THE world watched in horror at the violence in South Africa, targeted at foreigners in several cities. Gangs of weapons-wielding youth descended on hapless foreigners, killing, maiming and destroying their property. Shops and restaurants were looted, and in most cases, these went on with law enforcement agents seeming to derive some pleasure from watching.

Many trace the violence to a statement credited to the Zulu King, Goodwill Zwelithini, who called on foreigners, who he blamed for the high crime rates and unemployment among South Africans, to leave.

Nigerians were a sizeable proportion of the attacked foreigners. No death was reported, but they suffered great losses – their businesses were targets. Many were injured. These attacks have been regular since 2008, the only difference each time is the increasing intensity.

They are unofficial, but the official South African attitude to Nigerians is not much different. The repatriation of 124 Nigerians in March 2012 over alleged forged immunisation cards is one. There were sufficient grounds to believe that the Nigerians suffered that fate because they travelled on a Nigerian carrier. Only months ago, South Africa botched an arms deal with Nigeria and made headlines out of it.

Nigerians are angry about the vehemence and barbarity with which South Africans attack fellow Africans even when it is obvious that there is live television coverage of the attacks. If anything, the

unwillingness of the police to act, assures the attackers that they would be immune from punishment. We recall Nigerian contributions, officially, and individually to the liberation of South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Angola. The contributions were diplomatic, financial and extended to scholarships and training for their students.

Since the collapse of apartheid, South Africa businesses have flourished in Nigeria, exploiting Nigerians, paying minimal wages, and repatriating hefty profits annually. Nigerians know these,

including humiliation they face when they apply for South African visas while nationals of countries that supported apartheid require no visa to enter South Africa.

Why are South Africans so hostile to Nigerians? We think it is in the interest of both countries to find out. The excuses about unemployment and crimes are speculations, especially when the menial jobs other Africans do would not appeal to South Africans and crime statistics do not support the crime claim.

No reason justifies the attacks. We commend the patience of Nigerians who protested, instead of attacking South African interests in Nigeria.

The Nigerian protesters warned both governments that time is running out for them to address the causes of the attacks. Our government should ensure South Africa pays adequate compensations for the losses. We would no longer sacrifice Nigerians for diplomacy. Let these attacks be the last.

Why is south African so heartless, don't they have their brother too in foreign land, AU r u there, why silent. #wipingformybrothersdyingincoldblood#

why trying to create war instead of peace?

ok

Our boys down there are too relaxed. If only I were to be in SA, GOD knows I'd have done some serious payback.


I've discovered that some slow and shallow thinkers are not thinking smart at all and as such looking at my post as an impossibility. When I talked about a payback, I didn't mean going out to confront a mob. I meant laying ambush for the unlucky South African to walk in and be KILLED. Don't they know anyone whom they will attack? NOBODY HAS A MONOPOLY OF VIOLENCE. Just weak minds too dumb to strategize and too afraid to act. Well I have a full idea of what I mean so feel free to judge with your weak mind. And like I said, I wish I were in SA.

Oooh am getting scared already. I wonder why Boko haram still exist when we have people like you. My address is SAMBISA FOREST.

God, I pray you send southafrica back to their darkest moment in history. Pls, send ebola there if possible.
Make presence of suicide bomber pronounced in that land. My good God, since southafricans have forgotten what they went through in the hands of the white and the kind of big brother Nigeria was to them and have now decided to kill Nigerians just for their nationality, I pray you give southafrica the likes of ISIL, ALSHABAB, BOKO HARAM, TALIBAN, AL-QAEDA, FARC REBEL, the lord resistance army(kony) etc, in a way that's peculiar to their environment.
Useless-ugly bastards!

Mr Terminator we charged through Sambisa in February and March and nobody lives there again. Enjoy ur sleep

SA God is watching you people oh.
I am yet to understand what these attacks are for, if u don't want us, tell us officially to leave not killing our brothers and sisters over there.
Wait oh! Did I read no death was recorded? What of the ones we read and saw online?

If we have taken action with the same energy, n zeal with which we sit behind our phones n laptops to threaten here, m sure d effect would have been felt in S.A.

we all sit down feeling m not the one to do it, n the supposed government is dumb n deaf on the issue.

let's not be surprised when Ghana ,cotonu or germany will start their own tomorrow knowing we can do nothing.

SMH

Despite all our verbal warnings to the animals in South Africa?

Why are this people playing with our resolve not to apply “an eye for an eye” ?

Why are you South Africans tempting our endurance?

We Nigerians are peace loving people, but we also have the ability to apply “an eye for an eye”

You better stop now or regret later!

Ugly animals with clueless government.
