GOH! There's a 'whites only' restaurant at Nigerdock, Apapa?

Information reaching me now is that there's a 'Whites only' restaurant in the premises of Nigerdock, Apapa, Lagos. The British management of the corporation has dedicated one particular restaurant to their white staff and all blacks dine in all others.

Nigerdock is owned by the people of Nigeria but managed by a British group.

This is wrong, right? I'm putting this out here so the right authorities can go investigate...

Ajike,

Nigerdock is not owned by people of Nigeria. It is owned by private investors.

Not withstanding there should be no place for this sort of discrimination

Apartheid in Lagos! Shame on the Nigerdock management!

Shame on the white folk eating at that restaurant and shame on the black folk that refuse to put up a fight for their rights in their motherland.

What else is new? No be Naija where gullible Nigerians "worship" these pink-white stinking heffers? That is why I am really begining to respect Ghanians even though I am a Nigerian. If na Ghana, shit like this cannot happen. They take pride in their country. This is also why I am not in support of being hospitable to most of these european maggots and their descendants. Their stinking rascist asses don't like blacks yet they come to Africa. Can't they sit their stinking disgusting selves back in their home countries? I guess its not enough that they treat us blacks like shit in their respective countries. They feel the need to hop into the plane and continue their rascism on our own land right in our faces because we Nigerians tolerate it unfortunately. Nigerians pleaase change! They are mere mortals like us with bad skin that ages pretty quickly.

Linda, put them on blast please! Expose them sharp-sharp. Na like these dem start for South Africa and before we knew it, black south africans were being treated like slaves in their own homeland. Nigeria is all most of us got and we cannot allow rascist pigs bring their filth to our nation. Boko haram, where are you? we need your help at Nigerdock!

Since when has the sstories of racism being going on about Niger dock, has anyone done anything? They won't do nothing, as long as the whites keep settling our govt. Officials. Unfortunately, that's the way Nigeria is so save your breath Linda

See. I told you. Nigeria is under the white man's rule. Even the white people know it. I don't blame them, I blame the people in power. Now, the white person or persons who set up the stupid white only crap must be thrown out of Nigeria.

smart said...

I hear abt so much discrimination in Nigerdock. A frnd who worked there once told me one of these white guys once referred to Nigerian staff as 'black monkeys'. Its so saddening that we could be molested on our own land,and even in our own company.Its not hard to knw or say, some of our leaders and forefathers sold us into slavery in our own land.Or what would you say of a company which is supposed to pay its staff salary in foreign currency but some Nigerians who are at the top in such offices would say no to such.'pay them in naira' Its so shameful *smh*Only God can deliver us in this country from our own 'home slavery'.

Someone please contact Fashola ASAP! The governor needs to be made aware of what is going on in the state. Gosh! Why are these white bastards so rascist? And why do we black people(Nigerians/Africans) keep being so accomodating to them when they come to our countries when we are treated with alot of hate, disdain and resentment in their countries? Dem swear for us? Nigerians shine your eyes oh! I know that culture dictates that we treat strangers from other parts of the world with hospitality but the last time, oyibo man took that part of our culture for granted and before we knew it, we were robbed of several african artifacts and enslaved/colonized. If we don't learn from history, history may be bound to repeat itself. Whites have not changed how they feel about us. We should keep this in mind when dealing with them. Today, they may smile in your face with their buttered mouth (yellow, coffee stained teeth)but behind closed doors most still dispise us. Don't trust those pale animals in human skin.

I certainly hope this is not true. It is things like this that the Nigerian Senate should be investigating and debating instead of same-sex marriages. How many people are openly gay in this country? Being gay is still considered a crime not to talk about same-sex marriages. Even if the Bill were to be passed, I doubt that gay folks would take advantage of it because of the stigma that is attached to being gay in this part of the world.

Blackknight said...

I live in the beautiful Island of Ireland. I make bold to say that there is no place in the Republic where Blacks are not allowed in.

In my own country Naija - The most populous black nation,I can't be allowed to dine in a restaurant of my choice, in this day and age? Shame on your Goodluck Jonathan and all your Ministers for selling away our land to the British.You are all fools and will perpetually remain subservient to the West.
The only reason why the whites did that is because they already know that there is NOTHING WE CAN DO about it. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprise if it was confirmed that FG gave them the authority to operate a 'WHITE ONLY ' restaurant.Stupid country that refuses to grow.Mschewwww.
Why are our leaders so STUPID and ignorant?

Ndi Ara Ndi Ara. Na to dey Steal Money be their past times.Look at all of them with their Big Belle that is full of cancer and Diabetics - I hate all you Nigeria Politicians...Stupid and Ignorant people that just can't do something right for once.

They dare not. They better not...I know a good number of naijas have inferiority complexes including the very educated so called butter ones whose "kids or family members do not speak nor understand yoruba" but if this is true, I am taking it upon myself to run that business to the ground. Those conniving evil minded white folks have harrased, raped, degraded, stolen, killed from black folks enough. Now to do it on our own turf? mba. Not having it...Once this story has been confirmed as true, Linda please let me know. Don't do magomago investigation o. Make sure your sources are real and you confirm this is happening possibly with pictures or videos and watch the silent but mighty at work....

This information is completely wrong. I have visited and worked at snake island as rep from an oil company. Nigerdock has two restaurants (canteens) one which serves international foods and the other which serves Nigerian dishes. You are allowed to eat in anyone, however as expected, most Nigerians opt for the Nigerian canteen. This is typical of most oil/gas operation and or construction sites in the country as a result of the large number of expatriates.

Not surprised 'cos similar things are normal in other companies with a substantial expatriate staff

I know for a fact that in Siemens, there is a particular rest room which is used by only whites.

In Juluis Berger, I equally heard (a long time ago o) that the same applies to a particular room.

Can you imagine such happening in an Asian country?

why does it have to be manage by British group in the first place? Corruption will not let the nigerians manage it themself. This is not South Africa they should remember.

Sam Meera said...

Hey Linda! Are you really sure about the authenticity of this information because it is a serious allegation to put out there. There needs to be concrete facts to really show that this is true beyond doubt.
For example, is there any evidence to show that they refuse to serve food to other races or nationalities apart from the white British people?

If it is really true, then it should be investigated immediately by any of the Nigerian security forces. They should be sued and deported from our country as soon as possible.
If this is false, then your credibility has gone down the drain for me.

IF U KNOW ANY1 IN AUTHORITY THAT CAN HANDLE THE CASE, REPOR THIS DIRECTLY. NAIJA LEADERS ARE TOO BUSY WITH ELECTION TRIBUNALS, FILLING THEIR POCKETS, SUBSIDIZING OR NOT. I WISH WE CAN DEPORT WHOEVER THOUGHT OF SETTING THIS UP.

let me tell you all how it is. it is not a whites only , at least it's not written anywhere that they don't serve blacks. but blacks around there know not to bother entering the restaurant because they serve only foreign food and are uncomfortable when blacks enter

some of you who visit some pubs in the uk will understand what type of restaurant it is. they won't tell you not to enter but after ur first visit, you will know not to visit again.

oscar said...

How is this an issue the deprivation our leaders subject us to can it be compared to this.............. If the oyimbo wee dee there dicides to open all white restaurant then you go and open all black restaurant and refuse them entry if they want to come in

Every time we feel inferior and we are here claiming racism You want to eat oyimbo food how come they dont eat your amala ewedu or okoro soup.

I do not sence any racism in their action they employed you and pay you your salary, You use the same hospital and stay in the same office must you eat what they eat. lets cherish your own African food and be proud of our culture .
You go to some companies the
Nigerian Engineers will be wearing
suits and tie while the oyimbo Engineers will wear jeans and T shirt

It's not true oooh i have been there and eaten in the restaurant oooh really nice place , but they are very shitty ------ they do not treat their staff well at all that shld be our concern and it is not owned by the brits oooh na some yeye lebanese and trust our useless nigerians who allow these unfortunate oyibo to treat nigerians very bad . wetin senate wan do or fashola you'd be surprised those who take their boats and ships for dry docking of course they would protect them .

I am beyond weak!
They do it to us in their countries,now the have brought it to us in OUR country, same style. And you seriously think it is ok?!

Wow! Walai, some people need to be re-taken as slaves!

Like ChiChiLuv said, something like this was alleged to have happened in Ghana and the government closed down the club/restaurant/whatever the heck it was. That could have only happened if the general consensus among the Ghanians was that they didnt want such.
No wonder Nigeria is so backward. The people can't even tell what is right for them and what is wrong for them...smh

this story is real and accurate because i am a live witness to this issue.i serve with a client company at snake island and happen to be one of the few Nigerians that they couldn't stop from eating there, however, the nigerdock Nigerian staff have been moved to a less equipped canteen and given N200 as against $25 per meal at the "all white shore club restaurant". only international dishes are served now at the "shore club restaurant", the national dishes have been stopped. well, i guess the management have been made aware of this blog and have taken quick steps to rebuff this facts by hiring a photographer to snap "black clients" eating at the restaurant during lunch hour today, i did create a scene when he attempted to snap me. if and when the management put up those pictures on the media, please ask how many of those blacks are "nigerdock staff"?. one time, i clearly overheard the Lebanese Admin manager mention in a conversation with his fellow expatriate that "snake island is a free zone and so its not a Nigerian territory hence local rule don't apply".. Alongside, there are many more areas of discrimination and deprivation the staff have been subjected to as concerning company policies which consummated in a protest and shut down few months ago but their voices remained unheard. workers were called "black monkeys" and addressed with statements like "when republicans talk, democrats should shut their trap"... Yet,members of the Rep visited the company 2months ago and returned with praises on the media on the state of things ( after been treated and overfed at the same "all white shore club restaurant"..it quite pathetic what is witnessed on a daily basis in the company, asides the fact that foreigners are brought in on a regular basis as diggers,truck drivers,caterers etc (let me spare the photos) and paid in outrageous foreign currencies.. if the government should be sincere about policies, welfare and labor laws they should hear from common Nigerian nigerdock workers toiling under the sun to receive peanuts with unexplainable cuts at the end of the 31 days of the month (inclusive of weekends and public hols). our local content policy need to be alive to harness this error

And after all that hoopla online, the question remains what are Nigerians going to do about this if it is true...What are Nigerians going to do about non-Africans who come to their lands, set up shop and treat them like scum...Pray about it? Cry about it? Do nothing about it? You can scream the white man/women this and that all day and night, but if you aspire to be like these people in every way possible - in your physical appearance and manner, reject your traditions in favor of foreign ones, etc, then stop complaining.
