Not good enough! So because your father helped my father in the past, your Children will now take that as an excuse to be Destroying my properties non stop?
People cannot leave Nigeria because of hard economy and then travel out to a better place and then start committing Crimes there. It just doesn't work that way. Why not just remain in your Country instead? We are Speaking out now because of the attacks, but name one Country that we have not managed to Soil our name and image? Even Ghana our neighbors, cant stand Nigerians because of crimes. Kenyans are already saying they WIll like to do same to Nigerians because of the crimes Nigerians are doing there. So before we blame others, let us first look inwards.

Maybe Nigeria should stop patronising the South African companies for a while, then I guess the investor will inform their government and government will have to educate their citizens on consequences and prevent future occurrences

So, they should look the other way and let Nigerians destroy their land because in the past Nigeria helped fight for freedom? So the fact that I did you one good in the past, means I can start doing 1000 damages and expect you to sit back and endure? Nigerians with their endurance mentality. If Nigeria so much cared about the happiness of SA, why then turn around to damage the society?

These kind of useless empty threat makes me hate naija government right now! In less than two years NIGERIA union in SA recorded over 200 murder cases and mostly perpetrated By South Africans! No doubt ones need to be law abiding and respect the constituted authority of your host nation, but I can say it emphatically that South Africa government are technically behind these attacks and whatever they says outside the country is hypocritical and should be taken as a huge lies! For people who knows SA very well, for quite some years now they've been refusing Nigerians reside vitals document to do legitimate work or grant them a business permit to enable them to open their personal businesses! The implication of these us that 80 % Nigerian living in SA are automatically an illegal immigrant! Not because they choose to but because SA government keep denying them the needed documents! The same can't be said about nigeria government to SA citizens! The business keep thriving in Lagos n Abuja because our figure head government know nothing about diplomacy n international relations! The plight of Nigerians in SA is quite pathetic! Some already stay there for over a decade with legitimate business n he stand to loose everything just like a flash in a pan! SA government or police won't protect him avid our great Nigerian government refuse to act! By the why is it that each time immigration officers comb naija houses asking for papers that's when u hear about xenophobic attacks! Naija enough is enough! If u don't fight fir your brothers nobody will! Expect more corpses back home coz no one will stop them from their planned attack today n tomorrow! Not even SA police will stop these lazy blood sucking Zulus

What do you mean law? Isn't lawlessness a law in Africa? Has Law curbed any menace in the past? How comes Christians being killed in Southerner kaduna hasn't tasted a tip of the law? Or is it just a mere written shits?

There are times you just need to promote self-defence, Government hasn't done anything to curb these guys and yu wouldn't expect them to wait till it overly gets outa hand all in the name of one Law that would never take effect. Watch Nigerians's brain restored to normal courtesy of the attacks.

Unfortunately, our brothers and sisters in South Africa have not been grateful to Nigeria. When Mandela passed away in 2013, Nigeria’s president was not even given the opportunity to speak. At the same time, the representatives of the US and the UK, two countries supporting the apartheid regime, were in the spotlight. Nigerians still need visas to travel to South Africa, while the French, who used to back the apartheid regime, can just buy a ticket and go wherever they want.

Maybe, apartheid has not yet ended in South Africa.

What is your take on other nationals being targeted and got killed as well...

Zimbabweans: taking their jobs

Somalians : taking their businesses

Ethiopians : not employing locals in their shops

Nigerians : selling drugs and taking their women

Malawians : Accepting cheap labours

Whites : Racism and capitalist

the list is endless but in as much as I'm not in support of criminal behaviours especially immigrants, S A blacks are always in look out for an opportunity to loot people's belongings and kill

Put sentiments aside, Govt should use heavy tax burden on foreign companies to keep this foreign enterprises in check. Anyone that decides to leave nigeria will be replaced with nigerian enterprises. There are eager local investors yearning to thrive in this country that is not been given the environment to excel.

Bullshit talk. If they had done as you said, we will be behaving like animals towards other Africans just as South Africans are doing. Many years of suppression of the brain/mind can do so much damage to a people.
I don't envy the black South Africans, I only feel sorry for the ones who have refused to emancipate themselves from mental blockage.

As you can see from the foolish comments in this thread it isn't just black South Africans who need to emancipate themselves from mental blockage, clearly there are a lot of Nigerians who are suffering from the same problem.

Incidentally, both groups have a tendency towards religious obsession.

A Reprisal attack against South Africa’s business interests in Nigeria could do huge damage to its economy, those who have been following the ongoing xenophobic attacks against other Africans in South Africa told The Guardian yesterday.

Although most business analysts — including the Director-General of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Muda Yusuf — dismissed concerns over reprisal, they said South Africa has firm grip on major sectors of the Nigerian economy and could lose badly unless it does more to stop the recurring attacks.

Most of the attacks in South Africa occur in areas occupied by black Africans. “Cape Town is governed by the opposition party and they are mainly whites and coloured. The problems are always within the areas dominated by blacks,” says Cape Town-based medical doctor, Mr. JohnMartins Chinedu Mbamalu.

During his last visit to Nigeria, President Jacob Zuma said there were 120 big South African companies in Nigeria, sparking off debate on obvious trade imbalance and lopsided economic ties between both countries.

While South African companies in Nigeria are believed to be experiencing growth and patronage, Nigerian companies in South Africa complain of socio-economic asphyxiation. Business leader and president of the more than one million Nigerian residents was quoted as saying that South Africans have in place “some laws to ensure that foreign businesses do not thrive in their country.”

South Africa’s leading companies in Nigeria include MTN, Power Giant, Eskom Nigeria, South African Airways, South African Breweries (SAB miller), Stanbic Merchant Bank of Nigeria, Multichoice and Umgeni Water.

Others include Refresh products, PEP Retail Stores, Shoprite, LTA Construction, Protea Hotels, Critical Rescue International, South African-Nigeria Communications, Global Outdoor Semces, Oracle and Airtime. Experts say entry and growth of Africa’s interests and businesses in the current democratic dispensation have been ‘phenomenal,” moving from just four, in 1999, to 120 in 2016.

“Reprisal attack is a possibility but I’m hoping it does not happen”, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, President Muhammadu Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Foreign Affairs and the Diaspora, told The Guardian. “ The South African government can do much better,” she said, stressing that a mayor in Pretoria made inciting statements that fuelled attacks on Nigerians and other Africans, especially Zimbabweans. “No responsible government will encourage reprisal because that will mean bringing yourself lower than them,” she cautioned.

Dabiri-Erewa said: “The Nigeria Mission in South Africa has met with the South African Police authorities and they have assured us they will (henceforth) provide protection for Nigerians.” Erewa-Dabiri, who on Monday urged the African Union (AU) to prevail on South African authorities to halt the attacks, however, noted that self-help or reciprocity could worsen the issue.

In a statement in Abuja Dabiri-Erewa had described the attacks as “unnecessary setback.”
Dabiri-Erewa said the AU was being called to intervene because information had it that there would be fresh xenophobic attacks against foreigners today and tomorrow.

In a telephone interview with The Guardian yesterday, Erewa-Dabiri said the latest attack was done by “just a small part of” South Africa’s population . Some time ago, we used the principle of reciprocity; when they (South Africa) turned back an Arik aircraft, we turned theirs back. But this is the time for the AU to intervene.”

Yusuf who runs the Lagos chamber of commerce dismissed the possibility of reprisal attacks on South African businesses in Nigeria, noting that, unlike small businesses predominantly owned by Nigerians in South Africa, most of the South African ventures are large enterprises.

“There may be a couple of protests but Nigerians are not violent and would not toe the line of South Africans. Moreover, Nigerians benefit largely from South African businesses in the country through employment, as many of the businesses have over 90 per cent of Nigerians as their employees. So there may not be the need for such an action.

“Nigerians have a lot to lose if such reprisal actions occur. However, I do not see that happening. Nigerians are not crude”, he added.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian government while strongly condemning the incident “urged the South African government to take the strongest measures to protect the lives and property of foreigners living in South Africa and also to quickly bring to justice the perpetrators of these heinous crimes”.

The government in a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs observed that incidents of xenophobic attacks have continued unabated in South Africa since 2015, and that Nigerians are among the groups that have been mainly targeted for attack and looting of their property.

The Ministry, however, urged Nigerians in South Africa to remain calm and law-abiding, adding that high-level communications aimed at permanently resolving the crisis have commenced. It nonetheless advised Nigerians in South Africa to be vigilant.

In the same vein, the Senate has called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to immediately review Nigeria’s foreign policy following the attacks.

Besides, the government of South Africa has condemned the xenophobic violence describing it as not only despicable but demeaning of the African people.

Martin's Luther King fought against racism in America and white supremacy over black, now I wonder who will fight against black nation against black nation when it start,call it xenophobia or whatever you like but trust me If AU, ECOWAS, and other bodies and humanitarian organizations do nothing about this trend coming up Africa and black nation will become extinct because a house that is crumble from within is disastrous and might take generations to fix not years.
