Can we See the people complaining are Yorubas?
Tomorrow if a Nigerian in South Africa is killed, one wicked Yoruba man in his mud house in Ibadan will conclude that the person is Igbo.

Won't it have been better to turn the foreigners down for jobs than giving them the jobs only to come and kill them? I'm sure SA government can do something about this sha?

The SA govt has a lot of citizen educating to do, especially the zulu tribe.Foreigners toil and strive to become better citizens and help improve the economy by paying their tax. Compared to the low paying labour wages that foreigners repatriate to their country, SA companies generate and repatriate far more than they can imagine. These companies litter the entire continent. These monies that are recieved as tax are used to build infrastructures all over the cities in south africa. As it is, no country can survive on its own. The term country was not gods creation but mans doing.South africa needs serious education.

I've read what they wrote there and its good to the ear.My points are:
1.They claimed they have 13m as against 11m in johannesburg,Lagos has 21m and yet we are no fronting.
2.They av ''Unemployed peoples forum''That shows how lazy they are.
3.And to think the africans asked to go back to their respective countries spent millions to liberate them from their slave masters shows ungrateful they are.4Nigerian govt should make haste to evacuate all learned workers e.g Docs,Engrs,Accs and others and see how far this people can go without foreigners.

Howbeit one point they made which i like is ''every africans should go back to their country''Accepted.Our government should tell Mtn,Shoprite,DSTV to go back to their country too and start making profit.
And the govt should make haste and eveacuate all nigerians in SA before they die of starvation(Ungrateful ''SAVAGE ANIMALS'').

Approved.

As they say money talks and bull sh.it walks. The only thing Nigerians can do at this point to hit South Africa where it hurts is to hit their govt in the pocket , Nigeria is MTN's biggest subscriber in Africa with over 50 million subscribers - how about boycotting them?
Also DSTV has over 4 million Nigerian subscribers, mass boycotting of both companies means GIGANTIC FINANCIAL LOSSES FOR THEM - what are we waiting for?

These two companies are multinationals and are controlled by the whites who are the root causes of all of these problems in South Africa which is all the more reason why Nigerians should boycott them.

AnambraDota:
Some Nigerians in South Africa have cried out against
the xenophobic attacks on Africans in parts of the
country.

In separate telephone interviews with SUNDAY
PUNCH, the Nigerian migrants expressed their fear

Then get the f**k outta there....abeg next news. angry
of attacks as death threats were being circulated on
social media.

Itunu Bodunrin, who on Monday had attended his
master’s degree graduation ceremony at the
University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, told our
correspondent that he was unable to leave the school
campus afterwards due to the violence in the town.
Bodunrin forwarded a text message to our
correspondent which, according to him, had been
circulated among South African residents via an
instant messaging mobile application, WhatsApp.

In the message, signed by several groups, including
the Patriotic Movement, Pan Local Forum,
Unemployed Workers Forum and Anti-Crime
Movement, Nigerians and other African foreigners
were warned to leave the country.

It read in part, “Dear neighbour from Africa and
other parts of the world, we have travelled the world
and have not found one country that allows the
floods of humans across its borders as South Africa is
experiencing. Even in war-torn parts like Syria,
Ukraine, Yemen and Somali.

“We were seven million people in Johannesburg city
in 2011. Today, we have an estimated 13 million. In
Johannesburg alone, you have taken over entire
suburbs: Yeoville, Berea, Bez Valley, Turfontein,
among many. You have even moved into rural parts
of our country that have 80-per-cent unemployment,
and there are no visible signs that you have jobs
either.

“We want to be proudly part of the geographic
construct called Africa, but we are as different from
one another as Kenyans are from Nigerians; Ivorians
from Chadians, etc.

“We are pleading with you to return to your home
countries. Go and build up those countries so that we
can all live in economic, social and political
prosperity and peace as neighbours. The genocide in
this corner of Africa will be far worse than what
happened in Rwanda in 1994. Then the entire
continent will be condemned to ashes. Is that what
you want?

“South Africans not fully employed or who were
found guilty of crimes, were recently repatriated
from Nigeria and rightly so.

“Our people are preparing for war against all
foreigners (from Bulgaria, Pakistan and Bangladesh
to Africa, north of the Limpopo) and we are all very
scared. Please go home and build Africa. Millions will
die if you don’t. This we can guarantee.”


Similarly, Samson Ojako, a master’s degree student
studying Mathematics also at the University of
KwaZulu-Natal noted that looting had been rampant
for over a week.

“Those that opened their shops were attacked by the
Zulu. During all of this, those of us on campus were
warned by the school management to stay indoors.
They said no one should leave the school premises,
especially during the weekend.”

Ojako noted that a large number of Zulus often
migrated from their villages into town on weekends
in order to launch attacks on non-nationals.

He likened the last one week to life in a refugee
camp, saying that those living on campus could not
go out to shop for food.

“A lot of people are living in fear, especially the
ladies. Even for us who are guys, last week, we had to
move in groups,” he said.

Olawale Olawepo, another Nigerian studying for a
doctorate degree in Industrial Organisation and
Labour Studies said the school authorities also
warned students against taking public transportation.

This attack is in Durban, not the whole of South Africa.
This attack is carried out by uneducated, lazy and jobless ones. This group of people live outskirts of the cities where cost of living is low. . You may be a victim if you live in such areas. Students and migrants who are yet to find their feet in South Africa live in these areas. Is like saying Boko haram is killing People in Nigeria. I'm typing from Johannesburg and I strongly condemn the attack. Like somebody said. Only in South Africa uneducated person will say an immigrant medical doctor is taking his job.

The UN can't do Jack, SA is a sovereign country, if the SA government cannot control her people and protect foreigners.

Those foreigners should leave ASAP.

But if SA I have so much growing population of foreigners, then their embassies and immigration services are not working.

SA should be completely isolated by Africa and the the revenge should be massive till the world begs UA to stop.
Rubbish SA

Supported my brother.Let DSTV just go now. We do not need any South African companies in Nigeria anymore.

Talk responsibly as a human being. Why ethnic expression here.Why call the Yorubas here when this issue has to do with the attitude of the South African's.You should stop that rubbish and stop calling any Yoruba person and are you better than them> I am an Igbo person and I hate when you bring sentiments into issues like this. Nonsense.

They're defacing statues of white men- because those statues are stopping them from being educated. undecided
Perhaps those statues are preventing them from getting jobs.

Oh!, I get it now - those statues are selling drugs to their children, and also taking their women.
you can say that again.
