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.

One question....which country likes Nigeria?

Dude ure lucky I have no power over your life. I would have made it miserable. You're worse than them for suggesting this.

Thank God you just realised how worthless and vile the air you breathe is. What effrontery from a goat', may your generation be miserable just as you wish others. Blood sucking vampire

Shame on Nigeria..

Shame on the giant of Africa..

Nigerians have spoilt their country and want to spoil other people's country..

Nigerians should stop crying xenophobia.

When Ghanians invaded Nigeria and Nigerians were chasing Ghana citizens to ghana By force and termed it "Ghana Must go".. Didn't they know that was Xenophobic?

It is ok if you degrade your country, but other countries won't allow you degrade their own country..

No wonder Indonesia didn't hear plea to stop execution of drug traffickers of which 4 were nigerians.


Nigerians are liabilities to other Nation.

Nigerians must look inward and fix themselves.. Nobody would fix Nigeria but Nigerians..

A lot of sense, Nigerians don't like the truth

Obijulius:
My Igbo brothers sure know how to woo a woman.

Those South Africans have every reason to be fearful .

Every woman wants a man who is dependable , emotionally, psychologically, materially, etc.

Igbo men sending fear through the hearts of other African men since 1914.

Tribalistic nonsense coupled with classic Nigerian empty chest beating...smh

stuppid comment

Rants of a cannibal

We know and accept that you are not clowning when you threaten to close down and or destroy the property of South African companies and attack South Africans who are legally in your country. The negligibly few South Africans who were involved in the recent shameful, dastardly and unacceptable attacks on other Africans, learned from the best. In 1983, the democratically-elected Shehu Shagari government actually legislated the expulsion of at least 2 million Ghanaians and a few other African immigrants.
This act of xenophobia was repeated by the military in 1985. The beating and killing of innocent foreigners, mostly Ghanaians, had become a national pastime as they were blamed for the widespread crime, corruption and unemployment. By the force of law and popular support Ghanaians were ordered to leave within 7 days and take only N20.00 or $17. 65 USD with them. Their businesses were seized, closed down or destroyed. As if that was not enough, you danced, sang hate songs, mocked and laughed at them as they climbed onto overcrowded vehicles destined for the border. You even have a Ghana Must Go bag to crown it all!
Hitherto, South Africans had lived and worked peacefully for decades with Africans from as far as Tanzania, Madagascar, etc. Some of them even became great South African musicians, ANC and trade union leaders.
Siyabonga Gama is actually 4 years old and is South African. Siyabonga means "we are grateful" and Gama means "name" in the Zulu language. He was hit by a stray rubber bullet in February 2015 when the police were forced to fire at some people who were trying to illegally seize and occupy land in Diepsloot, north of Johanbesburg.
I've lived, studied and worked in many African and European countries. I can tell you without a doubt in my mind that prejudice is part of the DNA of human beings. It exists even among Nigerians. I'm South African, born and bred in the Gauteng province of South Africa. Other children used to call me Mafutha ( Zulu for fat) and also laugh at my big banana lips. They would mock others because they didn't have a dad or because they were slim or had big or small eyes, were light or very dark in complexion. If you ran to your mother, complaining about what other children were saying, she would train you how to hit back.
In Nigeria, our rivals told the girls that we hadn't been circumcised and were going to infect them. Most of our guys had no choice but to buy it at the market, as a result. At a school in the North East, when we were facing certain death or injury because a Yoruba girl loved one of us, Nigerian tribalism saved us. There were only 15 South Africans and Zimbabweans at our school. The battle line was drawn, Nigerian and Southern African boys were facing each, weapons in hand, when the Nigerians started quarreling among themselves. The Igbos joined us and that increased our number and stopped the fight. In the South East, one of us was burnt with acid on the face. We didn't accuse the whole Nigerian nation of some xenophobic agenda against us. Neither did we run to the ANC and ask them to organise an international campaign against Nigeria. This could have happened anywhere in the world, even in our own country. We knew that the Nigerian people and Government were good people, were supportive of our struggle and wishing us well.
My advise to the wives of foreigners is that they should be strong, train their children to be mentally strong and stand up for themselves, teach their children about our struggle and Africa as well as what caused their fathers to come and settle here. I'm also available to help them whatever way possible.
As for Nigerians, I invite you to visit and see with your own eyes what SOME immigrants, including SOME Nigerians, are doing in this country. Sober-minded, hard-working, law-abiding and God-fearing Nigerians who are here legally dislike what their countrymen are doing in this country. Why do you keep saying they hate us? We don't hate Nigerians. We hate crime and criminals belong behind bars or back home where they come from. Advise your countrymen to register themselves as political refugees, business people, experts or students. As long as our Government has your photo, fingerprints and address in South Africa and you stay away from criminal activities, you will have an enjoyable and peaceful stay in South Africa. We can even offer you a wife or husband, if you need one. Even the Zulu King, in my opinion the biggest landowner in this country, apart from Government , can even give you land where you can settle your clan or build your own city. Just do the right thing. Why do you want us to accept that your people should live here illegally, as outlaws? Are you good Nigerians or someone else?
You are mistaken, our President is not stupid. You sound like a greenhorn and stupid idiot. Even with your PhD you'll never do better than him. President Zuma, despite the lack of formal education, was born in one of the most underdeveloped villages of our countrywhich. He joined ANC at the age of 16, joined our guerrilla army at the age of 19, spent 10 years on Robben Island, recruited people and rebuilt the underground structures of his party upon his release from prison, went into exile when it became practically impossible for him to continue his underground work, he was appointed Chief of Intelligence by the late ANC President, Oliver Tambo, he also is credited for stopping the fighting between Inkatha Freedom Party and ANC members which saw thousands of Zulus being manipulated by the apartheid regime to kill each other in the 80s and before the first democratic elections. He is also the man who successfully negotiated the Burundi peace settlement which was started by President Nyerere of Tanzania. Despite all odds, he beat all of us, black and white, to the highest post in the land. Can you match any or all of that with your PhD?
The distortion and dissemination of mendacious information against our country by you and your type as well as the ease with which you accept, believe and act on it, confirms my suspicion that somewhere in the world, hopefully not in Nigeria or South Africa, there is a fifth column that is taking full advantage of your arrogance and lack of knowledge and running a dirty tricks department with a view to cause an irreparable rift between South Africa and Nigeria, thereby setting the stage for Presidents Buhari and Zuma to preside over the worst ever bilateral relations between South Africa and Nigeria, the two Sub Saharan economic powerhouses that must work together and lead Africa's struggle for sustainable development, economic freedom and true independence,

Thank you, you atleast saw some sense in it, it really hurts my heart to think Nigeria has fallen so low in the pecking order of who is who amongst committee of Nations..

Nigerian should search themselves.

You go to Kotonu, nigerian students are filled there reasons because Nigeria can't provide Education as basic as it is.

Go to india, nigerians, malaysia, malta, cyprus, turkey, indonesia, such lowly placed countries that couldn't rant with Nigeria in the early 80's are now miles ahead of Nigeria and I begin to wonder, how low will dis country fall? When would she awaken from her slumber.

I seriously believe in the Buhari candidacy, I just hope no matter how little it is, Buhari should just bring some sanity and decorum to the polity.

Nigerians must learn to be Civil,

Nigerians must learn to be law abiding

Nigerians must learn to follow laid down laws and order


Nigerians must follow Due-Process.

Nigerians are not Barbarians, Nigeria is not a dump ground.

Nigerians must purge their minds, their mentality, their ordeals,

Nigerians must reward Merit and shun Corruption..

For this country to be great again would take a lot, but we can start today, and Yes we can get there!

Home Affairs ‘battling to deal with influx’

May 3, 2015 at 07:00am

By Siyabonga Mkhwanazi

Johannesburg - The tide of illegal immigrants flowing into the country has stretched Home Affairs’ inspectorate to the limit, leading the department to plead for more resources.Home Affairs director-general Mkuseli Apleni, right, enjoys a light moment after briefing the press. Picture: Masi Losi. (Credit: INDEPENDENT MEDIA)

Home Affairs director-general Mkuseli Apleni told MPs this week that his 700-member immigration unit was unable to cope with the “thousands” of illegal immigrants a day who entered the country.

In 2005, the department’s revamped National Immigration Branch was launched to offer a specialist, professional and hi-tech service to incoming foreign visitors and clamp down on illegal immigrants.

The inspectorate is a division of the immigration service.

Apleni told the joint meeting of the committees on police, home affairs, small business development and intelligence this week that his unit’s meagre budget of R181 million was far from adequate for the work involved in tracking down illegal immigrants across the country.

The inspectorate unit was key to stemming the influx, he said.

While some experts have put the number of illegal immigrants in the country at “millions”, Home Affairs says it has recorded more than 330 000 in the past five years.

This figure refers only to foreigners who, since 2010, have overstayed their welcome in South Africa after the expiry of their visas.

But MPs have questioned this figure, saying the true number is “much higher”.

Commenting on the sidelines of the meeting, Apleni repeated that that the R181m budget was simply too small to cope with the influx.

He said there were 700 inspectors – far fewer than the number needed.

The department was planning to appoint a further 170 inspectors.

Yet even this extra number was minuscule in relation to the need, Apleni said.

The inspectorate would need far more people if it was to cope with the growing challenge of illegal migrants.

In his presentation to MPs earlier, Apleni said the inspectorate needed far more funds.

“We have been asking all along for more resources,” he said.

“The Department of Home Affairs has 10 000 staff members, and just 700 of those are in the inspectorate.

“We have 52 million people in South Africa whom we look after from cradle to the grave.

“If you look at the police, they have 200 000 members.”

Apleni said that the SAPS and Home Affairs had huge responsibilities, but unequal resources.

There were hopelessly far too few immigration inspectors to deal with the spiralling number of illegal immigrants.

“That is what we have been crying for in the budget.”

Apleni warned that Home Affairs would need “a lot more money” if it was to meet all the challenges.

He declined to give a figure for the amount of money needed to beef up the immigration inspectorate sufficiently to slow or contain the flow.

The department was briefing MPs in the wake of the xenophobic violence in the country. It also spoke about Home Affairs’ response.

MPs expressed serious concern about the country’s porous borders.

Apleni said that the planned border management agency, which would ensure effective control, would involve all role-player departments and agencies.

It was hoped it would begin work in the next two years.

Apparently, you don't know the difference between ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS being deported, and xenophobia. Ghanaians were not being chased through the streets and murdered. Those who had the foresight to regularize their stay in the country were left alone. Only those without papers were deported.

The only part of your post that made sense was "shame on Nigeria" I agree to that.
