but Ghana did theirs in 1967, put it in ur pipe and smoke it.

Both Nigeria and Ghana arent xenophobic though. Only the governments were, but I wonder what would have happened had the foreigners insisted in staying, maybe a genocide

segzyj:
So, what is the correlation between the two here?

blaming foreigners for your shot comings.

xreal:
.Nigerians didn't go about hunting them or their properties down.

SA is a disgrace.

yes, and it was the government not People behind in the xenophobia.

xenophobia is very topical these days due to the unfortunate events in SA.

LOME, Togo, Feb. 1— Tens of thousands of hungry and impoverished people who have been expelled from Nigeria hurried today along the seaside road that leads to the frontier with ghana at the edge of this normally quiet West African capital. The refugees, expelled for economic and political reasons by Nigeria, passed through Lome in taxis, cattle trucks and on foot, most of them men in their 20's, many of them carrying a single suitcase as they walked along the Atlantic coastal road. Some two million unskilled foreign workers living illegally in Nigeria were ordered to start leaving by Monday. At least half of them were Ghanaians, and others were from Mali, Chad, Niger, Upper Volta, Benin and Togo. Under international and African pressure, President Shehu Shagari of Nigeria extended the expulsion deadline for skilled foreigners, mostly schoolteachers, until March 1. President Shagari announced the expulsions Jan. 17, saying the foreigners were the cause of economic problems and religious and racial unrest. 16 Reported to Have Died In Lagos, the Nigerian capital, at least 16 people were reported to have died as a result of the forced exit. Six people drowned in the Lagos harbor Monday night trying to climb aboard overcrowded ships leaving for Accra, ghana 's capital. Ten refugees were said to have starved to death. At the frontier, Togolese guards let the refugees pass by the thousands without a check. A hundred yards away, by a concrete arch with the words ''Welcome to ghana '' in large letters, Ghanaian border guards appeared to be making only cursory inspections of the refugees as they entered. As one truck carrying perhaps 50 refugees crossed the border, the Ghanaians cheered -but not loudly, more in relief than joy. A boy waved a small Ghanaian flag from the back of the truck. http://www.nytimes.com/1983/02/02/world/by-land-and-sea-they-stream-from-nigeria.htm

u can just imagine. Very sad

So sad how africans do these things to one another, simply shameful.

overhypedsteve:
wat do you mean by that. He was actually racists? But did he or did he not stand against the italian colonialists, did he or did he not retain his freedom while doing this ( mandela couldnt even free himself from prison and we re to believe he freed your black south african,primitive a55es?) did emperor Haile not give africans in ethiopia a fighting chance, while the blacks in south africa were at that same time pampering the a55 of their white overlords?
Did Mandela not call for the help and support of african leaders during the apathied struggle? was he not a liability to africa?
Did he not receive guest visits from african leaders that have made better contribution to african unity and development (olusegun obasanjo).
When nigerian and african leaders were busy creating dvelopmental programs and institutions that will move africa forward your nelson mandela was busy battling with women and tobaculosis, where was he when NEPAD was created? Where was he when AFDB was created?
Who is mandela and what did he do for africa?
so Mandela made some bunch of iliterate Blacks free including himself and we should call him the greatest man africa have ever produced?
You guys really do not know what greatness entails, to put it simply. You guys do not know anything and to that extent Africa as a whole will continue to watch and wonder why we even allowed mandela to get out of prison in the first place. I think africa would have enjoyed better trade relations with a richer and better white south africa not this caricature black south africa with self esteem issues.

Damn,

So how does all that invalidate my comment?

Will current xenophobia is SA, let us remember the other notorious xenophobic event of the past.

You drunk early this friday?

Mandela was the greatest South African.

He is NOT the greatest African, he fought for his own local people in South Africa as a country, he NEVER fought for Africa as a continent, the rest of Africa was already free while Mandela was coming out of jail...thanks to the other Africans like Obasanjo of Nigeria who fought to save Mandela from premature death in the jaws of the apartheid masters.

Greatest African? Where would you put Kmawe Nkrumah, Nnamdi Azikwe the Zik Of Africa, Haile Selasie of Ethiopia who made a country that would never be colonized in black Africa?

You don't know difference between country achievement and a continental achievement.....maybe you even think that Africa is a a country and South Africa is its national capital.

Mumu, your Southie government BEE program has given free laptop and internet to an olodo like you
.

haili was actually racists towards are non-cushitic African. He was also a proponent of the racists hemetic theory.

agaugust:
Your fellow South African is telling you the bitter truth below :

morpheus24 is actually Nigerian.

morpheus24 is actually Nigerian.

Someone is clearly trying to devide Africans, what's with all the fake news?

He's Mozambican, the other one south African.

Horus:
I post according to the topic of the video, and the one I just posted clearly show the word "xenophobia" in the topic according to the person who uploaded the video on Youtube

From the other thread you know that the video is showing criminals being lynched and set ablaze for murder, not xenophobia as claimed.

Goma - Nineteen people, including a woman, were killed in a machete attack in a region of the Democratic Republic of Congo that has been repeatedly attacked by Ugandan rebels, according to an updated death toll on Thursday. "We deplore the deaths of 18 people plus a pregnant woman, who was beheaded," Amisi Kalonda, administrator of the Beni area where the attack took place, told AFP. In all, nine of the victims were beheaded, he added. On Wednesday, Kalonda had reported five dead in the attack in Mbau, around 30km from the town of Beni in DRC‘s eastern North Kivu province. North Kivu borders Uganda and Rwanda. Kalonda said the victims were killed "as they were going to work in the fields" on Wednesday morning. Kalonda blamed the attack on rebels from the Allied Democratic Forces and National Army for the Liberation of Uganda (ADF-NALU). The rebels, who have been active in eastern DRC since being driven out of their homeland in 1995, are suspected of a spate of machete massacres in the Beni area since late last year that have killed around 300.

Harare - A law that makes it a
jailable offence to criticise
Zimbabwean President Robert
Mugabe is "reasonable" and
must remain on the statute
books, Vice President
Emmerson Mnangagwa was
quoted as saying on
Thursday.
Section 96 of the Criminal
Code "seeks to guarantee the
right to dignity", Mnangagwa
said in legal papers quoted by
the official Herald newspaper.
Dozens of locals have been
arrested under the anti-insult
laws .
The Constitutional Court ruled
in 2014 that the laws should
be struck off the statute
books.
However, the ruling was
judged to only apply to
Zimbabwe's previous
constitution, which was
replaced at a referendum in
March 2013.
Police have continued to
arrest people for insulting
Mugabe.
In one recent case, a man
was arrested in December 2014
for "shouting unprintable
words" about the president at a
shopping centre in
Chikombedzi, southern
Zimbabwe.
A case was brought earlier
this year by several journalists
to have the laws declared
unconstitutional in terms of the
new constitution.
The Herald said that
Mnangagwa, who is also
Zimbabwe's justice minister,
argued that the law "foster[s]
responsible journalism" and
must remain on the statute
books.
Many Zimbabweans believe
Mnangagwa, who became vice
president in December, is now
firmly in line to succeed
Mugabe, although the president
hinted in February that it was
not necessarily the case.
Zimbabwean Twitter user @
tmn263 said on Thursday: "VP
Mnangagwa defends criminal
defamation.... if he becomes
prez we are doomed."

morpheus24:
Here! here!

I can imagine the grin on Morpheus' face, thinking, I've been telling them about these people all these years.

Horus:
Yes, and what was my answer?. Is it not South Africans killing people?. Some of their Xenophobic attacks are more gruesome than what you see in this video.

So why not rather post those if they're available as you say.

If the footage reported as xenophobic is actually showing people being lynched for murdering a child for instance, that at least gives people the context of the brutality.

and the man set ablaze happened during the 2008 violence, which shows that the current xenophobia should have been dealt with than and not allowed to rear it's ugly head again.

RACIST WHITES AS USUAL HAVE CLAIMED AFRICAN VICTORY


http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/14/south-africas-ageing-white-mercenaries-who-helped-turn-tide-on-boko-haram

They have no shame, moronic bastards, why do white people hate us so much?

EVarn:
Indeed,the normal discontent between black south african citizens and other black foreigners has been harnessed by an elusive third party to orchestrate riots and violent attacks,with an ultimate goal of ruining SA's economy,political standing in the comity of nations{especially Africa},and destabilize the nation,thereby making it an armed failed state like Libya.This was how ISIS started,and due to corruption and lack of political will,SA find itself impotent to the plight of its national stability.SA's political structure is highly compromised.

And add the fact that race relation are at an all time low after a campaign by EFF to vandalize statues of heroes of the white minority and forcefully occupy land, the EFF leader was accused by African intelligence blog of working for the CIA.

EVarn:
South Africa on the cusp of anarchy!
Deadly xenophobic assaults have risen in frequency since the beginning of this year,sparking continental outrage as dozens of black foreigners have been killed or wounded in several staged mob attacks,while thousands have been displaced,the new spate of xenophobic attacks comes after a zulu monarch and the son of the South African president made calls for the immediate evacuation of foreigners from the country,thereby escalating the budding conflict.
It is indeed curious that the recent attacks comes at a time when the south african ministry for finance confirmed that the country had converted over half its reserves from US dollars to Chinese yuan,also highlighting shift of monetary policy from foreign transaction in dollars to foreign transaction in yuan.Interesting enough,this new brazen government monetary policy embarked upon by the South African government has sparked "silent discontent" between the US and SA.

There's clearly a third force behind all this, the same thing happened in 2008 when the then president Mbeki was at loggerheads with TPTB, 2008 was also the year the electricity crises started, than it all went back to normal like nothing had happened. This year the same thing, electricity crises and xenophobic violence.

Anyway, they should just give in to the American demands or the problem will escalate.

omoharry:
ItHINK IS THE BETTER THE AFRIKAANS TAKE OVER

The first thing they'll do is chase all foreigners, and keep the borders locked, they're just as hateful, how many foreigners were there during apartheid.

SirShymexx:
Those pictures are real, brev. And all the Zim and SA chics I know have been spamming them all over Instagram since it started - with their own opinions on what is going based on what their relatives back home told them.

They can't be lying, can they? The whole madness is deeper than what emotional impulses can understand. Then you have got condescending African immigrants who never take time to study the history of whatever environment they find themselves in - hence most of them don't know how to act.

Anyway, R.I.P to dead and be safe.

Ok bro,
But the gruesome images are unrelated to current events or south African, one is even an violent attack in Nigeria.

People are just recycling the same pictures, they probably just Googled random violent pictures from the web posted them as showing the xenophobic violence.

I'm sure you've seen the one in the link below about a strike that took place in 2014 which turned violent, nothing to do with xenophobia.

strikes turns violent

seems you're the only that knows that no Nigerian has been killed YET

morpheus24:
I propose they evacuate all Nigerians out of the country and in retaliation ban all South African multi national companies from operating in Nigeria and revoke all licences

In addition ban all South African artists scheduled to perform any where in Africa and all SA workers and send them back home to SA

BOycott all South African products.

BOYCOTT SAA airlines

BOY COTT Shoprite


All other affected African countries should follow suite.

In the words of my guy 9ice_ LEts go there!

Compared to the 2008 violence, do you think the situation is worse or as bad?

I've already addressed that video it happened in march, those aren't foreigners' here the original SABC report about that incident on youtube. https://youtube.com/watch?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C6986998469

This article below explains where the video comes from.

true story of shocking "xenophobic" Video revealed http://m.news24.com/news24/SouthAfrica/News/True-story-of-shocking-xenophobic-attack-video-revealed-20150411

"The video was seized upon on social media on Saturday morning as evidence of the violence against foreign nationals this week as xenophobic tension in South Africa rises, but the truth behind the footage is quite different. The video appears to relate to an incident in Rustenburg in March and there is no suggestion the victims of the horrifying attack were foreigners."

SirShymexx:
I have seen some of those pictures, and a few of them were posted by my Zimbabwean and SA friends.

Regardless, didn't Nigerians also kicked all Ghanaians out of naija at one time cos Ghanaians were also allegedly taking all their jobs? The only difference is that Nigerians never had to go through the generational dehumanisation that South Africans went through - else they probably would have lynched some Ghanaians as well. And there are still tons of Ghanaians from that era who will never forgive Nigerians for that.

Anyway, I don't support the madness - just pointing out human nature. Regardless, ANC needs to grow some balls and sort these folks out. That is their country and they deserve more than those Afrikaans and other white folks controlling everything.

Post them and I'll show a link to their source, unrelated to what's happening now, some are as old 2008.

justwise:
@osystein

Please stop reporting posts and asking me to remove them because according to you the story or images are fake. I have seen some of those images on my facebook pages posted by my SA and Zimbabwean friends, i have seen news clips about the barbaric killings.

It has been reported by BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-32332744, stop denying the obvious.

Dude, there's xenophobia, but the images are fake. They're not related to what's happening I showed you a link to their source, totally unrelated. The story about ten Nigerians dead is false, check any reputable news agencies.

Notyourb1tch:
Let me get this straight. So burning a group of people has now been termed Vigilantism. Seriously? That's murder. I hope you don't believe this nonsense yourself. Those people should be jailed. Whether they are foreigners or not is besides the point. Irrespective of what they did, nobody should be burned period. Why were they not jailed instead? I am just amazed at the way some people think. This is quite disturbing to be honest.

Yes its wrong, but those are not foreigners as being claimed by many, that was my point.

SirShymexx:
@OP

Interesting POV you have got there and I understanding where you are coming from. I saw some of those savagely and barbaric pictures - and they brought back memories of Apartheid South Africa. At least, it is always refreshing to see someone having an opinion without emotional impulses.

Anyway, I blame Nelson Mandela for how most of those South Africans are. Those folks went through some of the most dehumanising experience ever. And after apartheid ended, they should have rehabilitated these people properly, move them up the ladder economically - before even letting other folks in. That is a scar that will take more than one generation to wipe off. But he never did that, all in his bid to be the "father of Africa" - alas he also settled for useless deal with the whites. Thus leaving those no too better off than they were under apartheid. The cumulative anger is what is happening today. Then you can't absorb African immigrants from how a lot of them are always condescending in other countries - their relationship with African Americans is a classic example. The holy grail is that AAs were sanitised with Afrocentricism and black power movement, before Africans started moving there in droves - hence they have never been xenophobic. So, it is a two way street - with fundamental problems on both sides.

And to those making it a black thing - stop it. Poverty hasn't even returned to Europe, and far right groups are increasing at an alarming rate. Let poverty return and see if they won't be worse than South Africans. The UK is a classic example...the country is calm cos blacks don't really take no one's job and the population of black people in total can't be more than 3%. There is a reason why it is like that. But the angst building gradually against Muslims and EU nationals - it can get ugly as well.

Shymmex, the barbaric images are fake, check their sources with imageraider or Google reverse image search. They're just random pics from the net, don't believe everything you See,
see my other posts and threads and see their source.
