No such thing as African Brotherhood. Years ago Nigeria helped liberate SA from apartheid tyranny and this is how they chose to repay us? It is a shame.

ok so then they now transfer their aggression on foreigners while Zuma sits back and watches the drama. The xenophobic attacks are more or less transferred aggression. Our guys should come back home if they are feeling too much of the south African hatred.
Exactly, it takes away the pressure from him

I don't think that is very easy, some of this people have investments running into millions in sa.

Nigerians are not any better.

They did the same thing to Ghanaians during the Ghana must go period.

They called it scatter.

A group of Nigerians will attack a Ghanaian neighbourhood, chase them out, burn and steal their belongings. You may be too young to know.

Looks like they met their match.

hmmm! Investments running into millions in SA?.....aghhhhhhh!! shocked.this is like choosing b/w the devil and the deep blue sea. Zuma is a cunning fox . As long as the south Africans keep on attacking the foreigners he will be sitting pretty and absolved of any blame.but then this sort of strategy will backfire.

The honest truth is South African men are lazy but jealous of Nigerians intimidating them by taking all their girls. I have a South African lawyer on Facebook, she use to tell me how she prefers to employ a Nigerian than someone from her country. Another talked about how weak their men are on bed. Looking at all this, they will continue to attack Nigerians. Though some commit all sort of attrocities

I believed you read the post very well. We have citizens of other countries in south Africa going about their lawful business and likewise Nigerians in SouthAfrica. The way you have painted it is as if it is a very bad idea for the citizens of another country to stay off their shores. The report did not say they are illegal immigrants as a matter of fact they are successful businessmen

The Nigerian Community in South Africa said on Saturday that a mob destroyed four shops and several houses belonging to their members at Krugersdorp, near Johannesburg.


A Nigerian owned shop burned at Krugersdorp
Mr Cyril James, the Ward Chairman of the Nigerian Union in the area, told newsmen on the telephone from Johannesburg, South Africa that the attacks began on Jan. 18.

James said that the mob alleged that a Nigerian abducted a South African girl and raped her.

“ The South Africans attacked our homes and shops, destroyed all we have. Many Nigerians suffered severe injuries during the attack. We have left our homes for safety because they (South Africans) are regrouping to attack us again,” he said.

James urged the Nigerian mission to urgently intervene before the mob kills a Nigerian.

According to him, the safety of Nigerians in Krugersdorp is no more guaranteed because there is no help.

Mr Adetola Olubajo, President of the union, said that the situation in the area was bad.

“ I can confirm that Nigerians in the area have been attacked. I am amazed and emotionally down as calls from panicked Nigerians flooded my phone from various Provinces.


Flat occupied by a Nigerian burned by the mob
“ The South African government needs to be engaged at the highest level to avoid further loss of lives and property of our citizens,” he said.

Olubajo said that two Nigerians had been killed in South Africa in Rustenburg and Durban since the attacks began.

“ Two Nigerians have been killed, many displaced and injured in fresh Xenophobic attacks and extra-judicial killing,” he said.

Two weeks ago, more than five Nigerian owned shops and houses were burnt at Rustenburg, North West Province by Taxi Drivers.

The drivers alleged that Nigerians sold drugs to a gang that attacked their members and that a Nigerian abducted and raped a 16-year old South African girl.

The union denied the allegations. “ After our investigation, no Nigerian has been arrested for the rape or drug offence. The allegations are false and spurious, “ the union said.

Find articles supporting claims that Nigerians attacked Ghanaian neighbourhoods in Nigeria and the post you draw reference to will become noteworthy. When Ghanians were kicked out of Nigeria, deaths occurred during the trip home to Ghana. The same and worst happened to Nigerians kicked out of Ghana prior. Anyone tells you Nigerians attacked Ghanaians physically and killed them is fibbing to you and likely trying to justify something they did to Nigerians or hatefully said about Nigerians. Nigerians have never attacked foreigners, from any nation, living in Nigeria or that lived in Nigeria simply because they were not Nigerians. It's a record for which Nigerians should be proud. And there are likely more foreigners living in Nigeria than South Africa.

Lol, even foreign Fulani's go to Nigeria to kill Nigerians and chase Nigerians out of Nigerian neighbourhoods....

Yes. They don't kill each other, but they deliberately keep themselves down and make sure they destroy their country. You see how advanced Nigeria is as a society? That is what tribalism does to a country. At least south africans band together to keep riff raffs away from their country.

Lol. You must be living on mars. We are talking about Nigeria. A country where a cow holds more value than a human beings life. A country where a mob can band together to execute a suspect and the public applauds. Guy, i beg stop arguing. It is not going well for your point of view.

Nigerians there should come home and make your country better. I'm tired of hearing this type of story regularly.

Seriously it's sad. However, DSTv is owned by white south africans who have no issue with xenophobia. Even among the black south africans, many of them are also against this xenophobia and claim that the bad ones are tarnishing their image.

I don't think it would be fair for us to judge the entire South africa for the negative attributes of some.

Afterall, not all white americans are racists!
Not all Latin americans are drug pushers!
Not all Nigerians are internet fraudsters, ritualists, drug smugglers and what have you.

I think Nigerians in SA should consider leaving if they are not sure of their lives, properties and investments. They need to run for their dear lives instead of embarking on such a suicide mission just like the case of Libya.
