Social media activist, VeryDarkMan, has blasted some Igbo traders in Lagos State over their protest against Chinese traders, questioning their demand for the foreigners to leave the market.
The traders had reportedly protested the presence of Chinese traders in some Lagos markets, claiming that the foreigners’ cheaper prices were affecting their businesses.
Reacting to the protest, VeryDarkMan argued that Nigerian traders should focus on improving local production and manufacturing instead of calling for foreign competitors to leave.
He said the traders were failing to keep pace with changes in the global business environment.
“What these guys don’t understand is that the world has advanced, but they didn’t advance with it, and that’s why they have been left behind,” VeryDarkMan said.
He also questioned what would happen if China stopped allowing Nigerians to travel there to meet manufacturers and source goods.
“You’re saying China must leave the market, but what if China says they’re no longer giving Nigerians visas to travel there and meet manufacturers?” he asked.
The social commentator argued that Nigeria’s dependence on imported goods could leave local traders vulnerable when competing with foreign businesses.
“Your market won’t have a market because Nigeria doesn’t produce and manufacture anything. We only import in 2026,” he said.
