@ op, are you saying they shouldn't defend themselves just because they are in foreign land?

OreMI22:
So this op wants to condemn Nigerians for defending themselves and families from being raped and butchered by south african miscreants?

They said Nigerians sold drugs, yet they could not point to one house or shop they looted that dealt in drugs or even find any drugs to prove their case.

South african blacks are the lowest scum of the earth. They hate Nigerians for being hardworking being able to make a living in the same country they expect Zuma to buy them everything they need without raising a finger to do any useful work.

damn Nigerians are just hypocrites, you hate South Africans for the same reasons you call igbo's chest beaters. When igbo's say they developed Lagos or that they are hated for being hardworking or successful in their trade, you hate them, castigate them and tag them chest beaters your government demolish and burn their shops and even go as far as deporting them back to their villages, but when South Africans abhor such toward Nigerians they are Xeno's, one would expect that Nigerians would condemn the South Africans for their actions on fellow Africans while calling their children, sons and daughters to order.

Well we can keep acting like we are not guilty of all this here in Nigeria even when the govt encourages it yet no one is forming vigilante groups to protect themselves in Nigeria, so why do this in a foreign land don't you guys realize this act can be seen as confrontation by the South African government, Nigerian are not innocent of xenophobic acts either have we forgotten the once famous Ghana must go, we even have Ghana must go bags to forever remind us of this, I have picture from the time too, so nairalanders are calling me out now for reminding them of the most common saying on Niaraland "Respect your host" except you all want to tell me that saying is only applicable to Igbo's in Nigeria who are seen as 3rd class citizens in their own country that they struggled to redeem from the colonialist.

Let us all stop deceiving ourselves, i condemn the act by South Africans but even more I condemn the act by my fellow Nigerians, we here in Nigerian should even be proactive enough to call the government to live up to its responsibility of protecting the life of its citizens both home and abroad. The Nigerian government should not make Nigerian citizens have to take law into their hands and be seen as threat to foreign nationals in foreign nations. I indulge your understanding I am not judging or blaming anyone neither am I throwing tantrums, I just don't want Nigerians to put themselves harms way in another mans land. This is how genocide starts, can any ethic group do this in Northern Nigeria so why do it in foreign land, ordinary I stand with Nigeria peaceful protest we could not do in the north for fear of the natives or security yet we brazenly do so in other nationals home soil very disrespectful and shameful, #govtprotectnigerians

Two brothers may be fighting like sworn enemies at home, but that does not give a stranger to attack any of them thinking the other brother will be watching a strangers beating his brother.
An attack on one is an attack on all. Once we leave the shore of Nigeria, there should be no Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba. An injury to one is an injury to all. Because when the Jacob Zuma thugs come, they will not ask for the tribe, or religion. A Nigerian is a Nigerian.
Now South Africa is in high trouble, because they lack sense of history :kingdom s raise and fall, that you are doing well today does not guarantee you a brighter future, you have to earn it. The have turned all black Africans against their country and interest.

Billyonaire:
A very uninformed OP. Are you just returning from the village without internet ? See this man o. People are defending themselves against being murdered and this man just resurrected from internet-less life to condemn them.

Nigerians and hypocrisy, if it was Igbo that was spoken in that video you will see all of them screaming "igbo's respect your host". All of you hailing these Nigerians now for this unguarded act is it now safe to say it is okay for Igbo's, Fulani's, Ijaws, and other ethnic group to protect themselves from xenophobic acts that occur on a daily basis in Lagos. Why can't yorubas take their own advice instead of disgracing Nigerians living in diaspora. Igbo's are know to live in every single country in every continent of the world yet they have never been any report of this sort of aggressions by them or on them in any country, not even in South Africa.

This video clearly show yorubas as the people perpetuating these nefarious acts in South Africa, If South Africans condemn a certain evil or crime, which is a crime punishable in all country of the world, and even some of these crime punishable by death in some countries, now tell me why yorubas should have a problem with that, yorubas should help them rid the country of such crime, please sentiments apart Nigerians should condemn this action for the sake of all Nigerians at home and in diaspora. Many of you taking shot at me have never left the shore of this country and are only used to the barbarism that some Nigerian pride itself in. We all want a Nigeria of our dream let's build it and help those who have achieved theirs sustain it. Thanks and God bless.

I am sure we are all familiar with these photos.

This video goes a long way to show those giving Nigeria a bad name in South Africa. The same thuggish and toutish lifestyle that they have introduced and sustained in Lagos and made Lagos famous for they have also started to introduce in South Africa. I think this is what the South Africa's are fighting against. Frankly speaking no ethnic group in Nigeria will tolerate this sort of confrontation or aggression from non natives even the smallest of all, so why should Nigerians support or encourage it, have we thought of the ripple effect, we should call the presidency to live up to its calling. Two wrongs can't make right, so Nigeria's decision to confront can't resolve the issue rather it will escalate it, we don't want to have genocide of Nigerians living in South Africa.

Please fellow Nigerians let's speak against such action by these set of Nigerians and ask that they leave peacefully with their host as they have always preached. Nigerians while we condemn the actions of the South Africans against Nigerians and other black Africans we should be sincere and non hypocritical to tell ourselves the truth. We all know president Zuma have condemned the xenophobic killings and destruction. Why is our acting president not proactive enough to guarantee the safety of lives and property of Nigerian living abroad, ordinarily the presidency should have called Nigerians living in South Africa to return home and sent ready flight to bring them home, presidency should also be in talks with South Africa government to end the killings and destruction, and it should have as a matter of urgency send envoy to South Africa or even visit to show solidarity and commitment to the well being of these Nigerians.

Please do not turn this thread to a tribal bashing thread let us condemn the actions of these few as their actions are making life for other Nigerians who are living and doing genuine business in South Africa miserable. Why can't they wait for the Nigerian or South African government to protect them or stage peaceful protest for the whole world to see what's happening in South Africa instead of being a nuisance to South Africans.

Please: before you comment or bash the OP make sure you watch the video, I don't want comments from outside the context of the video as this post is based strictly on observations made from the video. Also nothing in that video shows Nigerians forming a vigilante, so please do watch and listen to what they are saying before you comment.
