This annoys me to my bone marrow, hence I decided to share this unfortunate news with Naija pals.
German unleashes dog on Nigerian security guard

WARRI-NIGERIAN workers of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, Ekpan, near Warri, Delta State, have protested alleged persecution and prejudice against them by a German official of the company, who directed that low-grade black workers should not have a canteen on the company's premises.
A Warri-based rights group, the Human Rights Defenders Organization of Nigeria, HURDON, had on June 14, petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, IGP, over an attempted murder, intimidation and racial discrimination against Nigerians working in the firm, by the German official.
The workers alleged that the expatriate ordered the demolition of the junior workers' canteen because of his hatred for blacks and gave them un unkempt Caravan after their protest, which they rejected, insisting that they should be treated as human beings. The German official declined to speak to Vanguard when contacted for comments, but HURDON, in the petition, jointly signed by its national chairman and national secretary, Sir Casely Omon-Irabor and Felix Odogu, said the expatriate "created a special canteen for the whites only and other amenities for white only" and also "gave strict instruction that no black should be seen around these areas".
According to the group, a 45-year-old Nigerian security guard, employed by an independent contractor, Mr. Ohare Anthony, who was oblivious of the segregation rule, walked close to the canteen meant for whites alone while on patrol, and unfortunately for the black man, the German national saw him and allegedly unleashed his Alsatian dog on him.
He said that when the dog wrestled Mr. Anthony to the ground and sank its teeth into his flesh, the official, who had earlier brought out his pistol to further intimidate him, packeted it and left with the dog after inflicting injury on the worker.
"Mr. Anthony was treated and discharged from the hospital and he has been under the threat of losing his job since the incident until finally when he was brought to our office to lodge this complaint. We call on you to use your good offices to investigate this man and let the appropriate action be taken against him if the allegation is proved", the group told the IGP.

First, Kudos and many thanks to Human Rights Defenders Organization of Nigeria. Living in Germany, I know that Germans are scared of associations. In NP, we must advise ourselves and learn, I suggest that it's high time the learned and educated minds (especially overseas educated Nigerians) in Julius Berger should form a FORMIDABLE union, and many Nigerians should be interested in associations to fight a common course against this type of marginalization, abuse of our rights and privileges us on our soil, debasing our dignity, etc. And many Human Rights Associations should join hands against the foreign and local firms on human rights.
Showing the Germans and other abusive foreigners on television, radio, newspapers, etc. would force their home government to intervene and redress these issues.
It's to my surprise that most NPs here did not know what and how to address these issues, hence I see no contribution through postings. SUCH RELATED ISSUES ARE VERY SERIOUS AND MAY DAMPEN THE COURAGE AND CIVILITY OF NIGERIANS IF NOT WELL CHECKED BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.
WE DO NOT NEED GOVERNMENT TO DO THESE THINGS BUT "WE" LEAD, GOVERNMENT FOLLOW. We must channel our course ceaselessly and incorruptibly to those in highbrow offices before they act.

Form incorruptible Unions, Associations and Groups against Racism, Intimidation and Marginalization. Any foreigner who offends must not only be deported, but his last month salary must be for the union, if the court found him guilty. We must prosecute whoever that is accused, even if we do not win the case, but the stress must be down felt by the culprit before judgement. It will add respect and dignity to Nigerians.
