In the following video that has gone viral on the Internet, Lawal lashed out at Chinese officials for discriminating against Nigerians by singling them out for quarantine and illegally seizing their passports.

Razaq Lawal:
Give me all the Nigerian passports. How many? I have three here. One… How many?
(For Nigerian who just arrived in China,) 14 days is acceptable by us. Another 14 days, you didn’t communicate to us that you are going to do another 14 days after 14 days.
They’re testing negative and then they’re giving them the paper. Why they are giving them another 14 days? That’s one.

Two, all you police, remember, this passport belongs to the federal government of Nigeria. In line with international practice, no country has the right to seize the international passport of another country. I just took it back from them, after they seized it.

Man: I know, you have that.

Razaq Lawal:
Why are they seizing Nigerian passports? It does not belong to China. If you seize a Nigerian passport, it’s like you’re seizing Nigeria as a whole. It is not acceptable.

The third one I’m going to tell you, you didn’t communicate to us that you’re going to all the Nigerian houses, and them you are going to ask them to come out and go quarantine them.
Did you communicate us? No. Nobody communicate us.

If you want to fo your policy of 14 days, then shut down everybody! don’t discriminate. Everybody—including you, as the director. Everybody you see as whole! That is exactly what Nigeria did.

Nigeria shut everything sown! Nobody moves.

We didn’t say only Nigerians should go to work while the Chinese are quarantined. No! Everybody.

The next day, Femi Gbajabiamila, Nigeria’s speaker in the House of Representatives, posted a video of him pressing the Chinese ambassador on the issue on Twitter.

“It’s almost undiplomatic the way I’m talking, but it’s because I’m upset about what’s going on,” Femi Gbajabiamila says.

Nigerian Foreign Minister Geoffrey Onyeama also summoned the Chinese ambassador to express “extreme concern” and call for an immediate government response.

The city of Guangzhou has the largest African migrant population in Asia. Most of them were attracted by business opportunities in Guangzhou as it is a major center for the purchase of cheap knockoff goods to be exported to Africa. Some others attend universities in Guangzhou.

According to official data released during the Ebola outbreak in 2014 to address public concerns, there were 16,000 Africans including North Africans residing in Guangzhou. Among them 4,000 were long term residents.
