Ok jokes apart people,lets address some issues here seriously.What makes an average Nigerian seek "ASSYLUM" abroad.?I am curious about this because most countries I've seen and read about where our countrymen and women seek "aduro" will either be US of A, Western Europe and just recently southy.I am yet to see any Nigerian seeking asylum in Ghana,Cotonou,Lome or even ivory coast.
Perhaps if you have valid reasons,please state for us all to learn.

naijasexy: @OP, I thank God that they did not kill you. I think the reason for their bad demeanor is frustration. They are taking it out on the unarmed masses to feel a sense of importance and control.
We must admit though, that they are poorly paid and are desperately searching for alternative sources of income, one being exploitation.
And where did you confirm that NPF men and women are poorly paid my sister?do you know that they are assigned daily allowance which is also been paid with their salary?.prob is along the top hierarchy their allowances most times are not paid as at when due.But that is no excuse for law enforcement agent to vent their frustration on struggling masses.
What they tried with the poster,which I've also noticed around ikeja bus stop in the wee hours is what they USE to do before. packing people from bus stops,bundle them into their buses and lay false charges against them,or rob them of the money on them in form of bail.
If they don't do this,they either also take them to station and lay false charges against them so the bail money will be higher or they hand them over to ritualist for human part use.Yes,men in black are well involved in ritual killing and missing persons.
Just be prayerful ALWAYS as this "corrupt" desperate bastards can do ANYTHING for money,even rob houses.
TravelSouth Africa To Deport 56 Nigerians by jidewin(op): 11:49am On Mar 20, 2012
Just reading the story.Although i saw no biggie about this as it centered on nigerians seeking assylum in south africa.
Enjoy!

South Africa is set to deport 56 Nigerians, The Nation learnt yesterday.

The Federal Government has been notified of the planned deportation, which is coming barely two weeks after a row between the two countries.

The deportees, who have overstayed their visas, applied for asylum because of alleged political “crisis” in Nigeria. They appeared before an Asylum Panel in South Africa and their applications were rejected, it was learnt.

The South African Government checked and discovered that Nigeria is not experiencing any political problem to have warranted asylum for any of its citizens.

shymmex: I'm a full blooded Nigerian guy; born in Lagos, but left for the UK when I was 4-5 - and I have lived here since then. Though, I've lead 90% of my life in London, but I still consider myself a Nigerian. I speak both pigeon English and Yoruba language fluently; and I know Nigerian history, cultures and traditions better than a lot of Nigerians that have never left Nigeria. I just find it condescending and naive when I meet "fresh" Nigerians, and they tell me I'm not Nigerian enough, or I'm a "Jamo". I also remember the first time I applied for a Nigerian passport at the Nigerian High Commission in London; the guy over there told me I wasn't Nigerian; despite having full Nigerian names, and speaking Yoruba to him.

I just can't understand why most Nigerians are like this.

My fellow countrymen,

Absurd and wicked as this acts is,I pray we remain strong and united against these barbarians.What Nigerians displayed during the fracas between Nigeria and South Africans was a huge display that in true Unity,No nation can mesmerize us with impunity.I have met and chatted with some Muslims faithfuls,from northern Nigeria on this forum and from all indications,they are not in support of boko haram neither (I stand to be corrected).
Then the BIG questions is,who are those behind these monsters?Do we have any genuine source to prove so and so are the major hands behind the myriad of problems OUR country Nigeria is facing at Present?.
Rather than we fighting ourselves,Let us UNITE against these bastards.Most times I've been to nairaland,i have realized so many peeps,including government officials,discussing what were posted as comments on this forums.These proves,many people,including foreigners come to nairaland for INFORMATION.
We can share ideas and information on how to defeat these boko haram menace in this country.But we,and i mean ALL of us,need to unite against them.NORTH,SOUTH,MID BELT,SOUTH EAST,SOUTH SOUTH,SOUTH WEST.

Unless we don't believe IN OURSELVES as NIGERIANS.

I say,let our northern nairalanders, who lives and works in north,aware of some individuals who could be members be exposed on nairaland.Their locations and places of meeting could also be stated online.You just could never tell whose next life you would saving,just be providing VITAL information.

Nigerians on the rampage!
09 March 2012, 15:28

Following the storm in a teacup reaction of the Nigerian government regarding the deportation of numerous Nigerians in Johannesburg, news24 and other websites were flooded with comments from South Africans and Nigerians, defending the position of their countries.

In the meantime, the South Africans have apologised for their behaviour and under normal circumstances, the story should now be left to die. However it seems that the Nigerian government has smelled blood, and various of their news sites are proudly proclaiming a victory over South Africa.

The comments section of amongst others the Vanguard news in Nigeria, is unbelievably arrogant and aggressive towards South Africans. Most people claim that they “saved South Africa from slavery”, and that should ultimately give them a free pass into the country without harassment. Unfortunately it seems to be the attitude of their government as well. Furthermore they state that most South Africans are infected with HIV, so we should in fact get HIV certificates to enter Nigeria. They also claim that our business interests in Nigeria should be stopped and companies such as MTN and DSTV should close their doors. Nigeria is portrayed as the giant of Africa, while South Africa is diminished to a country of HIV infected people who bow down to their white masters. Then the comments about us being Xenophobic and intolerant has also been actively promoted. More sinister motives are quoted, and it seems that there are some diplomatic issues boiling under the surface, such as power struggles within the African Union.

I prefer positive dialogue to mudslinging. However, I need to elaborate on some of these sweeping statements our brothers in Nigeria are making, and I sincerely hope that I can point out the logical flaws in many of their views. I hope that they can see this as not an insult to their country, but rather a basis to start looking at their own issues, and hopefully they will be able to understand the situation from the South African perspective.

Drugs, prostitution and kidnapping is rife and Nigerians in South Africa operate many syndicates. No South African in their right mind will blame all Nigerians for this behaviour, but unfortunately, most of us has had run ins with these individuals. This has led to police crack downs and a general mistrust of Nigerians living in South Africa. This is the cause for the suspicious attitude towards Nigerians in our country.

Secondly, I am not diminishing the role that Nigeria played to assist in the democratic election process of South Africa. The democratic election process was mainly developed through decades of talks and internal protests that came from within South Africa. The people who suffered the most under apartheid, was ultimately the ones that sacrificed their lives in order to establish a peaceful nonracial government. For the Nigerians to claim that they were the victors in this battle, without spilling one drop of blood is not only ignorant, but extremely arrogant. The struggle was won from within.

Race issues will not be understood by Nigerians, as much as we don't understand issues between Christians and Muslims in their country. Our constitution views all our citizens as equal, being white, black or Indian. This is the way we operate. We are all Africans in South Africa, and to mention that blacks bow down to whites, and that only whites are active in the economy is false information. It is a complex situation at times, and we have so much to overcome, but we are working amongst ourselves to better the lives of the underprivileged in the way that we see fit.

In terms of trade partners and the role of Nigeria on the South African economy. There has been direct threats that Nigeria will investigate the role South African companies play in Nigeria. They specifically mention MTN and DSTV. We have many multinational companies operating on our shores, and elsewhere in the world. We are not only about DSTV and MTN, so I am sure our economy can survive even should the Nigerians be so petty to relook their position.

I still maintain this is a storm in a teacup and our actions were not malicious. You must respect the rule of law if you travel abroad. We are yellow fever free, and we would not like to introduce the virus into our country again. I myself have a yellow fever card. It is one injection, once in your life. I use it to travel all over Africa. You need this if you travel to Kenya, Tanzania etc. The fact that I am a fellow African does not give me free entry into any other African state. Easy as that!

And the comments about HIV and Aids are unfair and unjust. Our average life expectancy is very low at an average of 51.6, but Nigeria (without HIV) is even lower at 50.6. So both countries have to work on Health issues.

Hope we can understand and learn to respect each other.

PoliticsHow Should Acceptable Yellow Fever Certificate Be Issued by jidewin(op): 5:23pm On Mar 08, 2012
My Fellow Nigerians,
First i wish to say a big thank you for been patriotic and objective,while we took a stand regarding the brazen behaviour of our supposed south african brothers.
It is noteworthy,the observation made during the impasse how we all came together with ONE VOICE to state our contempt against the flagrant and consistent abuse of the friendship that co-exist between the two countries.
The yellow fever certification issue i feel at this juncture have become a national issue we need to deliberate and make our stand known to the appropriate authorities,regarding how to obtain a certified one and what information on it we are meant to know.
I have read online,how the South African immigration authority asked a yellow fever certificate holder from Nigeria,"when he took his yellow fever shot" and the young chap could not even explain or understand what she meant.
Every documents meant to be tendered for visa application requires our thorough in-depth knowledge of and likewise what will be required for tender at the foreign point of entry is a MUST now.
Suffice to say that when obtaining a yellow fever certificate,nothing wrong in also taking the shot,after all the official cost ranges between N500-N1000 and also, the effect of the shot taken will not be effective until after 10 days of the inoculation.
Let us make use of this means to educate and inform ourselves so we do not continue to become object of ridicule before foreign nationals.


I would also seize this opportunity to address and appeal to all our Nigerian brothers and sisters,whose actions and lifestyle in diaspora have largely contributed to the BAD LABEL placed on NIGERIANS,to please,divert your "skills"into laudable means.I believe we are skillful and knowledgeable enough to avail ourselves of the opportunity to sojourn in foreign land and utilize that opportunity very well.Nigerians are fun loving,smart,skillful,intelligent and could be very hard working when we chose to be.

Your contributions and information are welcome please.


God bless Nigeria and her people.

PoliticsRe: We Won’t Apologise To Nigeria, Says S-africa by jidewin(m): 9:42am On Mar 08, 2012
South Africa should apologise today for the illegal
deportation of 125 Nigerian passengers last
Friday at the Oliver Thambo International Airport
in Johannesburg or face tougher measures,
officials said last night.
Nigeria has given five conditions to be met by
South Africa to end the impasse sparked by the
incident.
They are:
•unconditional apology to Nigeria over the
deportation of 125 Nigerian travellers;
•compensation for all the victims of the cruelty;
•disciplinary action against all the officials
involved in the incident;
•a review of the Yellow Fever Vaccination Card
policy; and
•a commitment that such a diplomatic slip will
not reoccur
A Ministry of Foreign Affairs source, who pleaded
not to be named, said: “We are awaiting the
response of South Africa to our demands by
Thursday (today).
“Just wait till Thursday and you will be proud to
be a Nigerian from the steps we are going to
take.”
The row continued last night, with Nigeria
deporting 42 more South Africans, who flew into
Lagos aboard a South Africa Airways flight 060.
South Africa retaliated by turning back five
Nigerians, also last night. Two of the Nigerians
flew Arik Air . The others were on South African
Airways.
The Nation learnt that the African Union may
have intervened in the diplomatic row between
the two countries. Some leaders are said to be
pleading with President Goodluck Jonathan to
overlook the excesses of South African President
Jacob Zuma.
Another source said: “I think the AU has stepped
into the crisis, in view of the strategic roles of
Nigeria in Africa. The AU is worried because
Nigeria is the largest contributor to peace-keeping
operations in Africa.
“Some countries are pleading with President
Jonathan not to give President Zuma a chance to
divide the Union.
“They have also reminded Nigeria of its sacrifice
to make South Africa and other Frontline States
become independent nations.
“Consultations have been on with pressure on
Nigeria to play a big brother role.”
There is reprieve for South Africans entering
Nigeria aboard Arik Air. They are not affected by
the deportation.
Only South Africans coming into the country
through the South African Airways (SAA) are
being deported.
“In line with our new reciprocity policy, we also
decided to limit the deportation to only South
Africans coming into Nigeria through SAA.
“Any South African who arrives in Nigeria aboard
Arik Air will not be deported.”
Responding to a question, the source said: “We
will not stop the deportation until we reach the
125 limit deported last Friday by Immigration
officials in South Africa. It is an eye for an eye.
“Already, intelligence reports have indicated that
most South Africans, who came to Nigeria with
Business Visas, are in paid employment. We have
proof of falsified records.
“Those in this category will soon be deported
too.”
But a spokesman for South Africa’s home affairs
department Ronnie Mamoepa, said the decision to
deport the Nigerians stemmed purely from
concerns about health.
“It’s not an immigration issue, it’s a health
matter , Nobody without a yellow fever
certificate is allowed into the country and that’s
what this is.” He was quoted by Reuters.
At the Murtala Muhammed International Airport,
Ikeja, Lagos, airlines and immigration officials
were busy screening passengers bound ‘for South
Africa, with a view to ensuring that they possess
relevant valid documents to ensure they are not
denied entry at the Oliver Tambo Airport in
Johannesburg.
Some of the passengers intervened explained
that it was right for the Federal Government to
have retaliated on account of what they describe
as the unruly attitude of South African officials
both at the High Commission offices in Nigeria
and at the airport in Johannesburg.
One passenger who identified himself as Gregory
Wendi, explained that he has lived in South Africa
for some years, amid maltreatment by the
authorities.
The Port Health unit attached to the Murtala
Muhammed International Airport, was busy with
passengers regularising their Yellow Card.

In South Africa you get Nigerians who forever sending sms's telling people to give out their details so that they can do fraud and that South African is arrested, In South Africa you get Nigerians who hijack building and vandalise them so that LovePeddlers and drug users can leave there, In Sout Africa you get a Nigerian who kill a South African for his or her own space, Please let's be realistic in this matter, In South Africa you get Nigerians who infect South African ladies with HIV and they are dedicated to infect them, Oooh plse give me a break!!!!I rest my case on Nigerians'' - Aijaman - March 7, 2012 at 08:07

''May be that's because I don't see Europeans standing at every street corner selling drugs. May be it's because I don't see Europeans kidnapping under-aged girls, giving them drugs then forcing them into prostitution. May be it's because Europeans aren't running 419 scams. Need I go on? Ps: I don't have a problem with Chinese or Somalians either, know why?! 'Cause they make an honest living! That's why!''  Yolandè Rwaai - March 7, 2012 at 08

''Perhaps the Nigerian authorities should take a good look at the corruption that goes on with their emigration officials and the so called friendly business environment is not so friendly and equally corrupt with undisclosed commissions having to be paid etc. We won't even discuss the mobile phone and internet fraud's which are perpetrated by Nigerian Nationals in our country!!!!!''  -- Mike - March 7, 2012 at 06:58 Report comment





@OP

Evidently, this is a clear case of xenophobia. South Africans must have been nursing irrational fear and hatred for Nigerians. they link Nigerians to crime, drug trafficking and prostitution.

in any case, I personally feel they reserve every right to dictate any medical test they deem fit as a criteria for an entry clearance into their country- be it genotype test, dental check up certificate or whatever. However, I see no reason they should arbitrarily decide to deport Nigerians who have been granted entry clearance/visas sequel to satisfying the health conditionalities. it's just gross to punish people after they have met your side of the bargain and satisfied your stipulations.

as far as I'm concerned, the equation is not balanced yet.

125 - [28+56] = 41

so, Nigeria needs to deport 41 more!  grin grin grin
Ol boy no dey believe everything written about nigerians on south african blogs or forums.that bit was culled from news24 and her sister news site fin24.com.None of them including EtV have nothing good to write about nigerians except negativities.you must by hvae read what the minister health of said regarding the issue of yellow fever certy in question.in the first place we don't even need it and we have a passmark from WHO.
Typical south africans blames their faults,problems and woes on foreign nationals,especialy those from DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.its their habit.I've worked with so many of them even in Nigeria.

I am a business man. From a business perspective, I can tell you that Nigeria is an investment goldmine. Especially for developed African nations like South Africa. Go and read about the story of what happened to Vodacom when MTN established in Nigeria. Till today, Vodacom is regretting their costly ignorance. Ever wondered why multichoice is more present in Nigeria than any other African country apart from SA? Do you know how many South African services exist and thrive in Nigeria?

Let me say it in pidgin english, Naija people sabi chop and enjoy life, but we no dey produce.

The above is the reason why we are a heck of a goldmine for businesses from developed nations. The advantage SA gat over other countries is the continental and regional familiarity. They can exist and do business with all the inefficiencies in Nigeria. That is difficult for people from other continents.

160 million mouths is not beans. Sell gala at the rate of 1 Naira to every Nigerian, you'll turn into a very big boy in every currency.
