I fail to understand when you compare small business with Big business, Small business employ one or very few people, South African Businesses employ many workers, That one is a fact, Nothing to loose on South African Side, But attacking Honest business People is totally wrong, Wish you luck Guys

We have always been blackmailed from deciding our fates as a people.

All these talk of job losses if south Africa companies and franchise close shop is one way of looking at this serious events. These govt officials care less about the job losses, their main concern is the tax and personal investments they have in these firms. Don't be deceived

We are ready to bear the loss of South African businesses, rather than continue to bear the loss of Nigerians

Bimpeusman:
On Tuesday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, described as deeply disturbing the reports that some Nigerians, angered by the xenophobic attacks in South Africa, have started attacking South African companies in Nigeria.

He said that targeting South African companies in Nigeria for attack is, for Nigerians, a classic case of cutting off your nose to spite your face, because the investors in such companies, especially MTN and Shoprite, are Nigerians.

Alhaji Mohammed said the majority of the workers in the South African companies operating in Nigeria are also Nigerians, meaning that its Nigerian workers who will be hardest hit if such companies are forced to shut down for fear of attacks. He assured Nigerians that the Federal Government is already taking decisive measures to put an end to the persistent xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in South Africa.

BITTER TRUTH....
But those who want violence will never agree.
Cos that is what they have been praying for all along.


What do kids know?
Until your friends come to your door to cry that the little job they are doing to make ends meet is no more, by then you will reboot!




God bless you guys for this.
It is always good and refreshing to know that we still have reasonable youths like you on this forum.

Stop being unreasonable! Stop blackmailing us. It is your principals due to find alternative means of survival for all Nigerians at this time. Does it not bother you that your govt does not have anything to hold ZA to ransom in this diplomatic battle except emotions,even as supposed giants of Africa?

oz4real83:
It is not everytime you reveal your pains or losses to your enemies. It is wise to play "strong" to your enemies sometimes even in the face of pain, just to deceive him. Lai Mohammed has always been known to display high level of indiscretion when it matters most. I can't easily forget when he said Senegalese jollof was better than Nigerian jollof in the face of international lime-light. These people are clowns!!!

I can imagine if it was Trump!

See this useless blind old fool.agba lagba.

What makes you think that several small business operated by Nigerians over their does not amount to something. Why do you think multichoice and the coming out to condemn this attack? The profit they make in this country from the big businesses is enough to have them thread softly. But of course, we are too politically correct to see this

All the jobs wey we loose since APC enter power no kill us e come be this one. Lai Mohammed take time o

Thank you, Sir. Most of our youth think in an awkward manner. We are more emotional than being rational

Lol! I wasn't expecting anything less. Very useless country. Thank God say Moti Japan.

shut up!

I stopped praying and believing in that shithole called Nigeria a long time ago. With people like this man at the helms of affairs and with while lot of stewpid and senseless youths that abound this forum. If you have sense just japa. I pray Nigeria burns to the ground someday.

Our leaders are our problem. I do not support Nigerians retaliating by setting shoprite and co ablaze. Our leaders should make our country better so that there won't be need to search for greener pasture in SA

if injection must be taken on the bumbum Na matter how uncomfortable so long it heals the sickness

no one is calling for violence,we only ask the government initiates political power play and let SA know its not Xmas,...no u guys are considering how much you will lose from egunje that pops up from their illegal business and operations here..we will only here the govts noise when MTN is owing or shipping money back to SA from naija.

whata fuk,u sent delegate,like seriously,.other countries are already showing their strong feet and expecting naija to take the giant blow and u retards are sending delegate

fuk laimohamed,fuk who ever gave him the opportunity to talk rubbish

Stand for ur people Mofo

Chaiii who eventually passed the mic to this smelly mouthed man nah? No word of wisdom has ever come from his brains.

U are mad lie Muhammad

falufosi:
you have spoken well

true talk

A foolish minister just spoke ....all hail the super lying minister

Jobs will suffer but not lives,there are things that we need to look beyond money,if we don’t speak up now then xenophobia will be a frequent trend ,and they will know we won’t do ish about the situation,let’s rid of our present govt because clearly they don’t give a damn about us and then we boycott anything made in SA or ban them entirely.only a selfish and inconsiderate man will place money over the well-being of human life. There is a positive lesson to be learnt from all this,the outside world don’t give a damn about us,as soon as we realize that Nigeria is all we own and we invest and make it home the better we will be and live long.

What a country. Even democratic republic of Congo took immediate action against the attacks on foreigners, here you are saying rubbish.. I am just soo pained being called a Nigerian.

sharrap their....nigerians made me proud today....

especially igbos....they rallied as they did before the biafra war even in south africa sef....

Beware guys, the lying lair is back.

To be hurt is far better than being killed.

my brother i tire for this jokers, the best option now is for us to show mtn say we get roban store and show mtn say we get glo.. Let's burn them down cuz years of killing without action will only encourage more killing of our people ...

The way some people type without thinking through it is alarming. How will burning shopprite,MTN or Stanbic affect the xenophobic tout on the street of Soweto?Have u done a little Google search to know the ownership structure of these companies? They are owned by Nigerians just using the brand names cos they are multinationals. Attacking these assets will further cripple our devastated economy and dissuade foreign investors.
The Nigerian investments being attacked in South Africa are majorly SMEs that are one man businesses. I say a big NO to attacks in both South Africa and Nigeria.

Exactly my thought but now that mr lai that only knows how to lie is saying the same thing, I need a rethink and check if it is truly lai Mohammed saying that. Well, there is no way such won’t happen anyway even when they knew is Nigerians that work there, as long as it’s a SA company some people will still attack them bcs d most important thing in this life is live cus when u are gone u are gone. The dead can’t loose their jobs is only the living which means when there is live there is hope. So the South Africans should stop the killings and Nigerian govn should close down shopwrite for now if people keep attacking the shop rather than attacking them and hurt our people again in our own country

I have never felt so insulted like today reading this man's yeyecious talks.

Lai Mohammed! May what is happening to Nigerians in South Africa happen to your family .


If him family member dey here make them say amen.

Burn them down and throw the employees to the job market. If you or your immediate family were working in these companies I wonder if you will make this statement. In times like this its an intelligent response that is needed, don't let emotions get the better of you.

This demented soul, i really loath this man
