Where did I ever say anything about allowing Nigerians in? You are arguing with yourself at this point. Because I literally just stated two consecutive times that South Africa should institute a Nigerian ban, so what exactly is your argument here? Because we have seen your country men defend their own when it comes to crimes and literally blame it on foreigners (like the woman who sold her own child, claiming Nigerians kidnapped her). So why don’t we as citizens deviate from throwing stones at each other and give each other space? Hope this helps out with any imaginary argument you are having with yourself. There are millions of Nigerians who will as things stand today support an FG restrictions of travel to SA.

what about AKA killers? Who is your people? Try dey quote with sense

Dear Commentator I dare say If being "there" makes you blind to your own backyard's bloodstains, then geography isn’t your strength—it's your excuse. Silence in the face of violence is complicity, not wisdom.

ZoomTravels:
Not a single one, hence why I support deporting the bulk of them except for the diplomats of course. But South Africans making their country seem like the safest in Africa is just a joke.

WriterX:
It’s misleading to say “nobody’s attacking your people.” South Africa has a long, documented history of xenophobic attacks—especially targeting Nigerians. In 2008, over 60 people were killed in anti-immigrant riots. In 2015, seven more died in similar violence. These are facts, not speculation.

In 2019, shops owned by Nigerians were looted in Johannesburg, and in some cases, Nigerians were beaten or burned alive. Groups like Operation Dudula have publicly campaigned to remove foreigners, often violently, while police have been accused of either watching or participating in these abuses.

Human Rights Watch and other international bodies have published reports confirming these patterns of violence and systemic discrimination. This is not just fear—it’s reality.

Saying South Africans “avoid the CBD because of foreigners” only proves the atmosphere of tension and scapegoating. Nigerians don’t feel safe in many areas because past attacks have gone unpunished, and early warning systems agreed between both governments have failed.

This isn’t about “feeling outnumbered”—it’s about actual bloodshed and intimidation that authorities have failed to stop. These aren't rumors.

They're recorded events backed by deaths, arrests, and global concern. Ignoring them is part of the problem. So no, I won't stop the cap! Lets talk Facts

Lorayne:
I understand.

You really need to do something about your borders.

It's just sometimes very painful to see the hate for Nigerians online that you'll think every Nigerian that has migrated is into crime.

They will not get justice
Even lucky dube never get justice till date
South Africa no be country

No sane human being should be travelling to South Africa or USA
Wey guns full everywhere

WriterX:
This is quite painful.


How mny more Nigerians have to die on South African soil before someone calls this what it really is? How long can we pretend this is a string of isolated incidents and ot part of a systemic failure—or worse, a coordinated silence around the brutalization of Africans by Africans?

It’s not enough for South African police to “launch investigations” after the fact. The bigger question is: Where are they when the violence starts? Why do these so-called investigations always begin after a Nigerian is lynched, shot, or mysteriously disappears? Who exactly are they protecting—citizens or syndicates?

Over the years, South Africa has built a dangerous reputation. Nigerians, Zimbabweans, Mozambicans—many of them legal immigrants—have been attacked in broad daylight. Their shopsburned. Their lives threatened. Their dignit stripped. And in many of these instances, police are either suspiciously absent, slow to act, or accused of outright complicity.

Let’s talk about the “early warning mechanisms” that were agreed upon between Nigeria and South Africa after previous waves of xenophobic attacks.

What happened to those? Why haven’t they been implemented? Why does it seem like each agreement is just a PR stunt to pacify outrage until the next tragedy hits?

If South Africa has committed to protecting immigrants, why does the violence continue—and escalate? Is thisd a failure of law enforcement, or an intentional blind eye? Are elements within the police force silently backing the mobs? Worse stil are there criminal syndicaates that have infiltrated state structures, targeting immigrants under the pretense of “Drug crackdowns” or “anti-crime operations”?

These questions aren't conspiratorial—they're grounded in years of patterns. Patterns where Nigerian-owned businesses are looted. Patterns where unprovoked attacks on foreigners are shrugged off as “community anger.” Patterns where state silence is louder than any condemnation.

The Nigerian government, through NIDCOM and the Ministry of Foreignm Affairs, has offered condolences and called for calm. But condolences don’t bring justice. Condolences don’t deter the next attack. If South Africa wants to claim any moral credibility, then its institutions—especially its police—must show they are not part of the problem.

Lorayne:
Obviously none. You don't need outsiders to add to your problems.

I don’t know much about what’s going on in South Africa, but I’m hoping you can help clarify something for me.

When it comes to crimes committed by immigrants in South Africa, is it true that Nigerians are responsible for the most? Are there actually more Nigerians involved in illegal activities than those doing positive things?

I understand that people often get judged by the bad things others in their community do, rather than the good, but do you honestly believe that most Nigerians living in South Africa are involved in crime?

I’m asking out of genuine curiosity and have no other motive. Please feel free to ignore this if it’s something you’d prefer not to respond to.

Ironfaceman:
Black southafricans are very myopic. May be because they now lick white man's ass so they think they are better people.

ZoomTravels:
While I sit on the side of the fence that says “deport 97% of Nigerians in SA”. South Africans talking about their country as if it’s one safe place will never cease to amaze me.

jubrilELsudan:
I HAVE LIVED IN SOUTH AFRICA SINCE YEAR 2000 AND I WILL KEEP SAYING IT THAT SOUTH AFRICANS DON'T KILL NIGERIANS

KLEINBASS:

ediko5:
I believe it's their usual cult war for supremacy in SA

Mirasteel:
Thank God you agreed that you black south africans are criminal elements in your country. that's all what I wanted to hear. 😎

Lionessza6:


So there were no black Universities and colleges in South Africa prior and during Apartheid?

And there were no SA who were studying outside of SA during the same period ?

You seem more interested in speculation and playing a guessing Game than coming at me with verifiable information.

I don't doubt that they'd be more Nigerian success stories in some endeavors than SAns but saying Nigerians are overall more Successful than SAns is absurd

We have more black dollar millionaires for instance than Nigerians and an even bigger middle class than you. You'd probably have more scientists for instance.

The Yoruba and Igbo are doing by far better all over the world than South African groups, however they are also larger in population. South African ethnic groups are almost none existent in North America, Europe and etc. It is like comparing South Africans to the Lebanese or Jews. I mean south African blacks though not the Boer.

Mirasteel:
That's because you black South Africans do the criminality in your country. the last time I checked Johannesburg is the most dangerous city in Africa and all crimes are perpetrated by black south Africans.

JaceBlaze:
He not bad at all.My first hearing about him.

JaceBlaze:
They both dudula'd the track.

A-Reece should've had the opening verse because SA did it first🤐🤐😁😁😁

You must get a passport very soon and transport yourself into the real world. Life on the internet is skewing your reality for real to accept words from Baba go slow who half the time was pretty much senile in his utterances.

seppuku:
[b]Travel to the UK [/b]and go experience the disdain the citizens have there for Nigerians and comeback to report instead of sitting in front of that computer screen of yours using sensational headlines to justify your countries Xenophobia for Africans.

Have you ever been to the UK. I really doubt it?
