The “second-class” citizen nature of Nigerians living in India was again brought to the fore this week after the police in Vashi, Mumbai, failed to register any complaint against a mob of over 100 people who nearly lynched Onouha Lucky.
Capture
The mob attack on 24-year-old Nigerian occurred after he had a petty squabble over N13 (about Rs5) with a shoeshine vendor.
Lucky asked the cobbler, identified as Sheshrao Purbe, to polish his shoes.
Purbe narrated that he usually charged N26 (about Rs 10), but the Nigerian threw Rs 5 at him.
This led to an argument and Purbe was punched hard on his face. The fight between the two soon attracted a crowd and a mob surrounded the alien.
The angry mob started slapping and punching Lucky. He ran into the Vashi railway station and hid himself in a foodstall to save himself from being lynched. However, he had been spotted by someone, and the mob continued beating Lucky for about 15 minutes before the police rescued him.
The embattled Nigerian was sent to 2-week custody on Tuesday for assaulting the cobbler but the police failed to register any complaint against the mob of over 100 people who had attacked the Nigerian.
“Although it was wrong on part of the Nigerian to hit the cobbler, it was equally wrong on part of the mob to badly beat up the Nigerian and tear his clothes. Therefore, he too has the right to lodge a complaint against the mob, but Vashi police has not done so,” RTI activist and lawyer, Vinod Gangwal, commented.
It would be noted that the Times of India (TOI) photographer, K K Choudhary, was attacked by a few persons from the same mob which was hitting the Nigerian, as they were afraid that their illegal act would be caught on camera and published in the newspaper.
Meanwhile, the cobbler, Purbe, told TOI that the municipal hospital at Vashi have recommended an X-ray of his three front teeth which were affected after he was punched by the Nigerian.
Purbe’s medical report states that his front teeth are showing ‘Grade 1 mobility’ (slight loosening due to the fight).
It would be recalled that another act of discrimination against Nigerians in India took place about one and a half months ago, as Nigerian was beaten in Goa.

This is What Happens to Your P*nis after You Take Viagra
Dailystar has published the recent study how Viagra works in the body of a man. Since it became available back in 1998, Viagra has helped to save the s*x lives of millions of men suffering from erectile dysfunction. And while we all know guys take Viagra to get an erection, you might not know what the drug really does to your tackle or how long the effects can last. A recent study by Superdrug looked into the effects of sildenafil – which is the medical term for the erectile dysfunction drug – to see how men reacted in the first 24 hours after taking it. Here’s what happens: First 12 minutes Viagra is quickly absorbed by the body and some men with erectile dysfunction can get an erection just 12 minutes after gobbling the meds. 27 minutes If it hasn’t happened for you in the first 12, then you’re probably going to get hard within the first half an hour. Researchers found that the average response time to Viagra was just 27 minutes – even tho...
