World Goa minister equates Nigerians to cancer - India.com

[curator]

Panaji: Two days after the Goa government launched a crackdown on the Nigerian nationals illegally living in Goa, a senior state BJP minister on Sunday equated Nigerians as a 'cancer'.

"The Nigerians are like cancer. We are worried what would be the image of Goa for the outside world when the images of Nigerians creating ruckus on the road are showed through television to the world," State Art and Culture Minister Dayanand Mandrekar said.

Around 200 Nigerians had blocked the national highway last week protesting against the drug-related murder of a fellow national. 53 Nigerians had been arrested following the incident.

The minister said that the situations like Nigerians taking on the road will have bad repercussion on the tourism industry of the state on which people from the coastal belt earn their living.

Nigerians are getting popular by the minute, and not for the right reasons. Look at what we are doing in India - later we'll get mad when the stereotypes start coming in.

Goa, India is famous for its tourist attractions, so I believe the minister can be empathized with for being distraught.

Also, I think the descriptive is apt. we are indeed like cancer. Cancerous cells have the nasty habit of spreading far and wide, and so do Nigerians - we're in India for God's sake! O_O and creating chaos like it's our fatherland!
