We need more Nigerians that are truthful like you. We deserve the leaders we get based on the average mindset of the typical Nigerian that is not born again or takes the Koran seriously.

A major part of South Africa's economy relies on its tourism. Imagine Nigeria, India and China make up 30% of the world's population but have no visa free relationship with South Africa. That just shows you that it's not about population size rather its about dollars and cents.

Americans can travel to South Africa without visa but South Africans need visa to enter America. They are not complaining because Americans are known to travel the globe and spend money that boost local economies. The GDP of California alone is bigger than that of the entire continent of Africa combined. So you see, money rules.

South Africa shouldn't grant us visa free status into their country, let us remain in Nigeriaj and develop it to be the envy of the world.

Welcome initiative. The only problem is Nigerians WILL abuse the gesture. (Red-eyed)Nigerians go spoil market further there. Truth be told, a lot of Nigerians need proper and solid orientation before traveling abroad. They need to be told engaging in crimes not only damages our nation's image but it shuts the doors against genuine and hardworking Nigerians. They also need to be told of the importance of respecting the laws of any country they go to. If we respect ourselves, people will respect us.

holafloyd:

I agree with you but then a lot of factors are militating against development of this country ranging from bad leadership, dangerous "political practice", financial recklessness and so on. If we are to be sincere you will agree with me that of all the countries in Africa, Nigeria is abundantly blessed, be it in agriculture and mineral resources. But the question that always comes to mind is how have we been able to positively explore and convert them to develop our country to an enviable status. Believe me we may not be able to attain that status if we still have people who don't think or believe corruption has cost this country alot of things which in fact brings about why Nigerians wants away by all means. Look at it from this angle... Transportation, Electricity, Petroleum and other factors that contributes to development of business and economy are not well managed and if that is the case, you can't expect miracle to happen. We have to look inward but then when it turns to the survival of the fittest in your own country why won't anyone prefer a greener pastures. Sho'gun laye ni?

Lol don't mind these people who lack exposure..

As at five years ago, there were almost one million Nigerians in SA legally.

Last year, the number went extremely high sef. We aren't talking about illegally ones.

The country has vision and they are working. Nigerians wey Dey apply for SA VISA too much as we speak.

SA na small Europe for sub saharan Africans..

Buhari is punishment for the wicked nature of the average Nigerian.

Wigetsolar:
Who travels to SA except for holidays?

RockHard:
Not impressed. This only means more Nigerians will get to die in SA than is already the case.

HarryDuce:
Don't be a criminal and stay away from criminally minded folks. It's as simple as that. Allowing emotions to cloud reason is futile. Majority of Nigerians who go down there live peacefully and live better lives.

Vega100:
u are the only sensible person on this thread...

However, SA should be careful including Nigeria into that list, cause Nigerians are so criminally minded, they will just flood their country and do worse than they are doing now, all the crimes and criminality u can mention being perpetrated by Nigerians would quadruple, consequent of our inordinate quest for riches at the detriment and expense of every other thing.
That's Nigerians for u, that's how we perceive life over here, and the reason for our perpetual failures and retrogression as a state, which has no end in sight..
That's Nigerians for you. Avoid them if you want to advance, mentality over here is very depraved and perverted.

SoNature:


Huncle, the emboldened is FALSE!
Stop throwing figures around.
Nigerians are scattered all over the world.
If there are almost one million Nigerians in South Africa, how many go come remain for Naija?

Fhowe:
i like your opinion but why not look at it from these point of view .These is to control unnecessary overstay of illegal immigrants in their country once entry and exit is made easy it becomes unattractive to alot of immigrants looking for greener pastures .Then the once that still go will not make it a do or die affair to live in the country once they make little money they will go back to their country cause they know the can always come back.And south african government will make more money from these .And this will reduce the xenophobic attacks

Paulo3ree:

Its still their benefit, they will enjoy millions of human and capital immigrants within some years. The SA will greatly benefit.
Can't you see the way Canada just sieve in professionals from various nations, made also their education easy for foreigners to gain admission, their GDP would improve

judgementyard:
So u can kill more of US? Thank you,i'll pass

grandstar:


Majority of those killed are actually criminals. Criminals killing criminals.

Most importantly, there is nothing is South Africa and that's why there's a problem in the first place.

The country has a low per capita income. It is not more than $8,000 per person.

Worse, it suffers from a very high unemployment. And worse, it also suffers from a very high crime rate, much worse than Nigeria. And to add to it, it suffers from slow economic growth.

It has the worst income distribution in the world.

The above are the roots of many of the problems plaguing the country
