I ask myself as to why are white people so obssesd with us! Everything we do they try to crush it. Why don't you hear them saying or doing this to the Asians! I'm starting to believe that we're somehow a threat to them. They know that we're good, they know that if we're given resources we can do it!

Personally I no longer take these things(whites) serious. They think that being pale and pink, they're better than everybody. We don't have any obssesion with them. These people are a bunch of confused, self educated fools who believe that the world belongs to them. I believe that they're the most barbaric people on the planet. If U look at WW I and WW II, then U will agree with me that, they're the most uncivilised group on the planet, they mame and killled each other in order to dominate, now is that not barbaric.

Blacks were living peaceful in Africa until they came and wrecked havoc! Is that not barbaric. They'll do anything just to sabotage the World Cup. The sad part is that the white media in South Africa are behind this! The whites here still can't believe as to how can blacks build such infrustructure and organise a such a big event. To them we're just a bunch of good for nothing HIV/AIDS ravaged criminals who's only hobby is making babies. To GOD be the glory, when we got democracy, the country was in a mess, but look at it now, of course we have -problems, crime and hiv, but that is what the Americans are a suffering from now, but its not an issue!

It is such a tratedgy to be an African as we have to do everything twice to prove our worth. But for a bunch of pink individuals who have a believe that they're God's children we're just like animals to them. GOD knows his real children!

@cap28

thank you! You spoke like a true son of the soil! Our grandmothers and uncles died fighting apartheid! Don't forget that black South Africans were fighting an incredible army with nuclear weapons of western standards. We only had AK47'S!

We won't be bullied by a group of cowards who want to share the wealth that our grandmothers faught for!

The above was written by a level headed Nigerian!

Nigerians cannot hold SA hostage because they played a role in their struggle against apartheid.
SA was very welcoming to Nigerians until we started exporting our crime, faud their, which obviously will breed resentment.
Nigeria chased Ghana nationals back in the 80's, which was a state sactioned policy. what moral right do we have for accusing SA of xenophobia.

You guys accuse the SA of being slaves to the whites, but at least they fought the unjust aprtheid system. In Nigeria, we are slaves in our own country held hostage by a very 'corrupt cabal'. Instead of quarelling with SA, let's fight our war and restore our nation to it's former glory.

I am tired of fellow nigerians wasting their energy quarelling with SA, when our country is on the verge of becoming a failed state. We boast of being 'gifted, educated' etc, yet our country is on a precipice.
Where is our President? We are spineless at even demanding he resigns, but come online to boast of being the 'most intelligent blacks'. Please, give me a break. Let's stop living a LIE.

Let's leave South Africans alone and direct the energy at solving our multitude of problems.

This is so stupid! The white folk hate our guts, do U think we like them! I don't even understand what u're sayin! Put things in context!

What baffles me the most about Nigerians is why there are over a million of them in South Africa if we're such bad people! The fact is most South Africans, don't even know some of the countries in Africa, we generally don't care about what happes in Nigeria or Sudan!
I've people saying Nigerians are just cocky, but no I differ, I think they have this tendency of thinkin that they are the superior black race because they have more degrees than brains! If then have University degrees is the best thing a man can have, then we must see the results of that! What your country can boast about is black on black violence, muslims v christians! At least with us it was black v white!

People must not use the xenophobic attacks as a reason for hating us! Africans have always dispised us, for wat reason I don't know! I mean we never even want to visit your countries.
People have a choice to choose who to live with, it is our right to choose not live amongst other Africans, that is why U'll never see a South African relocating to Senegal or Nigeria!

Nigerians have a tendecy of talking about our economy being controlled by whites, so what! those whites are South Africans! This is cheap talk, there are now so many black multi national companies in SA. If then it is a bad thing for whites to control the economy of SA, then all Nigerians must leave in protest of this.

Some are even so stupid to be happy the SA have one of the highest HIV rate in the world! The this shows stupidity, because even in Nigeria HIV is there! We are doing things for our selves we don't need anybody's help, that's why we stay home to make our country work, that is why some of we're gonna take leave and become volunteers during the first world cup in Africa, which U tried to bid for, only to realise later that U don't have the capacity to stage a tournament.

What Nigerians are good at is to invade other people's countries, then end up languishing in their jails. My advice is actions speak louder than words, what U could start by doing is to clean up that slum U call a city (Lagos)

Stupid little senate from Africa, what the hell was he thinking, imagine Nigeria threatening the US.

U are right cause they were supported by Germany, Holland, USA, Britain while our only credible supprt came from Russia!

ROLFMAO! Jealous of Nigerians, U gotta be kiddin me! How would we canvass for a United States of Africa, while we were the first African country to reject the idea! surely we don't want to be one thing with U!

@honeric01

South Africans, cowards, think again buddy! We can be the most violent people on earth if povoked, go ask the Afrikaaners, Zimbabweans,Malawians,Pakistanis and of course Nigerians etc!

hey dude! don't get so worked up hey! is the truth about U too much to handle! Your people hav invaded our country like flies! So I guese we won't be invading Nigeria, so why don't we invade it online

yeah! the game is gonna be out in Feb! The movie is South African production, but the game is developed by the Amerians! Gonna enjoy shooting those Nigerians

@Kpolli

I'm coloured U bastard! don't U know a mixture of black & white!

by who's standard! Don't tell me U want to compare that shithole called Nigeria to South Africa! If so then there's someting wrong in your head

So the self proclaimed giant of Africa is nothing more than a failed state! LOL

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Failed_States_Index

So now the so called giant of Africa is a failed state just like most of its fellow failed African states!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Failed_States_Index

who are U trying to make better, us! By making us smell like U, talk like U! shame, Why would we beat whites, some of us have white grandparends & not Nigerian relatives!

All western countries should send U back to the cage(Nigeria) Wish a Nigerian try that little stunt on one of our planes, and see wat will happen to the rest of your bros in SA!

Go to rest, U smelly, pitchblack ape!!!

Wat do U mean funny! Do U think I was trying to be funny!

Go back home & stop terrorising people in their own countries! U smell funny, U speak very loud, U're a typical black baboon from Nigeria.

Your people kwo very well that if one Nigerian pulls dat stunt on us, wat will happen to Nigerians and all their smelly black bros!

At least the failed state will host the soccer world cup! what will U be doing, hosting the terrorists convention

The whole world blamed us when we beat the hell out of U, look now wat's happening to the poor Americans! PLS go back home & stop terrorising people in their own countries!

! When we tried sending U home the whole world blamed us and called it xenophobic attacks! So now look at this! Americans should ship U back to West Africa or else the're in danger!

@Kpolli!

Its time the US send U home, where U belong, to play with baboons in Nigeria! South Africa will follow suite

So the little senator from a less third world African nation, is giving the USA seven days to remove his country from the black list!

Its now time for America to send these Nigerians back to where they belong, in Nigeria. South Africa should now be alert! We don't know what these Nigerians are planning in Hillbrow

Stupid little Senator, giving America an ultimatum! ! Wat will happen if America doesn't oblige.
Now its time for Obama to send all Nigerians packing! South Africa must do the same, this Nigerians are bloody f#&*$$ terrorists!

Thank U Pres Obama! Now send all Nigerians home!

jealousy can make people sound so stupid sometimes! especially some of these backward terrorists from that third world, filthy, overcrowded hot place called Nigeria!!

Just because our team didn't qualify does not mean we don't want to watch fellow African teams.

Afcon Cup TV blackout?
LLOYD GEDYE | JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA - Jan 06 2010 16:16


With just three days to go to the kick-off of the African Cup of Nations, it is unclear whether South Africans will be able to watch Africa’s premier soccer spectacle on television.

The Mail & Guardian has established that the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) is still in negotiations with SportFive on whether it will screen the soccer tournament.

At the heart of the negotiations lies the disputed R1-billion contract that the SABC is reported to have signed with SportFive for the TV rights to all games of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) for the next eight years.

Sources close to the negotiations confirmed that there was an attempt to resolve the dispute by Friday so that local soccer fans would be able to watch the tournament.

Pay TV broadcaster Multichoice has the rights to broadcast the tournament to the rest of Africa, but does not have the rights for South Africa.

However, the M&G has established that Multichoice’s sports arm Supersport has been in negotiations with the SABC regarding the dispute.

'Waiting for clarity'
The M&G is in possession of an internal SABC email in which staff are ordered to cease all reference to the African Cup of Nations event.

“We are waiting for clarity regarding the broadcast of this event,” states the email.

A second internal SABC email states that the decision is legally binding and that no contact should be made with officials of SportFive.

Sources at the public broadcaster told the M&G this week that the national broadcaster has pulled all promotion of the tournament following legal advice.

“It was our lawyers who decided we shouldn’t promote the tournament because it would look like we are agreeing that we do have a contract,” said an SABC source.

SABC spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago said on Wednesday that the broadcaster was still negotiating with SportFive and that no decision had been made about broadcasting the tournament.

“Negotiations may go either way, so we don’t want to preempt them,” said Kganyago.

The contract was signed in late 2008 by the SABC’s group executive for content enterprises, Mvuso Mbebe, who has since been suspended by the broadcaster.

The contract was flagged by the SABC’s interim board that picked up that the previous board had not approved the deal.

The interim board felt that the price paid for the contract was excessive and made attempts to renegotiate it.

At the time, interim board member Leslie Sedibe said it was “shocking” that such huge sums were agreed to in the contract when it would be difficult to recoup the costs because Bafana Bafana would not be playing in the tournament.

However, in December last year, SportFive took the SABC to court in France, demanding that it pay up.

The French court dismissed SportFive’s case, stating that the matter could not be dealt with under the French civil code as the SABC was contesting the validity of the contract and whether or not it had been properly authorised by the SABC board.

Sedibe said that the ruling allowed the broadcaster to reopen negotiations with SportFive.

“We believe that we can resolve the issues through negotiations, rather than deal with this through the courts,” said Sedibe.

However, the M&G understands that SportFive intends contesting the court judgement.

@excellent: good point, I don't see anything funny about this!

Yes indeed we're a true democratic state! We have space for traditionalists! The question is I never hear people laughing at the Saudi King who have more than 3 wifes! This is democracy at work, want to marry 10 wives its okay! Want to marry another man its okay!

I don't see the fuuny side of this!
