Bahddo: if the assassination is done because of hatred of or fear of strangers, then it is xenophobic.
So how is it certain that this isn't a xenophobic attack? You expect it to be a mob action of beating with clubs and cutlasses before it can be as a result of xenophobia?
FroshJaynex: My guy ur likes here won't cure our country of it's illness. BTW Nigeria is far worst cos if it wasn't so we'd not need to travel to another shit hole as S.A for greener pastures. Nigeria is HELL
Not according to millions infesting that country from the rest of the shitholes.
Angelfrost: Not any time soon... More blacks have actually died at the violent hands of their fellow blacks than by wars or natural disasters. It's just sad how a race can hate itself so much yet cry about racism.
We have no respect for each other and have failed to look after our own.
gidoskiaustino: In reaction to the regular attacks on Nigerians living in South Africa, which has led to the mass killing of our people and the destruction and looting of properties worth Nigerians has set Thursday 5th September 2019 to Mourn our brothers and sisters killed in this process This mourning exercise will last for 3 days, and this period, Nigerians are urged not to Purchase MTN Airtimes, Go To Stanbic IBTC Bank, Purchase or subscribe DSTV and GoTV, and also stay away from ShopRite.
honeymix77: Still wondering what Nigerians are still doing in that BBN , Nigeria needs to send a strong message to south Africa. Bubu this is one situation you must not go slow oh. The world is watching its SA today Nigerians full every country.
The only strong message they can send is to leave South Africa en mass.
BabaIbo: Just keep mute if you don't have any meaningful thing to say... Ghanaians are not spared, that's how you folks will be carrying fake news everywhere.
TSRC: I hope these south Africans know that nobody has a monopoly of Violence. Soon it would be the turn of Nigerians. We hardly forget things.
Nobody invited Nigerians to South Africa if things are bad for them they can move to the next country either DRC or South Sudan, there are plenty options if they do not want to go back to Nigeria.They have a choice of other 53 African countries to go and hustle.
saheedbadmus: Dis shows how stupid south africans are..black attacking blacks ..How i wish we nigerians are wicked like dis south africans and take revenge on there citizens and business here in 9ja but we cant cos it would affect us...lots of Nigerians would bé jobless if we take revenge...and Our govt aint helping matters at all o..God save Nigerians and other african country citizens staying in S.A.
This is as stupid as marauding Fulani herdsmen attacking innocent villagers in their sleep.
b0rn2fuck: Our government should be more concerns because this,its not just the property but life of Nigerians aren't safe but they are being dog to FBI who doesn't need them to do their job, assuming if America citizens are being treated this way, I believe this case will be national issue ,war threatening and america soldiers would have been sent to South Africa long time ego. They are only running after internet fraudster which is unwinnable battle except data are shut down all over the world, we should be more worries about kidnapping here, xenophobic in south Africa, bad leadership and looting in the government , then all other things will fall into places ...I'm sad for Nigerians in diaspora , even home na hell fire but home is home. This worst na battle to battle last last for home but for diaspora, no friendly match there at all. Na person wet get house go still win last last but our government can threatening them at least to cast fear in those lazy south africa terrorist then ban all their companies before sending soldiers to withdraw our people
No Americans citizens would not put themselves in harms way for the sake of greener pastures. If the current situation it is true it reflects the sad reality of economic desperation.
jrusky: Pls if you don't know what to say just get out here ok don't upset me this morning. Do you understand
I'm not supporting crime but these South Africa bastards are naturally evil so do we say because Togolesse come to Nigeria as house help and they kill their boss means we should be attacking any Togoleesse on the street
South Africans are shameless bastards and they will pay for their hate against fellow black one good day. This is why I never respect that f u c k I n g Mandela because all these started when the old fool prisoner was the president and Buthelezi was runing his anger against Nigeria and Ghana then I remember vividly.
I have no single respect for South African.
Why are you so desperate to be in South Africa which is just one of the 54 countries in Africa.
pokuasi: shut up with this your baby damage control nonsense. Do you think Nigerians are stupid and not seeing what's going on. A very Respected woman was in your country for a conference and you human savages hacked her to death for no reason instead of your Moronic minister to firstly acknowledge and apologize for those avoidable incidents, she's here creating the distorted impression that SOUTH AFRICAN LIVES AND PROPERTIES IN NIGERIA MATTER MOST to her. Her action could be likened to denial of HOLOCAUST.
Just like the denial of Buhari regarding the Fulani herdsmen brutality.
Blakjewelry: the funny thing is you don't see those killing the white that enslave them rather they go after their own kind, because they feel the heat will be too if they thread that part, but with the black? their life is worth less than a dollar.
Fifty people are killed in South Africa on average everyday,which means about 18000 people including foreigners die violently annually. These numbers should tell you that the situation is not as straightforward as would like us to believe.
Yinkfoldgist: Chairman of the Nigerians in the Diaspora Commission,Abike Dabiri has said the South African Police is being sued over the assault on a Nigerian resident in the country.
Recall that ex-Big Brother Africa housemate and Nigerian model, Tayo Faniran, was assaulted and strangled by South African police on Friday.
Herbephe1: The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) wish to once again condemn in strong terms the indiscriminate looting and killings of Nigerian businesses and citizens in South Africa. The recent strangulation to death of the Deputy Director General of the Chartered Institute of Insurance of Nigeria Mrs Elizabeth Ndubuisi has again brought to the fore the numerous yet unchecked killings against Nigerian citizens in the once apartheid country. It is totally unacceptable that citizens of South Africa have chosen to deliberately attack, loot and kill Nigerians who are either residing or visiting South Africa. As Africans, we had expected that the South African xenophobic attack on any African should have long been repudiated by the government and people of South Africa. However, it is now crystal clear that the South African government is incapable of accommodating other Africans especially Nigerians in their home country. It is obvious also, that the people of South Africa sees Nigerians as competitors not as brothers and sisters. We can no longer accept excuses for what is incurably a provocation against the sovereign will of Nigerians in a country we defended and helped during the apartheid era that tore South Africa apart. Arising from an emergency executive meeting, the leadership of NANS have resolved that thee only way to stop further killings of Nigerians in South Africa is to picket all business entities owned by South Africans in Nigeria. We call on all Nigerians to consciously withdraw from further patronage of the following South African businesses i.e, MTN, DSTV, GOtv, Shoprite and SPAR pending when justice is seen to have be done on the killing of Mrs Elizabeth Ndubuisi. Alternative network providers, such as Glo, Airtel should be used. While open markets can replace the Shoprite. Again, we use this medium to ask all South African business interests in Nigeria to relocate their businesses back to South Africa. Nigeria has been brotherly enough to accommodate the thriving of South African businesses in our economy. No South African citizen or their businesses is under any threat or attack whatsoever in our nation. Therefore, any threat, injury or death to any Nigerian on south African soil is nothing but an affront on the sovereignty of our nation. It is now time to put a permanent stop to these provocations. To this end, we announce our decision to embark on massive picketing and protest against all South African businesses in Nigeria. All students structures in Nigeria are hereby directed to liase with the National Secretariat of NANS for guidelines and action plan on this MOTHER OF ALL STRUGGLES. Injury to any Nigerian anywhere is an injury to all Nigerians everywhere. The South African madness must stop. Africa cannot be at war against Africans. AMANGLA AWETU!!! Signed. Comr. Danielson Akpan President
What a pity they are not calling for Nigerians to leave South Africa.
jrusky: They are animals I knew they must surely show their animal nature very stupid and useless people.
South Africa are Africa bastards I hate them with passion. They disgust me like dog pooh. There is no way bastard won't act like bastard when you hear a country bearing a region name like South Africa you should all know they are bastards. Their case is Like someone who name his son *Street* or *West Africa*pls is that a name
F u c k I n g bastards. May thunder kill you all.
Direct the same anger to your marauding Fulani herdsmen

Jakumo: A generous 99.5% of ALL South Africans are nothing but rampaging boozed-up alcoholics, and they ALL carry semi-automatic handguns, with which they engage in firefights on a daily basis, simply for entertainment.
Not even for a million US green-back dollars paid up front and in cash, would I ever be so foolhardy as to EVER set foot in that God-forsaken place called South Africa for so much as one hour in an airport transit lounge.
Here are the other countries that will are on my no-go list, for the rest of all time, until hell freezes over, or until I die, whichever comes last.
grandstar: To end xenophobia in South Africa, a very deep approach will be needed.
1. Make the labour market flexible. Because the labour market is rigid, most companies are scared of employing workers that are difficult to sack. By making it much easier to sack workers, employers will be willing to employ more
Presently, only 5m people in South Africa pay tax out of a population of over 50m. This is scandalously low. The rigid labour market has created massive underemployment hence many blacks have no jobs and are resentful. This resentment is piled on other Africans.
2. Crime
South Africa has a very high crime rate. The place is a gangsters paradise.
Simple solution is to increase policing and presence in the most crime ridden areas. If need be, send in the army. Apartheid days are gone. Blacks in the township need not to see the police as an occupation force as they did over 30 years ago.
Low crime rate will help reduce xenophobic attacks as such attacks are easy to perpetrate in areas prone to crime.
3. Fast economic growth.
South Africa needs it's economy to grow very fast to create enough jobs for all South Africans.
Presently, it's growth rate is nothing to write home about.
