See South Africa saw things from a different perspective. We learned to be tolerant of "whites" not because we so love them but needed them to continue investing in this country through their formal businesses. Makes me wonder why Nigerians never saw beyond their hatred for whites, and not only did they hate whites, they went as far as chasing Ghanaians from their country and as a result Nigeria's relations with Ghana remain sour to date. How did you benefit from your hatred? Nothing I guess as your country is still in shambles. You always seek attention, for the west to assist you even going as far as saying the world is not helping Nigeria fight BH. Yet you yourselves remained absent from the zones of conflict.

I'm completely against the killing of foreigners in my country and I strongly believe the government should have put majors in place to avert such since the 2008 xenophobic attacks. The mentality of some South Africans is that foreigners are dirty, stupid and always at their mercy. What shocked most receptive South Africans was the government sluggish response to the attacks and their failure to reprimand the stupid Zulu King for inciting all this violence. I've mingled with foreign nationals since my days in varsity and continue to do so as I am married to a foreigner. I receive all foreigners with love and treat them with respect irrespective of where they come from, culture and all. Unfortunately some of my brothers and sisters are not seeing this from my view.

Yes you allowed the white to stay because you got no choice, SA would have starved to death , you got nothing left, the white owns practically everything so you got no choice other than beg them to keep feeding and providing for you and that has been the case till today.

Zim did the same in 1980, they allowed the White to remain in those farms providing for the whole country, companies like Barclays, OK, spar etc were left to do business freely and zim was great but when Mugabe started killing white farmers using war veterans...what happened? Those companies moved out or reduced their businesses in zim, white farmers move to SA, Nigeria, Mozambique and other southern African countries and ZIm collapsed. The same with SA, you are living a borrowed life, you got no solid foundation unlike Nigeria we own what we have, you developed it from scratch and can survive anytime.

Ghana started chasing Nigerians away before Nigeria retaliated hence the slogan Ghana must go. Go and read history.

LOOK VERY WELL. YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE NOT SURVIVING IN NIGERIA. EVERYONE'S DREAM OVER THERE IS TO GET AWAY FROM THE DUSTY DARK COUNTRY FOR GREENER PASTURES.

Nigeria is the biggest economy in Africa. Deal with that.

I have been to Nigeria and there is absolutely nothing to write home about. You rely on peasent farmers to supply your whole country with food. You don't have any mechanism of support for your farmers. Currently 50% of farmers here are black and guess what? They are using the latest technology in farming. We can't say the same for you though. Don't compare us to Zim OR YOURSELVES, we have nothing in common accept in your mind. What did you develop for yourselves? Are you talking about your airports that look like old dirty train stations in the bundu? Or are you talking about your roads and infrastructure? But then again, what infrastructure? I just don't know what the heck you on about. Today the same Ghana you retaliated against is doing much better than you. So what does this say about you and your big mouth?

You visited a village in Nigeria going by your posts. There is no different between South African and Zim .just a name, I have visited both countries, lived and studied in Zimbawe, so I know.

Infact I landed in your disorganised Muhammed Murtala airport. As the plane descended it got very clear to me how bad things are on the ground. Not even that was enough to prepare me for what I later saw. But again, the people are so warm to foreigners unlike some of my SA brothers and sisters.

You got the whole thing wrong. There is a very noticeable difference between SA and Zim but only to the ones who have their eyes open. Yes I have been to Nigerian villages. The roads are bad, the night is pitch black, not even a beam of light. Truly sad I must add.

But you shouldn't use what you saw in Onitsha as a yardstick to write off Nigeria.

I used the same airport last month..yes things are bad, Nigerians complain about it, we know our problems, we solve our problem, we don't need or rely on whites to develop, feed and rule us like SA do. There is a huge difference here.

Zim and SA are the same chick of the same backside, same HIV ravaged country, same sense of dressing, developed and sustained by the White. Just the same.

Whites are not ruling my country, the natives of the land are in charge. Yeah, like you solved Boko Haram, the lack of power supply, lack of clean water, malaria, typhoid fever, polio, need I continue? lack of free basic healthcare, you don't even have care for the old citizens, the list is endless...

Pay a visit to Akwa Ibom, Calabar, Abuja, rivers, Kano e.t.c. You'll see standard roads.

Plus that - it's not all parts of Lagos that have bad roads. There are good roads in Lagos meehn. Thank God you see something good in Nigeria at least. cheesy

Thabo Mbeki did not leave SA with the whole country to come stay in Nigeria. Neither did he sell drugs, scam people and interfere with others peace. Our people were housed in camps. And I bet you they were not more than 3000 in number.

I don't get it. That I stated my experience in my villa means I don't care about others? You said Nigeria is in total darkness at night and I only said what I said to let you know it's probably where you visited - - it's no so in my villa. Therefore, that statement is not true for Nigeria as a whole.

I do see good in Nigeria, and so much potential. And I'm hopeful that things are going to change for the good with the new government. I believe they can turn things around so the people can benefit from the wealth of the country. I will not miss visiting Calabar and Port Harcourt in my next visit. That is if my visit will not annoy some people seeing the cold shoulder SA has given the Nigerian people.
