This is not surprising, I intentionally don't comment much on this incident due to the general level of reasoning I see on this forum

Nigerians are the minority in terms of foreign immigrant population in SA for crimes.

A poster asked above why we are in the headlines and it surprises me! is it that the person doesn't understand the concept of envy?

The regular young man in Mzanzi is lazy, gives into the cull of hard drugs, derives pleasure in.rapimg under aged High school girls and when his wife returns home from work tired and exhausted then confronts him with the information the neighbors gave her that he brought a teenager into.their home.while she was at work he proceeds to beat her up.

Now then moves in the Nigerian trader who came.armed.with determination to hustle hard and repay the money used to send him there, he has no time for trivialities but Hawks his gala and coke on the streets there..

Mind you mzanzi youth see such jobs as far below them, they believe they have earned the right to a good life for their parents suffering apartheid... They have a serious entitlement complex

But they watch the Nigerian hustle everyday leaving his house at 6am to catch the early morning train out to sell gala and coke in CBD joburg to workers

After six months same nigerian trader rents a shop and starts selling medicines in a chemist and he is getting more money the typical mzanzi young man is infuriated and upset as his wife he beats up.regularly is comparing him to the Nigerian ..and this annoys him

To cut a long story short the Nigerians hustle spirit holds a mirror up.to the SA youth faces and they don't like what they see hence they resort to the age old primial instinct which says what they don't understand they fear and how do weaklings respond to fear ? They mob attack and inflict bodily harm

Nigerians aren't a major concern for crime in SA as they are just loud and more determined hustlers

The typical Mzanzi youth is local , uninspired and a masochist

Cheers


You deserve an award for this piece. I screenshot and verified from my South African friend and she said you're on point 100% correct

Nigerians prefer to fly to either Europe or America, just few relocate to neighboring African countries out of no option or for business or family reasons, so I am not surprised.

Even if the number quadruples, it can't be compared to that of Zimbabwe or the United Kingdom

Zimbabwe and other southern african countries are the most persecuted in SouthAfrica.
Nigerians are popular there because of flamboyant lifestyle of some of them and many do drugs too. Some even do drugs and still own legit businesses to cover up.

Just like Nigerians, there are lot of Zimbabweans in jails too. The Zimbabweans even do drugs more than Nigerians.

The whites in SouthAfrica came during colonial rule and due to tourism, they forsee these voilence so they mostly live together in planned highbrow areas, segregating themselves from blacks. They hardly live in slumps and legitimately move around with guns.

Zimbabweans are good in ATM fraud

My friend lost 1.8 million naira to zimbabwe ATM fraud, by the time he called skye bank to block his account, 9,000 naira was the remaining amount there

Official and not including those with illegal papers.

And make we stop deceiving our selves. Nigerians who messed up Nigeria are capable of messing up any other society.

That thing that makes Nigerians to run from their country is what they can do in other countries.

I am not having any sympathy for Nigerians. Almost every country has issues with Nigerians. Just that SA handler theirs in a brutal way, every country is making it harder for Nigerians to come into their country. Canada, USA, UK, etc. It is same story everywhere. This shows there is something wrong with us in this country. But we don't tell our selves the truth.
The difference between us is that I love Nigerians bro

The issue in SA goes both ways. Yes some Nigerians there are hardworking and are successful but at the same time we Nigerians need to learn to respect ourselves when in foreign lands. I'm Igbo but I must say that some of us have this tendency to become arrogant when successful to the extent of rubbing off your wealth to the faces of the natives, disrespecting them etc. Nigerians are not the only foreigners in SA but they are always targeted, not only in SA but in many countries that they go to. Other foreigners like the Indians, Chinese etc become successful yet they know how to respect themselves and not show off their wealth in an arrogant way that it evokes this kind of response from the natives. If the natives are reacting like this, they are reacting to years of enduring such annoying and showy attitude that we have, it's human nature. I don't support their actions either.

When will most Nigerians learn to make money and still remain humble or not arrogant? I bet if Nigerians can adopt this attitude, xenophobia directed at them will reduce drastically.
