Last night at the internet shop, a Nigerian dude asked me if I was Chinese, and although I said I wasn't, he continued to talk to me as if I was Chinese.

"Do China men have small penis? And is it true China man have sex amongst siblings?"

So I said,

"Do Nigerians have sex between sisters and brothers?"

and the guy waved his hands and shouted,

"NO! No way! We have tradition man!"

So I said,

"Chinese have tradition too."

And the Nigerian dude nodded as he had understood my point. And I continued,

"And about the size of their penis, I can't say. I've never seen a Chinese man's penis. Have you?"

It seems the Nigerians have real bad feelings towards Chinese. I really can't say why, because I can't go around asking them why they don't like Chinese, and even if I did, they won't tell me a straight answer.

But through conversation with people from a certain NGO I visited today, I get the feeling that they feel the Chinese are working the Nigerians like slaves.

But to me, that's just an excuse... I think they are jeolous that the Chinese come to their land and make so much money and prosper, while they are stuck in poverty. It is like that in any part of the world... (Indonesia comes to my mind...)

The Nigerians say,

"Chinese don't spend any money in Nigeria. They take everything back and spend it else where. That's why they don't contribute anything to Nigeria."

Well, if there was anything good in Nigeria, I'm sure even the stingy Chinese might spend some money, but there is nothing to buy in Nigeria...

Any way they put it, I think it's got more to do with inferiority complex, than any other excuse.

But who am I to say this or that? I've been here for what... 3 days? But there are things that you don't need to look far and long to understand. You know what they are?

Human Natures.

Nigerians, Chinese, Koreans, Thai... we are all humans.
