Nigerians in UK can’t be more than 500K unlike USA that has around 2M Nigerians.
Am talking about legal and illegal Nigerians oooh,
I remember in 2017, in the N24 news, Nigerians were in top 10 highest in Germany for Aduro matter, around 35K Nigerians.
Benin Rep, Ghana, Niger Rep, CIV and Cameroon are the highest maybe around 3M each.
Benin Rep and Cameroon are still Nigeria to some people grin cheesy
USA 1.5M
UK 500K
Canada 100K
Ireland 20K
Italy 200K
Germany 100K

Can u not read? I clearly said those figures were provided by Nigerians themselves in SA.

South Africa does have the economy to support 1M+ immigrants, infact the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) estimates there are over 1.5 M Zimbabweans in SA.

SA per capita income is over $12,000 while Nigeria's is under $5,000, so why wouldn't there be 800K Nigerians in SA?



TmK South African.
More Nigerians are in US compare to another country outside Africa due to its large land mass and population. In Europe, UK has the largest number of Nigeria. In southern Africa, SA. In west Africa is Ghana. While, in central Africa. It is Cameroon. In East Africa, it is Kenya.
Nigerians in South Africa is less than 600k. Far less than that maybe 400K. I am a Nigerian that resides in SA for close to a decade. More than 60 percent of Nigerians in South Africa resides in Gauteng. In other province we have less than 10K Nigerians asides of western cape. I am writing from experience over the years in SA. I have also visited all the 9 provinces in SA. The whole population of Nigerians in Limpopo province, Northern cape, eastern cape, Free state and Mpumalanga are not up to 100k.
Many Nigerians have left SA due to it's little opportunities to non-South Africans. Difficulties in getting permit without buying it, high crime rate and xenophobic tendencies of some few Black South Africans.
Re: Which Country Has The Most Nigerian Immigrants by hallmarkacademy: 6:44pm On Jul 10, 2021

Yeah, that's about the official figure as released by the SA government. But they acknowledge there's an migration crisis of undocumented people. The Nigerian Union should be made to explain itself. But as a South African it often feels that there are indeed that many Nigerians in the country, I don'TMK,





t know, maybe it's the loudness.

TMK South Africa,
I wish Black South Africans allows Nigerians to breath in your country. Whenever I see how it is easy for you to interact here. And, I remembered How I was treated by fellow Black citizens of South Africa while studying in the University in South Africa. I think there are alot that you can do to change the mentality of those who still thinks some black people are foreigners in Africa and deserves to be treated badly. Many Nigerians do not know some Nigerians have losted Millions in the last 24 hours in Durban, South Africa as South Africans protesters have looted their shops. This is a normal occurrences here in SA. I believe Africa and Africans can only achieve their best when we love each others and not see each others as threats. I also equally condemned Nigerians engaging in illegal activities in SA.

Re: Which Country Has The Most Nigerian Immigrants by Blurpy: 6:57pm On Jul 10, 2021
Black South Africans are very primitive, they think elimination of other foreign African nationals would make SA become an eldorado. The Whites are waiting for that to even happen so they can tame and slave their stupid asses once again. Stupid cretins that don't even travel around their country to be enlightened. Always on social media complaining, every foreign African national is a Nigerian to them . Spits! Black Bofoons!

I apologize on behalf of all good South Africans that u had to endure unwarranted xenophobia while studying at one of our universities and as a guest in our country. I think you'll find that generally we appreciate lawful and law-abiding immigrants from all parts of the world, including the African continent, especially students and professionals.

As someone who lives in SA I think you can appreciate that this is not always the case in other sectors of society, especially in lower income areas including squatter camps and CBDs. You know Hillbrow, Yeoville, Berea, Sunnyside are always quoted in relation to Nigerians and bad dealings - and I welcome that u condemn those illegal activities. Its our wish in SA that more of your countrymen do likewise instead of protecting these nasty elements. My sense from Nigerians on NL is they are quick to deny these things happen and accuse South Africans of jealousy.

You mentioned your own number of possibly 400K Nigerians living in SA. In all fairness, that is a huge number of which I doubt the SA government has approved. Their own stats hover around 50K. So with scarce resources for illegal immigrants in SA, how do u reckon the rest of the 350K are making a living in SA? Yes, I'm told you are entrepreneural, which I believe is misleading in SA terms, but let's assume there are some who sell in the streets or in shops. Question is: how do they pay taxes if they are undocumented and always running from immigration officers?

You know my default position as a South African is that most of them are involved in illegal or undesirable activities, which is what Nigerians back home don't want to hear or admit. Below I've attached a news report by a Nigerian journalist who travelled to Johannesburg to "discover" the inner workings of Nigerian hustlers in the city. His findings were damning.

So I like that u sound like a rational human being whom I wouldn't mind engaging with in real life, so I hope we can be frank with one another for the benefit of your homies back home after u read this article. And again I reiterate that documented Nigerians are bound to engage in legal activities, its the rest I am more concerned about.

So is it the job of innocent Nigerians in South Africa to go after the drug dealers themselves? Why can't your handicapped SaPs go after the criminals and deport them , as easy as that, as it is done in other countries like Germany, Dubai etc Instead of leaving you guys to wail all over social media, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,now nairaland you're wailing.

[quote author=JaceBlaze post=103573235][/quote
@Phuti,
I appreciate that to an extent you balanced your submission. But, let me present these facts to Nigerians who do not know the situation of things in South Africa. Close to
80 percent of South Africans are black people.
The remaning 20 percent are mixed race called coloured people, white and minority Indian south African. The later is around 3 percent. While, white and coloured are all below 12 million. The total population of South Africans are 56 million people.
The real cause of xenophobia hatred for fellow black africans is because black South Africans cannot compete favourably in their mainstream economy.
As at 1991 least than 1 in 7 black south Africa finished secondary school. I am a member of South African Council of Educators. As I speak least than 30 percent of Black South Africans finished secondary school. Despite that government schools are free, foods are provided in schools, school uniforms are free, school shoes are provided and books are provided. Some even get Ipad for free to study. These children get child supports from government over 15k naira every month. Hospital is free. Most live in free government houses called RDP. Majority dont pay electricity and water because they are categorised at poor people.
I can list these numerous things universities students get for free. But, from what I have listed for secondary school students you should know what can be obtainable in universities environments yet less than 35 percent finish at the right time or ever finish at all.
Black South Africans's major problem is lack of discipline, laziness and lack of focuse. Do you know more than 75 percent children are born out of wedlock in South Africa? 87 percent of black ladies that are 27 years old are single mothers. Apart of South Africans been the country with the largest number of people living with HIV and Aids.
SA government is doing alot. The black folks are the one drawing the country back with their high crime rates, unfriendly attitudes to tourists and corruption in government.
How dare you say majority of Nigeria are doing illegal activities?
Your policemen and policewomen should be blame just as the few Nigerians buying drugs because they both share the proceeds of these ilegal activities.
Less I forget more than 15 percent of South Africans smokes drugs higher to marijuana.
I dont really need to give these information. But, some situations calls for it.
Black South Africans should take their place in their economy and stop blaming others they cannot compete with for their incompetence.
