Oh dear! There's a homeless Chinese man in Lagos (photos)

This Asian man was spotted sleeping on the streets of Lagos a few days ago. Adeola Odeku street in Victoria Island to be precise. This is not the first time he's been spotted roaming around the area. People suspect he may be homeless. Never seen this before in Lagos. See more photos after the cut...

I guess is high time Nigerian govt started deporting homeless n jobless foreigners back to their respective countries. How can a foreigner witout his papers complete be roaming about n sleeping in the street freely witout police or other authorities arresting him. They shud be sent back to their country.. Is not easy for we Nigerians talk more of a homeless and jobless foreigner.

He is a pretender cos he is looking for something to take home in that area,plz check his mobile phone and u will see all his transactions in his message box. Why that place? There's other areas he can sleep Ok,let him go to iddo park or ojuelegba. Plz let police search that guy very well cos they pretend a lot and Chinese will do everything he or she can do to get what he or she want. Osyda say so

Anonymous said...

Perhaps your shock explains why expats are usually more successful than indigenous communities in Africa - inferioty complex mentality. Opportunities get handed to these people because they're not *supposed* to suffer when a local Nigerian wouldn't be granted the access they're given because poverty *can* be their lot in life. How you ignored the Nigerian equally sleeping next to him on the street in the pic supports what I'm saying.

Don't mind Nigerians and their complex issues.

How many Nigerians are roaming the streets of China?

How many Nigerians are languishing in their prisons for a crime they did not commit?

How many homeless Nigerians do we have in Lagos?

So because he is a "Chinese man" it is news worthy?

Linda, how many Homeless Nigerians have you posted on your blog, or you dont see them, Children, Men, Women? is it becase this one is white??? let him visit their embassy for help or go back to his country, by the way, how did he even get into the country? i thought they normally check where you are staying, who you are visiting etc. becasue they do the same checks when you visit their country.

Linda use your blog to help Nigerians that may be one of the reason God is promoting and blessing you.

I like the fact that he is on news but I don't want it to stop here, he should be put in jail without trial and he should be made to do cheap labour for a minimum of two years before we deport his Mongolian ass back to China and China must know about it because, they did it to a Nigerian in China.

I have lived in Washington, Munich and now living in China. If you see the number of homeless people on the streets you go thank God for Nigeria. They are all citizens. Even scavengers going through refuse plenty well well. The media never shows you that but when it comes to Africa they focus on the worst. Poverty is universal and has no respect for race or nationality.

I am a chinese , now i working in Lagos, i think i am qualified to clarify something :

1,this guy can not be from Huawei , the top company , i mean without any whitemen adulteration, totally run by chinese.

2,i guess he is employed by some small company to sell sth or do the marketing or collect some info for the sales, but find out the market is too full of competition to make any more business and lost even his boss's support, who is a bastard living somewhere in China.

3,I am not whiteman, and chinese will not be PROUND of being whiteman or being called master, because we don't have these racial ranking idea,which is created by the real whitemen.

4,But, we chinese, at least many , especially those staying in China without the chance to see the world withou, think black men inferior,but not because racial discrimination ,because , i guess , black men are poor and most chinese are ignorant.

5,what you see , here in Nigeria, are rich chinese, or comparatively richer than the local people, of course, if not , why should i come here? but chinese are focus on business and money, we are weak to protect ourselves by applying politics, so , sometimes, when discussed about the country policy or politician, i will feel very confused.most chinese will, even the rich ones.

6,thanks for understanding us by saying "it is a large country, the govenment don't care any of them ","chinco will not accomodate their brother","there is enough street to hobo in china, so go back".....ok, all of these are right, but not because you have been to china and know china well enough to say so , but because Nigeria is also a populous and corrupted country, you can feel the same thing we chinese feel , so thanks for your understanding.

7, but something you can never know, e.g., i come from Guangzhou, the city 99% black men coming to china will choose to live, big and hot city in the south. True, once the police men chase some illegal black men and cause one guy die by dropping out of the window, but , this is an accident. And i can 100% sure to tell you , if this man is really a chinese man , if he tries his luck by asking help from the chinese embassy , which is actually in Abuja, he can NOT get any help.

8,I agree, poverty is fair, indiscriminating, and cruel , so , for sake of God, which we chinese do not believem , and for sake of humanity, which most chinese does not know what it is, no more jest about him, everybody has his own fate.
