A former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has reacted
angrily to the reported mistreatment of Nigerians and citizens of other African
countries by Polish and Ukrainian authorities.
There are reports that Poland and the other European nations
that border Ukraine are not allowing Africans into their countries.
They are said to be only willing to open their doors to
fleeing Ukrainians, Indians, Arabs and other nationals to take refuge in their
country.
Right now, there are hundreds of African students stranded
on the Polish border.
The Ukrainians themselves are said to be stopping Africans
to board the free trains that they provided for people.
“That is how low down the ladder Africans are now; it is so
sad & I am glad that the BBC has reported it,” the former minister tweeted.
“Treating Nigerians and other Africans with such contempt is
unacceptable. Do our people not have the right to flee from Russian bombs and
carnage too & save their lives? This is nothing but pure racism and it is
evil.
“Even when they are fighting and people are dying, the
Europeans are still denying some people access to their borders simply because
of their skin color. How wicked can they be?
“Where are all the pro-Ukrainian Nigerian and African voices
now?” He queried.
War began in Ukraine on Thursday and has entered the fourth
day after President Vladimir Putin ordered his army to invade their neighbours
over some political issues.
