You spent the whole week blasting Nigerians and calling them criminals and you say you don't hate Nigerians. That's like burning down a forest of 30,000 trees and saying that you're an environmentalist.

Jayceon:
honesty is not hate

LeSudAfricaine:
thank you Jayceon, this guy is now playing victim. Smh

LeSudAfricaine:
its only okay when you talk shht about my people saying we are suffering from apartheid totally ignoring why those houses were burnt in the first place

LeSudAfricaine:
you people are using nine year olds as prositutes and you have the audacity to blame south africans.

MtuMsuper:

Maybe not in your region, but they certainly do in South Africa. I have seen in Hillbrow Jozi with my own very eyes prostitution rings with 10-11 yr olds, run by Nigerians. How about that?!

JacksonD7:


I am a Nigerian not a criminal, there are millions of Nigerians out there who are respectable honest citizens. If you can say that Nigerians are criminally inclined because you saw a couple crime rings runs by Nigerians in Jo'burg, then we can also conclude that all Italians are criminally inclined because the Italian Mafia exists.

LeSudAfricaine:
Are you kidding me? Not only in my "shallow" mentality. It's how the whole world sees you ,do you live under a rock?

Pidgin2:


Please ignore them, they don't know shame. All they want is for South Africans to keep quiet while watching them commit crime.

You mean your kenyan brothers weren't among the victims cos their names were never mentioned?

AlPeter:
you are Kenya, explains the Stupid.I.ty.

Hbuyosh:
Bro, it's not just in Kenya where that stpid view about Ngrians prevail, it's evrywhere; Asia,Europe, the Americas...Nigerians are viewed with suspicion. Face the fact!

AlPeter:
you are Kenya, explains the Stupid.I.ty.

AlPeter:
I understand that but the stupidi.ty of the kenyan is supporting The attack on innocent NigerianS for the crime of others

"A couple of crime rings run by Nigerians "is enough to give us a bad reputation, quit this show of shame, what are you defending?

South-Africans burn houses of Nigerians in Johannesburg

source: http://www.eyesoflagos.com/2017/02/south-africans-burn-houses-of-nigerians.html
At least 15 houses either belonging or rented by immigrants, especially Nigerians, have been burnt by angry residents in Rosettenvile, south of Johannesburg. The residents are reported to be angry that foreign nationals had turned the neighbourhood into a drug haven.


Africa Review reports on Sunday that some shops belonging to foreign nationals in the area were also looted. South African residents in the area claim Nigerians had illegally taken over most properties and turned them into drug and prostitution dens.

The African Diaspora Forum (ADM) chairperson, Mr Marc Gbaffou, confirmed the attacks and blamed Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba, for his inflammatory comments. Early last December, Mr Mashaba told a media conference that illegal immigrants got there criminally and should be treated as such. On Friday, he visited Rosettenville where he made claims that foreign nationals were using girls as young as nine as prostitutes in ‘drug houses’.

“According to community members, these homes are illegally occupied by Nigerian foreign nationals who run the homes as brothels and have girls as young as nine years old working as prostitutes. Many of the women in these brothels are also alleged to have no official identification documentation,” said Mr Mashaba. Mr Gbaffou said it was reckless for the mayor to make such a statement without proof.

“What proof does he have that foreigners are running these brothels? His remarks are very inflammatory, and it makes no difference that he has diverted from illegal immigrants to drug peddling. It is very dangerous and we see it as propaganda of hatred,” he said. A community leader, Mr Andile Tshem, called on residents to desist from violence, adding that it was high time law enforcement agents took action against criminals.

“We don’t encourage this at all, you cannot correct a wrong with another wrong. South African people must not be living on the streets when foreigners are using houses as brothels,” he said. Police have arrested a man found in one of the houses that were set alight in Rosettenville. Some Nigerians in Johannesburg have take to twitters to express their anger. Arewa Youth Forum ‏@ArewaYouthForum tweeted on Sunday, “Nigerians’ houses burnt in Johannesburg”

Belthazor:
The beautiful thing about South Africa is that you can viciously kill a Nigerian and get away scot-free.




That's how useless these Nigerians are!

JacksonD7:


For a guy who hates Nigerians you're spending an awful lot of time on a Nigerian website, and while you're here blasting Nigeria your women are back home stealing cars nak3d which proves that South Africans are the best people on earth.

zolapower:
guy I would rather u stop arguing with this lazy south African guy. The crime we are talking about here was given birth to by the whites ,ask him how many whites have they set there houses ablaze for the crime perpetrated against there people? After all,we saw what Mugabe is doing a true African ,who has taken all the land belonging to the white supremacists. Why can't they replicate such . Check out whom u are arguing with and see how hungry he's . Is anger here is not the crime rate perpetrated by nigerians but how we have also taken up thier beautiful women.

plainol:
I don't understand why these people are behaving like the Hausas and the Fulanis.

You can't use the criminal acts of a handful of people to judge an entire nation,there's no sense in that. By the way your people seem to have forgotten the role Nigeria played in the apartheid struggle, if this is how you choose to repay us well so be it.

LordAdam7:


The issue is not if the Nigerian criminals commit crime in SA, we're talking about the reaction.

The Nigerian prostitution rings in SA are not up to a tenth in efficiency as the rings run by the Air Lords in Europe. Read about them here on the BBC.

But you don't see the Europeans going ahead to raze the houses of Nigerians in their respective cities because of the actions of Nigerian criminals. That is the difference between civilization and barbarism.

SA has a well-equipped police force. If they investigated thoroughly like their counterparts in Europe rather than live off bribes from the same criminals they choose to vilify, they'd make more busts and keep the activities of these criminals in check.

You don't call your police to account, you don't ask your men to stop sleeping with under-aged girls (if you guys stopped, the criminals will stop using under-aged girls, they are businessmen. Here in Nigeria, open display of under-aged prostitutes is rare.), you don't even take the fight to the criminals; you just find anybody that is Nigerian and maim, kill, or burn their houses or businesses.

That scorched earth campaign is not befitting of a country that clams to the most advanced in Africa.

Even in India where they're getting increasingly intolerant of Nigerians, they don't carry Xenophobic attacks with the same frequency as South Africans.

Let's just say it as it is. Black South Africans are barbarians that should be shipped off the planet. You guys find the perfect excuse in Nigerians, but you guys also attack Zimbabweans, Malawians and other African nationalities. Before the end of Apartheid, you guys always had Xenophobic tendencies. The Mozambicans and Congolese would not forget in a hurry the xenophobia against them in the 80's.

The Xenophobia increased after 1994.

I've always maintained that it was against Nigerian interests to stand against Apartheid. And everyday I'm proven right, not only because of the xenophobia against Nigerians, but against other Africans. We should have just pushed for reforms, so we have a One China analogue in SA.

At least, we could count on the whites to find and punish killers and xenophobic criminals before Apartheid, now the blacks shield these killers and criminals.

Nigeria as the foremost black power on the planet has no apology for any country where criminals who are unfortunate to have emigrated from Nigeria operate. Same way Italy, Israel, Russia, China, Japan does not have apologies for anyone because of the criminal activities of their citizens around the globe.

The onus lies on host nations to ensure that foreigners abide by their laws, and when found wanting are made to face the law. Nigerians who are caught with drugs are imprisoned and placed on the death row in Malaysia. That is the law in Malaysia. And the Nigerian Foreign Mission as well as Nigerians accept that in good faith.

South Africa should behave like a country run by humans not animals and do same. Xenophobic attacks are not part of the penal code of SA. If they are, please point it out. Therefore any such attack on Nigerians in SA is criminal in nature. That the SA government and public condone such attacks make SA appear racist and intolerant.

Arrest Nigerian criminals in SA, don't burn the houses and loot the businesses of Nigerians. If your prison population can't take in more foreign prisoners, send them back to Nigeria. Our prisons are a deterrent to even the most-hardened criminals.
