Nigerians should come back home. I would rather be poor and at peace then suffer and live in a country that hates your guts and where violence is akin to drinking water. |

V0lv0: Yes, there is. Young children of foreigners learn for free in South African government schools. Universities are a different story though, we pay too, so what's the big deal? And as for bursaries, why should South Africa overlook her own citizens & grant bursaries to foreign nationals? It makes no sense. South Africans, especially the blacks, have been neglected in the past, were refused proper education etc so it's only fair that this new generation, reap the rewards of what many of our mothers & fathers died for. Why must someone else be favoured when we also have our very own citizens who are desperate for the same kind of help? |

PunkyOh: Any sensible government will not leave a child uneducated, foreign or native. That's just plain stupid. Breeding ground for criminality. University level is different. That's on you if you want to go further. PunkyOh: Nobody has lobbied your government to give money for Tertiary education or any grants to foreign nationals. Private Scholarships is a different case. Its not government money. Please tell your government to focus on you. Nobody wants free handouts from your government. This is the nonsense excuse you people keep giving, day in day out. Sickening! 3 Likes |

PunkyOh:Madam, I was merely responding to an incorrect assumption that foreigners study for free in SA which is false as not even all South Africans study for free. The rest of the stuff you have mentioned I never said or implied. 1 Like |

[quote author=helpee post=32773434] and you are happy with the rubbish you posted here. So Americans don't have laws....why have they not been killing millions of illegal immigrants there? every prosperous country have one major challenge....how to reduce illegal immigrants. it's impossible to be prosperous and not have them. So because they are illegal the next thing is to start killing them. Thank God you said this is just your opinion. But your opinion my brother is a wicked one[/quote help me ask the brainwashed man oo... What are Nigerians looking for dia sef? Should have left dem to the mercy of the Boers! 1 Like |

morpheus24:Exactly. It would be a bit ridiculous for foreigners to expect that from SA government cos at the end of the day the need to look out for their citizen's first. All we saying is stop the hate and killings. If they want them gone because they feel they are strong competition or stealing their jobs there are so many ways to go about this. Those who open shops why are the locals buying from there? Why don't they come together and support only local shops for example instead of looting and burning their places down. |

V0lv0: Cause they haven't figured out how to practice GROUP ECONOMICS yet, they are trying hard to spend and live like White people in South Africa. A lifestyle they have coveted since the days of Apartheid. You rand should circulate your community at least 8 to 10 times before it leaves into another mans hands but how do you want an illiterate from the township to understand that simple concept. They are waiting for Bursaries from government 5 Likes |

MzansiBeat:Yeah, advanced economy, all thanks to the whites. You guys contributed little or nothing to your "advanced economy". So, sell your story to those who do not know about your country. There are lots of legal/illegal immigrants coming into the US every year. Have you seen them maimed or killed because they're foreigners? South Africans got something they never really worked for, that's why they find difficult to adapt and live with others. It's just like dashing out a hundred million dollars to someone who has barely enough to eat. It's gonna drive him mad. 2 Likes |
Re: Xenophobia: View Of A Nigerian Living In SA by PunkyOh(f): 8:39pm On Apr 16, 2015 |
V0lv0: All study for free unless you decide to take them to a better school or a private school. Oh & I do get that you were talking about universities, but I just don't get the point of the discussion since most countries don't provide free studies at university level-South Africa is no different. |

proudlyhandsome:thanks for the update, but sincerely speaking I'd go for it if I had the means, $100 daily would help put a brother on track again, for the weather I know it's not gonna be easy and I appreciate that fact, but still man gatz to hustle. . Do you have any links or reliable means that can help me get there? Any atom assistance would be highly appreciated, Thanks for your prayers. |

driand: I ll only be part of your success not your failure. Take your education as your priority for now and come back to me when you are done. It ll be a legal immigration routine that would place you in the right place when you come. I won't open my eyes and see my fellow Nigerian in that heart-trending situation. I have seen many Nigerians who are in US/UK for over 12yrs without papers and their lives have been ruined completely. They left Nigeria at age of 35 to 40, spent 10 to 12yrs looking for unavailable papers and we r still counting My brother, finish your education and come here through skilled workers scheme. Or student route with prayers......... Pls and pls, don't allow anybody to entice you with anything to come to US/UK as illegal immigrant oooo. Nigeria ll be like heaven to you as illegal immigrant. I went to a place to work on a contract basis. My first week there turned out to be the most horrible moment of my life, why? you need to see how my brothers and sisters were caged by their colleagues who have got their papers/white colleagues; they used them like slaves. It got to a point dat I couldn't take it anymore and I started picking up their fights. I became a public enemy among my white colleagues. The company is filled up with Racists and dealt with them before my contract was unceremoniously terminated. let me be practical here, asking you to come here as il legal immigrant is like asking my brother to go to Borno state. 2 Likes |

PunkyOh: No, the South African government he been carving the university budget to give sponsorship to African students from honours, masters & phd. To think that UCT students had to do a fundraising to pay for black students who faced expulsion from the university if the could not pay. While some Nigeria are getting scholarships for post grads. Everything plus pocket money. And this one comes to deny what the beneficiaries of that education are here saying out. |

mikron: TBH, I didn't know about this until I saw these threads here talking about it. I'm not much of a news watcher nor do I pay much attention to anything when I'm out minding my own business. I'm against the Xenophobic attacks but I can't speak on behalf of anyone or make lame half-assed apologies for something I was not personally involved in. So yeah, I don't know what to say to this. It's just not right though. |
