Man Explains What The Dubai Building Showing Green-White-Green Color Means, Links It To Hushpuppi

As Nigeria marked her Independence On Thursday 1st Of October, the picture of a building in Dubai has been going round on social media; there were many misconceptions about the picture. To clear the air, a man named Ten Esan took to explaining thoroughly what it means. While explaining, he linked it with the well known arrested social Media personality, Hushpuppi. Below is the explanation given by Ten Esan about the Dubai Building showing green white green below:

"Sadly, not many people know the true story behind the lighting up of the Burj Khalifa by United Arab Emirates (UAE) to celebrate Nigeria’s independence."

"A few months ago, the UAE suspended granting visas to Nigeria (shortly after the arrest of Hushpuppi and co. during Covid lockdowns)."

"For the sake of one criminal and a few miscreants, the UAE made that move unilaterally to discriminate against all Nigerians without consulting with the Nigerian government or considering diplomatic impact. There were also reports of Nigerians being maltreated in the UAE."

Furthermore, Ten Esan explained that, "After lockdowns ended and flight resumed, the UAE reopened its borders to other countries but maintained the visa ban on Nigerians & said nothing about the maltreatment of Nigerians."

"The Nigerian government (much to my surprise) refused to take that insult sitting down. The typically redundant government, swung into action and issued an immediate ban on all Emirates flight from Nigeria (which happens to be the 3rd biggest revenue stream for Emirates airlines)."

Towards the last part of his explanation, Ten Esan said, "From the 23rd of September, the Nigerian government refused to allow any UAE plane touch Nigerian soil. They also ban flights from many other country’s airlines who do not regard Nigerians with the same courtesy that we regard them."

Lastly, he avers that, "Seven days later, the UAE reversed the Visa ban & yesterday announced that they will now allow Nigerians visa access to UAE. This was in the hopes that Nigeria restores Emirates flights. The lighting of Burj Khlaifa was a symbol of goodwill to appease Nigeria. I'm not often proud of the Nigerian government. But on this one, I say kudos. That’s the story behind the lighting of the Burj Khalifa.

Happy Independence Nigeria.
