Getting rid of Nigerians

[orochi]

How do you get rid of those nigerian dudes who always harass you as you walk around either kabukicho or roppongi? I hate it when they walk up to you and act like you're buddies. How do you get them to scram and better yet, how do you get them to never come up to you?

[ninja_k]

a.) pick a really really obscure language (they'll know most of the basics) and spout that
b.) bring a hot girl with you. They left me and my gf alone for a whopping hour before they started harassing us... nothing like having them say "Come'on, you wanna see some titties"...

oh well.

my favorites

for the nigerians, look them dead in the eye and say very evenly "I'M GAY." they are actually speechless, it's wonderful.

for the ladies of the night, use your own approach here but basically when they tell you how much or after you ask how much, say in english or japanese or just manage to express "wow, you'll pay me that much for f*** you?" they really don't like it. note i only do this to the pushy ones that follow and annoy me when i'm clearly not interested. if they're nice, i'm nice. please treat polite prostitutes politely.

Yes, in a few areas. They are the scum of the earth, my friend, the absolute scum of the earth.

[Sengoku]

Orochi, just lift up your arm and I am sure even the Nigerians will start running away...

[gyakuzuki]

How do you say "fvck off" in French?

[Apocalypse]

"f*** off"= "Casse-toi" but don't ask me the pronunciation...

[Sengoku]

Gyakuzuki, you are so dumb that it is embarrassing for me to even read your post. Why would you need to know French to communicate with Nigerians? Nigeria was a British Crown colony, you (didn't) know.

[VB]

Don't go to losers Roppongi in the 1st place.

As for Kabukicho, do you really like Kabuki?

[privileged]

i retract my previous answer. it's actually better to listen to them and do whatever they say. they know all the sweetest clubs and will HOOK YOU UP with all you can drink AND GIRLS!!!

Japan becoming 'paradise' to growing numbers of Nigerians

About five or six years ago, black men, who described themselves, to anyone who enquired, as "American," began appearing on the streets of Kabukicho, working as touts for topless bars and casinos.

Actually, reports Tokusatsu Shinsengumi (1/7), they were Nigerians, and groups of them can now be found each night not only in Tokyo's major drinking areas, but in neighboring Yokohama and Saitama as well.

With a population of some 135 million in a land area roughly 2.5 times that of Japan, Nigeria is the world's ninth most densely populated country, with roughly 20 percent of Africa's population south of the Sahara.

"It's a big country with all kinds of people," says a Nigerian bar operator in Kabukicho. "They can't make it to Japan without having at least some money. Many people in other parts of Africa don't have enough to buy a ticket."

Nigerians in Japan toil at a wide variety of occupations: as construction workers; painters; in auto junkyards; and in the service sector. But as many speak English, they find work in entertainment areas. Some come to Japan following the footsteps of other relatives, who send them money for their journey.

It's not only the desire for money that brings them to Japan. Although life for many in Nigeria is comparatively better than for those in other African countries, Tokusatsu Shinsengumi describes the worsening political and economic conditions that are driving young Nigerians to increasingly desperate measures: severe urban congestion that puts further pressure on a deteriorating, overburdened infrastructure and high unemployment, even among the educated classes. As a result, more have turned to such activities as drug smuggling, human trafficking and Internet fraud.

"The ongoing economic stagnation is also leading to a breakdown in public safety, with serious crimes such as burglary, rape, fraud, armed robbery and physical assault becoming increasingly commonplace," says a source at the Japanese embassy in Lagos. "At the same time, the country's Christian-Muslim religious conflicts and traditional tribal rivalries are unlikely to diminish."

A source in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was even more negative.

"The country's workers have been organizing frequent strikes to demand higher wage levels and improved work conditions. Over the long run, we can't rule out the possibility of large-scale unrest."

These problems have been festering since the country's independence from Great Britain in 1960, and exacerbated by civil war a decade later, when the Ibo tribe established the short-lived nation of Biafra in a failed attempt to secede. Subsequent to that, Nigeria has undergone no fewer than seven coup d'etats.

Faced with such difficulties at home, it's hardly surprising that Nigerians regard Japan as a "paradise."

"We've suffered due to the civil unrest," says a Nigerian automobile broker who came to Japan 10 years ago. "We're willing to do anything to stay alive. There's no reason why we shouldn't prey upon Japanese, who lack the slightest sense of caution."

The number of Nigerians in Japan has increased rapidly, with 958 registering as residents in 2003, compared to just 193 who did so in 1990. Many of the arrivals to Japan had first illegally entered the Netherlands, France, Spain and other European countries, after which they either acquired international refugee documents or some European nationality. With passports issued by an EU country, they could enter Japan for up to 90 days without a visa. Then the would either overstay the permitted duration or marry a Japanese woman, giving them resident status.

According to immigration statistics, Nigerians are presently the most numerous of all African nationalities in Japan, with 2,405 registered as residents enjoying legal status. The breakdown includes 706 with spouse visas, 578 permanent residents, 10 who are spouses of permanent residents and 748 on short-term status. But if illegal sojourners and those who entered the country on forged passports, etc., are included, Tokusatsu Shinsengumi supposes the figure may be considerably higher.

"I picked up a Japanese woman on the street and was able to get her to marry me right away," boasts a Nigerian street tout who said he's been in Japan for eight years. "It's my ticket to stay in Japan."

Another common approach is to meet young women in foreigners clubs and discos in Roppongi or Akasaka and get them pregnant, the aim being marriage and legal resident status. There is even a site now on the Internet for Japanese women married to Nigerians that provides information on recipes for traditional foods, culture and customs, as well as offering a forum for airing concerns.

In the case of one couple, this concern involved a Nigerian husband who, in August 2001 was charged with forcing his Japanese wife to smuggle 7.7 kilograms of hashish into the country.

Their status as spouses of Japanese women stands as the main reason why the Japanese police are reluctant to roust Nigerian street touts in Kabukicho and Roppongi, the magazine suggests.

This presence has also resulted in Nigerian crime syndicates moving into Japan and setting down roots, which may transform Nippon into the organization's base of operations in the Far East. Tokusatsu Shinsengumi promises to provide more revelations in a second installment.

Although the Iranians are still here (albeit in lower concentrations), Nigerians are the new immigrant scum of Japan. Several years ago, they were primarily in Tokyo, Osaka but can now be found in all provincial cities like Nagoya.

And, of the course the Paki's are very active in the used car and used car part business -- bought for export to Dubai and Africa. Because of the volume of cash transactions, the businesses themselves are extremely convenient "sinks" for Al Queda-backed money laundering. "Convenient" as Jap authorities are painfully blind, deaf &% dumb and any mention of this connection will bring up screams of RACISM RACISM! from the Pakis.

[Rudd-Crunch]

Not all the Nigerians are bad. Got a mate who runs a totally legitimate bar near where I live and a very cool guy. That being said, Roppongi and Kabuki-cho guys can be a pain in the arse. I normally just tell them I'm going to a meeting (which is totally believable because there's no way I'd be seen dead in either of those places on a Friday or Saturday night) and they lose interest pretty much straight away. Another way is to get your phone out and pretend to be talking to somebody as you walk down the road, which renders you completely invisible. My favourite which not everybody can do is to switch my eyes on which projects an aura of "get the fuck out of my face fuckflaps!" and nobody'll come near you as they believe they would be in physical danger by doing so (even from a short unthreatening guy like myself).

Did have one guy up to me the other week though while I was waiting for somebody, to tell me how amazingly great my coat was. It was indeed an amazingly great coat, so this was a more welcome intrusion into my private space.

[Manjiro]

just turn the tables on the them. as soon as they approach you start telling them about this great place that you know where all the girls are hot, have big tits and will sleep with you for 500 yen. then if they still dont leave start asking them for some money.

[Sengoku]

Ghana was also a British colony.

[quiktake]

I just start talking back to them in fluent west African pidgen learned in the Peace Corps. It is great fun knowing you can cuss someone out using the native language...

[Sengoku]

Fluent in Pidgen after two years? Good show!

[King Louis]

Are they really that bad? I've always found them to be friendly and not too pushy.

[ficerarmer]

Nigerians are hilarious. Next time you meet one, hand him a coke bottle with a pop top and watch him crack that f*** open with his teeth. It's like whoah.

[ninja_k]

maybe you are just a more tolerant man?

me? no way.

They have a tough life and get shit from everyone so I'm always friendly and stop and chat if I have time. I'd never go anywhere with them (in Kabukicho), heard too many stories about shitty clubs with a couple of fat bored strippers, or 100,000 yen bills after 2 hours.

[NorthernRider]

judge them like all human beings>>>if they are a good dude take their advice and have the best night evar (MY EXPERIENCE)>>>if they are a fvckhed>>>ignore!!

[quiktake]

Agreed!

Aggressive Nigerians are bad and should not be encouraged in any way.

Laid back Nigerians, are very cool. They are probably some of the friendliest and kindest people you can meet in the world. But if you feel any leeching or start to hear any questions about a Visa to America/UK/etc, blow them off. They are probably not worth the time.

This is speaking from experience by the way...

Welcome to Big Daikon. Please enjoy the new arse you will have installed very soon.

[gww2]

Excuse me, but they're not Nigerian. They're from New York.

[morbid]

This is like the Germans telling the Irish to get out of NYC in the 1920's.

Have we really come that far?
