You smoke igbooo when you accept the appointment before.

I saw nothing wrong in accepting the appointment, standing your ground and decision, and ultimately contributing your quota to nation building in practice and not from the sidelines as a critic.

Eff up..

Na so Maradona do Tai Solarin and Soyinka that year...People's Bank and FRSC respectively...

what quota is he going there to contribute , people who promised to contribute their own quota all this years which side are they now, the seun narrowly lost the respect Nigerians gave him and even with his change of mind he still has to prove if he is loyal to the pple he is like Brother Charlie boy loyal to his pocket (gvt) lol I nor go commot for charlie boy case cos na one of the problem wey the citizens of this country get be that

ChasteGhuy:
I believe you

Mutual trust

he should not have taken welcomed the idea at first

Who really cares about some silly allegation? For all we care BudgIT has been doing a good job in the last couple of years, scrutinising budgets and exposing anomalies which have typically been inserted deliberately by criminal to steal our collective patrimony.

BudgIT does not have any control over preparation of the budget, they only expose flaws, to the benefit of all Nigerians. So tell me, why exactly should any right minded Nigerian (who is not a thief in govt) give a damn about ownership of BudgIT?... Even if it's owned by lucifer himself, who cares?

I agree 100% but y would he accept a govt job if he is revealing those flaws in the budget for the right reason, I strongly believe that if he goes in there to dine with the gvt in the name of he is going there to make a change in the way budget is prepared when he gets there rather than helping us he would join them do us harm, if budgetit is meant for a just course he should stick to it for our sake plus if is looking for an alternative to make money he should delve into business alongside don't come and pull Challie Boy stunt on us

why the sudden sue for peace I am anxious there must be a reason which I certainly intend to know

e better like this but hope say the source of your wealth no get dirt sha
cos Mr Obi do fall people hand

at the end of the day they go still order new cars worth billions of naira and share billions among themselves in the same country were an average Nigerian provides variably everything the gvt needs to provide for themselves all bills on tax payers money and to make the matter worse it has extended to VAT we are done for in this country, instead make them begin shut down government offices with protest demand for answers and counter them with cutting cost if they shift the reason on gvt sustainability no o but if na Bisola and pastor Krest case the protest go long from NiG reach Zimbabwe

Human right radio Brekete family needs to hear about this, it our right and duty to pay tax but when it is taken too far it would make life uneasy

just imagine this VAT would affect as little as young kids just imagine 20 or 50 naira sweet hiked to 30 or 60 or even more

For students custard paint rubber that is 1400 just imagine it being hiked to 1600

for families out there that are struggling to feed they no go chop belle full again

I dey talk na because I be student and e go affect me na (VAT) value added tax charged on goods we dey talk from 5 whatever to 7 haba e too much o

there is a reason y people are living but if dem give naija chance in a year you would be surprised how over populated that village would look, but left to me I think it looks like Columbia and drug prone area

You think SA is an angry nation? come to Nigeria. SA is not an Angry nation ma, SA is a Wicked Nation

I agree with u

godwinkessi:
This people are taking advantage of us not having a president to play with The Giant of Africa!

Also I’m thinking it’s old and unexposed people that controls the presidential media group!

I don’t think any of this news gets to anybody at all in the Aso rock. And mostly they don’t watch news casters on their TVs but Nat Geo Wild

their fav must be Dr pol

Kanade21:
No, it should not happen for the following reasons

1.Governments past and present have a poor track record of managing businesses.

2.It drives away investors. Which investor is going to come and invest in a country where his or her business would be taken over by the government without so much as an 'if you please'

3.It's going to cost the government billions in legal fees. (See the recent government study on the billions it would cost just to buy back power distribution companies without ending in the courts.).

4.Massive job losses.

Sorry, but nationalization does not work these days. Maybe back in the 1970's when the economy was less global. Not now.

Nationalize and give it to private firms

SayginSA:
if your government stop preventing MTN from exiting Nigeria,with their listing of NSE-you will get used to not having 3G . Just like you are used to not having electricity and depending of generators. Without MTN SA,your telecom infrastructure will lack even behind than currently. In SA cheap phones have 24/7 4G network,even in deep rural areas.

there are up 3 standard network providers in Nigeria that could provide 3g and at the moment we have 4g already brought in by Airtel bottom line is some major network providers in Ng are waiting for Mtn to bounce out so they could take their spot and compete favourably well in Nigeria the only issue is that Mtn has many subscribers down here that is the only advantage they have over others, if Mtn bounces give Nigerians less than a week and watch people switch network ASAP surprise all other networks are mainly 3g providers except airtel

Holocene:
Not really, the truth is that the black man hates his neighbour and this can be seen even within our local tribes. Within the local ibos and yoruba communities, they still have hatred for others from different clans in the same village.

the only hate between Yoruba and Igbo's only exist on social media and bigger cities but in villages town, small cities the coexistence is commendable buy as I said before bigger cities and social media is a no no, both only come together when it is about matters of common interest

Black foreigners should leave SA. Is it by force to remain in SA. If it were developed countries they would have made arrangement to evacuate their citizens but African countries government know their country people don't want to leave SA.

I am starting to have a reset of thought concerning this SA xeno issue, I think all black Africans should gather their family and leave if they have any

Nigerians should not pay them back with their own coin, but instead coexist with them, love them stop burning their businesses or properties, avoid maiming or killing

Let leave the government of the day to do his job , if he doesn't let's hold him responsible and hope in coming government would know what to do

Let sit and watch how it plays out at the end of the day peace

iCauseTrouble:
Thought Buhari's delegates have met with Ramaphosa

Buhari is that one a president at all but they sent an envoy before and the only thing their envoy could achieve was to cone back and tell us via liar Mohammed that no Nigerian was killed, its clear they don't take him and other African countries seriously to make the matter worse SA government are backing them up besides this zulu leader would come out to fuel issue, how is it my concern I don't live there no have FAM there

But some south Africans are about to stamp that hate syndrome on SA as a whole plus giving the country a bad reputation

QDubz:
Quit all this frustrating questions and all
Nigerian females have terrible communication skills!!!
.... But as a guy if you must chat with them online for the first time, don't ask questions like an FBI agent
Master the art of insinuation!.
Ladies gets lots of hellos and hi's, you have to break the pattern to get her attention, and you have just seconds to do that...
And when you get that attention you have to hold it till she gets comfortable with you, then you can start asking all this yeye questions!!

I concur, when they get comfortable even silly questions becomes a topic she would use as the foundation of further conversation

XhosaNostra:
That I'd say happened only one time. My friend's brother went around telling people that he had sex with me. I was shocked because he never showed any interest in me before that. He only got weird with me afterwards. But that was a once off thing. If others are saying it, it never reached me.

most guys who can't walk up to girls often say such it's a common thing among some guys

MyVILLAGEpeople:
And Oga Lai Mohammed said no Nigerian was killed.

We don't have a proactive government.

I know some people from the skull mining region will be happy with this news.

sense has departed your brain, person die u dey name call your common sense no common

MelesZenawi:
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?

I wish this article could be investigated and used for studies and future references

Above all whether few or so few no Nigerian should have participated or participate in any form of illegal businesses, stay clean, continue to hustle and make it big, you don't have to struggle in the slums with nationals of your host country

But the issue of being loud it is a Nigerian thing we are loud, I believe nothing could be done about it

one day breeze go blow fowl nyansh go open

stereotyping all Nigerians is evil and it must be condemned, you don't judge majority based on nay say or by the action of a handful of some unscrupulous Nigerians

we love foreigners such love should be reciprocated

Bobby wey Ike don see, press like say na ripe orange abi toto wey he go don touch during their romance section nahin she wan begin hide again haba, girls? na so them dey behave it is their nature watin person don see before, chop wella all of a sudden dem go turn the private mode on then off and on again I no know whether na weather dey affect their thought sometimes

Stevecovey:
Enjoying to travel is not an excuse for MASS MIGRATION into another country.

Mass migration is a problem. And in all societies, it is always met with violence. Because it is seen as a threat to survival. ALWAYS. Since the days of Moses till now. This has to do wt natural human instincts. Survival instinct will win over Rationality any day. Educated Germans burnt Jews in ovens. So all this back & forth ur having means nothing.

Forget drug crime, or southafricans talking about unemployment .etc. (those are legitimate concerns). However, this mass migration is THE MAIN PROBLEM. And their opposition to it is very natural.

do you know about Canada, despite high migration though encouraged by their government I think but still their people hardly complain a concrete reason for that still boils down to tolerance

kgr28:
Ok.....you made a good point. But the majority of your people here are problem.

then pressurize the government to move them out to ensure peace

MPSA:
If you're happy with all this Conflicts between Migrants and South African Migrants time and again, Good For You,
Innocent Migrants are dying because of the hate towards them in Most of the time, If you're Happy About That, Good For You,

Peace Of Mind
If I don't see this Killings of Migrants each and every time, My Mind will Rest,
When African People Cry all over the Continent because of Xenophobic! My Mind Don't Rest , If you're happy, Good for You.

Space

According to the Killings of Migrants time and again, I Believe this Murderers don't need them, Which is True, You can't attack people that you love the most time and again

Reason for all this poooo0
It might happen we spent a lot of our time without our African Brothers, It might happen we need time to recover, Which is fair ,If you see it in order way Round, Good for you,

then it simple the SAs shouldn't go after Nigerians all they need do is pressure the government to evacuate Nigs living there so u guys could recover, the government can do it no need of making their life a hell

kgr28:
Yes we are grateful. And you lot come here and you also benefit from white sweat. If S.A. was a jungle would you be here? My bet is whole lot of nigerians relocate to better countries than ng.

see something about Nigerians is that even if the country is better it won't change a thing most Nigerians travel a lot Nigerians are everywhere even if a Nigerian is doing so fine at home they still travel or better still migrate its not all about oh their country is better I am going there to stay it's not all about that, I have a uncle who worked with a huge company over here earning so well living comfortable but traveled to further his education in the UK because he was academically sound he was retained to work with a company you would know if I tell you and he chose to stay

it doesn't mean he is there because of other people sweat he is there because he is an explorer and wants to grow he doesn't want to remain in one location because it feels convenient and safe, forget it even if the country gets better than this we would still travel out

even if south Africa is a jungle you would still see Nigerians there

kgr28:
so you don't know how many were killed and there is conspiracy to hide the truth you know a whole lot of shyt we don't and you are in ng.

keep pretending as if they never killed any but the truth is that your people always have a reason to vent against outsiders accusing them of shit and go about what they like doing I wish you guys the spirit of true recovery, tolerance and the act of being civil

MrBrownJay1:
Bro, you are right about that, but as I said earlier, unless we are honest on this issue, we won't go anywhere.... jungle justice and tribalism is an African way of life, that is well used in Nigeria too...the difference here is that it's towards INNOCENT PEOPLE

the innocent people are the reason why Nigerians are complaining had it being the criminals among Nig over there who has that time to support their wrong doing

kgr28:
And your point I bet you if white had stayed in ng and developed it wouldn't you be happy and take claim how developed ng is. You still crying for whites left ng. You people took over and your country still looks like the 1818's.

Shu Buhariiii !!! come and see what u have caused

bottom line they are grateful that the white developed their country to their taste and relegated them to the bottom of the food chain and they see nothing wrong with that but instead they keep fighting with their fellow Africans brothers who contributed to their liberation during apartheid with their money, sweat, resources and voice calling them all of them drug peddlers, women snatchers , job stealers as if there is a job that as a name tag on it

kgr28:
How many were killed? Answer.

How many where killed? previous ones were documented that doesn't mean they didn't kill during this recent attacks angry average south Africans see killing as a piece of cake it's their thing their ways that is the only way they understand to vent their anger, though the government here are busy saying there is no record of death but we know they are lying this is not their first, if the government could be silent over outsiders killing Nigerians in their country because he is from their tribe what do anyone expect us to think

the fact still remains people must have died but they are just covering it up to suppress further aggression

MrBrownJay1:
You think it is that easy to eradicate a drug syndicate?! NO gov in the world has succeeded so far...NONE!!!

I agree but still jungle justice is not right at all

kgr28:
Odolo. I Don't give a shyt who killed who. Again you all claom we killed people, so tell me who are they and how many were killed. Legitimate businesses? Fucccking he'll no. Businesses that don't pay taxes, and no registered?? They illegal informal businesses. Selling pirated cds is legitimate business? Fotsek mahn

you talk from both sides of your mouth and it seems you are one of those who act before they think and even if they do no rumours it is hopeless arguing further with you, but remember one thing how would you feel if you bro or sis was senselessly killed by some miscreants I would love to think you would be happy and relaxed

MrBrownJay1:
Nice dream...now let us ALL be real for a minute on this issue.



Trying to change the issue ad point fingers at other issues, when we ALL know that the biggest drug syndicate in SA are Nigerians, is far fetched. At least let's be real, we ALL know that many Nigerians deal drugs in SA, but this should not be the reason for South Africans to go after ANY Nigerians.

Sadly, South Africans use this small Percentage of bad Nigerian/African apple to blame all black foreigners in SA.

If truly Nigerians are the biggest drug syndicates over there the government and it agencies should be held responsible to do their job track them, have them down, have them arrested punished according to SA laws and let Nigerians who are legit go about their life and if there are Nigerians without proper documentation have them ditched out and deported, Nobody has the right to kill anybody in the name of anger or whatever

kgr28:
Yes I hate you fuckiiiing maggots. You need to be wiped out from the face of earth. You fuckkking bad reputation wherever you go. Now you wanna act like sissies and pussy and crus like babies you derseve everything that comes to you.

Did you learn that a Tanzanian drug dealer was responsible for the death of that taxi driver, this was a confession of two eye witness of that incident but it so sadden that people like you turned the narrative around and used it as a reason to kill and burn shops owned by Nigerians who run legitimate businesses, this shows that you guys are intolerant, jealous and lazy I learnt from your people history that there was a time when Nigerians were not this much in your country then when your government fails you guys, you kill one another and now that other Africans are in your country especially Nigerians and they are not lazy like you guys you became jealous and turn against them, besides you talk with so much hate you could actually kill if given the chance
