I bet she has a Brittish passport than so she's not a Nigerian.

 

But i wouldn't be surprised if Thailand just bans all Nigerians soon. 

Let's hope so.

Is hé Nigérian ? With the huge African populations in Bangkok, surely the police have interpreters? They all seem to be in one area of Bangkok that has a street market at night, can't remember where it was , but I was really surprised to see so many Africans obviously living and working there. Do they get easy visas or what ?

I don't think the textile traders will be hoping for that and I somehow think that their many thousands of buyers might just be considered a little bit more important than a farang who is miffed at seeing a handful of drug dealers hanging out near their favourite girly bar.

In my whole life i have never ever read any positive news about Nigerians. Are they all so bad?

 

No. I just met one in Manila. A beautiful award winning, actress and film director. Smart, good looking, honest and very chic. I should not go on, but I am truly grateful, but probalby not in the race. Anyway in answer to your question. NO.

There has been a large Nigerian population in Bangkok since the early 80's, many have citizenship, Nigeria is one of Thailands most important trade partners, they buy a large percentage of the rice as well as textiles, a lot of the Nigerians you see are traders, the few hanging out in Sukumvit are often people who came here hoping to do trade but failed and got lured into the drugs business.

Why is one policeman wearing a bulletproof vest and the other one not? Do they have to share 1 vest?

 

Yep, works like this : if there's a mad shooter in the vicinity, the one with the vest is supposed to quickly place himself between the shooter and the cop without the vest. Takes some rehearsing though, but hey, humans can achieve amazing things when they set their minds to it and exercise regularly.

On closer inspection it looks like it may be a stab vest rather than bulletproof. 

 

If you are dealing with a crazed individual who has chosen to lie down in the middle of the road then it is probably quite a wise precaution! 

 

I never heard of a stabvest, we call them leather jackets. 

 

If i was a policeman and had to deal with a crazy dangerous person i wouldn't touch him at all or even come near him. My gun and mouth would do all the work untill i could easy put the handcuffs on while he was laying  on the floor.

A shame about the racist comments made by the usual ignorant suspects.

Is saying something disparaging about a Nigerian qualify as a "racist" comment? 

 

Is Nigerian its own "race"?

 

Will the PC Brigade ever stop?

The racists in this place ... sickening.

A guy loses his marbles, and because he is black ... you really sink the boot in, with your references to slavery as well.

The moderators must be with you, as they have selectively allow the racist flag to fly.

Shame on all of you.

"They could only determine that he was from Nigeria."

 

Who wants a bet this is wrong also!

 

Black man = African

Africa = ?????????

OK = We haven't a clue, Somchai where was that black man from you arrested last week?

Somchai Nigeria.

That'll do!

He has a six pack abs, but boobs bigger than an average thai girl.

Sounds to me like the example of the typical Thai dog.  I've always wondered if lying in the middle of the street is learned from the soi dogs or the dogs learn their lazy unbelievable behavior from the locals. Maybe this guy imagined he was just another Thai dog!

It is not only PC to show disdain for bigotry, it is also morally correct, so in answer to your question, no, people will never stop having morals, and it is the racists that will die out not being unprejudiced which is a growing movement that is expanding in line with increasing levels of education and intelligence

 

To clear up your lame attempt to avoid racism being called racism, take a look at the definition.

 

"The international definition of racial discrimination is contained in Article 1 of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD). It states that 'the term 'racial discrimination' shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life'."

The comments above being well within this definition of racism as it is defined by the UN.

Did the Thai authority ask themselves what a Nigerian guy is staying and what is he doing outside Bangkok? A higher quality tourist?

Honestly. How on earth were they only able to determine he was from Nigeria? He could be from Hati, Jamaica or Baltimore.

Indeed. 

 

Mentally ill and in need of help and one poster even called the unfortunate man "trash".

Surprised they 'swerved around him'.  Guess no one was in a hurry!

there are 18 psychiatric hospitals in Thailand, unsurprisingly all of them having psychiatrists working in them.

BS. None of the comments above have the effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life of this unfortunately nutty Nigerian.

They are in the main JOKES.

I recognize racism when I see it (and it happens enough on TV for sure - usually anti-Thai racism) but I don't seriously see it here (maybe one or two a bit iffy). But nobody said that all Nigerians are always sleeping in the middle of the road. ??? do they?

For me; and most here, sleeping/lying in the middle of the road is an amusing (if tragic) occurrence. The poor guy does not look hurt in any way and will at least get some treatment in Thailand, even if it is just a sobering-up.

I though he was displaying a very large foreskin piercing, is that racist? Should I have said a very small (Thai size) piercing? Golly no, that would be racist.

And if you think I actually am a racist, come round and ask my 3 black (according to the locals) Thai kids what they think.

I do love that headline though:

 

Crazed and on the Loose" !
