am suprised that some citizens of that Republic of HIV/AIDS have the guts to post silly comments here, they should be careful because if we react to their comments, their minister of communication will apologize too.  UP NAIJA

The South African government has committed the biggest post-apartheid democratic blunder. LAst week we heard that some five Malawian soccer players were turned back because they didn't have same documentation and this hardly made news. The MAlawian govt never complained.

Now come the Nigerians who add absolutely no value to our economy and our government is made to apologize to a government that is struggling to bring any semblance of sanity in their own country. When will our govt realize that the mere reason that there are so many Nigerians here is simply because there is no effective government in that part of the world ? The people masquerading as leaders there are nothing but big time thieves no different to the drug-selling scum they export to our country.

Sani Abacha ruled for a mere 2 years but when he died he had stolen $USD 750 million. And still our govt think this is a country that deserve any respect.

Diplomatic spat: Why South Africa begs Nigeria
Thursday, 08 March 2012 21:11 administrator   
By Abdulrahman Abdulraheem

The South African government yesterday ate humble pie by tendering an “unreserved apology” to its Nigerian counterpart over the deportation of 125 Nigerians over the weekend, which resulted in a diplomatic spat between the two countries. The South African government sent an official apology letter to this effect to Nigeria.

Peoples Daily investigations revealed that the South African government, which had earlier adopted a hard line stance over the Yellow fever card imbroglio, was forced to retreat primarily to protect its economy and the business interests of some of its top citizens domiciled in Nigeria. Aside being the biggest market for South Africa’s mobile telecoms operator, MTN, Nigeria is also a strategic hub for South Africa’s Shoprite as well as Standard Bank Group, the parent of StanbicIBTC, all of which have profitable operations here.

A reliable source in one of the South African firms in the country told our reporter yesterday that investors in his company, some of who are members of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa had to pressure the government of the country to see reason why allowing the diplomatic row to linger would hurt their own nation more than Nigeria.

This, the source said, “played a significant role in getting the SA government to backpedal from its earlier position on the matter (yellow fever card feud)”.

The MTN Group’s financial result as at December 2010 showed that its total revenues globally for that year stood at N2.57 trillion (115 billion rand), while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBIDTA) stood at N1.07 trillion (48 billion rand).

A break-down of the Group’s results showed that MTN Nigeria, which remains its biggest operations, contributed the most to its revenues and profits in 2010. MTN Nigeria made total revenues of N749 billion that year, which was 29% of the Group’s total revenues in 2010.

I commend the Nigerian governmrnt for its gallant move, SA's action is actually a blessing in disguise, as it allowed us the opportunity of doing a cost benefit analysis, which am sure they sent to SA, The king might be sick but the king is still alive.

Every government in the world is corrupt, its just that while most countries have graduated to Strategic corruption, we are still practicing Operational corruption

God Bless Nigeria

RSA:

South Africa apologised for the 124 deported Nigerians but nothing changes regarding the yellow fever certificate.

Nothing changed,Nigerians will still need to produce the certificate when visiting the republic.Our government only apologised because your government became emotional about this issue and they also used this as a nation building to divert your current domestic problems,like Boko Haram that is on the killing string and cannot be stopped.
