RandDigital: South Africans on social media rejected a pledge of collaboration Zulu King Misuzulu kaZwelethini signed with King Ogiame Atuwatse III, the Itsekiri Olu of Warri in Nigeria in Nongoma, KwaZulu-Natal on 16 May 2025.
According to Sunday World, Misuzulu and Atuwatse III signed the symbolic pledge of collaboration, and Misuzulu said the pledge was not a symbolic gesture but an awakening of ancestral bonds between the two nations. Misuzulu said the two nations, separated by boundaries, are united by kinship, legacy and both nations' roles as custodians of African heritage, culture and dignity.
Misuzulu said the purposeful meeting was born not out of convenience but a vision both nations shared to lead the Zulus and the Warri people into a future rooted in identity. He said both nations are ready to build trade and cultural relationships, and considered the engagement as a testimony of Pan African unity.
The Premier of KwaZulu-Natal, Thami Ntuli, announced that the royal house received R86 million annually, a 4.3% increase. The money is meant to assist Misuzulu's cultural roles. Misuzulu also reappointed Prince Thulani Zulu as his current spokesperson. Zulu left the position three years ago when he fell out of favour with Misuzulu after he ascended the throne.
WHAT DID SOUTH AFRICANS SAY?
Netizens commenting on Sunday World's Facebook post rejected the partnership.
Jacinta Zinhle MaNgobeswe Zuma asked: "Collaborate to do what?"
Anele Jones asked: "Why did God curse us with such spineless and stupid leaders? What did we do to deserve this? This so-called king doesn't even love people under his leadership."
Lutendo Mphidi Chi-anzi said: "He doesn't understand the tribe he leads. Unless he's doing it intentionally."
Matthews Maphalala asked: "Out of all the tribes, he chose Nigerians?"
Balebetse Seleka said: "I think the wrong man was chosen for the Zulu monarch.
Trevor Ndlela said: "The problem with our king is that he does not understand the tribe he leads."
Mavuso Lungelo Mawande said: "This country is out of control now. We have our domestic issues to sort out."
This Southies sound so bereft of basic intelligence and educationally backwards in the stone ages
Kaymaxi2222: Na your Kazeem the main reason for the she the car is showing you and how did they drive the car sotey all the 4 coil pack up at once ......Omo I am feeling pity for you sincerely speaking. And for that car to have overheated twice to the extent it spoilt all the coil then that engine life cannot remain the same again.....Nawa oo
Your situation is pitiable but I think I have also learnt something. I now understand why my friend insisted I bring a kazeem from my place in Calabar to test the car I got for him last year. This chap came in through night bus and by afternoon I took him there. Even the seller was uncomfortable when he saw the diagnostic devices the mechanic came with. He tested everything and used his laptop to analyse and gave His opinion which brought down the price appreciably. The next day by 5am he was driving the car to calabar. Honestly I'll do same tactics once I am ready to change my car later this year.
Just sell it and move on else it will cost u not etgag the original price to fix it
MaziObinnaokija: Nobody force una to sub for DSTV/GOTV.We dey watched TV in the late 70/80s without DSTV/GOTV.
You are lucky that nairaland is a faceless forum. Else your picture would have been used as a symbol of national stupidity like your brother David Abisoye on X who said; "Must you eat Spaghetti? Are you Italians"? He went further to ask "Must you eat eggs"?
Blacks and inferiority complex... so easy to impress.
By the way, went to Burkina Faso thrice last year. This guy is full of hot air.
He has a very active propaganda machine. He's damn serious about it.
When I was there, a coup happened that was immediately quashed. His counterpart in Guinea has switched off Internet in the whole country. You can't access without a VPN. ALL residents.
If you write against the Government as a Burkinabe, they send you to the war front.
Funny enough I like and support him, especially with chasing away the evil and ruthless French colonial masters. France bled their colonies like Vampires. They even forced Haiti to pay for colonisation, " a cost of civilization".
But this guy lies too much. They even claimed they made an electric car. Within less than 3 years oo.
They too have a Boko Haram type of insurgency. Thanks to USA foolishness with Ghaddaffi / Libya.
He has to chose the best option to kick France out completely. The only choice that will reset their brains is Russia. I can't confirm or contest what you claimed but I know the electric car was actually written that it was assembled in Burkina Faso by a Chinese company that has relocated there. Forget the headlines. I read it first hand. Also he has to be careful with many Burkinabes that are French spies everywhere, hence the clampdown. France is sponsoring the insurgency but it's not as bad as ours Let him try Russia after years of french exploitation and nothing to show than siding with criminals that are stealing the country's resources like they do here in Nigeria
Let him chose whoever he prefers to work with or not. Imperialsim can't be fought with white gloves. You must use same tactics the imperialists use and get your gloves red🥊 sometimes. The price for absolute sovereignty comes with a huge cost.
This young man has more respect I'm his fingers globally than Tinubu will ever have.
No be to do de Cho Cho Cho from his media domestic and foreign dogs and running to France with private jet bought with taxes that's killing Nigerians
You respect yourself and you will be respected. Military rule is better than Nigerian version of democracy. Even monarchy system is better. Most kings are compassionate
Danisaint112: I used to really like this VDM guy until he started receiving donations for his humanitarian work. It seems like he felt the money was too much to just give away and decided to keep part of it. Then, claimed his account was hacked, only to later say it was a prank—likely because Nigerians weren’t buying the story after news came out that he bought a new car.
One thing about me is, once you mess up, it’s hard for me to trust you again.
I appreciate the fact that he’s standing up for Nigerians, and I respect him for that. But just like I don’t care about Fubara—who got into office through Wike’s rigging—I also don’t care about him, because at the end of the day, they’re both part of the same corrupt system.
You generally have issues...how are you coping with the human neighbours around you?
I salute the few Yorubas I know that are liberal and actually bothered by this tribal bigotry Tinubu is heading. I know how wrong it is to paint everyone with the same brush.
Tunde is a detribalised Nigerian and was just caught in a crossfire that is spreading across the country instigated by Tinubu. But thank God for his level of intelligence that has made the accuser looked stupid
He's only going to get more popular amongst Nigerians with every arrests. This government are too dull to understand the theory or popular perception management in politics.
What's the issue with EFCC when it was just complaints he made of his mom's illegal deductions from GTCO.
Same EFCC that declared White Lion wanted and when he came to their office they ran to hide till he left and today the case is as cold as Domino Ice cream. Same EFCC is harassing VDM. It's a joke
Oluboh: Senator Natasha Akpoti Told Me She Paid Dr Obi Ezekwesili, FIDA to go the the Senate". Natasha told me there was no sexual harassment, and that she has no evidence"- Dr Sandra Duru Exposes Natasha
This one's armature liar. We know Akpabio stole trillions and have given you a few billions. Natasha and madam Oby will reply you.... Akpabio trying to link Tinubu into it since he cannot fight th battle alone and losing already. He wants the judge influenced and wants to change people's perceptions due to the evidence in court he's afraid of.
[quote author=happiness32 post=135209334][/quote]This one lie pass Lai Mohammed. If she was bearing Aisha or Salamatudeen of say na Lie Mohammad Daughter
What money cannot do, more money can do it. Akpabio don give this one over a billion to throw away her PhD to the dust
The druggie is lying. The facts are there to check online. It's not true What is true is that Nigerian politicians earn the highest in the world despite the very poor population they kept at poverty
This Baba is a hell bound candidate. I think he's into suffering tapping voodoo cos he actually uses the anguish and wails if Nigerians suffering to stabilise their coven. As the president, he holds the master key to the underworld for Nigeria
helinues: So Anambra as a state didn't have boats to carry a whole state governor to the scene of flood disaster.
Same Peter Obi you people claimed developed the whole world
