LOL at envy

More a foreigner problem than xenophobia

Brexit happened due to the high levels of EU nationals in the UK
Trump happened (in part) due to the illegal migration problem from Mexico and South America
Italy, Germany and France experiencing the same disquiet from their citizens

It becomes a real problem when resources are stretched, unemployment high and arrogance and crime from certain groups exacerbate the situation.

Indeed. I can understand that. What annoys me is how some self-hating Nigerians are always willing to ignorantly belittle Nigeria with false claim and then hand over advantages to those who despise us like some Ghanaians, South Africans etal.

When I see Ghanaians, South Africans, and many others with serious issues, insulting Nigerians online with ignorant claims I realize they are basically regurgitating false crap and lies we Nigerians ourselves have provided them with.

I like using real example to drive home points. South Africans will come here dissing Nigeria for crime and insecurity yet let us examine the factual reality most people are ignorant of which is that murder, rape and violent crime are through the roof in SA to the point 4 South Africa Cities are included in the list of the 50 cities of the world with the highest murder rate in the world.

Cape Town at number 8, Nelson Mandela Bay at 24, Durban at 35 and Johannesburg at 42 with not even a single Nigerian city on the list.

Should South Africans then be shading us because self-hating and ignorant Nigerians make us appear the worst and most worthless nation in the world?

See the list below for yourself. Nigeria may be broken but fixing her begins with everyone of us. If we cannot contribute to that then we should at least refrain from worsening the problem via attacking her falsely before the world.

I'm no apologist for crime in Mzanzi but I think you'll find the reason for our representation on that list is due to our internationally recognized publishing of statistics, something that's non-existant in most of Africa.

If our cities were as bad as you're suggesting, millions of tourist would not come here, and that they do without incident. Also, millions live here untouched by serious crime which occurs mostly in disadvantaged areas. Crime is a scourge but the statistics can make it seem worst that it actually is.
