The Nigerian union in South Africa (NUSA) on Sunday confirmed the untimely death of Benjamin Okoronkwo, a 43-year-old Taxify driver, in Johannesburg.
Okoronkwo hails from Okposi, Ohaozara local government area in Ebonyi state.
According to a statement issued by Ikele Odefa, the union’s assistant national publicity secretary, the deceased was shot dead by unknown assailants at about 3am on August 3, in his car.
Eyes Of Lagos reports that NUSA has visited the scene of the ugly incident and subsequently opened a case of murder at Mofartview police station in Johannesburg south cluster.
Odefa said the deceased is survived by two children and a wife.
He said the union was calling yet again on law enforcement to investigate his murder and whoever was involved should be prosecuted.
The death toll of Nigerians killed in South Africa has continued to rise, with more than 120 lives lost since 2016.

9ja no good,and you left to country to seeks for greener pasture.at the end death, vanity upon vanity.

People keep blaming the victims so all this people being killed everyday in south Africa don't behave well we should continue cos they're not our relations shm

People always forget that what goes around comes around. While I was growing up in Kaduna there was a major religious conflict one year and people were being slaughtered as usual. A lady whose brother was off to work told a neighbor that she was not troubled because she learnt it's Christians that were been killed. Well, the brother was brought back home with a severed hand and he was a Muslim. People are been killed in mass shootings across America, it doesn't bother some people because it has not affected their family members.

Yeah, blame it on the Zulus, as if he wasn't also killed by someone he knows. Only unsavoury characters conduct business at that hour & those are the risks he cosigned to when he accepted the job/shift. Boohoo. Must you people turn everything into some paranoid conspiracy theory against you?

It's no more news when a Nigerian gets killed in south Africa ,it's always expected due to South Africans barbaric feelings towards Nigerians and no solution in sight from both Our government and SA authority , no one ever gets arrested for these killings.
It's really tough being Nigerians both home an abroad.

RIP BRO...
Do you know what apartheid has done to these people?
They don't know how to dream big anymore. They're just psychological slaves in their own country. White man so forced them to stay one place that even their mind is also staying one place now. They can't think again. Just sex and drink.
When they see you with idea, making money and marrying their girls, they are infuriated.

So what do you want Nigerian people to do about American people been shot in America?


Do Nigerians not have enough of their own problems? or are they not been killed also in Nigeria?,


You sound very sentimental. Americans kiling Americans, what has that got to do with Nigerians?,

I only used that as an example to buttress my point that people don't care about what happens to others as long as their family members are not involved. Unfortunately you just proved me right since you believed that only Americans live in America and are the only ones killing one another. Do you have family members in America? If you do, you don't care because it is Americans killing Americans what has it got to do with Nigeria?

My broda, say no to inferiority complex! No Nigerian deserves to be killed in any country in Africa just for existing there. Not after the role we played in their pre/post independence struggles. I don’t know how old u are, but I remember school kids, civil servants and even traders donating a little amount of money to countries like Namibia to kick-start their independence! Musicians like the great Fela, Sunny Okosun, Majek Fashek, The Mandators, Orits Wiliki, all singing and pressing for the end to the apartheid regime in South Africa.

And now people like u think it’s okay for ur own people to be reviled in Africa!? Sabi ursef no bi curse, my broda!!

grin grin grin In the last few years thousands of innocent children have been killed in Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan and pakistan and Iraq, either by drones used by Americans or bombs manufactured by Americans, I bet you have no idea of all these killings, Thousands of children, women and men were killed in libya by made in America bombs and guns.

And just few people were shot in America and you are on here Criticising Nigerians or people for not caring, and lecturing them on moralities.

Americans kill Americans with American made guns, Yesss!! i don't care!! give me one reason why i should care?

wether i live in America or not, have families in America or not, as you have said, if the people killed were not my families, i will not care! it is human nature. just like you didn't care about other people killed in other countries all over the world.

I used two examples and my point is simple. You mentioned earlier that I sounded sentimental yes i am emotional about any kind of killing of unarmed, innocent civilians anywhere in the world. My point is what goes around comes around. Your point is why should I care if there is killing in America if I am not affected. You should care because the killers are not targeting their own people and. There are people from all over the world in America. All Americans do not support politically motivated killings in other countries. I just have values for live irrespective of race, ethnicity, religious or political beliefs. Again what goes around comes around is my point we shouldn't say why should I care it's Muslim killing muslims or it's westerners killing westerners no one is an island these days.

Meanwhile, it's amazing how difficult it is for you to comprehend that I only used the American example in the context that some Americans don't care about the shooting as long as their family are not involved. I am not in anyway lecturing Nigerians. Just saying humans can't feel other humans pain as long as they are not in their shoe. The genesis of all these is because a Naira lander posted this:

Well its all speculations sha.. But our people don't behave well in abroad.. That's the bitter truth

Suggesting that all Nigerians behave badly abroad therefore deserve to be killed. Is he right? Do you behave badly abroad?
Re: Nigerian Taxify Driver Shot Dead In South Africa by Odinaka00(m): 10:32am On Aug 05, 2019
This could be a robbery. It happens to Locals too.. Many Taxify drivers have lost their lives through car hijacking. That's why Zulu drivers now carry guns because of what they go through in the hands of these at me robbers. This may not have anything to do with Xenophobia. These people should just stop making it look like South Africans just kill Nigerians.. If that's the case a lot of Nigerians will be dying everyday in S.A. this country is very unsafe.. Anyone can be assassinated and trust me some of these assassins are mostly Zimbabweans... May His soul rest in peace
