A Nigerian who is on holiday in South Africa with a valid visa got his passport torn to pieces by a South Africa police out of hatred for Nigerians.

Please help share this for people to know how Nigerians are be treated here and hope our govt hear this and do something about it. Passports are govt properties, this is a slap on our government this is unacceptable. (pls help put this on the front page)

that police man must be stupid hope our govt fight back

moderato can u pls put this on front page

I can't imagine a worse fate than to have one's passport torn up and pissed on.

Will govt investigate this and react accordingly? Ur guess is as good as mine
Lets wait and see

Just because the passport not useful lol

A story and a pic.... all thats needed to make the front page... dont you guys think this matter is too sensitive? Were any efforts made to verify the authenticity of this story?

No be small thing o

joesbuba: that police man must be stupid hope our govt fight back

....do you have a government to start with? i dont think so

Seeing the pic on that passport would make HIM-thats me, tear it as well

Nairaland i hail thee. Lol

Is there any other proof aside torn passport

If that's what happened then, this incredibly bad! I mean what kind of disrespect is that? This could well bring another international brouhaha is care is not taken and the police dude held culpable.

That is why i will rather die in country than to be come a slave in foreign country.

This South Africans have started again!!

Absolutely unacceptable. Drastic action must be taken, WTF is wrong with these south Africans

A mere looking at the xenophobia of south Africans toward other africans sometimes confirm what Botha did said about them.Where was that useless policeman when Nigeria stood by during the apartheid era ? ThankGod,this passport owner was not killed like they killed Lucky dube thinking he was a Nigerian.Blood-sucking-vampires !

These South Africans have started again!!

Is a slap on Jonathan.hp govt tks proper action!

In fact this should be at the front page of SUN newspaper tomorrow. . .

Is the owner of the passport still in south africa? He should thank his stars that he was not murdered by the policeman.

i dont blame the useless police man. just imagine........ ordinary south africa. who gave them the liver. nigerian governments should better start doing something before its too late. very soon ghana will start doing the same thing. useless bastards.

What in the world is going on with Nairaland Moderators these past months?

Must every post make it to the front page? Most especially very sensitive ones likely to cause National and International unrest?

The Passport in question might have been expired or fake for all we care. Journalism is all about findings.

The poster should have provided the passport number, visa details, name on passport before such story could be confirmed as being true.

We all know the length at which Nigeria could go to travel out of the country through hook or crook means.

If the story is true, Let him report to Nigeria high commision/embassy in South Africa and if he has and nothing concrete has been done then he should forward the information to us here.

Then and only then will we all rise and ask for the recall of the Higher Commisioner in South Africa.

Seun be very careful, yourself and your moderators need to have regular meetings and discussions on how to operate this forum because it appears you all are loosing it by each passing second.


Just a harmless advice.

and how do we verify this? Any proof?

i was at embassy yesterday when i saw this i took the pic to share with nairaland,the matter has been reported to the consuler general and the torn passport with them

Do you EVER say anything on NL without calling Igbo or Biafra? Like seriouly, do we give you sleepless night?


@Topic, well what do you expect? If Nigeria was the GIANT like other African and western continents expected it to be, SA will never try it. When you're an empty barrel, what do you expect? People will kick, spit and laugh, even destroy or even posses that which rightfully belongs to you. A nation without peace but chaos, what do you expect?

I went into 7-eleven to go get Slurpee yesterday, and the attendant who rung me up started preaching to me about Boko hara, in from of rush customers, I was caught off guard but because of I was cool with the dude, I did not react and we laughed it off. Expect your leaders not to act, after all, a common "apology" will suffice; at times, I feel like we get what we deserve.

This is so disrespectful!

Tearing a country's passport can be an act of war, the SA high commissioner needs to be summoned by the Nigerian President.

I am vey disaapointed with this atitude if it is true. We dont have govt. By the time national assembly gets to know about this, nothing will be done than to set-up commitee or investigating panel, wc will eventually consume hundreds of millions and some people will be smiling to banks and nothing will be heard of it again except unyeilding treats.
If we have shown them pepper during the last deportee fracals, they would have learnt their lessons, even if they see us in any of their airports, they will quickly salute us, but here we find ourselves. Shame,shame,shame

Why do you have to bring biafra into this?

SA is a useless country!!

Country of midget men, with short man syndrome.
