Nigerians read lies and believe them

The lies this people tell

zhike:
Because of her previous illegal status in South Africa, she is not suppose to enter South Africa in 5 years time

Yes she was denied visa but like a typical Nigerian she found creative ways to enter illegally

Apcshit:
You are so foolish and full of shit

See when issues you’re told that you need to respect the laws of other countries you become angry, you have sense of entitlement to illegality and criminality in other countries, when addressed you use words like xenophobia, racism or jealous instead of looking in the mirror and condemn the bad behaviour within

Mattswaggz:
Go and ask the person that said all those gibberish you're talking about up there that question because I don't know what you're talking about.

You always run away from addressing real issues of Nigerians invading other countries illegally and their involvement in criminality especially drugs

Mattswaggz:
SA could face the ripple effects of how they've been treating other Africans recently and the image they've projected of themselves to other African countries soon enough....this is a country that Africans rallied behind and gave them all forms of supports during apartheid and this is how they chose to pay them back while turning a blind eye to what could be regarded as the real threat (the whites) controlling most of the critical infrastructures and economy in their so called "country" .

Nonetheless....provided this protest is a peaceful one,then there is nothing wrong with it....at least they have the courage to demand what they want those they elected into office to do unlike a certain west African country that's been declining at an alarming rate....in all thy doings, do things in the right way and remember that there is tomorrow and in that tomorrow,the tables could turn.

So South Africans should ignore the mass invasion of illegal foreigners in their country and the element of criminality especially drug trade from Nigerians ? You want them to run away and be burden in other countries like Nigerians?

You forgot to mention that Nigerians where throwing stones from roof tops trying to provoke them because once it becomes violent it diverts from the main issue which is a protest against illegal foreigners and criminality especially drugs amongst Nigerians.South Africans disappointed them by being peaceful now they can’t claim victims while being illegal and selling drugs in South Africa

As Africans we do not want to address the issue of mass invasion of illegal foreigners in South Africa because is xenophobia , let’s not talk about the criminal element within foreigners because is xenophobia, lets not address the issue of foreigners burdening the public healthcare and public education because is xenophobia. Actually let’s blame South Africa for our people being illegal in South Africa. Actually there is no foreigner in Africa, South Africa should be borderless to all African countries while our countries are managed by immigration law. I guess South Africa is indeed xenophobic.#take accountability not blame South Africans for demanding law to be enforced

dammie4j:
Are this guys still on this lady's matter. Very unnecessary and hateful. Smh

So South Africa should ignore the Fraud and illegality around her immigration status. Worst part they denied her visa , how do she sneak it from Nigeria.

So drug dealers are called business men? This guy was a known drug dealer, am surprised he is not in jail because he was arrested for drug possession somewhere last year by Xolani on Sizokthola show. He is also part of the cult I think they call the self or something

Nigerians always believing every story on social media . That is a classroom sketch from training centre.

Botswana has drawn a hard line ahead of South Africa’s 30 June anti-immigrant deadline, stating it will not offer refuge to foreigners fleeing potential xenophobic violence and will instead assist them to return to their countries of origin.

No Refuge Status, Says Labour Minister:
In an interview with the Botswana Gazette, Minister of Labour and Home Affairs Major General (Rtd) Pius Mokgware said Botswana was monitoring developments across the border but had not yet seen unusual movement.

“Botswana remains prepared for any potential spillover effects arising from renewed threats of violence in South Africa ahead of a controversial June 30 deadline being pushed by anti-immigrant groups demanding that undocumented foreign nationals leave the country,” Mokgware said.

He stressed the government’s legal position: “Such individuals would not automatically qualify as refugees because they are not fleeing persecution from their countries of origin as defined under international refugee law”.

Assisted Return, Not Asylum:
Mokgware said Botswana’s policy is clear. “Those crossing into Botswana for refuge will not be treated as refugees but assisted to return to their countries of origin”.

If faced with requests for entry, the country would “facilitate the safe return of affected individuals to their respective home countries if they attempted to use Botswana as a temporary safe haven”.

The Minister added that at this stage there has been “no increase in visa applications or entries through our border posts”.

International Law Still Applies
Despite the firm stance, Mokgware stressed Botswana will not abandon its legal obligations. “We will continue to respect international legal frameworks and ensure that any persons affected are treated humanely and with dignity”.

Botswana hosts about 760 refugees and asylum-seekers at the Dukwi Refugee Camp and has renewed commitments to refugee support at recent World Refugee Day events.

Local Anxiety Over Spillover:
The remarks come as undocumented migrant campaigns intensify in South Africa, with the “March and March” movement demanding undocumented foreigners leave by 30 June. Analysts warn large-scale unrest could trigger population movements and pressure border systems across Southern Africa.

Many Batswana share the minister’s concerns about capacity. Botswana is already grappling with undocumented migration, mainly from Zimbabwe, amid “economic headwinds and growing demands for jobs and social services from citizens”. Citizens fear a sudden influx could strain jobs, housing, public services and border security.

Regional Response:
Botswana’s position mirrors moves by Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria and Ghana, which have started repatriating citizens from SA due to safety fears. The 30 June deadline has prompted several governments to step up contingency planning.

For now, Mokgware said “there is no cause for alarm, but insist that contingency plans remain in place should the situation deteriorate in the coming weeks”.

Ewedegubbler:
Come 30th. we will remove all SA strippers from the clubs and all the SA prostitutes hiding in hotels and guest houses allover Nigera.

South Africans dnt go to s**tholes to be parasites, we travel legally and to contribute not to be social and economic burden like you.

mickyeddi:
So you haven't seen videos of legal African migrants being beaten by those jobless alcoholic inbreds?

I see you believe in fake videos online, the only Nigerian removed he was selling clothes in the streets with big sign that says no hawkers allowed on visitors vis, other videos they where found dealing in drugs. You guys are consuming propaganda videos . Are you even gonna address that most of those Nigerians are on visiting visas and are demanding to run informal businesses in South Africa without permits

BigYash:
So you forgot those who were earning a living legally,that you humiliated? Some of the people you destroyed their shops and stole their goods? What about that guy driving a truck that you killed? The woman selling food that you bought food from,when she asked for her money,you brought out gun and killed her?

I see you believe in fake videos online, the only Nigerian removed he was selling clothes in the streets with big sign that says no hawkers allowed on visitors vis, other videos they where found dealing in drugs. You guys are consuming propaganda videos

BigYash:
Which job? Anyways chasing fellow Africans from their country is actually a job.

So asking people to be legal and respect the law or go home is a bad thing to you? Or is called forcing people to be responsible not parasites in another country

Arrowhead71:
Are you people really expecting the people you treated with much hate to have your time or not to hate you in return

So asking people to Be legal and respect the law or leave the country is considered hate in Nigeria?so much entertainment to illegality and criminality in another country

RandDigital:
The best South won!😅 Bring on Canada...

They won’t comment but had bafana lose they would comment. Jealousy is deep

Get your facts first, is mostly Nigerians and Zimbabweans who used fraudulent South African passports

A Nigerian mother and her three sons, who fled from South Africa to Ireland after lying about an alleged attack by a gun-wielding gang, were deported to South Africa.

However, South African Home Affairs Minister Dr Leon Schreiber revealed that they were “immediately” sent to Nigeria after landing on South African shores on February 26.

In a recent parliamentary response on the case, which sparked a protest and grabbed headlines in Ireland.

Stephen Kirwan, partner and head of immigration at KOD Lyons, who represented the family in Ireland, said Titilayo Oluwakemi Oyekanmi and her three sons, aged five to eighteen, were deported from Ireland after their asylum application and subsequent appeal were refused.

The family travelled to Ireland from South Africa in late 2023.

Oyekanmi, who is originally from Nigeria, sought asylum in Ireland after allegedly being beaten by a gang and threatened at gunpoint. A deportation order was issued in April 2025.

Kirwan then applied for the order to be revoked on humanitarian grounds.

“The case has gained attention partly because of the family’s strong ties to their community. The eldest son, Samuel, was preparing for his Leaving Cert at Ballinteer Community School. Joseph, aged 14, was attending Gonzaga College on a scholarship. The youngest, Genesis, is five years old. All three attended local schools and sports clubs,” said Kirwan in a statement posted on their website.

Neighbours, students, parents and teachers from the boys’ schools protested ahead of the deportation.

Kirwan said the community’s support was “something I’ve never seen before.”

However, the protest and appeal failed, and the mother and her sons were deported.

The status of their legal status in South Africa and the authenticity of their South African identity documents were not released by Schreiber or the Irish authorities.

Schreiber said the family was taken to Lindela Holding Facility upon their arrival at OR Tambo International Airport.

“The Nigerian Embassy identified and issued travel documents, and they were returned to Nigeria within 72 hours of their arrival,” he said.

He said that no information on the criminal history of the deportees was shared by Irish authorities.

In a press statement earlier this year, Ireland’s Justice, Home Affairs and Migration Minister, Jim O’Callaghan, said the South Africans were in the country illegally, and ten of them had criminal convictions for domestic violence and drug-related offences.

Under Irish immigration law, if an asylum application is refused and all appeals through the International Protection Appeals Tribunal (IPAT) are exhausted, the Minister for Justice may issue a deportation order. Before this happens, individuals are usually offered voluntary return assistance.

A deportation order can be reviewed or revoked under Section 3(11) of the Immigration Act 1999 if circumstances have changed, such as children being enrolled in Irish schools, strong community ties, or changes in conditions in the country of origin.

Last month, the South African Constitutional Court last month ruled that a person cannot submit a new asylum application once their original application has been finally decided.

Let’s stop hiding behind slogans.
Let’s stop outsourcing accountability.
And let’s stop pretending this is a uniquely South African disease.
Because it isn’t.
This Is Not Just South Africa
From informal crackdowns in Kenya, to trader tensions in Ghana, to labour resentment in
Malawi, to periodic expulsions and border frictions across the continent, Africa has a
migration problem it refuses to name honestly.
Not because Africans hate Africans.
But because African states are failing Africans.

And when states fail, pressure doesn’t disappear, it moves.
It crosses borders.
It shows up in townships, clinics, classrooms, and labour markets.
And then we call the explosion “xenophobia” as if that explains anything.
The Lie We Tell: “It’s Just Hatred”
No. It’s not just hatred.
It is pressure without policy.
It is solidarity without structure.
It is Pan-African rhetoric with zero implementation.

And most dangerously, it is silence where there should be policy.
Let’s Talk About What We’re Avoiding

1. Undocumented Migration :The Taboo
We cannot build unity on illegality.
People are moving across borders without documentation, without tracking, without
integration systems.
That is not a moral judgment, it is a governance failure.
You cannot run a modern state any state without knowing:

• Who is entering
• Why they are there
• How long they stay
• What systems they are using
Ignoring this does not make us Pan-African.
It makes us administratively blind.

1. Schools The Silent Pressure Point:
South Africa’s classrooms are already stretched.
Now add:
• Unplanned population inflows
• No proportional fiscal transfers
• No regional education burden-sharing
And we pretend this is sustainable?
Who pays? The South African taxpayer.
Who plans? No one.
This is not xenophobia. This is a policy vacuum.

2. Hospitals Compassion Without Capacity
Healthcare cannot run on goodwill alone.
Clinics are overwhelmed. Waiting times stretch. Resources thin.
Yet we refuse to have an adult conversation about:

• Cross-border health funding
• SADC-level health agreements
• Cost-sharing mechanisms
So what happens?
Resentment fills the gap where policy should be.

3. Labour The Hypocrisy Nobody Wants to Touch
Let’s be honest brutally honest.
Who hires undocumented migrants?
South Africans.
For:

• Gardening
• Domestic work
• Waiting tables
• Informal retail

Why?
Because they are cheaper.
Because they are more vulnerable.
Because they can be exploited.
So let’s stop the performance.

You cannot:
• Exploit cheap labour
• Undercut wages
• Ignore labour laws
…and then pretend the problem is “foreigners.”

That is not xenophobia.
That is an economic system built on exploitation.
The Question Nobody Wants to Ask Other African States
Here is the uncomfortable truth:
Migration is often not about opportunity.
It is about escape.
So we must ask, directly, not diplomatically:
What is happening in:
• Zimbabwe
• Nigeria
• Ethiopia
• Somalia
• DRC
• Malawi
that pushes people out at scale?
Corruption.
Governance collapse.
Elite capture.
Broken economic systems.
You cannot demand open borders while exporting instability.
Pan-Africanism cannot be built on one country absorbing the consequences of another
country’s failures.
African Unity Or African Evasion?
We love the language of unity.
“Borders must fall.”
“Africa must be one.”
But unity is not poetry.
It is policy.
Real African Unity would mean:
• Labour mobility agreements
• Skills recognition frameworks
• Shared tax contributions
• Cross-border social service funding
• Enforcement of labour protections
• Coordinated migration systems
Right now, we have none of that.
So what we call “unity” is actually unmanaged movement.
And unmanaged movement always becomes conflict.
The Skills Debate Let’s Be Serious
To say South Africans lack skills while migrants fill low-wage roles is intellectually lazy.
These are not scarce skills sectors.
They are:
• Underpaid
• Informal
• Unregulated
• Exploitative
The real issue is not skills.
It is wage suppression.
It is labour arbitrage.
It is a race to the bottom.
Crime, Impunity, and the Line We Must Draw
Another uncomfortable truth:
Communities have the right to safety.
Stopping:
• Drug networks
• Violent crime
• Lawlessness
is not xenophobia.
It is governance.
But here is the line we must not cross:
Criminality must be addressed as criminality, not nationality.
Otherwise we collapse into mob justice, and everyone loses.
So What Is the Real Problem?
Not xenophobia.
Systemic failure across multiple African states and the absence of a continental response.
What Must Be Said Clearly
• South Africans are not wrong to ask questions about pressure on public services
• Migrants are not wrong to seek survival and dignity
• Employers are complicit in exploitation
• Governments across Africa are failing to coordinate
Everyone is telling half the truth.
And half-truths are what keep the crisis alive.
The Real Conversation We Need
If we are serious about African Unity, then we must be serious about:

1. Fixing governance in every African country
2. Creating legal, structured migration systems
3. Protecting workers all workers from exploitation
4. Sharing the cost of public services regionally
5. Building economies that people do not need to flee
Final Provocation

You cannot insult South Africans into silence.

You cannot shame migrants into invisibility.

And you cannot build unity on denial.

If Africa wants open borders, then Africa must build functional states.
Until then, what we are seeing is not xenophobia.
It is the collision between human survival and political failure.
And that conversation is long overdue.

TRIPOLI - Hundreds of Libyans gathered outside the UN refugee agency headquarters in Tripoli on Thursday to protest against irregular migrants and refugees they say should leave Libya.
Demonstrators chanted "Libya belongs to Libyans" among other chants and called for the closure of the UNHCR headquarters in the capital.
They accused the UN agency of seeking to settle irregular migrants in the North African country.
Protesters were seen holding signs reading: "Our love for our country is not racism" and "Libya is not the world's garbage bin".
Libya is a key departure point for irregular migrants seeking to reach Europe by crossing the Mediterranean.
As of mid-2024, the International Organization for Migration estimated that around 900,000 migrants and refugees were living in Libya.
Many of them are Sudanese refugees who have fled war in their home country.
The UN mission in Libya on Monday warned against a "renewed spread of misinformation, disinformation, and inflammatory rhetoric" which it said was "targeting individuals or specific groups".
The mission called on authorities to "address acts of incitement and the dissemination of harmful false information that may threaten public order, social cohesion, or the rights and dignity of individuals".

A South African human rights organization, the Southern Africa Litigation Centre (SALC), has launched a legal challenge against the South African government over its approval of arms exports to the United States.

The case, filed in the High Court, argues that the National Conventional Arms Control Committee (NCACC) failed to properly assess whether South African-made weapons could contribute to human rights abuses, armed conflict, or violations of international law. South African legislation requires authorities to consider these risks before approving military exports.

SALC contends that ongoing international concerns regarding the use of weapons in global conflicts make such assessments particularly important. The organization is seeking a court review of the export permits and wants the approvals suspended pending the outcome of the case.

The lawsuit is notable because it targets arms exports to the United States, a major global military power and one of South Africa’s defence industry customers. The case could have significant implications for South Africa’s arms export policies, international obligations, and defence trade relationships.

The South African government and the NCACC are expected to defend their decisions in court. The outcome may help clarify how South Africa balances economic interests with its legal and human rights commitments when approving arms exports.

This one will never post anything positive about Nigeria...


Just surfing the Internet looking for negative news about Nigeria to post.

Just take a look at the topics on your profile. It looks almost like obsession. Hide my own let's talk about your own.



The sad and shameful part is that it's still Nigerians that will come here to criticize themselves and point fingers at each other!

So Nigerians doing crimes in South Africa should not be reported? Show me any good contribution their doing in South Africa apart from illegality and criminality then I will post

NIGERIAN DRUG DEALER BUSTED IN BALFOUR — 300 MANDRAX TABLETS AND CRYSTAL METH FOUND HIDDEN IN BED BASE

A 34-year-old Nigerian national was arrested in Balfour on Monday, 26 May 2026, after police uncovered a stash of drugs hidden inside a bed base during a search operation.

Members of the Crime Prevention Unit acted on a tip-off about a foreign national allegedly selling drugs in the area. Officers traced the suspect to a specific address, where they requested permission to search the property.

During the search of a bedroom, police found 300 Mandrax tablets and a bag of Crystal Meth concealed underneath a mattress inside the bed base.

The suspect was arrested on the spot on charges linked to drug dealing and is expected to appear before the Balfour Magistrate's Court on 27 May 2026.

The South African Police Service has called on community members to keep reporting suspicious activity, saying public cooperation is key to fighting crime and drug dealing in residential areas.

Nigerians are still celebrating Arsenal, they have an European refugee mentality

False he was fighting to evacuate a Somalian shop owner who hijacked the land from elderly woman, the Somali the went to court and lost the case , in return the Somali hired armed hit man to target this community activist. Seems like this criminals are putting every legit complain as xenophobia as a way of getting away with illegality and criminality in South Africa

Only 1 Ghanaian showed , their refusing to go. They would rather take the risk of staying illegally and undocumented in South Africa than go home.

It seems like there is no law and order in Nigeria. They go around the world without proper documentation and breaking laws in other countries and play fail when they get caught.Nigerians needs to stop being global run away parasites and behave. How can it be that every country complains about the behaviour of Nigerians.
