Few Africans are hard working but because many are lazy hence the stereotype.

You are also promoting same false stereotype.

vaxx:
The use of that word is just crazy and alarming . it is rested on pride. Nigerians are hard-working no doubt, so are the citizens of other nation. Nigerians tends to dominate fast base on the population. if one Nigerian is successful in a particular trade , he invite tens of his brother into the same buisness and that continue .

Since many of them are Igbos, I suppose one of the problems is the way the igbos tend to dominate and outcompete other people in the market. Even in Lagos they do the same thing. My mother used to trade around Balogun area and she used to mention this. They "conspire" among themselves to crash product prices and over time run other locals out of business. And if they try it in another country surely the locals would want them to be driven out.

IamR:
I wonder! That statement is laced with pride.

Empty pride. What's the pride in running away from your own country and becoming a nuisance in another man's land. Worst part is you calling your hosts lazy. Even if they are lazy, must you tell it to their face. Why won't they attack you. Nigerians and our empty pride.

Stupid Nigerians that keep referring to native citizens as being lazy. Tell me how and why they should accommodate you. If you are all that hardworking then why not stay in your country to build it up. The same way some Nigerians in the US refer to African-Americans as being lazy. That bring a lot of animosity. Who want that kind of guests in his home.

Ijeleigbo:
This shows you the extent of the foolishness of the black and colored south Africans. They never thought about the repercussions when embarking on murdering their own fellow African brethren and destroying their businesses because of jealousy. The most laziest set of humans I have come across on this earth.
The blood of the innocent are crying out loud to God. This is the beginning of economic downfall for them coupled with the economic recession they are facing.
Yes we Nigerians we have our own internal problems but we are God's own people, we are blessed and that's why we have so many natural resources and the most populated black nation on earth...

Empty! Empty! Empty! And what have you all done with what God gave you. And why do Nigerians run away from Nigeria. Some musicians are not even proud enough to shoot their videos in Nija. They run to SA. Natural resources does not make nation. Many countries in Europe do not have significant natural resources but see what they have been able to with the little they have.

Crazy thugs that won't go after the politicians that caused their problem. Where were they during RevolutionNow protest. They have finished spending election money their grand patron in Bourdillon gave to them. "Awon were".

patorial:
But these people geh mind o, if na me I go just move to the nearest safe place for the main time o

Until you travel out of Nigeria that you begin to value your country. If only the government can provide uninterrupted power supply and good roads, Nigerians will return in the million. And most importantly some level or law and order.

Sorry to say this. Some of these northerners are somewhat backward. See his level of reasoning. A 12-yr girl is now a woman that can make decision on her own. An adult male took advantage of her immaturity and that's rape.

Nnukwueze:
You can't close borders when there is little or no local production.

Why not? People don't have hands to farm or there are no lands to farm. Food production is the most basic thing. Let us start with that first.

Nnukwueze:
The Nigerian government is just trying to frustrate Igbo businesses but Igbos will continue to prosper.

How? Explain your comment. So, the country should be solely import dependent.?

ORIENTATION101:
Nigerians can now see the parasitic relationship of benin and niger republic.
We pay heavily on monthly basis for fuel subsidy . They still smuggle the fuel from Nigeria to their countries without paying tax.

The pay biliions dollars annually import duties to their own govt on Rice's e. t.c .but 90% of the rice re freely smuggled into Nigeria and sold without paying tax.

But it is Nigerians that do smuggling into and out of Nigeria. Except that main beneficiaries are these neighbouring countries. Nigerians are their own enemies.

Why all the complain? Is it not a Nigerian thing. Where you all watch CNN rather than a local news channel. Where you prefer the premier league rather than your own local league. You all and your president are suffering from the same sickness.

Earlier today, the African political living legend and APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu received US Consul General in Lagos Ms Claire Pierangelo and Ms Kathleen Fitzgibbon.

Details of their meeting are not yet known

Imperialists and their informants are toying with your lives. The notes or dossier from the meeting with the consul-general get sent to her boss in Washington and that's used to influence policy toward you as well as future exploitation actions. Nigerians are too docile. They don't have a clue how the world work. You are all owned already. Chinese are just in to too late to get their own cuts, while westerners are still largely running the show. If you think slavery or colonialism has end then you must be living in Lala-land.

NwaAmaikpe:





Maimunat was married to Abdulwahab.
He beat her at every opportunity he got till she decided she had had enough and ran back to her parent's house.

Two months later, Abdulwahab was in her parents' home with the neighborhood's Imam; his family and some neighbors to plead for forgiveness and ask her back.

He said the separation had made him realize his life was worthless without Maimunat in it.
He even cried and offered to be beaten up as atonement for all his wrongs.

Her family were moved by his repentance and sincerity so they convinced Maimunat who was already in an affair with me to go back to him.
She did; just to save face for her family.

Two weeks later.
We heard Maimunat was dead from a broken neck.
All thanks to Abdulwahab who claimed he was trying to massage her neck after she complained of an ache in it.

I hope this story means something to any Nigerian hoping to stay back in South Africa after reading and witnessing this charade of an apology.

People don't change.
They are whom they've let us know they are.

Xenophobia is the one thing wrong about South Africa which must change if Nigerians must prosper there.
But wouldn't you rather be in South Africa than back home in Nigeria where everything is wrong?

Is South Africa your country? Why will you die or want others to die there. The people and government have no responsibility to you. People work hard and together to develop their own country but we Nigerians choose not to get along or worse cut and run. Don't Nigerians have dignity. Man must not live by bread alone.

symbianDON:
south africans have not yet understood what they are doing to themselves......anyway, in as little as 10 years from now, the full gravity of their fo.ol.ishness will be evident enough for them to understand....

And once they take over possession of white-owned lands, which they deserve to do, they will be all alone facing sanctions in isolation.

dfrost:
Which big brother? Is that how your big brother always leaves his house and stays in your house all the time?

Big brother that does not have sense of shame. Is that one a big brother?

Foxman19:
I wonder if government not reading this kind article. Very wicked politicians.

Instead, their paid e-warriors do the job for them.

banji1:
Let me say this quite frankly, if anyone of these Nigerians should by misadventure get attacked tomorrow, I won't lose sleep or pray for him. You had the choice, you chose otherwise!
I understand everyone has right to make decisions, just like I chose to hang on in Nigeria, toiling to build my own empire, even amid the supposed turmoil. And I can say without mincing words that things aren't as worse as we present it in Nigeria. Just that it takes a deeper kind of insight and knowledge to see things differently and leverage on the scarce opportunity.

Thanks. My point. People can't think beyond what they have been programmed to accept. That Nigeria can never work for them.

Born2smile:
Why remain in a country where your life is not certain? No matter how much you have built over the years, it is incomparable to your life and safety.

If they kill you there, the South Africans will still take over everything you have built. There is no reason to believe that the South Africans will change.

Is it not far better to liquidate all your assets and return to naija? There is always no place like home.
From here, you can work towards your next move. Life is a never ending rollercoaster. Life goes on.

Nigerians have just been mentally programmed to think and accept that nothing can work in their country. The same place, the white man, Chinese and other Asians come to make their fortune.

Just think about this comparison. A 200 million plus market to a 40 million plus market. If electricity is fixed in Nigeria, the country has the potential to create at least 1,000 millionaires per month.

America already has about 11 million millionaires.

Sterope:
People are still migrating to Libya despite what is on the news

Xenophobia in SA didn't start today or 10 years ago but our people will not listen.

I think most of our people have lost their sense of human dignity. The thing in you and I that says to us "I can't take or accept this". To restore what Nigerians have lost human-wise require divine intervention.

That's what Sowore was fighting for. Both most Nigerians don't get it because they have lost the ability to reason in the most logical ways.

For example, some Nigerian guys marry old women or younger ones for getting residency papers. Old or young, I can't do it. I was once in such situation, I worked hard to save money for my grad school instead. Our people just need to rebuild themselves from within.

But let us be honest, this mass migration of Nigerians to a struggling country like South Africa should not have happened in the first place. The same way the mass migration to countries like Malaysia, and in the past or present, Spain, Ireland, UAE and others. And the way Nigerians do it. If South Africa is a country that is working for it citizens, it's unlikely their people will resort to violence against foreigners at mass level. Worse case scenario you may have indivdual cases of attacks like mass shooting at a Walmart in US that target Mexicans. But in a country where people are not permitted to carry arms, victims will be less.

The level of inequality in South Africa alone should scare a potential Nigerian migrant because the country could explode any time because a small minority control the wealth. I don't think people sit down to evaluate the risks that come with moving to specific countries before they pack their bags.

Kalixx:
Guy pls stop spewing rubbish and learn ur history. The Ghanaians were the first to begin a forced evacuation on Nigerians in the 60's when they thought their little country was going to become el dorado.

Why do you think after that incident, Nigeria has not done sth similar again? Anyway, most black countries, once there is some delusion of imminent economic prosperity, they begin to exhibit resentment to other nationals.

While the irony is that other advanced countries like the UK, Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada have used this exact same diversity to further create advancements.

Its just a black problem thing. Compared to other races, theyre the least intelligent and revert to brutish behaviour when thinking fails.

Brain-washing! So if I put you in a line of just 6 individuals that includes an American, a Chinese, an Indian, Saudi Arabian, and a Brazilian, you will be the dullest among them?

The last part of your comment is a testament to solely your own intellectual capacity. It has nothing to do with your skin colour. I once trained and taught undergrads in a western university. I was surprised the students were not as bright as I was made to believe before I left the shores of Nigeria. Most are just your average Joe.

Kingspin:
If Nigerians all over the world return home. The country will not be fixed. I guarantee you that why because Nigeria is a piece of country, piece of ideas, tribes, greed, hate everything. How can you fix a shapeless country?

Did you loan out your brain? Hard time is real o!

Ennyhorlar:
A man before me was sent out of the hall because he couldn't provide the required document for his account.

When it eventually got to my turn.. The lady asked me to get same documents and that I should comeback the second day....

I replied "if I should leave today..and now...I am closing my account ni!"

She looked through my account and saw the Worths of transactions I do make.

She did everything for me within "5mins", no document was submitted and she was just shouting SIR Sir.

In this life, have money and save yourself away from some embarrassments.

Most illogical comment. And those who.do not have money have sinned against God and should be treated as lepers? Only a Nigerian can reason this way.

emeijeh:
If he is/was the first, who then was his lecturer/professor?

Its "first in Nigeria", not globally. And obviously he earned it from a foreign university.

How much income has she earned to pay a tax of N38 million? Then she must have earned over N500 million as income or more. But not sure of what Lagos income tax percentage is.

Or the government IRS office is doing like PHCN using estimated tax numbers.

I surely believe this story. Ask me why. On a recent 3-week visit to Lagos I took over about 30 Taxify rides and just 1 Uber ride. I observed that some drivers had Koboko whip placed on their cars dashboards. Each time I ask them what is its purpose, they retorted that it's for whipping notorious Okada motorcyclists and Keke Marwa drivers who are terrible road users. So, a driver could choose to use same for a passenger in his car.

datola:
It is a good development so far he bring in his expertise and not a way of silencing him or just coming to have a share of the national cake.

If this guy is wise, he should insist on providing his service free of charge but with his stipends funded by Budgit or any other NGO.

Whoever took this shot should enter it into a photography competition. Its heavily loaded.

smogup:
Don't be deceived the award is to the highest bidder.

Is it not the same FIRS that lied that they remit more
income from tax to the FG in this government than in the previous government.

Go back and read that story again.
