Nigerian Businessmen In South Africa - What Are You Doing?
« on: July 31, 2009, 08:38 PM »

To my understanding there is a very large Nigerian population in South Africa , where are all the businessmen? Are the vast majority of Nigerians in South Africa just there to hustle?

In Johannesburg, people tell me Nigerians are largely concentrated in a section called "Hillbrow". My question is, why haven't Nigerians organized themselves into cooperatives and turned the place into a "Nigeria Town", or something of that nature? There are TWO Chinatowns in Joburg alone, are you telling me Nigerians are not capable of creating their own cultural hub? Where are the Nigerian restaurants, barber shops, hair salons, etc? If someone in South Africa can give me a little info about the ground situation, that will be very much appreciated. Smiley

Bro

I have been to Hilbrow and not the best place you wanna be hanging around. The Naija people there have turned that place upside down, consisting of village/area boys and riff raffs who managed to leave the country and pose as representatives of Nigerians in that country.

There is an uneasiness between the associating with Nigerians in SA and I can't blame the people for acting that way.

There are however some good business men who are Nigerian and striving to make something of themselves and contribute to the society as well but are unfortunately overshadowed by these touts.

PS Stay away from establishing any businesses inĀ  the townships they are a ticking time bomb.

My experience. I have worked with several NGO's particularly Bill gates initiative on the continent.

I see you are from Cali. I lived in bakersfield many years ago.
