Did South Africa Learn Xenophobia From Ghana and Nigeria? by DadaStephen1(m): 3:37pm On Sep 09, 2019
What goes around comes around.

Nigerians were once lazy because of oil discovery and boom.

Ghanaians (who had once driven out Nigerians from Ghana in 1969) got in to do all the hard and dirty jobs while the Nigerians gallivant, get scholarships with allowances, and jobs waiting for them.

The whole world loved Nigerians, wanted them.

Something went wrong...

Instead of thinking properly to discover the root cause, Nigerians pointed fingers....

"It's these Ghanaians!"
They said. Blaming foreigners from neighbouring countries, especially Ghanaians for their woes.

"Ghana Must Go! Ghana Must Go!
They chanted, failing to deal with their real problems.

Ghanaians left, crying, with no hope for the future. They came here for greener pastures because they believe THESE ARE OUR BROTHERS.
There's no assurance of what their country will offer them when they return.

Decades after....

Nigeria had sunk deeper into the swamp of horrific corruption, ethnic division, systemic failure, insecurity, fraud, crime, confusion, contaminated value system and rusted Leadership.

Nigeria becomes a shadow of itself like a Giant reduced to an ant.

Ghanaians built their country in sweat since there's no BROTHER to run to for solace.

Now Nigerians jump there.....

South Africa should learn from Nigeria
Nigeria should learn from Ghana.

There's implication for every action.

Its an african mentality,we always look for a scapegoat to blame for our problems,instead of working out solutions to solve the problems.So South africa did not learn from Nigeria.Its inherent in the black man to hate each other. its like what president botha said about the blacks were true.

I never mentioned that Nigerians killed.

But did Nigerians ever blame foreigners for their woes?
Did Nigerians ever believe that sending people away from their country will make them better?

how stupid could dada stephen be that he failed to read history books before writing unnecessary epistle.

Was 'ghana must go' not a retaliation? Did the ghana govt not did it first? Did they not deported about 800k Nigerians from their country in the name of 'alien order'?

So Nigeria doing same many years after is now a sin that the citizens of Nigeria generation unborn must suffer?

Look at the backward people ayam carrying tags with. Oh lawd.

May be from the Igbos. Definitely not from Yoruba and the Fulanis haven't gone that far.

Unfortunately you do not even have a name.

There's a point to pick from every piece if you're intelligent.

Also please recommend me the history books that will educate me enough.

Idiot

@op will you stop misinforming people and go learn your history. One major reason Nigeria drove Ghanians was because of the austerity measures in place by the Shagari administration. Why is no one saying this?

Your response is empty and rude.

You cannot type but you can fault someone's work, that's part of the problem of Nigeria. I too know.

You should have brought the elders of your house here who could type to teach us history instead of dropping shallow comments.
