Pubs bar African nationals in Bangalore

[takeiteasy]

Pubs and bars in Bangalore are denying entry to nationals from Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania and other African countries citing security reasons, as the common belief is that all ebony-skinned people are 'drug peddlers', 'scamsters' and 'trouble makers'. Bangalore has a sizeable student populat ion from the African continent - 20-somethings from countries as diverse as Cameroon and Nigeria, Ghana and Tanzania. However, at most of the city's hep clubs, all dark-skinned people are strangely 'Nigerians' and to be avoided, though they don't say it out aloud.

At most of these bars and pubs, blacks are generally frowned upon. In most cases, a group of black males, unaccompanied by women gets responses varying from a polite - "sorry, prior reservation needed" to the outright rude - "please leave".

At one of the sports bars, which had the most number of complaints, the head of marketing said it was "security reasons" and not racism that made them discourage blacks from coming. Besides, the bar's other clients were uncomfortable with black-skinned people around, he said.

One of the local papers carried out a sting operation in four of the city's major hotspots - Xtreme Sports Bar, Indiranagar, Athena, The Leela Palace Time, Xtreme Sports Bar, Kammanhalli Main Rd and Fusion Lounge, Brigade Road and found that Afro-nationals were indeed not allowed in by the officials citing varied reasons like "private party" and "stags not allowed".

Perhaps the African students should get recommendation letters from barbarian oobambam!

Yes the nigerians are presumed to be the drug peddlers in Goa and they are

 

[PlanetWarrior]

That is an absurd statement to make. Are all the Indians in Australia out there to open up sari shops in the corner flea markets??? Some of the most eminent academics and legitimate businesspeople in the world today are Nigerians so let's not generalise because of a few rotten eggs from that community.

The attitude by the Bangalore pub industry is nothing short of racism. Indians are welcomed in Africa and are treated like brothers and sisters. I hope that this racist mindset is changed

not only did my friends bought drugs off them but also hung out with them and all of their friends, got to know the inner workings of their drug network. And these Nigerians told my friends that most Nigerians in Goa are their to specifically to sell drugs... My friends still got their phone number next time they go to Goa and wanna score some gear!!

Nigerians have opened up a drug cartel not only in Bangalore, but in Pune and other hep towns of India.

They are quite a menace.

So many are apprehended at the customs!

Therefore, it is not a question of racism!

Previously you said all Nigerians are in Goa to sell drugs. Now you say most Nigerians are in Goa to sell drugs. Can we just agree that some Nigerians maybe in Goa to sell drugs? In that way it will pan out as I am certain that you cannot disagree with me that some Indians are in Melbourne to sell mandrax ?

[somebozo]

Looks like the african block went too far in celerbation recent India-Africa events!

 

[manishmaithani]

Seems Racism. It is not Possible that all the nigerians are drug peddlers and rather than capture real peddlers these pubs guy blaming whole community. These pubs should be ban and their owner should be behind the bar.

 

[Tiki Tam Tam]

Nigerians selling drugs is an international problem.

So perhaps you should declare the whole of Africa or all Africans to be personae non grata to India. In that way you get to keep your alleged "Pakistani terrorist", "Bangladeshi smugglers" and "Sri Lankan mass murderers" tourists to India. No, guess only those brothers of yours should be welcomed. The only Black Africans who visit India are drug dealers and they are now the boogeyman. Perhaps we should send our big businesses out of Africa whilst we are at it since they may just get corrupted by all these drug dealing Black Africans!
