There are many issues a few Nigerians are causing abroad especially in South Africa and it was very important he highlighted these cos they are concerns with the SA govt bt he shud also mention the many good Nigerians are doing there and how lawless by the SA community isn’t helping bt rather they shud find better ways to fish out the criminal elements according to the law.

His advice is spot on though

We get what we deserve!

When last have we been addressed locally by the President?

He is only happy when he runs down the country outside the country! Our number one goes there and rather than adopt a tough stance, he rolls on his back and blames Nigerians for not behaving like Romans in Rome.
My President, the black South Africans are lazy and if Nigerians acted like them, well... surmise!! Their anger was that Nigerians unlike them are enterprising and hardworking and therefore successful!!
Please come home ehn.... mumu

Ode!

The message could have been passed in a more subtle way and the welfare of Nigerians should have been a priority. Imagine this nonsense coming from Trump after Americans were attacked in another country!

He must say nonsense with his annoying, tongue-twisting accent. Of course, he wouldn't come out to spew if Fulanis were involved.

Only if he could say this very same thing about Fulanis terrorizing people in their own state.

I wish he said something about his son who fell off a power bike they acquired with taxpayer's money. Useless totem pole.

how subtle could he had passed this message..are u neglecting the fact that most Nigerians in South Africa are into illegal business?

judecares1:
I don't blame you cos u have not felt d power of death to any of your relatives,hence u saying this rubbish

so he should hide the truth just because his relative isn't among the dead?

etebefia:
Buhari is the most unfortunate thing that will happen to any nation. Inside him, he feels so happy with what happened in South Africa since cows and Fulani are not affected.

You are a disgrace to your generation. Why is it too difficult for you to understand that what Mr president was saying was that Nigerians should be law abiding by obeying the laws of their host countries. Or he should have told them to disobey the laws of their host countries?

I guess his speech is taken out of context. What the president is trying to say is for them to obey the laws of the land of their host country. If I can drive one way here in Nigeria and I can't try it in Canada, it simply means I will behave like a Canadian in Canada. My only take on the statement is that our president choice of words at times in addressing critical issues often complicate it.

PoliticalWitch:
Before we abuse our Bubu, let's be honest...many Nigerians go to South Africa to do crimminal things....and it is these bad eggs that make the rest of us look evil...when we ain't.

Right now, there is a Nigerian pastor in serious legal trobule, and then there was the drug war that escalated to a point where people were shot dead in Nigeria...in a church.

We cannot be pretedning all of us are good people. Many Nigerians emigrate to other countries, don't adapt, and promptly engage in activites that are detrimental to the host country's well being.

It is high time we faced that truth.

Good morning.

True talk

Americans don't constitute nuisance in another man's country....or are u neglecting the fact that many Nigerians in South Africa are into illegal business?? ....I'm case ur IQ isn't high enough to decide his message,he is saying ' abide by the rulesand laws of south frica and avoid illegalities'

m140:

How many of your country men are in foreign land with complete documents? Nigerians and nonsense are twin. Wanting wat we can't work for.

Shame on you.

jkendy:
Yes, when the Romans come to slaughter you like chicken with guns, bow and arrows, just behave like them by pelting them ordinary stones and gravels in self defense.
Bubu is indirectly telling Nigerians to stand and defend themselves empty handed in the face of aggression instead of running for safety
If you know, you know......
This General isn't generous with his ideas at allllllllllllllllll

So easy to identify lawless criminal Igbos. What’s wrong with working within the law?

I think u are the one that is shameless here and the dude is right...bubu was simply telling Nigerians to abide by rules and regulations of south Africa

I know that the genetic criminals will not like what he says.

ugochukwufrenzy:
nigeria is very unfortunate to have dis man as president.,very unfortunate!!!!

if ozubulu massacre hasn't given u a clue of what is happening in South Africa,then u are the unfortunate ones

SugarMuffin:
Is this one a president So all Nigerians living in South Africa are drug dealers? This man is an old fool

where did he say all Nigerians in SA are drug dealers??....

malanado:
is this our president, no wonder we have become a laughing stock in the daily show with Trevor Noah , for-God sake you are blaming Nigerians for attack against them

where did he blame Nigerians for xenophobic attack??....the president clearly asked south African president to work on her citizens and buhari is advising nigerians in SA on being responsible immigrants in SA

He never disappoints......that slowpoke.

Starhearts:


U belong to Biafra Republic
Face ur warrant nothing concerns u with Nigeria President

Very true

I don't blame south Africa one bit for not wanting Nigerians in their country, we've nothing to offer them except selling and importing drugs, prostitution, trafficking etc. Nigerians turn a developing town into slums and avoid paying taxes.

We scam and disobey orders while we claim we are "smart and wise". We disrespected their country and their value, they can't entertain our behaviour any longer that's why they want Nigerians out.

Nigerians have the worst electricity distribution, no roads,no jobs, schools are bad, government killing us with taxes yet we are defending buhari,obasanjo,okorocha,kalu,oshiohmole,tinubu,jonathan and many other looters.

Well south Africa, Kenya,rwanda and even Ghana now is a lot better than this wasteland called a country, better leave south Africa for sane humans to hold their leaders accountable.

Since Nigerians are cursed and every single country want them out, with all the oil money and vast resources but nothing to show for it.

So it's only drugs Nigerians do there?

Ksslib:
And the dullard never disappoints..

Just as southAfrcia is geographically positioned at the anus of the African map, so is Buhari's brain anatomically positioned in his body...

spits

Chai, why are you so wickedly truthful

GoTV:
This is a deep warning to the igbos. God bless Buhari

This is how tribalism has ended your sense of reasoning

IronGalaxy:
His advice is spot on though

Is there no better, less abrasive way to say that in a foreign country

there is great problem in this country, we are the greatest part of it.
I dont just get the 90% of the comments i read here: Is it that we dont know/have what to comment? or we are just releasing the comments out of the usual Hatred?
What would have a leader advised his fellow citizens in diaspora? Advise them to continue breaking the laws of the host country (the crime-oriented ones)? That they shouldnt abide by the laws of the host land just like the way immigrants are not supposed to heed to our own laws here right? He should compel Rhamphosa or wetin wetin to prostrate for Nigerians in SA after apologising and assuring them of further safety and which we have witnessed a visible peace so far? Buhari should train Rhamphosa how to secure his own country right, when we are having a greater security challenge back home here. C'mon, let us drop all these unreasonable mindsets, we have huger task ahead!

I want this man to advise his Fulani brethren to respect the culture and way of life of other Nigerians rather than kill them. This is the worst thing to ever happen to any country. Sometimes it is difficult to explain why we are not all in the streets protesting. Maybe some are unaware that this man and his APC have given all they have.

I don't understand what some folks expect of Buhari; to engage the SA president in a fisticuff or threaten him or what exactly?! It is usually those that knows less about administration and diplomacy that speaks nonsense, I've noticed!!

you don talk am finish.

Auxtin85:
Cow President don talk he own, weak like dodo. His visit to South Africa has no significant contribution to us living in South Africa.

If you stay in south Africa you will know your brothers are doing a very good job in distroying the image of Nigeria in south Africa
