Bad Attitude:

[b]“All the members of the community had a meeting on Friday on the need to curb the selling and usage of drugs in the community. On Saturday a teenager committed suicide in a police custody and by Sunday some members of the community led by the ANC Youth League leader came to our houses asking us to leave the community.


“They said we are the ones selling drugs to their children. They destroyed and looted our property and one Nigerian was seriously beaten and is on admission in a hospital in Johannesburg now,” Ndubisi said.
He said that the attack, which targeted Nigerians only, can be attributed to envy and jealousy about the success of Nigerian businesses in the community amidst poverty and unemployment among South Africans living in the community.

Reacting to the attack, the Nigerian Consulate in Johanneburg, South Africa today criticised what it described as the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians living in the country.

Mr. Okey Emuchay, the Consulate-General of Nigeria in Johannesburg, said in Springbok, in the Northern Province of South Africa, that labelling all Nigerians in the country as drug dealers was “unacceptable.”
Emuchay said that it was the duty of the South African police to provide safety for South Africans and foreigners living in the country.

“We are not asking for too much from the South African government, it is the duty of the South African police to provide safety and security for every one living in South Africa.

“The Nigerian government will not send the Nigerian police to come and protect our nationals just like the South African government will not send her police to protect South Africans living and working in Nigeria.[/b]

zeem_bab: I work and live in J'borg. For some of us exparts living in SA, the burden of being a Nigerian is enormous. Simply because our kinsmen are at the fore front of drug dealing and many other social vices. Much that I condemn the act of these people, I think they have the right within the ambit of law to do whatever they deem neccesary to get rid of whatever constitute threat to their community.

all4naija: South African blacks are barbaric!

chelseabmw: Am in south Africa currently and i can tell you guys that 98% of Nigerians living in yeoville and Hillbrow are drug dealers.. And these places are dominated by Nigerians with no single south Africa citizen there....


Out of twelve there is always Judas..... They should stop labeling Nigerians as bad people as all Nigerians are not bad

speedyboi:

Most Nigerians don't travel out of the country cos they are broke, They leave the country cos they want to 'travel out'. I've seen a person who resigned a well paid job, sold his property just to buy a ticket to 'travel out'. Only to become nuisance in another man's country. Nigerians have a huge pack of Inferiority complex in their DNA. I will always advise anyone; Instead of 'traveling out' to waste away your life, use your ticket money to start something out of your life. My 50 kobo.





And to those shouting racism, South Africa is a black nation for crying out loud!

I am afraid that our country is going to be on the news again but unfortunately as a result of false reporting and manipulation of media by criminals who always use the democratic status of any country that is their host. The piece written above could not be much further than the truth, as it is now. Before we all come and call South African names and insults, my advice is to get all the facts as there are always three sides to any story and once you get all the facts put yourself, your family and your community in the same position if then you honestly think you would not react to this the same way some people have reacted then you are among the few better people in this world.

Before attacking my response understand that I do not condone people being attacked and respect even the fact they were told they must leave rather tan attacking them. I so wish Africa had a better solution to its problems either than destroying other people to survive.

The bolded above is a lie. As the raids started with communities raiding local gangsters who have been terrorizing and killing people in their communities, a dozen of some of the culprits who are South Africans were attacked and currently in hospital and two others died. And because of the realization that their communities were turning into crime havens and the root of all that was drug addiction which leaves the addicts ready t kill everyone and anyone including family members to score more drugs.

Coming to the Nigerians being targeted especially the ones in these communities are very much known to be selling drugs and are pimped by their customers in the same communities. So to say that police must arrest them it will not help as they will always hide the drugs before raids as the same police are corrupt and will take a bribe and tip the drug dealers about upcoming raids.

South African democracy has very bitter sweet to especially black South Africans, drugs were never know to be used or even accessible to these communities especially kids as young as 12 years old. the drug of choice even then used by older criminals who have been jailed was weed and mandrax. Unfortunately lately it is unbearable to the level of crime, rape and murder in the country perpetuated against the young and old in these communities.

For ones I would like to see Nigerians all over the world condemning the sale of drugs and the child trafficking done by Nigerians in other countries. I am not saying only Nigerians do this but most local drug dealers and traffickers are affiliated with Nigerians somewhere some how. I know many of you will say why are kids taking drug they are not forced but why are teenagers having sex or do anything that they are not suppose to do.

So instead of shouting they 'hate us and are jealous of us' why don't you condemn this horrible act? There are great Nigerians in South Africa that occupy very high positions in public and private business,business owners etc, who are working hard to make their mark and improve the image of the Nigerian people in the country unfortunately the criminal ones are making it hard for the others to do so because they bare the same Nigerian tittle. And these people would be protected by the same communities if anyone would try and touch them. like a guy who has tire centre in some township in Cape Town and many others like him, they are known by their trade and are respected and loved,as result I do not see anyone who can accuse them and not be attacked by the communities. their communities would defend them with their lives.

so before you assume that South Africans are brainless when you have all the brains, why don't use them for once... JUST ONCE!!! As much as this saddens me it also saddens me that we are also in our own private war with our brothers, sisters who are completely massed up by drugs and seemingly no one cares as long as the can shout XENOPHOBIA to continue their inhuman way of making money.

Unfortunately South Africans do not let things be,, they believe in sorting things out!

patriot4: So basically, what you are saying is that your police is corrupt so you must attack Nigerians.
And that every crime in your country is related to Nigerians.
SO basically you are here calling us names. And you think we should thank you !
I think we should do the same to South Africans living in Nigeria.
You must know your country owns many companies in Nigeria, what if we took those companies.

gothrones:

This is an asinine statement. Why would you choose to cast a large net over a group of people for the putative actions of a few? I would surely censure anyone who claims that Nigerians are barbaric after all the unfortunate and obscene acts of violence committed by a few of our folks. Every country has its share of lunatics.

You lots need to calm down and act rationally. I am not countenancing violence against anyone, but we need to stop acting as if we are any more civilized than they are. If we don't respect and protect our citizens, why should we expect foreigners to do so?

gothrones:

You need to learn to read properly. Where did I say what happen might have been justified? We don't know the truth of what happened. We have only heard one side.

Secondly, most police are corrupt including Nigerian Police if not the most corrupt.

all4naija: These are the same people claiming their companies are milking Nigeria. Can you believe their very ways of reasoning is faulted? Jeez! These guys are way primitive than I thought somehow.

sweetcheecks:

all4naija: Later somebody would come around and expect me to have respect for South African blacks. Jeez! Not in this life time. Not in the present generation of things where they have consistently prove that they don't deserve to be respected.

This shows what is happening in that society they claimed is safer than Nigeria, yet foreigners are driven out of their homes and attacked. Foreigners are attacked on the streets for xenophobic inclinations,etc. This just proved to us these people have grouches in their hearts toward others. They are not people to live with with a free mind. They think they have it all the reason African immigrants are coming into their country so such people should be threatened and enslaved by all means possible.

Go with your evil intentions, Saffer(as they are called in this forum sometimes), blacks. We are watching you and recording your actions. They will be played back to you in due courses. Nemesis will catch up with you guys when you need Africans the most.

sweetcheecks:

Please you are welcome to the same to South Africans who are doing criminal acts in Nigeria. You are even welcome to kick MTN, MULTICHOICE ETC out if you think they are being criminals. Unfortunately all4naija lost logic longtime ago so your calling anyone primitive is a projection here. Becouse your people will suffer more, how many jobs are created by just MTN in Nigeria? How many of those jobs are held by SAcans? Be carefull not to cut your nose to spite your face. WORD!

patriot4:

SO I guess what you mean is that no matter what the community does, it must be justified. Surely those people must be criminals.
Even their kids must be criminals. You know what, I don't want to argue, let Nigerians just do the same in Nigeria.
Let us nationalize South African companies, let us do it as a community. Surely our actions will also be justified.
And let our communities chase South Africans out of their houses in Nigeria.

REALITY101: But seriously Nigerians are like swine flu.. Loud, corrupt/fraud ...home/ abroad and badass pollution..

And let our communities chase South Africans out of their houses in Nigeria. Because according to you it is justified.
And your attempt to use sentiments on us by bringing boko haram to this matter has failed. All we are asking for people in the north is to report boko haram to the authorities. Actually the people in Nigeria acting like those your mob people is boko haram themselves, because they are busy killing christians and
southerners while blaming them for any ill of the north.

Really? Do not give yourself a heart attack broer, we do not give a dammn about your respect Nigerians who are involved in these thing do not respect themselves and other Nigerians who are proud and not criminal.

c.fours:
na today. Even within Nigeria, that's what they do.
By 'they', I am referring to Ndubisi, Emuchay, Nkechukwu Anyene and his fellow people.

dealing in shady schemes and then accusing people of 'envy and jealousy' when they refuse to tolerate your rubbish. At least, why not go back to your place of birth in the east and sell drugs there.

funny how he (Ndubisi) calls himself a spokesman for 'Nigeria"

sweetcheecks:

Your thinking seem to dodge logic, I have said beforenot only Nigerians were target but local gangsters who were attacked and killed,
I have also said do as you please to the SAcans in Nigeria and nationalise their companies. All the SA companies in Nigeria are listed so the implications you have also thought about and can handle I am sure. Again becareful of not cutting your nose to spite your face.

And besides if in Africa alone a poll among all the AU countries would be taken it will all indicate that more not all more Nigerians deal with drugs in all these countries than the natives. I rest my case.
