A 23-year-old Nigerian man is reportedly currently languishing in a jail in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after alleged unlawful arrest, according to a tweep.
A Dubai based chef, disclosed this via Twitter on Friday, 16 December, 2022.
He said the man was initially reported missing but it was later discovered that he had been arrested at a store while buying groceries.
“There’s a 23 year old Nigerian currently languishing in Dubai jail. He went missing for a while and then we found out he was arrested for no reason just after he finished buying groceries from the store downstairs. There’s so many of them in jail. No criminal cases nothing,” he tweeted.
His tweet has sparked reaction on the micro blogging platform as some Nigerians have dragged the Federal Government for underperforming.
A netizen called on the federal government to help those remanded in Nigerian prisons without being charged to court.
“Let government help the ones that are full inside Nigeria jails all over Naija without been charge to court. Dubai is learning from Naija.”
Another netizen, Slam, reacted to the news by saying: “While it is easy to tell ordinary Nigerians to STOP going to ARAB countries , It is not easy to tell the Nigerian government to STOP corruption, Nigerians are hated everywhere we go.
“The image of corruption that Nigerian leaders are known for is being punished on every Nigerian citizen even when you are innocent. What Chimamanda called “Single story” is being used to dehumanize Nigerian in every parts of the world.
“In the 80s Ghanaians used to fear Nigerian especially the Yoruba people who dominated Africa with Education and high intelligence not because we were bad, but because we were discreet in dealings. All that is gone now as Ghanaians are even so bold to be messing up Nigerians in Ghana.
“The corruption of leadership has affected every Nigerian-born and young men think this is the way of life.
“We are now being hated even by insignificant countries. We were all here when Dubai a desert began their development while the Nigerian Leaders were stealing resources meant for the whole citizens of the country making Nigerian uninhabitable for Nigerians such that everyone look for solace outside of Nigeria.
“Rather than fight the corrupt system that kept us all in bondage, Nigerian are going to Arab who hates them with deep hatred, Arabs were the first Colonizers travelling through the Sahara through Egypt to colonize Africa , for anyone to consider them as a destination of choice is to shoot yourself in the foot.
“To say they hate African is even too mild a description, they utterly detest Africa for so many reason. I had a fight with one with whom I travel to the US in 2014. I could sense his disgust, were it not for the fact that i wasn’t in Saudi Arabia where he attended the program from, he would have set me up for daring to caution his behaviors.
“Women who allowed themselves to be used by Arabs are despicable because they do not know history and do not know how Arabs feel disgusted about them and shames them after they have had sex with them.
“That is why in Dubai, the only jobs Africans do is prostitution. Don’t tell me there are other jobs. There might be to you but you wont stay in that system for too long before you are an object of sex. Nigerian girls are being shipped to Arab countries as sex slaves to these animals.
“You will see them in Dubai, Lebanon, Quarter, Egypt all for money. In real sense we ought to be richer than these Arabs if our Leaders are not as backward and wicked as they have been for over 60 Years.
“Our Politicians need to be executed in broad day light, Arabs are poor but they made used of their resources for the benefits of their citizens.
“Our leaders steal them hoping to live forever. STOP going to Saudi, stop going to Dubai, stop travelling to Arab countries. STOP PATRONIZING ARABS , STOP SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY TO THESE RACIST’?”
