Hotworta1:
We even took the tribalism to SA...Jesu!

What are you watching? Where did you see tribalism in the video?

DrNueLpureHoney:
I did bro... Just Tryna point out something before some derail the thread

Okay!

DrNueLpureHoney:
Can we just stop this tribalism of a thing and work as a team... let's work as a single entity.

United,we stand... Divided,we fall

This is not tribalism. The topic may sound so, but please read the post itself

These two videos show clearly that it is not only Igbos under attack. Yorubas are also under serious attack and are defending themselves, like the Igbos. And for those who are still under the illusion that only Igbos are in SA; ask yourself why a Yoruba is the current president of Nigerian Association in SA. You think Igbos only put him there? The previous president was an Igbo. It is turn by turn

These videos are a good reason to eschew tribalism on this issue and work together to fight (by any means possible) two common enemies: the SA people and the stupid Nigerian government who cannot protect its citizens whether home or abroad.

frosbel2:
My advice ?

Come home and invest in the east, you do not stand a chance

My dear friends, the are almost as many yorubas (westerners) in SA, so it's not about going back to the east.

Correct the two videos show clearly that it is not only Igbos under attack

Jumlek2411:
Some Nigerians are into legitimate business for crying out loud.

Not some. Most

Larryfest:
Not all Nigerians over there are into crime those southy are just been dumb that's all, with the way some Nigerians are into all sorts of crime in other countries how come those countries are not killing Nigerians the way South Africans are doing now

Actually, very few Nigerians (less than 1%) are into crime in SA. It's just that crime is always an attractive thing to report on.

If these xenophobic hoodlums destroy all of this how do you suppose this person and others like him can start afresh?

Thankfully, he is safe for now. But he and his family are holed up at home for 2 days now.

Don't believe everything you are hearing about Nigerians in SA. There are between 30-40 K Nigerians living in SA. The overwhelming majority of those are legal residents and do legal jobs.

This is what one of them does for a living; I know him personally. As you can see in the fotos, he even has South Africans (the lady in second photo) working for him.

If I must die, I 'd rather die defending myself than die like a chicken. Hopefully, the equally hateful and xenophobic SA police will not start shooting these people defending themselves, even as they (SA police) have not shot a single of the SA hooligans.

Meanwhile..........................................................Nigeria and Nigerians are the playground of the world.

On the one hand, Chinese, Lebanese, other Arabs, British, Americans, South Africans, Malians, Togolese, Cameroonians (just name it) come to Nigeria, set up businesses, degrade their Nigerian workers (physically, mentality and psychologically), make tons of money, and take the money back home. In this process they defraud the Nigerian system, pay little to no tax, and go unscathed. Thanks to your corrupt politicians and law enforcement; thanks to the ever docile and ignorant citizens. Malians, Guineans, Senegalese, Nigeriens, etc are part of the Fulani herdsmen-without borders who come into Nigeria, kidnap you, extort you, rob you, terrorize you, rape your women, maim you, kill you, and destroy your agricultural systems. They are foreigners in your country, but they do as they, please often lethally, and in connivance with certain people in your own government.

On the other hand, Nigerians go elsewhere, many are genuine and law abiding; others commit crimes or engage in fraudulent activities (like some foreigners in Nigeria also do). They are easily arrested, jailed, killed or maimed, and their genuine livelihoods destroyed. What happens from the Nigerian government side? NOTHING.

Either way, Nigeria and Nigerians are the playground of the world. They kill you in your country; they kill you in their country. Nigeria is right now the most useless country in the world ruled by useless leaders and populated by useless citizens.

valentineuwakwe:
is it high ranking we go chop.....what effort has he made to stop the xenophobia attacks on his country men in south africa....

I think he can only talk or write about it. There is not much he can do practically, for a variety of reasons (i) he is not a politician (ii) he is under the employment of SA govt (Stellenbosch is a public university, and #3 ranked in SA) (ii) some Nigerians (again, few) have been involved in criminal activities, of which somebody of his caliber cannot be seen to be defending. The onus is on the Nigerian govt to do something.

madenigga:
i thought some people said all Nigerians do in south Africa is push drugs

They don't know any better. There are many Nigerian professors in SA universities.

RTSC2:
There are a lot of bad eggs from neighbouring countries in Nigeria.

Why are Nigerians not murdering foreigners?
Or you think anybody has a monopoly of violence?

Dude, we are making the same point. So quit backing up the wrong tree. Nigerians love foreigners more than they love themselves, which is both good and bad.

Iamgrey5:
There are many Nigerian professors in South Africa, some heading various departments or faculties in South African universities.

He is good a scholar but I don't know if he is the highest scholar.

Black South Africans don't generally fancy these type of occupations.

We are talking of Nigerians in SA, not black South Africans

AtikuNetwork:
He is law-abiding. Unlike some that are constituting nuisance there.

Most of those killed (again not only Nigerians) are actually law abiding. As is the case with things like this, the few bad eggs bring everyone else down.

kayfra:
Who in Aba gave him the title of the highest ranking Nigerian Professional in South Africa?

Is there any reason he cannot be ''one of the highest ranked'', if not ''the highest ranked'', Nigerian in SA? We know most Nigerians in SA are lowly self-employed folks doing genuine businesses. A few others are criminals running around with drugs and internet fraud activities. Others are in the academia, prof Opara being one of such. I'd like to see how many other Nigerians in SA hold such an intimidating professional profile as Opara. Or you want to mention the Nigerian ambassador to SA? Well, with all due respect, he/she is not really in SA working for an SA entity and is not a ''professional'', but a political appointee, positions often made out of nepotism and cronysm.

wakaman:
Your perspective, your narrative!

If you are yamree it is typical

How can this not be unimportant to you? Archetypal ''non-Yamree Nigerian Fulani'' mentality

DrNueLpureHoney:
And after these South Africans no go like put respek on the word Nigerians

Available information indicates that not only Nigerians are killed. In fact, Nigerians are the least killed of all Africans. They are just the most vocal of those killed. SA is a den of xenophobia

Banmeallday:
Nigeria is the Nigger Area of the world, coined and produced by ENGLAND....

See England see Nigger Area

It is not in the name. Or is it?

I know he is not a politician or a diplomat, but I wonder what he thinks about other Africans (in his case Nigerians) being killed in SA

Available estimates from Statistics South Africa and the United Nations show that over 30,000 Nigerians live in South Africa. Data reveal that 127 Nigerians have been killed in three years, while 13 out of these were reportedly killed by South African police. Aug 2

30K Nigerians in SA is a very very very tiny fraction of both the Nigerian and the SA population. How come this is happening?

ProfBrugo:
Ipob yoots deveroping SA by force. Anywhere they go they must commit crime. A good thing the foreign minister is their brother. Let him speak to them in their native tongue and caution them. SA is not in need of deveropers.

Those in the video spoke Yoruba. They are Yoruba ''criminals'' in SA. Just last month, a Yoruba ''criminal'' was strangled by SA police. It was on video and posted here on NL

Dudeweedlmao:
For Nigerians abroad not to commit crime? You're asking for too much.

You really think this was about Nigerians committing crime in SA? You better think again; they are killing all Africans, not just Nigerians

You tried to counter the raging 77 yahoo fraudsters bursted by FBI but this incident was not recent. You made a fundamental error in the body of your narrative which i wont disclose except you disagree with my observation.

That does not stop the news from being true. Everything old was once new. How old is old sef?
