LeSudAfricaine: I still stand for what i said, No Motswana will be lynched for being a Motswana, I'm a Motswana myself, how will they know if I'm a South African motswana or a motswana from Botswana ?
We have Ndebele South Africans,
We have Venda people who are South Africans
We have Tsogan/Shangaan who are on the South African side too.
Strange, How would the attackers know which one is on the SOUTH AFRICAN SIDE EITHER
LeSudAfricaine: Take the South Africans out of the equation, the question is who likes Nigerians? Let's be honest, which country welcomes Nigerians with open arms? Your reputation precedes you where ever you go! It's not a South African thing but a global one, so stop making this about South African blacks! If you were so enterprising how come you country is in the state it's in?why do you feel the need to be enterprising on foreign lands but your own? Hardwork is not exclusive to Nigerians, let's be real for once! You say tha we are Xenophobic and yet you say you marry our women at ano alarming rate, aren't the women also supposed to be Xenophobic?
Lets take South AFrica out of the equation.
Almost every other country welcomes Nigerians with open arms (apart from South Africa). What they do not welcome is Nigerians who engage in illicit and illegal acts as any country should not.
By share numbers, Nigerians constitute the highest number of immigrant graduates with Masters, PHD's and the likes in the US, The UK and the likes. Gestimates would put about 10 million Nigerian diasporans outside the country and likewise less that 1 % of them involved in criminal activities.
but then again the Nigerians should look themselves in the eye while the SAffers get a pass on Xenophobia.
ololo12: You guys have failed to answer my question. I'm going to ask again. Is it possible for an African to be an illegal immigrant in an African country? it doesn't make any sense. You see Europeans in other European countries, but they aren't called illegals or foreigners. What happened to Africa for Africans?
Yes it is if you take into account the existence of countries within a continent. This applies to every know country. The difference is there are measures developed nations such as Europe have taken to integrate their countries, create one currency and allow for free flow of goods and services based on on par economic well being.
Africa is unique in recent history in that it has shared in the destructive advent of colonialism and racism and therefore is required to band together as a force because it fights the same common enemy. This is intelligent and is what needs to happen regardless of the concept of nation building.
So yes you can be considered an illegal immigrant within a sovereign state but there should be a certain level of economic movement of both capital, labor, goods and services freely across borders.
LeSudAfricaine: One thing I hate more than ignorance iis blatant lying. Tswana is one of the South African languages, I'm SeTswana speaking myself,people from Lesotho, Botswana and Swaziland are regarded as South Africans because all these are spoken in the SA. and are regarded as South African states, You can't even tell that someone is from Botswana, so please enough with the lies
This is the reason why Lesotho made this statement. I know she is clear that she is concerned about her people and the difference btw South Africa and Lesotho
LeSudAfricaine: You hatred for Ghana is more than sibling rivalry and you know it,showing me a picture of a couple is really lame because I could also show you a picture of Nigerian and South african couple, what does that prove?
We do not hate Ghanians and we know this for a fact. The only two major Anglophone countries in West Africa have a Sibling rivalry and both sides are fully aware of this.
Only a sensitive azz South African would try to pull the wool over peoples eyes to justify his country men's actions.
I can literally stand in the room of a bunch of local Ghanians during a football match in which Nigerian wins and I will walk out alive, If the situation was reversed and it was a bunch of local South AFricans, we all know what would happen.
LeSudAfricaine: People who are foaming in the mouth about this Xenophobia thing is mostly you Nigerians,, this could have happened in Chad or Djibouti or anywhere, but it happened in South África, the South África you hate with a passion! It's not about what happened to poor Africans, it's boils down too who did it
Its because we feel the HATRED emanating from your borders.
There are Chadian refugees in Nigeria
There are Somali refugees in Kenya
There are Angolan refugees in the COngo
There are South Sudanese refugees in neighbouring countries.
No heat from Nigerians coming from there because no HATE!
Just admit what is inside of you and you will be free of your HATE!
LeSudAfricaine: As if you care, I find it amusing that Nigerians are all of a sudden pan African, you now speak for Zambians, Malians, Ghanians, the same Ghanians you call charcoal,
Its because your sensitive azzez have been isolated for a long time and just been let out of cages recently that you cannot get the rivalry that exists between Ghana and Nigeria.
The hate you dream of is just and intense sibling rivalry. We have shed our blood for our brothers and they for us.
Look at his beautiful Ghana and Naija couple below. No beef!
LeSudAfricaine: My Thoughts exactly, I also get the feeling that many were hoping something bad happens in South África for once so they can use against us
That's the paranoia you have spinning endlessly in your heads because, I think you guys have some bent up complex you need to address.
There was an AFrica before you came on the scene. There will still be an Africa if you wish to exit!
850 million minus 50 million still leaves 800 million
PunkyOh: No. Na by force? I should do it because I want to & not because AKA is doing it. He is taking a stand & I applaud him for doing it- his prerogative.
There are three types of people in this world my dear.
There are WOLVES who prey
There are Sheep who stand on the side lines and just meer!
PunkyOh: Well, I don't care about what you think my responsibilities should be as a citizen. I run my life & noone dictates it for me. Shikena. If someone breaks the law, then that's the responsibility of the police & not mine. I'm not a resident of Gotham city so I will not take the role of a superhero. Sorry. Got better things to do with my time than play community watchdog. If than translates to me condoning the attacks to you, then so be it. Don't care!
The "I don't care" attitude is the whole problem to begin with. Learn to eat some humble pie, stop crying like a 6 year old and take responsibility for the Rainbow nation.
soilsista: Bayadika shame. Nantsi i'head boy yakhona uMorphy. If only they used the same energy to fix things eyadini yabo. Lol excuse my Zulu
We will fix our problems by ourselves and will neither blame others nor make excuses for our country men who do bad things by condoning their acts if they take the life of innocent people.
You are in my space so you cannot tell me what energy to dispense on nairaland. As long as I am not killing anyone, I can dispense all the energy I have.
PunkyOh: Hahaha. High court. Anyway, just read that some of the people were arrested & the community is the one that reported their whereabouts. Copy dat! Now I'm waiting for inja ezokhonkotha, accusing all of us of this nonsense.
Nobody was accusing all of you but when you allow and make excuses for those who perpetrate this acts by keeping silent or coming up with ridiculous reasons for their actions by pointing out what other bad people do, then you are showing the world that you condone the acts.
If you want to turn the tide then drown out the actions of your criminal country men by raising your voices against the act and not coming on Nairaland in the name of defending your country because you are sensitive.
V0lv0: Dieantword/kwametut welcome back. Lol this time you are a Nigerian. If you going to pretend to be someone else at least change the way you write. You write exactly the same and so it's very easy to fish you out. It seems you have an identity crisis issue or you must be bipolar. Be proud of where you come from and stop pretending to be other Nationalities
BluIvy: Wallowing in your past glories I see! You forgetting one thing that was a governmental move and this time its societal thugs and criminals. SA government seems to be unable at this moment to control what is happening. And not only that but they are afraid to be seen as being too iron handed against their own citizens as the tides could quickly turn against them. If they could they would have compromised as usual to play the more matured role and democratic stance as they want to be seen as more politically correct internationally.
Playing politics with the lives of human beings is business as usual in South Africa. You are simply in the teething stages of your democracy. The second to last independent nation in Africa says they are better than other African countries and are ready to lead yet you are still at the beginning stages of what many AFrican countries refuse to go through again.
THE MOST HATED AFRICAN NATION ON ITS OWN CONTINENT TODAY.
Blood is on your hands!
Live in isolation please, your country will be worse off for it.
chachanga: Mehn, I just saw those horrific videos now. To all understanding South Africans on the forum, thanks for the sympathy, depth and broad-mindedness you've brought to the fore here; sadly, your numbers are few. To frustrated, psychopathic cretins like Miss BluIvy whose sad pathetic existence thrives only to inexcusably defend the parochially murderous ways of her country men; you are a disgrace! Madam, were you perchance, at any point in this whole affray, able to get off your high horse and see the real live actions and implications of the deeds of your country men? Or is your bravery and oratory powers at faulty rationalizations only deployable when you're safely hidden behind keypads and computer screens? What're U doing on a Naija forum, anyway, if u really felt this much inferior to and therefore antagonistic of Nigerians? Sorry, it's a free world EVEN THOUGH, I SUSPECT, IF IT WAS UP TO YOU AND YOUR KIND, LET'S SAY NAIRALAND WAS AN S.A. FORUM, YOU WOULD ALSO HAVE BANNED MOST OF US NAIJANS & FOREIGNERS, ABI? SINCE WE WOULD ALSO HAVE BEEN DEPRIVING YOU OF IMAGINARY E-BABES, JOBS AND OPPORTUNITIES? So, u're here on a Naija forum pecking away at nerves with your myopic monocausal fallacies? In the same Nigeria that MTN practically runs at rip-off rates? and other SA owned companies are given pride of place? In the same Nigeria where expatriates have their picks of the ripest peaches even when locals are regularly sidelined in their favor? How would you feel if the millions of our jobless youths in Lagos and all over Nigeria didn't get busy hawking pure water etc but instead laid somewhere eyeing how to bust shoprite wide open, run immigrants outta town and start lynching and burning folks in broad daylight with the Police Forces keenly watching... There's no reasoning with you since you've obviously and intentionally closed your eyes to the realities and ears to the truth. YOU WOULD RATHER SHOOT FOR A WIN WITH BASELESS ARGUEMENTS ON THE UBIQUITOUSLY IMPERSONAL NAIRALAND AND BE SHOWN FOR THE SHALLOW, HOLLOW SOUL YOU ARE RATHER THAN SHARE THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE IN DECRYING THIS ANIMALISTIC RAVINGS OF YOUR COUNTRYMEN, WELL DONE, MADAM KILLER-IN-EMBRYO! So, carry on, continue your parrying away the probings of common-sense...karma will find you somewhere down the road!
BluIvy: Once again, we know what others are doing or planning to do, what are you doing? The people of the countries you are busy posting around are not on this forum are they?
Big Brother is waiting for the pawns to move first.
We have more power. We've done it before when we suspended flights after that whole "yellow fever card fiasco" your minister starting apologizing left right and center cause she felt the heat from the powers that be that make the mulla!
BluIvy: What war now? I thought this is being dealt with by political & economical means. We are separating peacefully so there would be no war. As I have said before no war in our country!
? The current Video below doesn't look to me like political and economic means
BluIvy: So much for the so called giant of Africa. Smaller countries are taking swift decisions without even talking to you. And you are here barking much yet to make any move besides organizing a gang up.
Hay Phumakithi!!!!!
Your feeble attempts at tryng to make this about Nigeria will not work this time around. Your personal beef with us is small compared to the ripple effect taking place.
Your atrocities are spreading like wild fire. This is the social media age. Your barbarians in Kwazulu natal and JHB will not hide this one. YOu are transporting your hate and frustration outside your shores and you will get it back with full force.
You think SA are the only ones that have seen Hell in Africa.
You are about to get a crash course on African history. Strap on your seat belt, its gonna be a bumpy ride my dear!
