A cross section of Nigerians living in South Africa narrowly escaped death on Saturday during attacks on their lives and property in South Africa.
Several of them, who spoke to
SUNDAY PUNCH, relived their encounter with locals who assailed them in their apartments in various parts of Pretoria with machetes, knives, metal rods and guns.
Worried by the development, members of the House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Relations, sought more dialogue between Nigeria and the authorities in South Africa over the rising incidents.
About 100 Nigerians have been reported killed in South Africa in the last two years.
Most of the deaths resulted from violence against Nigerians by fellow black South Africans in neighbourhoods and city centres.
However, there were instances where the police clobbered defenceless Nigerians to death on suspicion of being involved in criminality.
Speaking with Sunday PUNCH in Abuja, the Chairman of the committee, Ms. Nnena Ukeje, said that there was a huge gap of lack of understanding between South Africans and their fellow black Nigerians, which must be addressed.
A boutique owner, Uchechi Okon, told SUNDAY PUNCH on Saturday that the attacks in his neighbourhood of Rosazitta Street, Pretoria West lasted from 8.30 am to 4 pm.
Okon, who has spent 10 years in South Africa, said, “Everything happened in a flash. They said they were looking for Nigerians selling drugs. I was sleeping. The next thing I heard was loud banging on the gate. The apartment I stay in one of two. My Nigerian roommate and I occupy the building in front, while the back was occupied by the family of my white landlord.
“A mob of South African women and men were forcing the gate open. We ran to the back of the premises to hide. By then, they had broken the door down and come into the compound. They said they were looking for the Nigerians that lived there, but my white landlady was shouting back that there was no Nigerian living there.
“They came with all kinds of weapons—knives, rods and so on. I heard later that they shot people in similar attacks, but I couldn’t see if they had guns. I was peeping through the window. It happened between 8.30 am and 4 pm. They went from house to house.”
He added, “When they didn’t see us, they stole all our properties and burnt my apartment with my clothes. Right now, I don’t have a passport. I don’t know whether they stole it or it got burnt down with the rest of my clothes and other belongings. I am now living in my car. The only clothes I have are the ones on my back.”
Segun Adegoke, a four-year resident in South Africa, told our correspondent that at Church and Rebecca, the attacks took place 20 metres from a police station.
Adegoke, a friend of Nigerians occupying the building, said, “Our people went to the police station. The police said they should wait for people who were in charge of the matter before they would come to their aid. Nigerians locked the gate to that apartment building called Daily Word where the looting took place.
“More than 20 apartments in that building were looted. People’s passports, TV sets, and travelling bags containing heir clothes were taken away. Police officers were on the ground when all of this took place. When they (Nigerians) locked that gate, they refused entrance of the police into the building. The exact words of the police officers were, ‘Why won’t you people go back home?’”
“A man and his wife had machete cuts on their hands. They have two kids, three and eight years old. A pastor was also attacked with machetes,” Adegoke added
The Secretary General, Nigerian Union South Africa, Adetola Olubajo, told SUNDAY PUNCH that the attacks began two weeks ago.
He said, “It all started in Johannesburg. They attacked an organised community and 29 cars were burnt down. We were there with the minister of home affairs to have a security walkabout. That subsided, then we started hearing and seeing notices that these people wanted to attack foreigners, Nigerians in particular on February 23 and 24. So, we have been telling our people to be vigilant.
“Nigerians are on the verge of fighting back, because their lives are in danger. These attackers are not here to scare anybody. They are here to kill. I have seen them strike before. Some of them (Nigerians) have kids. Their entire lives are here.”
Olubajo stated that apartments are commonly looted before being burnt down.
According to him, the attacks are carried out under the watchful eye of the police.
“Some of our people said the police were looting with them, which is what we have seen before. It is not the first time that we are seeing the police, who are supposed to be protecting us, looting with the hoodlums.

‪+234 706 277 4987‬: PART 1:
Official NYSC Camp Registration
Requirements:
1. CALL UP LETTER: This is a vital part of
camp registration and the only evidence
that you are a prospective corps member
(colloq. Corper, or Otondo) and you are
not impersonating anyone. This will be
taken from and not returned to you. So if
at all you even forget you luggage never
forget this.
Tip: Since many will choose the N4,000
option to print online, do try to use a café
with laser jet printers and not DeskJet.
Why? Documents printed with DeskJets
are more susceptible to water/moisture
damage. Just to be on a safer side and
you should do this with any document
you intend to keep for a very long time. If
you can’t find a LaserJet, use anyone.
Tip: DO NOT LAMINATE IT! And keep it
like its your life. I know someone who
was sent back because she forgot hers.
Also someone who had to beg and beg
before his letter was collected because he
laminated his own copy. So please avoid
all these stress and make enough copies
of this letter.
Tip: Remember you can REPRINT your
Call-Up letter online if subscribed
(N4,000) to that option.
2. Registration Documents: If you’re a
foreign graduate, take along the original
credentials you uploaded (to the NYSC
Portal) for physical verification /
evaluation. >> The List here
3. Green Card: It contains your bio-data.
Print and bring along your signed copy.
4. Final Year Student IDENTITY CARD
5. Notification/STATEMENT OF RESULT
from School
6. PHOTOCOPIES OF YOUR DOCUMENTS:
Now make about 10 copies of every
document required. There would be
photocopiers in camp at mammy market
but trust me, it is double the price and it
saves time.
7. PASSPORT PHOTOGRAPHS: This is very
important. Take as many as you can,
about 20 in red backgrounds. You would
need them for different kinds of
registration. e.g, skill acquisition groups,
religious groups, sports, redeployment,
bank account opening e.t.c
8. My CLEAR BAG: You’ll need to put the
aforementioned in a portable envelope/
bag that can withstand some amount of
wear/tear. Hence, My Clear Bag.
Tip: The forms that will be handed to you
are very easy to fill. Attach your passport
where necessary and fill them correctly.
After your registration, you will be issued
with your State Code Number. This will
be like your PIN throughout your Service
Year.
PART 2:
9. CERTIFICATES/LICENSES: For Doctors,
Pharmacists, Nurses & Lab Scientists,
take along your proof of certification.
Graduates of Medicine and Pharmacy are
expected to have their Certificates of
Registration with Nigerian Medical and
Dental Council of Nigeria (NMDCN) and
Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN)
respectively.
10. STATIONERY: PEN, PAPER, GUM. Yeah
this saves time and lots of unnecessary
begging.
Tip: Some camps do seize staplers at the
gate during check-in. But do not forget to
include pins in your stapler if you still
decide to take it along.
You will be given a meal ticket that gives
you access to the Camp kitchen for the 21
days. Lose it and you have to feed
yourself. Even if you do not intend to use
it, you will come across someone who
would appreciate the kind gesture.
Tip: After getting your NYSC State Code
Number (which you have to wear around
your neck all through camp with your ID
card), you can proceed to claim your
NYSC Kit and Mattress after which you
can proceed to get a Room. After you
have gotten your kit and secured a place
in the hostels, you can settle down and
you are good to go to start the Military
parades.
Now, Your NYSC kit should contain 1
NYSC Crested Vest, A pair of Khaki
Trousers, Cap and Jacket, 2 White T-
shirts, 2 Pairs of Knickers, 2 pairs of
green-stripped Stockings, A Pair of
Orange Jungle Boots and One Pair of
White Converse. A “Belt” is also included.
PART 3:
DAILY NEEDS:
11. ROUND-NECKED WHITE T-SHIRTS:
This is an essential outfit in camp in fact
in most camps this is the only allowed
cloth to be worn throughout your 3
weeks. Even to church, you might not be
allowed to wear colored cloths. You
would be given 2 pairs of white t-shirts at
camp to just fulfill all righteousness
which surely would never be your size
especially our very slim and small otondo
in size . So you can bring extra pairs (6).
Why? Because you probably wont have
time to wash during the week after being
stressed out from the parades and Man-
O-War drills.
Tip: Do not carry more than 2 pairs of
colored clothes because you wont need
them.
12. WHITE SHORTS: I beg you please do
bring yours. you would also be given 2
pairs of shorts which are really poor in
material. They tear easily and it can be
annoying. So my dear Otondos bring like
4 pairs of shorts. Trust me also you wont
like to wash everyday, so bring enough to
last you like 3 days so that you wont be
stranded.
13. PLAIN WHITE SNEAKERS/TENNIS
SHOES: This is a very important outfit.
you would also be given an ugly pair of
low quality white tennis shoes
customized for NYSC. It’s either you are
not given your size although you can find
someone with your size and swap. But
after the first wash it starts tearing. So
just buy yours (white). They also sell this
in camp, so in case you are not able to
get you could buy in camp just carry
extra cash for that because the price
would be higher – as with everything in
Mammy – because they know you have
no choice than to buy. Now, If you
happen to camp during the rainy season
(Batch ‘B’ & ‘C’), get white rubber
sneakers/boots especially if you’re posted
to the Southern part of the country (esp.
the South South. Read, Bayelsa). The
parade fields/mammy market will be
messed up after the rains. You will get
this in camp.
Rubber boots in action. Kaiama Camp,
Bayelsa. Batch ‘B’ 2013
14. WHITE SOCKS: Just get extra pairs.
15. PADLOCKS: [BRING or BUY from
Mammy] Please lock your boxes and
bags to avoid regrets and tears. I know
someone who lost more than 5 items
including his two phones – like he’s the
only one in camp.
16. WAIST POUCH: /Fanny pack/Bum bag
(or for the more fashion-conscious, a
cross-body purse). The bum bags are
more popular because they won’t bang
against you when you’re active and your
hands are free to do whatever. You need
it to carry your money, phone, small
valuables, pens, etc around with you at all
times. You should sleep with it too.
17. MOSQUITO TREATED NET: You would
do not want to fall sick in camp from
malaria and miss out on the fun. Just
bring yours. Also bring ropes you would
use to hang it. The nets usually have
these. I also used mine as a room to
protect my box and properties from
thieves and also from some insects and
ants.
18. BASIC DRUGS: Like paracetamol,
medicine for your allergies, menstrual
pain relief drug, nausea relief drugs,
antibiotics e.t.c. The camp clinic is
sometimes inadequately stocked with
drugs so help yourself. True story – A
corper once donated at least a million
Naira worth of med

Auntie ,You have posted this advert about 3X within the past 3 hours.
It would suggest that you need the money ASAP.

Basic business principles says if you want to sell it fast , then make the price attractive.

So I'd buy it all if you would sell @ N485/$.

You will only be loosing N1220 of your advertised price , of which your effort is already worth more than that. And in this era of BTC volatility , you profit margin might have gone lower than that.

SO Lindaz12 , are you game ?
