Can you imagine South African blacks making mockery of a 8-year-old girl for being a foreigner? That is discrimination in its entirety!

are you a south african?why are you orubebeing your mouth here because of south africa?your people killed our people and you want us to forget? South africans are bunch of ingrates tongue

What do you say about lies from your fellow Nigerians? As far as I know no Nigerian was killed.

Actually you should all be concerned about Nigerians killing (butchering) each other in Padevo (Italy) over some girl.....how about that? Cultists.

They hate Nigeria and we are not welcome to their country. There are Afrikaners who killed black south Africans during apartheid walking around in the country free. Yet it's Nigerian work ethic, swagger and zeal that they hate. sad

Nigerian s r a nuisance...
from a nigerian. lol.



Yesterday, I was driving through Yeoville in Johannesburg when I glimpsed a sign through the glass windows of a hotel lobby (Safari Hotel) which boldly advised visitors thus:

"This is to inform the public that Nigerian Nationals are not allowed in this hotel."

I took offence with my South African
companions and began to immediately wonder what sort of madness and discrimination I had just witnessed. Simple logic after all, demands that You cannot profile a group of people (in this case, all Nigerians) as a criminals, pimps and fraudsters.

Anyway, still seething with rage, I took a solid reflection of Nigerians’ situation in this city when I again, dashed through the streets of Hillbrow and Central Business District of Johannesburg. I couldn’t help but marvel at how the activities of Nigerians, mostly, had reshaped the landscape of this city. Images of a typical central Lagos pervades here: Petty traders hawking alongside heaps of refuse; drug dealers pedaling their illicit trade, prostitutes and their pimps and general organized chaos.

The deep, baritone accent of the Nigerian English easily gives these perpetrators away. Added to that, they are loud, brazen and shameless in deprecating the city in promoting their trades; and in the process, discomforting the very people that had welcomed them into their land.

I am in full agreement that the insanity of the Johannesburg city centre cannot be blamed entirely on Nigerians. But please bear with me. This article is about Nigerians and their preference for a squalid existence in a foreign land rather than staying home for a more productive life. Nigerians will raise travel funds (flight tickets, accommodation, food,
visa, etc), an amount sizeable to establish a reasonable small scale business, and use it to sojourn in foreign lands doing petty things they’d never dream about. If you looked closely, you would see that the culprits are mostly dregs from the lower rungs of the Nigerian society. They are largely unskilled and found their way to South Africa with only the clothes on their backs. They have now become a menace to the society that harbors them.

These Nigerians are now South Africa’s problems because their own nation would rather fete and defend criminal elements in the political class
rather address the serious
socio-economic challenges
that drive Nigerians from their
homelands. They would prefer
instead to live in the squalor of
Johannesburg.

As much as I wonder at the
choices people sometimes
make in deciding their futures,
I will typically blame the
Nigerian government for letting
down these fragile set of
people. They couldn’t find the
security they needed at home
so they sojourned abroad only
to live an existence that they
should rightly be ashamed of.

They do not trust their own
government to protect and
provide for them.

And really, how can anyone in
his right mind trust a
government that celebrates
mediocrity and criminality. A
government that is content to
leave its citizens to the wimps
of foreign countries because it
had conveniently absconded
from its role.

As we speak, the mess that is
the Nigerian government
continues to unfold. I awoke
this morning to news of the
Presidential pardon for a group
of VIP criminals in Nigeria. It
was a decision as much
shameful as it is reckless in its
recommendations. I see no
basis for this latest
government indiscretion to
pardon people who pillaged
our commonwealth and
mortgaged the future of our
sons and daughters. A pardon
for People who’s various acts
of disservice is the very reason
many of us are languishing in
foreign lands because there is
nothing credible to come back
to.

The arrogance of our political
leadership certainly has no
limit and their mindlessness is
a calamity which final chapters
are yet to be written. They are
so shameless, even shame has
lost its meaning. Nigeria will
surely not find salvation with
these crop of political leaders.

you talking about the article below. very sad episode in Nigeria.

at least in SA the government isn't behind the xenophobia, only a few hooligans who've been arrested BTW. there will probably be more foreigners in SA this time next year than there are today.

LOME, Togo, Feb. 1— Tens of thousands of hungry and impoverished people who have been expelled from Nigeria hurried today along the seaside road that leads to the frontier with ghana at the edge of this normally quiet West African capital.

The refugees, expelled for economic and political reasons by Nigeria, passed through Lome in taxis, cattle trucks and on foot, most of them men in their 20's, many of them carrying a single suitcase as they walked along the Atlantic coastal road. Some two million unskilled foreign workers living illegally in Nigeria were ordered to start leaving by Monday. At least half of them were Ghanaians, and others were from Mali, Chad, Niger, Upper Volta, Benin and Togo.

Under international and African pressure, President Shehu Shagari of Nigeria extended the expulsion deadline for skilled foreigners, mostly schoolteachers, until March 1.

President Shagari announced the expulsions Jan. 17, saying the foreigners were the cause of economic problems and religious and racial unrest. 16 Reported to Have Died In Lagos, the Nigerian capital, at least 16 people were reported to have died as a result of the forced exit. Six people drowned in the Lagos harbor Monday night trying to climb aboard overcrowded ships leaving for Accra, ghana 's capital. Ten refugees were said to have starved to death.

At the frontier, Togolese guards let the refugees pass by the thousands without a check. A hundred yards away, by a concrete arch with the words ''Welcome to ghana '' in large letters, Ghanaian border guards appeared to be making only cursory inspections of the refugees as they entered. As one truck carrying perhaps 50 refugees crossed the border, the Ghanaians cheered -but not loudly, more in relief than joy. A boy waved a small Ghanaian flag from the back of the truck.

They unfortunately lost their lives leaving Nigeria as many Nigerians lost their lives leaving Ghana when Ghana set the president by expelling Nigerians. Many migrants fleeing Africa for Europe are loosing their lives now. This sometimes happens en-rout. Wouldn't be surprised if when one investigates, those leaving South Africa for their homelands, that people died. Nigerians did not go around like animals as south Africans did murdering foreign people. Nigerians can be proud that in the history of Nigeria Nigerians have never murdered anyone because they were foreigners. Nigeria is probably the only nation in the world that this has not happened in. So, stop making excuses for South Africa. South Africans behaved abominably and need to accept, learn, improve and move on.

The so called Ghana must go incident can be termed as a retaliation from the Nigerian Government in response to "Aliens Compliance Order of the then Ghanian president Kofi Busia.

According to this post "we saw this thing coming..."
A word is enough for the wise. If you value your life, get out of south Africa promptly. If you get killed there, that's your business. If you're not there on Nigeria's official duty, nobody will bat an eye for your demise.

I still wonder why this ingratefull Nation called S/A would think about murdering any African immigrant. I really wish they could recall the extent some African-neighbouring countries went just to make sure their sorry a§§ were helped outta the White's sh*t.
Ignoring whatever reasons (only if there were genuine and alarming ones) they shouldn't be the ones to trample on the face of Nigerians cos I wonder how you'd cope if most of Nigeria-own companies and merchants were never a part of S/A.
NB: your rapid growth in years isn't because of your self acclaimed tourist centers. Thanks to other African countries. Pls always have this in mind. Nigeria is one undefeatable country, we are only the ones capable of defeating ourselves; not one incompetent and feckless country
