They have WHITES ONLY hotel in LAGOS and more to follow.
ASK any number of Nigerian men or women who travel on a regular basis to Holland if they know or have heard of a race of people by the name of “DUTCH”. Don’t bother to wait for an answer. Just watch how their lips would do a bit of Irish jig in search of an answer.
Indeed, many Nigerians who have been to Holland do not know that Holland is also known as the Netherlands. This being so, it is unrealistic and impractical to expect Nigerians to associate the name “DUTCH” with the names Holland and Netherlands.
Every white person is an Oyinbo
In the eyes of millions of Nigerians, every white person is an Oyinbo but every Oyinbo is also regarded as British. So, when a white man behaves improperly in Nigeria, people often jump to the erroneous conclusion that “See what our colonial masters are doing”
Take the case of the Dutch man who threw a big stone at the windscreen of a car being driven by a tv producer en route to the Niger Delta a couple of weeks ago. The stone thrower was a Dutch man but the local people who spoke to me were convinced that the man “is white and Oyinbo”
I said, “So what then, if he is white?”.
“He’s an Oyinbo man,” they chanted.
“What do you mean that he’s an Oyinbo man. Are you saying that he’s British?”
“Baba, the man is white. He has to be British,” they chanted.
“Why are you talking like this? The British were not responsible for the deaths of Saro-Wiwa and 8 Ogoni people in 1995. So, please be careful what you say about the British,” I said
“That’s true. Saro-Wiwa and others were hanged during Abacha dictatorship,” a 30-something year old fellow, replied.
“But what want you to bear in mind is the fact that the Dutch Shell Company, was the immediate source of Saro-Wiwa’s extrajudicial killing,” I said.
“Baba, you are right. In this country we think that every white man is British. We don’t think that a whiteman can be Dutch, German, French, Belgian or whatever. We always assume that every white person is British. The way we think is not right. We are judging the British and condemning them. But they are not the ones we should be condemning,” a school teacher in the crowd reasoned.
The Dutch Way
Holland is a country of some 22 million people. The country hosts the War Crimes Tribunal. It also hosts the International Court of Justice. Holland or the Netherlands is a Founding Member of the European Economic Community.
Following the inauguration of Barack Obama as the President of the United States, Dr Peter Balkenende, the Premier-Minister of the Netherlands visited the White House.
Mr. Balkenende asked Mr. Obama if he would station a sort of International Commission to deal with nuclear war threats from rogue state, such as Iran and North Korea, in the Netherlands.
Mr. Barack Obama is fully aware of the harm done to Humanity by the Dutch apartheid system of law – the system of law that was used to imprison Mr. Nelson Mandela. He is also aware of the danger to harmonious race relations within the United States posed by the Ku Klux Klan – another Dutch creation.
Mr. Barack Obama had no choice but to decline.
When one takes a look at the legal system of the Netherlands, and the way that many in the country relate to foreigners, one would naturally conclude that the Dutch system of government has no respect for Blacks and Asians.
The Dutch system of government does not accommodate fairness of procedures and it does not accommodate tolerance of non-whites. [For a further discussion of these issues, I would recommend my book – LIBERAL ESSAYS ON HUMAN RIGHTS – published by CENTRE FOR COMMUNITY STUDIES 2004]
The Federal Government of Nigeria
The Federation of Nigeria has a wide range of problems. Nigeria is a country without any viable system of local, central, regional or federal administration.
The purpose of a government anywhere in this world is PEOPLE PROMOTION. As I have written elsewhere, this purpose is the same as in the game of chess.
The pawns or foot soldiers on the chess board are not meant to be killed off. They are meant to be protected by their King, Queen, Bishop, Knight, and Castle, so that individual pawns can reach the other end, and so that those pawns that make it to the other end can become part of the government.
The Federal government of Dr Goodluck Jonathan is very weak. Nigeria is not hospitable to her own people. Passport photograph size African countries have overtaken Nigeria in terms of public administration and good governance. Nigeria is a mess.
The Dutch know just how weak Nigeria is, as a nation and they are gradually dismantling the excellent foundation laid by the British government during the colonial era, which lasted 85 years.
A country of 22 million people is trying to control a country of 150 million people. The Dutch Immigration dumps thousands of Black people on the Nigerian soil, every year. Most of the Blacks who are dumped on the Nigerian soil, are not Nigerians. Yet, the Nigeria Immigration Service is complicit in this trafficking in humans. It is quite clear that Nigeria Immigration officers at Ikeja and in the Ikoyi HQ of the Service, are on the payroll of the Dutch.
We have Ms MARGARET I. IGBINABARO of the Embassy of Nigeria in Den Haag, taking bribes from the Dutch and selling same to Dutch Immigration Officers.
All of these things do not speak well of the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The Dutch are running a WHITES ONLY hotel in Ikoyi. Black people are not allowed to enter. Even if they enter, they would not be served. This is the same sort of thing that the Dutch did in South Africa.
Last week, the Dutch embarked on a housing programme in Agbara, What are they going to do next? Recently Wikileaks revealed that the Dutch have Nigerians working for them in government offices; simply collecting information about the government.
Nigeria should feel ashamed that a country of 22 million people is riding roughshod over a country of 150 million.
Nigeria has no effective defence system. People in power are busy embezzling funds or just laundering money.For how much longer could the Dutch ride roughshod over Nigeria and Nigerians?
Your guess is as good as ours
