What should have been a moment of gratitude turned into a nightmare — one that has shaken many Nigerians and forced the country to confront a painful question: Is it still safe to do good in Nigeria? In a development that has drawn nationwide attention, the Nigeria Police Force has removed and sanctioned a Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in Delta State who was allegedly involved in accusing a good Samaritan of murder after he tried to save a dying man. The decision follows days of public outrage, emotional testimonies, and intense pressure on social media. For many Nigerians, this case cuts deep — because it could have been anyone . A Simple Act of Kindness According to reports, Tomi Akporoghene Wojuola was going about his day when he encountered a man who suddenly collapsed by the roadside in Asaba .

Title: Nigerians in China Protest 'Very Appalling' Acts by Fellow Citizens

-

In a rare show of unity and responsibility, members of the Nigerian community in Guangzhou, China, have staged a peaceful protest against the misconduct of some of their fellow compatriots. The demonstration was sparked by a growing number of incidents involving violence, fraud, and disruptive behavior linked to a few Nigerians living in the Asian country.


The protesters, made up of professionals, students, and business owners, expressed deep concern over the damaging impact such actions are having on the collective reputation of Nigerians abroad. According to community leaders, the bad conduct of a few individuals is creating negative stereotypes that affect the entire Nigerian diaspora, leading to increased scrutiny, stigmatization, and in some cases, deportation.


During the protest, banners and placards carried strong messages urging fellow Nigerians to abide by local laws, respect Chinese culture, and conduct themselves with dignity. Many of the demonstrators emphasized that while they have worked hard to build trust and positive relationships with their host communities, these efforts are being threatened by the reckless behavior of a minority.


One protester remarked, “We are here to show that the majority of Nigerians are honest, hardworking people. The shameful acts of a few should not define us all.”


This public stance marks a significant step for diaspora accountability, highlighting a growing awareness among Nigerians abroad of the importance of self-regulation and image protection. It also signals to authorities—both Nigerian and Chinese—that the community is willing to take proactive steps to preserve its integrity.


The protest serves as a powerful reminder that national identity follows individuals wherever they go, and every citizen has a role to play in upholding the reputation of their homeland. As the world becomes more interconnected, such responsible actions by diasporas can help shape global perceptions and foster international respect.
