Am a nigerian but i agree with the letter. We Nigerians are the worst xenophobic have ever met in my life.

Hausa dislike Igbo

Igbo dislike Yoruba

Yoruba dislike both

other tribes with their own discremination

The boko haram killing people in the north have we being able to stop them

When the ijaws were fighting the yorubas in Ajegunle some years back what happen

when they were killings in kaduna what happen

plsssssss my DSTV is very important to me and i will not stop using my MTN line

OR stop going to shoprite to buy my goods

Nobody should do any rubbish

80% of their Board of Directors are Nigerian including managers and all

The Nigerians that want to die should remain there.

PEACEEEEEE

God bless Nigeria

so u think the various tribes in south Africa dont fight themselves too? you are a confirmed eedioot. No offense.

Utter rubbish. You put up a bunch of words together as intelligently as you possibly could and yet, it still reads as utter rubbish.

So because we are fighting Boko Haram, we should shut up about our African brothers being killed, injured, maimed and displaced?

And to your other point about MTN and Shoprite, if you haven't heard, Nigeria brings in about 40% of profits for both entities and while I would never advocate any form of violence but the power of economic boycott would have an impact on both entities. And for the record, the same crimes you accuse other Africans of, MTN and Shoprite are guilty of. They have poor staffing practices, cheat Nigerians of our hard earned money and don't build capacity of our people.

Finally, lol at Shoprite and MTN hiring millions of Nigerians...you might as well have said billions now...donkey

I need to like this ^^ twice.

And how's is terrorism/genocide/massacre the answer? SMH

First of all,I see you are very myopic and delusional.you have never travel outside your country so your views are only based on 'local and media' interpretation.
Nigerian travel all around the world,its only in Nigeria that we accommodate foreigners without any bias or sentiments.
"For someone to come to your country and beat you in business wisdom and strategy, its a disgrace on your part".it speaks volume of how lazy and unambitious you are.The average Nigerian is a hustler and a born fighter,who has the ingenious ability to make any situation positively productive for him imbibed in his DNA.
Things are not as bad as the 'media' paint it to be in Nigeria, so you should also not believe every thing you read or see on any media.
Nigeria has so much wealth and beautiful places than your imagination can fully fathom.
About boko haram,its obvious you having realized that the Nigerian Government has done so much this past weeks to curb it.its just a small remote part of the country.Nigeria is not burning or at war as the media paint us.
Killing fellow Africans and looting their shops shows how barbaric your country men are,posting such here shows how mentally deranged you are.'A true man accepts responsibility for his actions and destiny'.
You countrymen has successfully sabotaged the respect the Great men like Mandela sacrificed his life to build.
Hold your government accountable for all that's happening,not foreigners.
For your information, if MTN and shoprite leaves Nigeria it won't affect us one bit as much as you envisage.we have adequate replacements,if you doubt ask Google. we have so many businesses praying they get affected by this xenophobic development. Nigerians never lose out on any deal,not when we hold the bread and knife.
This companies would prefer remaining in Nigeria due to our high population and Nigerians are know as 'big spenders'.compared to poor south Africans.
Please enlighten and educate yourself before you reveal your myopically xenophobic barbaric mindset.
I'm happy with the actions of Nigerians, south Africans forgot that nothing unites a country as much as external aggression.even Boko haram showed unity when it came to external aggression.

patiently await your reply.......

Thank you.

I start by imploring you to read this letter with an open and unbiased mind as this will enable you grab the full gist of my message.
I am a full blooded South African, born and bread in Soweto. I have never been to Nigeria and my impression of your Country is formed by the behaviour and actions of the many Nigerians who live in SA and what we hear and read from the media about the goings on in your country.
I deliberately joined Nairaland today as I noted that alot of you are on this Forum hence its a good platform to pass my message. Suffice it to say that i will delete this account after this message. I will read your responses with keen interest.

1. There is no question that there was xenophobic attack on Foreigners in SA in the past 3weeks. What is in doubt is the scale of the attack. I have noted that Nigerians have overtly blown the crises out of proportion by spreading lies and wrong informatiom concerning the crisis. The idea that South Africans are going round SA cities killing, maiming and burning Foreigners is a lie. Only 7 people have been killed so far and of these 7, 3 are south Africans, 2 Ethiopians and 2 Mozambican. The world media is in agreement with these figures. While its 7 lives too many that doesnt give credence to the news going round in Nigeria that we are killing and burning Foreigners. If thats true then there would be more people dead.
STOP BELIEVING WHATYOU READ AND WATCH ON social media as most are lies and fabricated figments of the imaginations of mischievous Nigerians in other to stoke the flame of discord between Nigeria and SA.

2. Why are Nigerians up in arms against SA with xenophobia when the war in Nigeria is far worse than here in SA. Boko haram is killing thousands your people everyday and theres no end in sight meanwhile no Nigerian has been killed in this Xenophobic attack. That is why Nigerians throng our embassies in Lagos and Abuja seeking Visas to come to SA and escape the despicable living conditions in the slums of Nigeria.

3. This recent Xenophobic attack was predicated on the fact that Foreigners commit so much heinous crimes in SA without impunity and we are tired of all these. We have our own criminals here so we cant add more problems from foreigners.
A. NIigerians are the kingpins of drugs killing our children and society. Your brothers drug our girls into prostitution. They con our people with fraud and 419. They hack into our bank accounts stealing millions.

B. Zimbabweans are involved in robberies and car hijackings

C. Mozambicans kill our farmers and take our jobs for peanuts leaving many South Africans jobless

D. Ethiopians and Somalians open shops to do illegal activities and pollute our communities. Theres a Somalian shop in every 2 houses on every street in SA. No Country can allow that.

SA has its own issues but we would like to solve them without the added problems of Foreign crimials.

If you like burn down shoprite and close MTN its your people that will suffer because these companies employ millions of Nigerians. They will simply go jobless.

Thank you

Bro, thanks for the open letter, I'm really encouraged to see Nigeria in eyes of South African at this time.
On the issues raised, first I read from one of your comments that South Africa is the largest economy in Africa, well to correct you, Nigeria overtook S. A when the new rebased figure was released. We are now the largest country and economy in Africa including North of Africa. So we demand some respect in that Regard.

Second issue, about Nigerian criminals, does it mean South Africans don't sell drugs? Is it that there's no need for drugs in your country? About prostitution, thank God it's a known fact that there is high rate of HIV/Aids in South Africa than Nigeria and you are complaining that Nigerians are building prostitution rings? It's pathetic coming from a country with so much prevalence of immorality.

Referring to people thronging your embassy from slums of Nigeria is highly degrading and you lost me here. Even "Soweto" that you claimed to come from is a smelling ghetto that our worst ghetto in Lagos called "Ajegunle" is better than Soweto.

As you claimed that S. A have their own problems so does Nigeria have its own. You can compare 5million people nation with 10million people nation. It's just too much. The major reasons Nigerians seek greener pastures in places like your country are Electricity, roads, opportunities and self ego. After that Nigerians still love their home more than anywhere else.

In conclusion, Mtn and shoprite that you listed are fraudulent here too, cheating us by giving us poor services, pay workers peanuts and evading taxes in sophisticated ways. So there is no monopoly of fraudulent persons or companies on both sides of the divide. Lagos like jo'burg.. .
