I remember the first day he reported to class at Mass Communication Dept , Institute of Management & Technology Enugu. I saw him in front of Mr. Ben Agbo's office and wearing this same cloth and looking forlorn. I asked him : It seems you came here with your sister ? He said " no , I am on my own." And walked away. I kept wondering what this little boy came to do in my dept until I saw participating in the Creative Art Forum and later in Home movies. Lol

Any Christian teacher in that school is a goner.

They have helped to market the Book....
Unknowingly.

Unable to cope with Climatic change

Haven't we up-ed the range

Do you still wonder why someone insist that the man is Jubril? Even with regard to poor educational background of the North, this is embarrassingly insane to think that this man attended Prima...

Will they obey the Court?

No body should arrest anybody for certificate matter until someone in Aso Rock is arrested.

They should better advance their Intro Tech and produce a better pencil.... Artificial Kini?

They will collect their DTA
And then , everything ends there....
Call it Governance Nigeriana!

Lafiya Dole has finally 'mutuwanci' ....identify and settle the baggers wella....Amnesty, ransom, grant , and scholarship etc...its in order ...APC Dan banza kowai!

The Nation s a paper tiger.
There was a country - prophesied Achebe.
Until the downtrodden are giving their rights
Until the oppressors jettison their ethnic and religious bigotry
Until rights of all Nigerians are guaranteed without recourse to religion and ethnicity..
Until unjust rulers are shown the way out..
Until then... The Nation will continue its free fall
Until then it will be a nation in name and not in reality..
Like if you feel me..

100 million people not 10 million people?
What is the difference between the first and second lies?

It took him 10 months to drag 180million people into poverty. Is it not wickedness that he now say he can only take only 10million people out of poverty in 10 years? And if he leaves in 2023 how will he do that?

jesusjnr:
Not surprised at all.

Here's why:

Matthew 6:19-21 (KJV)

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Words for the wise

Even as he brandished Gun in front of the Governor, I won't believe until I see the cows. In Tinubu's voice: Where are the cows?

She made a very important revelation: "He knew what he signed for" .
That spoke a lot.

Nigeria, Drug Cartels And Xenophobia In South Africa. THE FACTS.


I have a lot of problem with the authenticity and accuracy of these stories , I'm a graduate of the University of the Witwatersrand, now University of Johannesburg, I am married to a South African, I worked for the African union from inception until 2009, when I decided to relocate, so, from 1996-2009, that would be 13 years of living in South Africa, by virtue of having studied and worked in South Africa and speak Zulu fluently. Also, due to the nature of the work, it afforded me the opportunity to travel extensively within South Africa and Africa generally. So I can conveniently and confidently say that, I know South Africa and its people, very well.

Now, the issues raised in this write up concerning drugs is untrue, yes, some Nigerians are involved in drugs, but they didn't start it nor are they even in the majority, neither are they the kingpins of drugs, but the thing is Nigerians in South Africa are like the children of the Third Reich, damned for what they are and damned for what they're not.

Encapsulating the drug business in South Africa and prostitution, it would be wise to recognise that drug business was going on before the earliest Nigerians settled in SA, in Cape town, gang wars started in Cape flats amongst the colored people long before Nigerians got there, in Durban, there was drug trade by Indians from Pine town to the Promenade long before Nigerians saw the Indian Ocean in Kwazulu Natal,( note Durban is not a capital city like JHB. Pietermaritzburg is the capital city)

Now, in JHB, drug business by Nigerians are heavily situated in places like, Hillbrow, Berea, Yeovil, Orange grove, Ellis park, Rossettenville. These are areas heavily populated by foreigners of diverse origin.
Let me also shine some light on Prostitution before I conclude. Prostitution is a right of passage of 90% of South Africans, white, black, Indian, colored, the remaining 10% are Khoisan. An average South African girl of 15 years already has a child before the family will now aid her to move from the locations to JHB, Durban, Port Elisabeth, East London, Cape town or Tswane, which is by the way, the real name of Pretoria.

Native South Africans are extremely poor and as as a result crime and prostitution thrive in the Locations ( informal settlements) like Soweto, Alexandra, Tembisa, Lenasia and Eldorado park in Gauteng province, with JHB as capital city. Lamontville, port Shepstone, Umlazi, Umtata, Bluff, and other locations spread out in the Zululand, feed the crime and LovePeddler needs of Durban KZN. While in the Cape town is fed by, Gugulethu, Kylitsha, cape flats and neighbouring East London and Port Elizabeth.
The other provinces, like Bloemfontein, Limpopo and basically all of the former Northern Transvaal, Boputhatswana, flock to JHB, supported by migrating prostitutes from Namibian, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi and a smattering handful from Botswana, Swaziland, Lesotho and Angola, not forgetting assassins from Mozambique and Zimbabwe. These completes the Violent crimes and Prostitution ring in South Africa.

Looking at drugs holistically, Nigerians, Tanzanians, Indians, Pakistanis' Italians and the Boer South Africans are indictable here, but in different categories.
The drug business are in three categories:-

1. Importers, ( drugs are not indigenous to South Africa) so they are imported from South America, Asia and Europe to SA. You might be wondering Europe? Yes, Europe,drugs is not restricted to Cocaine and Opium, inclusive also are, Fentanyl, Mandrax,Ecstasy, Acid paper e.t.c these come from Europe, they all find their way to South Africa and somebody brought them into the country and just about 10% of importers are Nigerians, are you now wondering who is then responsible for the remaining 90%? South African whites/Boers, yes most drug imports come from Holland which is the Boers original home. Have you ever wondered why there haven't been and major drug bust in the Airports or anywhere else in South Africa? Simple, its a Cartel, run by Indigenes, the Police, immigration and Customs.

2. These are the middle men, who now buy 50-60-70grammes, break it into 5gs and in turn sell to the third and final group in the drug dealing chain, called " Ndi-Atuke" .

3. Now, the third and final group who take the major risk in the business are the ones who may buy 5 or 10g and cook a part to sell as rocks and the other as powder, this group are the street urchins who market in small scale to whoever can afford it and this group are individuals that cannot afford to be cartels as they are constantly harassed by the Police and the Mafia, to pay protection money.

This third group, some of them team up with pristitutes to bring their customers ( mainly whites) to buy from them. So the prostitutes are already addicts, who are no longer accepted as residents in strip clubs like Summit club, Dorchester and other such clubs that dot the cities of South Africa like a reminder of its immediate gory past, they are the prostitutes and all Pinch sellers are guilty of such association and its not restricted to Nigerians.

Now to the reason why Nigerians are targets for this Xenophobic attacks are two tiered.
1. Once upon a time on Etv South Africa, there was a Talk show named "Third Degree" hosted by an Indian lady who was trying to divert attention of criminal acts from her stock to Nigerians, first of such shows was a Masacre that took place in a gay club called little Caesars, in the ensuing documentary, she blamed it on Nigerians and drugs, but when the case was finally busted, no Nigerian was involved. It was dobe by whites and Indians who hated Homosexuality.

The second documentary of note was the Moodly killing, Moodly, an Indian then a student in the University, reported his white girlfriend missing, and Mrs Pillay of Third degree concocted a story that Nigerians abducted her because of debt from drugs. At the conclusion of the investigation, when the body was found, autopsy indicated that the girl was not a drug user and that Moodley himself strangled and dumped her body before reporting her missing, again, no Nigerian involved.

2.. The second and most probable reason ( which even irritates me) Nigerian drug dealers in Hillbrow are lousy, Infact, if you see them misbehaving in South Africa, you'd think they're in the village and drug sale is a legal business. Others nationals more involved and richer are absolutely living non-descript lives, but their Nigerian counterparts in the lower rung are living flamboyantly with no obvious source of income.

So, in conclusion, Nigerians are not as was described in that write up, but they have simply constituted themselves into a "nuisance" in South Africa by their show-off. If they were the biggest drug dealers in South Africa, they would all be in prison by now. The biggest barons are big South Africans and are known to the government, that's why they are untouchables. Don't regard all their blame-shifting
There are lots of Nigerian professionals living and working in South Africa, even the face of Vodacom the largest telecom service provider is a Nigerian. Many small and medium scale businesses in South Africa are established and run by Nigerians. They create several jobs for South Africans.
There are so many Nigerian Doctors, lecturers, business men , Engineers holding places of pride in the economy and society. These are areas where the citizens don't even have the capacity to cover.
Finally, xenophobia has nothing to do with drugs, but lots to do with envy. They came to loot and kill. Do you fight crime with another crime?

Thank you for this insight. This is thought provoking ...

Best overall state in what?
Skull mining I guess

Useless yeyebrities ! If its to fight against irrelevancies you will see them acting like lions and lionesses. Tufiaa!
