Yes, lol, This Morpheaus character, always trips on his own shoelaces, contradictions all the way ha ha

What is contradictory about letting people know Xenophobia is alive and well in SA. I have singing that tune since 2008 and have been vindicated.

Simple because your government managed to sweep it under the rug for the time being doesn't mean its gone. Root causes haven't been dealt with and until then

#SayNoToSouthAfricaPhobia, in fact.

What you are fighting against is Morpheus phobia cause that's what you experienced when you were in SA.

You are like a guy who practises misogyny, who is then surprised when women reject him. The more he fails to score a girlfriend, the more he hates women, the more the women keep rejecting him. Its a cycle, my friend. You are frustrated and are a victim, but you have yourself to blame for that.

If you were truly fighting for justice, you'd be fighting against the ills in your own country. But no, you don't care about that. Its SA that you care about, cause they hurt you.

IT can't apply to South Africans. Xenophobia runs in their veins.

Ps...Damn you sound so much like CraigB. Did you guys go to the same school?

Bwahaha, you mean drugLord phobia? Is that what you mean?

Cause you've pretty much accepted that you cant judge people just because they are South African. Your words. Not mine.

Maybe for holiday or maybe for something more. Every country has its own issues. People still go to Libya and Syria because they believe they will make something out of it.

The guys that were giving us useful info and guidelines have all backed down because of you peoples fight.

Sorry.

I had a colleague(lady) I was speaking with last week whose family was also planning a trip and she too was concerned about the recent xenophobic acts and I tried to let her know that social media did exaggerate the issue.

You can travel to South Africa on holiday, nothing will happen to you as long as you do the usual tourist thing. The country likes when you are coming to spend money with them

I would strongly suggest Cape town as your destination because it is a lot more tourist friendly. You will loose a lot of the "African" feel if you do go there.

If you wish to experience a more African vibe then rent a vehicle (if you can drive right hand drive) and make your way to Kruger national park.

If you are coming to South Africa to Hustle, please stay back, you will experience Xenophobia without a doubt.

You are better off then going to the general inquiries Visa to South Africa thread here on the travel section. Lots of info for prospective students who wish to study there.

The OP's circumstances in Nigeria shows that he took a huge risk in relocating to SA and as you know Nigerians are very stubborn, until they see with their eyes. If you warn them, they will say you want to block their progress.

Even if you do finish school there, it is still difficult to come out and get something. The country is experiencing around 36% unemployment rate with the majority unskilled and under skilled making up the bulk. Professionals such as engineers, Doctors and the likes fair better because there is a need for them. All others will struggle for quite a number of years before they find their feet.

South Africa of 2000 is not the same as the one of today. Many social and economic issues are mounting and it is not the el dorado many seem to think it is.

What exactly is the legacy of apartheid and what about it? You just say things because they sound nice. It's been shown already that you know zero about South Africa. Also, the legacy of apartheid is clearly better than the "present and future" of Nigeria, given the movement of refugees from Nigeria to South Africa. You included.

The feebleness that is apparent for all to see is on your side. Even your countrymen have pretty much distanced themselves from you. You are a loner on the thread like you were a loner in South Africa.

You know why you are a loner, my friend? You know why you are rejected both online and offline? You have no ability to attract other human beings. Be it girls, fellow Nigerians or South Africans. You then, having failed to win the other people over, decide you will hate them. But your hate for them simply pushes them further away. This then frustrates you to the point that you become obsessive. You are obsessive about South Africa for this very reason. But you only have yourself to blame for that. You are not a messenger. You are an outcast, my friend. The problem is not with South Africans. The problem is with you.

The South Africans did not reject you because they are bad. They rejected you because you are not wanted by them cause of who what you are. You are correct when you say that character is more important than nationality. Therefore you were not rejected cause you are Nigerian. You were rejected cause you are Morpheus. Again, the SA-SADC thing. Don't jump on it to try and explain your being rejected. You sound like someone who says Tupac was assassinated for political reasons when in fact he was shot because he was mobbing. You were not rejected for anything greater or along those lines. You were rejected because you are simply a reject.

Point 1.......36% when you take Youth unemployment rate( underskilled and unskilled)....... 24 % on aggregate.

Point 2... Please be more original, stop stealing Dievluits Ammo, he has "abandonment" issues.

Point 3......Nigerians do flash expensive cars in front of poor hungry South African, fact.

Nice try

Psycho-analysis of subject Dievluit .... ...Projecting
Key conclusion of subject Dievluit psycho analysis.................Abandonment issues.
Key words to support conclusions of subject Dievluit ...........the key word "Rejected".....used severally in responses (See underlined above)
"Tupac" reference indicates subject relates to this character.... Tupac also experienced abandonment issues specifically, biological father.

Again no matter how hard you try to plant a "counterfeit thought" aka "inception" in weaker minds that read through your rantings about Morpheus, I am too smart for that psychological BS
