ba7man: @BCraig. I just woke up and found out you stayed up late to do all that posting when everyone else was sleeping. That's bordering on an Obsession.

BCraig:

All night? Er, It happens to be 09:20 PM on June 4, 2013 where I am. It's not even bedtime yet. Time zones baby.

So, good morning to you. With that said, I do need to sleep. Goood night, now. Chow chow. Kissie kissie. Huggie huggie?

ba7man: I dislike it when i hear certain Nigerians making statements like...."We dominate blah, blah" or "We own this percentage of that city"....You can say it within Nigeria without getting smacked but you take that kind of attitude outside and you end up giving people like @BCraig the opportunity to talk trash in return. At the same time @BCraig. I just woke up and found out you stayed up late to do all that posting when everyone else was sleeping. That's bordering on an Obsession.

I worked with a Nigerian in Johannesburg. We were both employed by the same company. I went to university with a Nigerian. He's now an architect in Johannesburg. I also met a Nigerian at business school. We are friends today.

But here's the thing. These Nigerians do not even need to worry about Xenophobia. They are for starters in a different social class, compared to the people that fight against foreigners.

Secondly, their social contract is intact and in the main, no one has reason to have gripes with them. They live in our neighbourhoods and suburbs and everyone is happy. Good immigrants.

Now apart from the fact that they'll never be caught dead in a xenophobic area, they are seen to be contributors.

Sadly, they are not as loud as the Hillbrow types. They aren't as "all over" as the hillbrow types. They aren't as many, I might even say.They aren't part of the image. The lower classes are less exposed to these types of Nigerians. Not in SA anyway. They are far from the noise. Sadly, that's part of the problem. They are too far from the noise.

Having said that, perception management is in the hands of all Nigerians; and it starts from the moment a Nigerian boy says he's leaving Lagos for Joburg. By the same token, xenophobia management is in the hands of South Africa. Failure to look in the mirror breeds chaos; and when both sides perpetuate it, I say: "Ah well, have fun. Don't come crying to me. If you get your head bashed in, it's cause you deserve it"

Somebody better tell Heymaker and Shidibeer that the whole world is tired of their boasting.We should also apologize to South Africans ,we that live in the same country are tired of their drug dealing and general criminality. Of course people see them and say "Nigerians" but we know who they really are and are fed up too!

'catching their fun on the hinternet'

IGBO-SON:


^^^Who da hell is 'Ogbi'!?

It never occurred to you that the xenophobic actions of those South Africans could have something to do with the tough economic situation in that country and widening gap between the haves and have-nots?; the same action has been meted out on Zimbabweans and Somalis, so don't try and make more out of the situation than is actually the case.

You say the whole world is tired of the 'Ogbis' boasting? If you attach much weight to their hinternet bragging to the extent that it riles you up like this, then it only goes to show how immature you are! Anyone could come up and say that they own 70% of my city/state and i'd just see it as someone 'catching their fun on the hinternet' and wouldn't give a flying fuc/k about said claim, especially if i knew what was actually obtainable......i'd only worry if there's some truth in what they're saying, and then i'd ask myself how my people can better measure up; but if i pick up a machete, gather a posse, and with chants of 'nzogbu nzobgu enyimba enyi' match down to the nearest dwellings of the people in question to sack the place, then it only goes to show who the loser actually is.

You say you're tired of the 'Ogbis' drug dealing and criminality? Cool! Now can we know your ethnicity lets see if we're about to discover the very first tribe of saints! Also, i'd take it that the 'Ogbis' are desirous to live in the same country as you and have never made their feelings known to the contrary......and if they have, i'm sure you and your ilk would have wished them goodbye with immediate alacrity!

omonnakoda:

Who be Ogbi??
One man so....,

Him don carry am reach South Africa now make him settle with dem.Why e dey pain you na? Which one be my ethnicity inside.Go ask the South African people and the Kenyan people wetin Ogbi do dem?? Follow dem talk all that ya girama for South Africa.

Tony Spike:

CraigB or Bcraig, this should have been the end of all your posts and let the e-wars end as thus. To buttress your points, may I add the following?

1. The South African economy, needs more specially-skilled and professional hands in relevant fields, than unskilled hands.
2. Most of the Nigerians going to SA are majorly the not-so-skilled hands. This is very obvious if you've ever travelled to SA and boarded the plane with these guys
3. The South African system has a large army of unemployed (and perhaps, unskilled) youths and the stats are climbing up by the day.

From the above premises, isn't it obvious that majority of these migrant Nigerians will ultimately find themselves competing on the streets with a large army of unemployed locals? This is exactly the scenario of many Nigerians in SA. Like I earlier proposed, it is left for the Department of Home-Affairs (DHA) and the SA consulate(s) in Nigeria to yank off the undesirables in the system. With this, it will be a win-win situation for both Nigeria and SA - if and when this is done...

Tumisang: Which part did you not get that >>> " The South African system has a large army of unemployed (and perhaps, unskilled) youths and the
stats are climbing up by the day." So what? Did we say we want our population to increase? And where do those "huge resource" come from, heaven? The only people that my govt should be concerning themselves with is our people and nobody else.
The best solution is for Nigeria to provide for his people.
Funny that you hate SA and SA(ns) with a passion yet you're on here wanting it to ease your burden. SA has 9-provinces and I'm sorry to have to tell you this but Nigeria is not one of them!

Adamskuty: mumu how many nigerians are in ur stupid hiv country Like ur fellow southafricans ain't here infecting us with aids too Everywhere in lagos,u will see them doing all sort of crimes,prostitution especially...ewww!


And why are most unemployed and un-skilled southafricans black

and pls don't call them nigerians,majority of those people are igbos A.K.A biafrains,we nigerians will soon chase them out as well!

all4naija: This is always the area South Africans lacked intelligence. The truth is that if you don't make good use of them they will make bad use of your country.

Keep living your fear of foreigners, your utmost xenophobic world, it won't help you.

Tumisang: If you were intelligent at all. You would encourage your people to regroup and fight a system (Naija govt) that forces them to go live in other countries. Instead of supporting their cowardice move of running away from their problems.

Yet you want the same xenophobic country to help y'all.
Are you okay, genius
