and China is booming and an estimated 20,000 Chinese people live in Nigeria, he says

419 scam not acceptable in China? In China, it turns into an excuse to harvest organs from the perp.

Drug offenses put these Nigerians in jail plus the Chinese are racists. They are probably laughing each night that an African is president of the United States. This is how they think. Japanese are the same

Only white people get criticism for racism. Everyone else including blacks get a free pass

Things were not much better during Clinton days. Remember Chicom officials used to call Clinton "Our Man in Washington?" To Chinese, America was where tailor trash becomes a president and run amok, selling out his country for campaign cash.

Now with clueless Obama at the helm, I am sure that the level of jokes went up, but they will keep it to themselves this time around.

Great insight to ChiCom thinking. The similarities of Clinton and Obama are great starting with the father who abandoned them and the drug taking (including cocaine) of each

And the ChiCom rulers are too savvy to get caught making racist remarks. Unlike the Japanese who every other year used to make anti-black or anti-minority remarks that would get widely publicized and bite them

I doubt the average Nigerian has enough Chinese to perpetrate these scams. Besides, you don't need to be in China to carry them out. In fact, it's preferable that you're not in-country, given that China alone imposes the death penalty for financial crimes. I suspect many of the folks in custody are students or import-export traders who dabbled in narcotics distribution on the side.
