I do not know why they got beat up and no one here does right? . So let's all be objective. If you assume it's xenophobia then we will assume it's crime ...see ? Going in circles . Until someone brings the full story, I guess we will never know the truth.

No. I'm not assuming anything at all. It could be so many reasons, xenophobia even. Be honest, Nigerians aren't the only ones committing crimes in South Africa. Why is it every time one is beaten or killed, they are associated as one? No one even bothers to find out the reason, y'all just say. "Oh well, He's Nigerian. He's probably into drugs."
That said, Can I ask... Do you know or have you seen any drug peddling Nigerian. Please, do tell. If they are as many as people say, then you probably must have met/seen one.

And you are right, we'll never know the truth. but to be clear, we are on the same side.

and now I want you to look at those two beaten Nigerians,just look at them and tell me what you see

Even Stevie Wonder will tell you that they are criminals,they left Nigeria thinking that they can live off the blood of the host.

One more thing...if SA is such a xenophobic country why are they still making long queues in their countries in the hope of getting a South African visa?







Hahahaha one of the posters here said they were Doctors grin. Yeah they are always duping each other about how easy it is in other countries to make it and when they get there and are faced with reality they do what they do best.




Beats me heyy undecided , ......they are forever queuing even at home affairs renewing papers, some trying to bribe their way to staying longer. Why ? . Why not live this rubbish country o ? Lol

Hahahaha now I will attack people because of their nationality ....wonders shall never end lol.


Lol Sir stop lying not all Black Africans were attacked it was the Zimbabweans and Mozambiqans and I told you why and by who and I also said I thought the people were crazy for doing that. Somalians shops were looted during these attacks with South African owned shops too . Tell me how many Ghanaians? What about Senegalese Mr Black Africans lol. How about Cameroonians? Oh wait these ain't black. Malians? Please why were Kenyans spared? Zambians?. We have many people from Swaziland,Lesotho,Botswana as well. Black africans are hunted down in deed lol . Nigerians were not attacked in those xenophobic attacks . Whenever a Nigerian is singled out its mostly due to crime be angry all you want.

Again I never said I support what happened but don't go around here lying and making it seem there are black skin hunters here it's pathetic really lol.

And here, ladies and gentleman, we have the clear example of the mindset of these xenophobes who think that targeting a certain group of nationality, every few yrs, shouldn't be called what it really is (so they can probably slaughter more innocent Africans) ... A clear example during the last attacks were the Ghanaian dude lynched by these we savage and the innocent Nigerian that had his whole car business garage burned down, as he miraculously escape with his life. But here, we still have some people who will try to mix everything and say that since some Nigerians are drug dealers, and poor ZIMBABWEANS/MOZAMBICANS live in poor areas bla bla bla, nonsense!

Here are the simple FACTS:
A) xenophobic attacks are wrong. FACT!!!
B) South African do these xenophobic attacks every few yrs towards black Africans (irrespective of their nationalities). FACT!!!
C) the below picture of the last xenophobic attacks are a FACT that these people won't ask for your ID to kill any foreigner, they will even attack children, and loot foreigners with legit businesses.

I agree with you it could be anything crime included. No one in their right mind would think it's only Nigerians committing crimes in South Africa....local criminals and other nationals do it too. I could throw that question back at you , why is that when one of you is killed or beaten you jump to xenophobia without any facts? . Yes I had seen many where I used to live before and we used to report them daily . Sir we also have a high number of your people languishing in our jails mainly because of drug peddling ,human trafficking and rape. My point is that unfortunately when one meets a Nigerian until they can prove otherwise "thinks " crime. Yes we can never know.

South Africa has a stronger military than Nigeria.

Not according to Global Firepower Index Ranking. We are 4th in Africa, they are 5th. We have 200,000 Armed personnel. They have 62,000, They have a stronger Navy with 2 Subnarines.We have a stronger Airforce with more combat aircraft, 22 Alpha Jets, 3 JF-17 thunder multi role fighters, 20 L-39 trainers, 22 Mi-34/24 attack helicopters, 7 Mi-17sh 7sh helicopters, 5 Hercules C-130 TRANSPORT aircrafts, 5 satellites and other utility aircrafts.

South Africa has a far more advanced military but less capable. They have Gripens but only 6 qualified pilots. They have 12 Roovial helicopters and a dozen or so Cheetah aircraft. Advanced yes but too small to make an impact. When we got out ass whooped by Boko Haram we swallowed our pride and learned from the Chadians the art of Counter Insurgency, which most armies are not trauned and doctrined to fight. We learnt fast and even hired SA mercenaries to train our Special Forces. Today the Americans and British want to learn how we whooped Boko Haram in 6 months.

South Africa got their ass whooped in Central Africa and fled, leaving 16 of their fallen comrade behind. What they were doing in CAR till this day I dont know. But Instead is them to come to us and learn about peace keeping combat operations what did they do? They with Obama sought to cripple out war effort , they ceased funds meant for weapons procurement just to embarrass our government to cover up their failed assets. They see everything as competition for geopolitical supremacy with Nigeria.

Not saying South Africans are evil. But optics matter. The whole world will not take the black race serious when they see us lynching ourselves with in age likes this. Images like this in a country that enjoyed global sympathy during apthertheid is paradoxical madness.
Re: South Africans Brutalize Two Nigerian Guys (Graphic Photos) by Nobody: 3:35pm On May 15, 2017
.,...., and citing less attacks on Nigerians is no game maker. The only reason Nigerians are not attacked en mass is because Nigeria is the only country in Africa with enough economic and political clout to retaliate in kind. Those people in these images from Zimbabwe or where ever are people's children, husbands...fathers. I just don't know what is wrong with the black race. Same thing is happening in America. Black on black crime is worse..but whenever there is a cop vs black man shootout the whole media erupts in stupid hysterical. As long as we blacks hate each other we will remain bottom of the food chain.

I[b]n March 1960, 69 black people were massacred in Sharpeville, South Africa, by the white apartheid police. That same year, Nigeria successfully liberated itself from 160-year British occupation.
[/b]
The new Nigeria’s leaders’ reaction to the Sharpeville massacre has changed everything in South Africa from then on. Here is a letter Nigeria’s Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa sent to the African National Congress (ANC) militants on April 4, 1961.

Immediately after sending the letter, Sir Balewa lobbied for the effective expulsion of South Africa from the Commonwealth in 1961.

Beyond political support, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was the first leader to provide a direct financial aid to the ANC from the early 1960s. At the height of the liberation movement in the 1970s, Nigeria alone provided $5-million annual subvention to the ANC and the Pan Africanist Congress (PAC) annually.

In 1976, Nigeria set up the Southern Africa Relief Fund (SAFR) destined to bring relief to the victims of the apartheid regime in South Africa, provide educational opportunities to them and promote general welfare.

The military administration of General Obasanjo contributed $3.7 million to the fund. Moreover, General Obasanjo made a personal donation of $3,000, while each member of his cabinet also made personal contributions of $1,500 each. All Nigeria’s civil servants and public officers made a 2% donation from their monthly salary to the SAFR. Students skipped their lunch to make donations, and just in 6 months, in June 1977, the popular contribution to the fund reached $10.5 million.

The donations to the SAFR were widely known in Nigeria as the “Mandela tax”.

As a result of the fund’s work, a first group of 86 South African students arrived in Nigeria in 1976, following the disruption of the education system in South Africa. It happened after the massacre of 700 students by the white police while the former were protesting against the decision by the apartheid regime to change their education language to Afrikaans.

Hundreds of South African students have benefited from the fund’s activity having come to study in Nigeria for free.

Beyond welcoming students and exiles, Nigeria had also welcomed many renowned South Africans like Thabo Mbeki (former South African president from 1999 to 2008). He had spent 7 years in Nigeria, from 1977 to 1984, before he left to the ANC headquarters in Lusaka, Zambia.

For South Africans, who could not travel abroad because the apartheid regime had withdrawn their passports, Nigeria’s government issued more than 300 passports.

Along with fellow African countries Nigeria lobbied for the creation of the United Nations Special Committee against Apartheid and chaired it for 30 years, longer than any other country.

Between 1973 and 1978, Nigeria contributed $39,040 to the UN Educational and Training Programme for Southern Africa, a voluntary trust fund promoting education of the black South African elite.

As for trade, Nigeria had refused to sell oil to South Africa for decades in protest against the white minority rule. Nigeria had lost approximately $41 billion during that period.

Above all, Nigeria was the only nation worldwide to set up the National Committee Against Apartheid (NACAP) as early as in 1960. The committee’s mission was to disseminate the evils of the apartheid regime to all Nigerians from primary schools to universities, in public media and in markets, through posters and billboards messages.

The NACAP was also responsible for the coordination of Nigeria’s government and civil society joint anti-apartheid actions and advising of policy makers on anti-apartheid decisions. For over three decades the NACAP had successfully built alliances with labor movement, student groups, progressive elements and other international grassroots organizations within Nigeria for effective anti-apartheid activities.

In fact, until 1960s, the ANC fight against the apartheid regime in South Africa was yielding very small results. The whole world was quite indifferent to the suffering of the black South Africans. Moreover, western countries strongly supported the apartheid regime providing it with technologies, intelligence and favorable trade agreements.

Things started changing dramatically only after African countries became independent in the 1960s. Nigeria unequivocally took over leadership of the anti-apartheid movement worldwide.

Despite the volatile nature of Nigeria’s politics and the passage of numerous military and civil leaders, Nigeria has never abandoned its unwavering commitment to the freedom of our brothers and sisters in South Africa.

From 1960 to 1995, Nigeria has alone spent over $61 billion to support the end of apartheid, more than any other country in the world, according to the South African Institute of International Affairs. The country has never let go of any opportunity to denounce apartheid, from the boycott of Olympic Games and Commonwealth Games to the nationalization of British Petroleum assets in 1979.

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.

Hundreds of South African students have benefited from the fund’s activity having come to study in Nigeria for free.

Beyond welcoming students and exiles, Nigeria had also welcomed many renowned South Africans like Thabo Mbeki (former South African president from 1999 to 2008). He had spent 7 years in Nigeria, from 1977 to 1984, before he left to the ANC headquarters in Lusaka, Zambia.

For South Africans, who could not travel abroad because the apartheid regime had withdrawn their passports, Nigeria’s government issued more than 300 passports.

Along with fellow African countries Nigeria lobbied for the creation of the United Nations Special Committee against Apartheid and chaired it for 30 years, longer than any other country.

Between 1973 and 1978, Nigeria contributed $39,040 to the UN Educational and Training Programme for Southern Africa, a voluntary trust fund promoting education of the black South African elite.

As for trade, Nigeria had refused to sell oil to South Africa for decades in protest against the white minority rule. Nigeria had lost approximately $41 billion during that period.

Above all, Nigeria was the only nation worldwide to set up the National Committee Against Apartheid (NACAP) as early as in 1960. The committee’s mission was to disseminate the evils of the apartheid regime to all Nigerians from primary schools to universities, in public media and in markets, through posters and billboards messages.

The NACAP was also responsible for the coordination of Nigeria’s government and civil society joint anti-apartheid actions and advising of policy makers on anti-apartheid decisions. For over three decades the NACAP had successfully built alliances with labor movement, student groups, progressive elements and other international grassroots organizations within Nigeria for effective anti-apartheid activities.

In fact, until 1960s, the ANC fight against the apartheid regime in South Africa was yielding very small results. The whole world was quite indifferent to the suffering of the black South Africans. Moreover, western countries strongly supported the apartheid regime providing it with technologies, intelligence and favorable trade agreements.

Things started changing dramatically only after African countries became independent in the 1960s. Nigeria unequivocally took over leadership of the anti-apartheid movement worldwide.

Despite the volatile nature of Nigeria’s politics and the passage of numerous military and civil leaders, Nigeria has never abandoned its unwavering commitment to the freedom of our brothers and sisters in South Africa.

From 1960 to 1995, Nigeria has alone spent over $61 billion to support the end of apartheid, more than any other country in the world, according to the South African Institute of International Affairs. The country has never let go of any opportunity to denounce apartheid, from the boycott of Olympic Games and Commonwealth Games to the nationalization of British Petroleum assets in 1979.

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.
