Well, I've always been a strong anti-xenophobia agent on Nairaland, but with the rate of attack on Nigerians in S.A, one should really ask what the Nigerian ambassador to S.A is doing on this issue.

Even if you tell me these guys are drug dealers or fraudsters (their usual lame excuse for xenophobic attacks), are the citizens so lawless to be beating foreigners up all the time without the Police arresting them?

This is so unlawful. It's also a call to Nigerians to mind what they are doing abroad. We know so many Nigerians wanna make money by force and don't care how it comes, but don't kill yourself in another man's land because of fast money. Enough said! These people hate Nigerians, especially Igbos with a passion (trust me they know the different tribes).

OK, Nigeria it has the high number of people who don't have toilet

toyinjimoh:
they said they were selling drugs , why can't they hand them over to d police instead of taking law into their hands..some south Africa need mental illness

Please tell me are you Igbo ? I know if you are you will not like South Africa. I have been going to South Africa since 2009 and just got back this December. I move about freely everywhere from Jo'burg to Pretoria and had a road trip to Durban in company of other 4 Nigerians. I was not lynched.

The under belly factor which we all chose to ignore is the drug problem. Nigerian build drug cartels in SA using their girl to ship the drugs. They moved into building proustite cartels now. Nigeria chased Western Union n Money Gram from SA with fraud.

South Africa might be a developed city like Europe but never forget that they are Africans. There's that unseen Union of a community in every African which is absent in Europe that is why you see this people fighting to get rid of the evil of drugs plaguing their community. Nigerian are only caught in between the web because they are the channel through which the drug is distributed.

Xenophobic started without Nigerian being the major culprit now the battle as changed and it's only Nigerians that is being attacked daily. Plus am a Nigerian and South African is a million times beta than Nigeria and am talking in terms of all indices so naturally Nigerian will migrate over there just like we move to countries in European America n Asia so stop fooling yourself as to why you can not understand Nigerians move there. When you were there did you for once think about how you will get water, electricity, security etc and every other thing you need to provide for yourself here in Nigeria ?

The same can be said about this. http://www.google.co.za/url?q=https://www.nairaland.com/3254540/3-criminal-beaten-dead-delta&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwi5_uCl8fDTAhUOIlAKHdK7AXUQFggcMAY&sig2=ckUqJ6neswQfqiIwDgQBZw&usg=AFQjCNGFRaNESAouOXNE_N9T3T9o7ne13Q

SA has had a drug problem as far as I can remember. In the film, 'Dangerous Ground' starring Ice Cube, Elizabeth Hurley among other stars, SA drug problem was highlighted. The film was set in the 90s, long before Nigerians started moving there in droves and it was clearly shown that the drug trade was being controlled by local drug cartels. I therefore wonder why South Africans are not attacking their local drug cartels if they feel that they really need to take drugs off their streets.
I feel it's envy, because Nigerians there are doing well through their personal effort and also Jealousy because they feel Nigerian men are stealing their women from them(Their ladies prefer Nigerian men from accounts I received from friends there).
I will advise the SA men to pull themselves together, get a good education and then a Job to remove that excessive envy and Jealousy from their lives.
My advise to Nigerians in SA is to have an exit
ountry within three years, while the Nigerian Government can also help such would be returnees by providing logistics support and other things that will help them settle easily and quickly in Nigeria or whichever safe country they choose to relocate to.

vandalZA:
First you should ask yourself a question, why only Nigerians are being beaten in South Africa out of all foreigners? Why don't Nigerian students studying in South Africa report such incidents if South Africans are anti-Nigerian? what you should know about South Africans is that they don't tolerate nonsense, you should ask Zuma if you don't believe me.

lozanni:



My brother God bless you. We have some bad Nigerians involved in the drug trade, but why are they not attacking their own people who are more involved in drug business than Nigerians? I am not applauding the Nigerians involved in the drug trade, but I feel the attack on Nigerians is out Jealousy about their wealth and success. This is why I agree with you that we should face this problem as a nation, rather than castigating each other.

GeneralOjukwu:
Let's develop our country first before going to develop others....

And let's also behave according to the laws of the land. SAY NO TO CRIME.

PS - South Africans have balls to attack Nigerians because our leaders are gutless and never repay them back

RichYoungNigga:

I've been to South Africa twice for a Business meeting

I just want to know, why would a Nigerian travel to South Africa and decide to live there

South Africans​ are the laziest and unintelligent people on earth

The white men took their land, killed them, imprisoned them and they're still slaves to the white men in their land

Tell me, have you heard that a white man was beaten in South Africa ?? It will never happen because they're still their slave master

I wanted to cry when i went to South Africa, South African women kneeling down to serve us at the hotel,
but they're cowards to confront the white men

Go to South Africa at your own risk

Thanks for teaching those useless Biafruds the lessons of their lives.Shey na by force to dey sell drug to dem?Why not find good things to do instead of spoiling our good name NIGERIA

lozanni:


Your reasoning is very primitive, because the underlying assumption I can detect from it is you are anti-Igbo and also support jungle justice. The law says everyone is innocent until proven otherwise. If we all take the laws into our hands, what kind of society are we going to get?
How about if there is miscarriage of justice and innocent people are wrongly attacked because they are Nigerians? A life wrongly taken can not be restored.

Shawnnn01:


Being anti Igbo is not a crime especially when the same Igbo hates every other tribe in the world and calls them lazy. Jungle justice is always wrong and will always be wrong but it what every society not as civilised as Europe n the USA result to help themselves and salvage their community when the policing machinery available is not adequate. Soon Igbo will claim Chinese are lazy I must watched a video of an Igbo man being lynched. It's on front page if you care to watch too.



Am sorry my reason is very primitive but thank God that is not a crime in the Nigeria or Biafran constitution. You just state the law say do not take the law into your hands but did the law not state do not do drugs. Plus if you care to really know am a very huge fan of jungle justice to me as an African I believe being presumed innocent until proven guilt is too much of a burden to pay it just create an enterprise for lawyers.

Here is an example to that claim if you are not a boko haram member do not move with them, do not dress like they and do not act like them. If you do all these and is mistaken as one of them then am not sorry if you are stoned. Now applied this to assassins and armed robbers. Now replace the armed robbers with drug peddlers, am sure you figure those guys are lucky now because they should have been lynched to death. Africa is not Europe and its not SA that perpetuated slave trade what excuse do you have to go and ruin their communities ?

pokipoki:

Because our brothers sell drugs, are involved with armed robbery, fraud and our women prostitute in south Africa thats why they hate nigerians. Same as India where you have a large number of Nigerians.
If we tolerate all the vices mentioned above in nigeria, other countries don't.

The question I want to ask Nigerians who think they must live in South Africa is: WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE IN THAT COUNTRY THAT DOESN'T EXIST IN NIGERIA? IS IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE WHITE PEOPLE THERE? WHY MUST YOU RISK YOUR LIFE TO LIVE IN SOUTH AFRICA, ANOTHER GODDAMN AFRICAN COUNTRY, FOR GOD SAKE?
