Botswana Plans To Deport Nigerians? by Nobody: 9:31pm On Aug 15, 2013 |
Nigerians resident in Botswana have appealed to President Goodluck Jonathan to intervene over what they described as a clear case of hatred and racism against them. http://dailypost.com.ng/2013/08/13/botswana-based-nigerians-seek-president-jonathans-intervention-over-mass-deportation/ www.codewit.com/africa/11031-botswana-based-nigerians-seek-president-jonathan-s-intervention-over-mass-deportation |

. let them do whatever they like, it is their country, they are acting that way because we choose to run away from our problem like we don't care and think they will accept us without criticism, if our own country was better we wouldn't have any reason to seek refuge in Bostwana. |

“The Acting High Commissioner wrote the immigration requesting to meet with him on the issue Monday but all to no avail, we haven’t got from them officially. We learnt, though unofficially, that the authorities made a similar arrest of China citizens last week but we don’t have details. We won’t relent in defending the interest our people here. We have to continue with the struggle”. “We counted 27 Nigerians in detention that Saturday and most of them are from Imo and Edo, Delta and Rivers States, nobody from South West and Northern states”, he added. [/quote] ASSUMING THIS REPORT IS CREDIBLE, then ...not much surprise there. Why is it whenever the locals are fed up with Nigerians and ask them to leave, they always go on about being disturbed from running their 'business.' Everything boils down to 'business' 'business' 'business.' Claiming a right to being left alone to do business in another man's land without reciprocating by abiding by their laws, and most importantly hating on your hosts is never going to get you anywhere. First China; Then South Africa; And Kenya; Then Lagos; Now, Botswana. Seriously, you guys have to check yourself, and see what you are doing wrong. You will find Japanese doing business in most countries, but you never hear them making trouble or claiming a God-given right to 'do business' on their own terms. 43 Likes |

@Post Hmmmmm. Right now, we Nigerians should not even complain because when Nigerians are deporting Nigerians in our own country, what do you expect other Africans to do to us? When a country is not united, it is the citizens who suffer. Everything becomes fair game. I feel sorry for the plight of these Nigerians in Botswana. At the end of the day, I don't even know which is worse: living in the western world and being subjected to anti-black racism or live in Nigeria and be subjected to tribalism, insecurity, lack of electricity supply etc or live in other African countries and be subjected to black-on-black hatred and discrimination, torture and sudden deportation? Black Africans are beginning to scare me. God, you are still on the throne. Protect us from the hands of our enemies. 37 Likes |

The ignorance on this thread is record breaking Botswana has the highest standard of living in Africa and is rated as the most stable government. This is a result of neglected education for the generation of nigerians that are now old enough to travel. Nigerians have an extremely dim understanding of the rest of the world and themselves and will find themselves crawling the globe to humiliate their own lives. I don't believe it's primarily igbos by far that are leading this global foolishness, but before we start saying it's and igbo problem we have to realize it's really a national one. Igbos are ambitious, nobody will take that from them but it's almost impossible to convince them what they own is better than what they can possiby own or have and that's what leads to their desperate nature. Yorubas are fearful, nobody will take that from them either. A yoruba person is not going to risk what he has, even if it's very little, no matter the reward and don't typically think outside of what's theres. Many yorubas don't know there was a civil war in Nigeria. The reason I point this difference out is because the igbo ignorance is manifesting in travelling the world blindly and becoming a nuisance and the yoruba ignorance is manifesting in not being able to think or look outside of the very narrow box they already have, hence poverty and a total ignorance of anything outside of their family and region. They typically don't want more because they don't know there's is more out there and would rather brag about whats been done that complain about the need to do more. the root of the problem is ignorance. While igbos are developing and even destroying other places, their homeland is neglected, and while yorubas are boxed in by fear their homeland remains stagnant. This is why the two regions of africa that should be the most developed, aren't. ignorance mixed with our respective cultural nature isn't doing anything for us. 76 Likes 1 Share |

By the way, I just noticed that the title of this thread is misleading. The title states that Botswana is deporting Nigerian destitute but the article says this: "Many law-abiding Nigerians with official permits doing their legitimate businesses here in Botswana were massively arrested, beaten, detained and were refused visit by their relations." So how can you call people who own legitimate businesses and have legal permits to live and do business in Botswana destitute? Zetdee, I know you are one of the bigoted south Africans we have on this forum who hates Nigerians. You better change the title of your thread to a more appropriate title reflecting on what was said in the article before the moderators do it for you. 3 Likes |

Right. I see that there is only 1 core SE state listed in that article. The rest of those states are South South. I guess the bigots here conveniently left that fact out when they started shouting about Igbos. The Niger-Deltan anti-igbo freedom fighters are also conspicuously silent - I'm thinking that they don't mind being lumped with Igbos on select occasions. Not surprisingly, any future attempts of Igbos to unite with their SS brothers will still be shut down with accusations of dominance and "attache" mentality. Just another day in NL. 15 Likes |

Ikengawo: The ignorance on this thread is record breaking I'm trying to make a sense of what you wrote up here. I'm a Yoruba and I don't generally agree that we are fearful. The difference between a Yoruba and an Igbo is basically between temperamental attitude and cultural programming. I won't bother explaining the concepts, but in the long run, a Yoruba is your typical calculative risk-taker, deep thinker, law-abiding, not necessarily over-ambitious, practical, quiet achiever and considerate. Temperamentally, the Yorubas are like the British, while the Igbos are like the Germans. Those two countries are always at loggerhead...hey, I'm not racist! Based on my premises above, you can guess why Igbos are likely to be affected by any immigration laws wherever they are. 59 Likes 1 Share |

In South Africa They are killing them because of drugs and marrying their women for papers. In kenya, they deporting igbo's cuz they dont have a distinctive personalities. The same thing in sudan, Ivory coast, and so many countries in Africa. Dont lemme talk about the way they are using igbo men head for rituals in india, malaysia, japaan and China. 10 Likes |
