WorkTheTalk: You are missing the point all together. We all condemn the xenophobic attacks in South Africa. South Africans are doing the wrong thing to get the attention of their failed government. While we in Nigeria sit in corners and do cho cho cho nonstop, thousands of Nigerian are killed in Nigeria every month. Has the talk talk talk nonstop move the government to end the killings?
it is better to cho cho than to war war.
We've been at the precipes of hate before and we know what happened.
Clobisman: Xenophobia in South Africa arose because of the failures of the government in being accountable to the citizens. The discussion of whether the anger is really directed at the easiest scapegoats is another discussion but the citizens didn’t wait for government to dictate or influence there grouse. Can the same be said about our country where the most bizarre things happen by those in power and they go scot free because they have succeeded in keeping the citizens shut by instilling fears into them.
ClassicMan202: Exactly the point... After playing PlayStation all day you'll look for one successful foreigner to hate on for having more money than you
FSBoperator: This is how you all blamed Abike for your people rightly being arrested across SE Asia for drug dealing.
I don't know why Nigerians are even condemning South African govt for doing the right thing by giving quit notice to Nigerian drug dealers in their country.
zhike: Most Nigerians they always talk about Xenophobia and they don't understand what is xenophobia.
Xenophobia is the hatred of foreigners and South Africans don't hate foreigners.
The problem of South Africa is illegal immigration, Illegal immigrants will sleep on the streets, sleep on the abandoned buildings, sleep under bridges, rob everyone who passby so that they can have food, they do burglaries in the houses to have food.
Foreigners will beg money on the streets,open barber shop, hair salon, sell old cloth in the streets were selling is prohibited.
Foreigners will open prostitute shop and kidnap girls from other African countries.
Foreigners will open spaza shops and sell illegal food.
South Africans jails are full now with foreigners.
Based on the above issues, as a Nigerian what were you going to do
Chief we have heard, We are waiting for you to start the mass deportations so we can retaliate.
zhike: Can someone explain so that we can understand, how is it possible for Bokoharam to steal 300 school kids and 10 teachers at the same time, how do they move this people around, where is the police in that situation, where is soldiers in that situation, where do they hide this people.
You can come to Nigeria and come investigate the terrain for yourself.
Kalvan50: Shifting blame by telling you to enforce your own laws instead of descend into mob rule?
If people are breaking your laws, arrest them, charge them and sentence them. Your inability to do that doesn’t justify the looting of businesses by fully grown men during business hours. Doesn’t justify fully grown men and women, who should be at work, going to schools to harass immigrant kids.
He will not answer you because you are telling them the correct thing to do. They are just looking for scapegoats. Nothing more, nothing less.
Kalvan50: Drug dealing is a law enforcement issue. Are you so incompetent that you’ve been struggling for over 30 years to arrest and deport drug dealers in your tiny country? Let the law be enforced against those breaking the law, but your Zulu kin much preferred to go after law abiding, legal immigrants simply because they were soft targets
He has no answer for that one. They expecting us to come and fold hand with them and be crying for their drug addicts.
zhike: The issue is that you fail to understand what is happening in South Africa, get your facts right and you will understand South African situation. South Africans only chase foreigners that are doing wrong things, such as selling on the streets,.
We have lot of Nigerians lecturers in our universities and no one is touching them.
SeriouslySense: That is the danger of multicultural societies, they never work. There is no trust or unity. When God came down and confused people with different languages, he knew what he was doing.
So he confused us so we can be fighting each other shey?
drstranged: You don't get it. What makes the South African xenophobia outrageous is the fact that they target only Africans but are afraid of doing same to people of white skin. They're cowards and afraid of running same riot on the white guys that enslaved and killed them for years and who are still doing so.
They have found a new name for "amakwerekwere". Its now "illegal migrants".
