As mismanaged as Nigeria is, people are legitimately still surviving and succeeding in Nigeria. I[b]s Nigeria such a hell on earth that we would rather [/b]be clubbed to death like poisonous snakes on the streets of South Africa??? Please my people come home. You can legitimately survive and succeed here also.

Create Job for them, their needs too so they can be independent and they'll come back home..... I want them to come home too... But I don't want them to turn thieves, kidnappers and drug dealers just cus they want to survive... So Govt should do the needful, You can't just tell them to come back home and u expect them to come running like dogs with their tongue sticking out....

Meanwhile Obanikoro the emergency minister of state for defence is tweeting no Nigerian has been affected as gathered from the SA authorities.

You dont know what is happening. Watch the videos. Poverty is better than death at least there is hope when there is life!

I've not been myself since i saw one video on someone's phone. A full grown Nigerian woman, stripped completely lying in the middle of the road, they use full block (building block) to hit her repeatedly like the Aluu treatment, people jumping on her head, kicking her oh Lord embarassed cry cry cry cry cry.

That's a very good step and what FG should do but am wondering if most Nigerians in SA are willing to Come baCk home??
For those coming back, What adequate provisions and welfare package does the FG have for them here in Nigeria?... Its not Just evacuating them to naija and leaving them stranded with nothing doing here...

The same "adequate provisions and welfare package" people living in Nigeria are enjoying, or they can stay in SA and get killed/maimed, its their choice!

honestly
i don't know the hush about south africa. i think we need to develop our own country and make it admirable to other africans, rather than this humiliation from these zulu gambaris.

i think they took time to build their country to the taste of foreigners.

we can as well do it, thaz why i represent CHANGE

Our leaders have failed us.

Does anyone see the things we toy with when we let our rulers say evil things against other ethnicities?

We narrowly escaped something like this during the elections when the threat was made to a major tribe.

We should be thankful that God got to us just in time.

They have families to support them. That is the Nigerian way. Nobody sits his lazy ass waiting for government to support him. Government won't do anything for them. Securing their lives is enough.

The people carrying out these attacks do not care one bit about Mtn and shoprite cos they benefit nothing from those companies. They are the poorest of the poor. The issue is that their country has failed them but since they are too cowardly to fight their own government, they blame and take it out on foreigners.

In addition ban all South African artists scheduled to perform any where in Africa and all SA workers and send them back home to SA

Those Nigerians in south Africa would never return to Nigeria. One thing I love about we Nigerians is our survival instincts, we can survive anything anywhere anyday anytime anyhow... Cos any wich way na way

Sometimes you should read news online. Google and you'll see stories of everyday suffering Nigerians go through in foreign countries in the name of survival. They die and are subjected to all forms of abuse, insult and pain. It's not survival. It's foolishness. A typical southern Nigerian would prefer to pack shit in south Africa than drive an air conditioned cab in Nigeria. Why? Just because he wants to brag that he's living in south Africa. Once again it's not survival... It's foolishness.

What south African's don't know is if all foreigners should leave they can't sustain their economy and the nation may collapse

I don't understand Instead of supporting the call to evacuate Nigeria you are here lamenting about SA economy?

South Africans started this so whatever happens to our economy should not be worrying you but will give some good lessons to us.

The sad thing is that south Africa is not better than Nigeria. True they have a few beautiful cities but the majority of their citizens live so far below the poverty line. The root cause of these attacks is poverty. Only a few people are middle class in SA. I wonder why Nigerians go there and suffer hardship plus humiliation. There are beta opportunities here. I'm yet to see a Nigerian guy that made money and came back home with it from south Africa. They're always returning with poverty and lamenting about how government seized their properties and stuffs.

Why should government prepare any package? Is saving their lives from South African savages not enough? Did anyone force em to go to southafrica? Once they repatriate them and delivered home safely, government should also find a way of protecting their properties over there.. That's the best package there is. The ones that want to die there should stay.
