A nigerian wishing another nigerian dead just because he is expressing his view, shows so much about us!
Nigerian students are killed everywhere in the world including Nigeria does it mean xenophobic?
dude stop saying trash and quit misleading innocent nigerians that everything is absolutely ok in south africa. I think if the reasonable south africans that embarked on a serious campaign about xenophobic attack reason like you, I believe everybody will still be in the dark. Even south Africans have admitted the bitter truth that xenophobia is deeply rooted in their country, I don't understand why you a immigrant is trying to hide the fact from the rest of the world. What is wrong with you?

And as for the record, you are sick man for saying nigerians are killed in e every country in the world and it shouldn't be a big deal

The OP has told a bitter truth but as usual we will always hv pple who will differ. Whether because dey just like to b on d opposing side or sheer stupidity. Its a simple msg, if u want to live in anoda country try and b well schooled/hv a gud paying job. Dont go n constitute 2 nuisance giving ur country a bad name. Shikenan!


THANK YOU.
I WONDER WHY A NIGERIAN WILL ILLEGALLY ENTER SOUTH AFRICA TO BE LOADING BAGS OF RICE INTO TRUCKS AS A JOB.
ALREADY, HE IS TAKING THE UNSKILLED JOB AWAY FROM THE NATIVES.
NIGERIANS SHOULD BE SKILLED, AND SEEK FOR SKILLED JOBS BEFORE TRAVELLING OUT.
ALL THIS HUSTLING TO SELL THEIR FATHERS HOUSE TO GET PAPERS TO TRAVEL ABROAD WILL NOT DO US WELL AS A NATION WHEN TOUTS ARE TRAVELLING OUT.
WE HAVE GOT ENOUGH BAD NAMES ALREADY, THIS DESPERATION MUST STOP.

The truth is, it this act is completely unacceptable.

We know it doesnt represent a majority of south africans, but it should be condemned completely!

NO EXCUSES!!

Sir, the laws am referring to here is SA's immigration law, I refered to this laws because a poster said what about hustlers? My response means sa laws does not permit immigrants that are hustlers
Thank you
look every country has laws. Yet, immigrants break them. America has strict immigration laws yet hustlers break them. So they should now kill them? Malawi as a country is planning to evacuate it's citizens because of xenophobia and you are here denying the obvious. Every south African can't be xenophobic but when a whole zulu king support it with hatred speech and the son of the president support it then we can say xenophobia is as much a policy now as apartheid was in the 90s.

This marriage issue, a lot of Nigerians too have abused it, Nigerians with wives at home have come to SA to marry for the sake of papers, some just marry for papers and a lot of South Africans are aware.






I know someone whose husband has been in SA for over 8 years after she delivered. I had to create a thread on it. The menace and worries is just too much on her. Hope he is not married to another woman there? sad

I am glad you said this is your point of view. However, i was about to make some statements about it until i started reading the later end of your story which also confirmed the class at which you are telling the story from. You can say all these thing but the truth be told that these attacked were specigically targeted at black forigners and Nigeria as we all know would make its larger percentage.

In as much as this is your truth, i do not doubt it. Lets go a little lower to people who do not have the oppirtunity of having white collar jobs and going to school. The hustlers and the street roamers, the below average foreigners. They are the ones directly affected by this. Until we hear their own part of the story, then and only then can we conclude that SAcans are not xenophobic as the world think they are.
that's fair.

Thank God you said CHASED GHANIANS OUT.. and not Killed Ghanaians..remember this was during Nigerians economic down time which i will call recession. At least they still have their live intact to make their country a better place now.... Nigerians do not Kill foreigners even when they are usually found among the terrorist destroying our country...we would rather use the Immigration to deport them back to their country... so don't ever compare Nigerians to South Africans that knows nothing but cravings for the blood of their African brothers who are their mercy..I remember when Liberia was at war... there was a refugee camp that was set out for them in one of Nigerian suburb.. these people needed to survive beyond the refugee camp lives style, BY working and fending for their self and their families.. they mixed with the locals and started doing menial job that poor Nigerians do such as COMMERCIAL BIKE riding, hair making, sales personnel etc... they were doing it along side with the local as competitors. these are low income job.. no body took arm to kill them..some were how ever given scholarship to attend schools..etc. they all lived here safely till their country got better and they started going back one after the other..some still remained behind because their business .. ALL you south Africans.. you better reconcile with your WHITE CITIZEN..because that is another keg of Gun powder you guys are sitting on..that will blow up some day, ur the frequent killing of WHITE in your country, One day they will strike and when they strike it will be very hard..I pray your country remain in peace if not..you all should just sign your death warrant and stay within your country because we True Africans are waiting for you with our bow and arrow to shoot you down as you knock at our doors.MONSTERS
you really know everything..

Sir check my profile I have been a member of NL since 2006

Let me tell you something,i have lived in SA for 7 years,schooled and worked there.South Africans males are lazy and do not like education.In university you will find at most 5 males out of 35 students in a classroom.They love freebies,menial jobs,crime and live off their women(mothers or girlfriends).

A white SA will prefer hiring a black foreigner than a black SA.This killing did not start today,it has been there especially in Uni.
They have themselves to blame and leave foreigners out of it.

after reading your opinion and your tireless rants of support for your 'benefactors',i think its high time I told u to SHUT UP and pray your benefactors don't extinguish you when your case finally comes up for 'judgement'

and to think u actually compared chasing immigrants out to a massacre of immigrants by your lords....i think u need to start thinking as a human and not someone's lap dog cos of peanuts handed down to u

The hatred Africans have for Africans is simply alarming. Today it is Sacans killing other Africans. Tomorrow, it is Fulani killing Yorubas. Dummies claiming "land" instead of uniting and pointing out our common enemies such as poverty, diseases, poor infrastructure etc and tackling them.

Plain pathetic

It appears u want to whitewash the actions of prejudiced S'Africans. Fact still remains dat a gud number of black s'africans are lazy and lack initiative. They believe that the only way to secure jobs and opportunities is by intimidating black foreigners out of the country.

And I dont think u speak for those who have less opportunties as u do.
same thing with yoruba people who threaten hard working igbos running their businesses in the best way they can..

There is no reason good enough to take laws into your hands and kill other human beings.

However, my take on this is pretty different. The same way expatriates are kidnapped in the Niger Delta region in Nigeria. People fail to realise that the good of every nation should first benefit it's citizens before foreigners.

Many Asians are coming into Nigeria to take jobs that many Nigerians are qualified to handle. They also go further to demean and insult the locals that work there. Just work in companies like Huawei and you will be startled.

Very soon if the government chooses not to listen to the plea of the masses in Nigeria- the subtle resentment brewing in many Nigerians will be expressed in very inhumane forms.

It can be easy to judge SANs but right in our Nigeria there is a subtle resentment to some other races.

Then these street roamers(as you called them) should come back home instead of putting themselves in vulnerable position. No country in the world wants scoundrels on their streets anyway.

What is their purpose of being in South africa in the first place? To make money I presumed.

However, if things didn't go as planned, let them come back home, otherwise they would constitute public nuisance.

Has any one in UK/US see our brothers washing/valeting cars at these superstores like ASDA/TESCO/SAINSBURY,TARGET, WAL MART ? Chaiii!!! You ll cry ooooo. I cried for real when I saw them in the horrible weather like freezer, washing cars. They didn't know the reason why I was chatting them up. The funny thing is that these guys would refuse to do this back home and I strongly believed that these guys could do better than that in Nigeria
