Na wa o! It really is time we stood up for one another as Nigerians. I'm not surprised this is happening in Spain, one of the most racist nations in Europe, which truthfully is largely xenophobic. Spain, where numerous black professionals from all walks of life, recall various footballers as well, are constantly subjected to the most awful racist abuse. So what if he was in their country illegally, they meted out the treatment they gave him because they felt he was worth that. The time has come for us end the constant denigration of Nigerian and Africans in general. We should ensure that we close down any Spanish business operating in Nigeria, and crash their communication systems with a deluge of emails, letters and what have you. Not by violence means mind you, but by protest and boycott of their products, ala the Danish experience with the wrath of the Arab world on the offensive cartoons published. How much more the death of our compatriot, and a human being.
