I am not sure the senior cadre of Nigerian Military are really aware of the havoc their men use to wreck on ordinary Nigerian on the street. Just imagine how they almost kill this woman! I remember my near death with a Lt. In Nigerian army at Capital Oil Berger during oil scarcity after waiting on the queue from morning till around 4.pm, a group of four Nigerian army came to buy fuel, they did not only scatter the line, the went straight to the dispensing point to get the fuel. The only offence I committed was to say my younger brother is also a Lt. in the Army like this man. I didn't insult him, demote his pride or personality in any way. The next him was for him to land his rod on my head several times, Inflicting wounds on my face I spend the next few weeks nursing the wound and sickness. When it comes to human rights abuse, no doubt Nigerian Army is number 1. While we commend their gallantry in the fight against Boko Haram and others, NA, should spend quality time to train the men and officers on the need to relate well and respect civilians as is done in other civilised Word in the 21st century. Vital informations that can lead to victory are always been voluntaire by members of the society if the military are friendly but once you strain relationships with image smeagring attitudes like humiliating and decapitating civilians, they we leave you to fight your battles alone because of the risk of being dehumanised. |
LoJ:Trash. It is obvious you people don't want to give up on this matter of church audit. One thing you fail to understand is that every church will outlive the GO or founder. The ultimate owner of church is GOD and everyone that finds himself as a leader in a church will be accountable unto God, not only here on earth but in eternity. In eternity, silver a d gold becomes worthless, $, N, Euro etc won't be able to help anybody because they are not needed over there. You will only be remembered and judged by what you have done here on earth. |
comshots:I doubt if you are a Nigerian. Please note, South Africans like you are not allowed to come to this forum to add insult on the injury. Now, tell us is it rational for Nigerian Immigration Service to start treating every South Africans coming into this country shabby just because they carry South African Passport? Jacob Zuma has started a war he will not leave to see the end. As for the ignorant and uncivilized Xenophobic blacks, it will be too late when they realize all other Black African countries are against them in international politics and economic alliances |
OP, did you say the picture top left is Ag President daughter? I just expect her to dress like a pastor's daughter in the public. |
myplaydiary: |
myplaydiary:Two brothers may be fighting like sworn enemies at home, but that does not give a stranger to attack any of them thinking the other brother will be watching a strangers beating his brother. An attack on one is an attack on all. Once we leave the shore of Nigeria, there should be no Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba. An injury to one is an injury to all. Because when the Jacob Zuma thugs come, they will not ask for the tribe, or religion. A Nigerian is a Nigerian. Now South Africa is in high trouble, because they lack sense of history :kingdom s raise and fall, that you are doing well today does not guarantee you a brighter future, you have to earn it. The have turned all black Africans against their country and interest. |
Msauza:Please understand our position clearly. For the purpose or record and avoidance of doubt, we are not supporting crime and will never support any criminal be they Nigerian or South Africans. However, we feel strongly about the way the locals are attacking Nigerians in the name of fighting drug pushers? Does your law support moab action against suspect that has not been proven guilty against an offence by a court of competent jurisdiction? ARE MOABS NOW SUPPOSE TO ASSUME THE WORK OF POLICE? Just imagine if some South Africans in Nigeria were accused by people on the street and the next thing, Area Boys stormed their residence or shops unleash terror on them, kill some and burn their properties, how would you feel? Why will South African government allow touts to attack Nigerians, what is the work of police? In the process of trying to attack the guilty you end up killing many innocents? Is that a civilised approach to fight crime. You certainly have a long way to go. History have a funny way of repeating itself. You guy will soon get your fingers burnt again, it will be worse than apartheid, let me see the African country you will run for refuge. |
Now I can understand why I haven't able to use an MTN line successfully. I keep dumping the line each time I buy a new one or reactivate a blocked one. I have been using my Glo and Airtel lines. It is better. I will rather spend my money at Justrite than Shopright. With the current development, I should start considering how to dump DSTV & Gotv and shop CONSAT. White men may have their issue on how they treat blacks, but you will agree with me that the Black South African would probably have been better under Apartheid regime than being free. |
Msauza:You have clearly shown by your comment the mindset of an average South African black. What you want us to believe is that South Africans are saints? Don't you know that it is absolutely impossible for foreigners to commit crime without active support or collaboration of the locals? It takes two to tango. Do you think an ordinary human being not doing drug will hack another human like the xenophobic guys are doing? You Government and police have failed to protect foreigners. You have completely lost sense of history. You have no idea the type of sacrifice made by Nigerian Government and people to bring the obnoxious apartheid policy to global attention and fight it. I certainly place the blame at the door step of Successive administration in this country that embarks on policy that supports Africa at the expense of her national. We are wiser now, we must certainly assert ourselves and command respect. We not just going to seat and demand for respect, we are going to command respect. We know the Zulus are backward in terms of civilization but we won't be victim of their lack of discernment. |
papaejima1:This looks like the first good news I will be reading on this subject in this forum. We aren't cowards. Now if Zuma like, let him attempt to direct police to open fire, then he will know that he has signed a letter of beginning of the end! |
farouk0403:We must be careful not to make the same mistakes the uncivilised xenophobic South Africans are making. NOT ALL BLACK SOUTH AFRICANS ARE XENOPHOBIC! So, no blanket cover. Secondly any Nigerian that have link to their main forums in South Africa should make it thread on it on nairaland. We need to take the social media war to their door steps. Am really angry. |
Sanchez01:OP, I wish I have power to give award on this forum that will recommend you for commendation by Seun. I can't just imagine why anybody will think South African black will suddenly wake up and by converted from their Xenophobic mindset without the use of reasonable force. To also trust whatever Zuma say on ending the continual attack is to accept Judas' kiss. Why I may not be in support of violent attack on South Africans in Nigeria, we must encourage the NANS to embark of peaceful protest that will probably disrupt one or two business days for the likes of MTN, DSTV etc in Nigeria and inscription on banners that will denounce Xenophobia and condemn South African government careless handling of the crime for the international community to see and be our witness that we have given enough warning against the attack. It will also teach the uncivilised black South Africans that in the 21st century Africans protesting a civilised way and get result. ANC, may end up losing power to opposition if Zuma continue to lead SA the way he is doing. If there is any country that deserves respect in Africa from South Africans, it is Nigeria. If we fail to make a good example of how not to disrespect Nigerians with South Africa, we should just forget about anything called respect in Africa. |
freeborn76:In as much as I believe in peaceful coexistence, it is time to tell Jacob Zuma's government and by extension the black South Africans that there is a limit to human tolerance when pushed to the wall. It clearly inhuman to treat the people that helped you out of difficulty unkindly Because South African companies are employing Nigerians on our soil doesn't make them God. We have had nationalisation of companies owned by UK in the past and South Africa may not be an exception in the 21st century. Nigerians in South Africa can still return to Nigeria and life will continue, but if we fail to send a very strong signal to this criminals, you can be sure in the long run you may not have any Nigerian in South Africa that will survive the future attack. When you are talking to someone, you've got to speak the language the person understands. Can't you see that the only language Zuma's errand boys understand is violence, do you think Zuma gas an iota of regard for Nigeria? Can you recollect how he relegated Nigerian president to the background during the burial of Mandela? Was he completely lacking in sense of history how Mandela was housed in Ikoyi, Lagos for protection and assistance during apartheid? The arguments that Nigerian in South Africa are criminal is been sold to the gullible. How is it possible for Nigerians to be the only drug pushers in South Africa, get me right, am not supporting g criminality but hey, you know that if Nigerian are alleged to be sell drugs, who are the buyers? Are they not South Africans? How many of the buyer have been arrested? Are all Nigerians drug pushers? Can't you see failure of leadership /governance in Zuma's government? If Zuma's government failed to accord us the respect we deserve and when ahead to covertly support criminal attack against Nigerians by not ensure adequate security coverage for Nigerians, he should be reminded that nobody has monopoly of violence. A few year ago, we some Nigerian parliamentarians were forcefully deported from South Africa and Nigeria retaliated, did Zuma not step in? This people have stayed so long under apartheid that they think violence against their black brothers should be the way to resolve their economic crisis. My final admonition to Nigerian students as an elder is to engage on a non-violent protest. Block MTN, DSTV, etc office with peaceful protest and banner condemning the xenophobic attack against Nigerians in South Africa, let all International media carry the news. By so doing, you would have sent a clear message not only to Zuma's administration, but the whole word about the crime. This is clearly a way to show them we are more civilised. |
anibi9674:How is it possible for your 'afonja' to conduct a rating based on sentiments as assumed by you and then rate Abeokuta and Lagos low? My perspective is the list is not only exhaustive, it has some elements of bias. For instance, Abuja if objectively rated should be at least in the top 20.Also, where is the rating for Accra, Yaounde etc? |
Onechancearmy:What is more important, the financial investment or the continual decapitation of Nigerian by South African blacks South African whites will be saying in their minds now that it serves Nigerian right. South African Government thougth they have out grown military intervention. They will be surprise to experience one in the 21st century . Let Jacob Zuma continue to down play the seriousness of the social crime. Most of the Nigerian been attacked in South Africa are not Hausas, they are not from the same stock with PMB, we may have our sharp differences at home but an attack on Igbo or Yoruba in South Africa in an attack on all. Get the spirit right for once. |
Did you imply NNPC bus that is worth N23m was stolen cheaply? I suspect high level conspiracy because the bus is suppose to have a good security tracker or device that should make it easy to recover if stolen. Hmn, in this period of recession losing a job is not funny o. Next time you will not only warn yourself but your children on the danger of infidelity. |
ChetaNwaeze: ![]() Am sure you are proud of Lagos, a state that gives all a sense of belonging. That is the Nigeria of our dream. A state where Nigerians are happy to live together. The Center of Excellence. |
The black south Africans want apartheid to come back n a more brutal form. They sincerely lacks knowledge of their own history. Anybody that pays back his helper with evil must read evil. The fact that Nigerian government has been tolerating this unprovoked attack has made it easy for them to continue unabated,. It has also given their high Commissioner in Lagos to look down on Nigerians and talk to us with elements of disrespect. Nigerians did not make South Africans lazy. If you know Nigerians that violates your law, arrest them but don't ever attackers Nigerian in a neighbourhood and tag them drug pushers is it possible for Nigerians to perpetrate any crime without active collaboration of the locals? |
This man is abami eda. This looks like Nollywood dress for Ifa priest. |
Strictly my personal opinion :The only difference between the two men is the colour of their dress. |
The big question begging for answer is what is Nigerian Government doing about it? Must they always wait until Senators are deported before they take serious action against this unbecoming attitude? Where is the minister of foreign affairs? What is his work and why is he not talking to us about the safety of Nigerians in South Africa? What are our media houses doing? The NTA, Channel TV TVC, The Punch, Vanguard, Guardian etc. It is alarming to see the unusual silence when Nigerians are been killed and maimed by people will fought for their independence. |
samyyoung:Just continue to attack Nigerians while Jacob Zuma looks the other way. Nobody has monopoly of violence. I pray Nigerians to get to retaliate anyway. |
sammydirectly:I don't know. Am not in South Africa but what I know is that it is impossible for Nigerians to be the only people involved in a particular crime in a foreign land without the support of the locals. Now for you people to now turn that to attack on all Nigerians and making calls that Nigerians must be deported will never go unnoticed. That a lion is looking the other way when a deer is encroaching on his territory does not make the lion incapacitated, the lion is only quite because it is waiting for the deer to be close enough to be captured with minimum stress. We are watching you. Take it we have come a long way, we have taken enough insult and attack from South Africa under Zuma. South Africa will regret the actions of her national and president if nothing is done to address the rubbish. |
azimibraun:Ours is to defend law abiding Nigerians. Mark you, they can't tell me South African are not complicity in these crimes they are alleging against Nigerians. Are South Africans not more promiscuous than Nigerian? |

The census should include biometric data capturing, BVN number for those that have bank account, HAUSA SHOULD BE SEPARATED FROM FULANIS, let's us know the population of Hausa and the population of Fulanis, they may be all Muslim, that's is OK. If possible let all the people without national ID indicate if in the census and be captured. A thorough census will The help us immensely to eliminate many atrocities in this society, it will help in effective planning and if backed with biometric data capture, will minimise terrorism, kidnapping, robbery etc. Please lets add our voice to encourage NPC to capture as much information as possible. |
kropotkin2:I disagree with you. We are in a technology age. Every body knows how important the exercise is so all tribes in this country have got to take it very seriously. Indeed international monitors should be invited because it is really very sensitive. Let us confront our fair once. |
kingthreat:Economic variables are not things your can just order with threat of gun. The forces of demand and supply determines price/rate. You can only stimulate or embark on policies that can stimulate supply of FX and reduce demand for it to arrive at a desired exchange rate under the current situation. Giving a blind order is just like attempting to stop a moving truck/train with your bare hands instead of applying the brakes. |
