A former minister in India, Ravi Naik, has asked his country’s authorities to impose a ban on Nigerians.
The Times of India reports that Naik made this statement at a press conference.
He refered to Nigerians as “negroes”, saying India does not need Nigerians because “they create problems everywhere”
He said:
“Even the Aam Aami Party leaders had a fight with Nigerians in Bengaluru”
“They create problems everywhere… We do not want Nigerian tourists.”
He accused some Nigerians in Goa, a state in the Asian country, of masquerading as students, demanding a probe into their activities.
However, Goa spokesman, Kiran Kandolkar has demanded an apology from Naik over the controversial statement saying the comments were insulting and unnecessary.
