It could also mean the economy improved in those G20 countries. India's economy is booming and the UK delivered Brexit.

In summary,you supported the xenophobic attacks ! What a shame 😤

Argh shame, SA is a dream killer! I've never heard South Africans cry their dream is to go to Nigeria.
That's a big lie, I have few SA female friends that wants to visit here,one is even considering the idea of relocating on permanently. Hippocrate

So no facts?! 🤷🏽‍♂️

No major successful companies in SA?🤷🏽‍♂️

Just beer parlours, brothels, drug dens and yahoo cafes? 🤷🏽‍♂️

And that's what we envy?🤷🏽‍♂️
An average SA are full of envy and inferiority complex,one of my friends over there gist me a lot about the way her evil families envy her for nothing,tho she's an orphan.an indigene of SA for that matter, from the Zulu tribe. You guys needs serious purging

You are slow as well else you would have decipher that the person speaking is learned.


You think it's harder to get into SA than US, UK or Canadahuh

The same destinations your country people are applying and trying hard to get in?

It's easiest to get into SA. High value Nigerians don't just want to come there
This is true. Outside of people employed by companies HNI Nigerians are not attracted to SA.

How will Dey regulate the social media?
Regulate companies like X and FB. Simple. Simply instruct ISP to bar those sites. You can still get in via VPN but the effect is like being in a large room talking to yourself.

But he is an outsider since he's a Zimbabwean.

Will you be okay with your next door neighbor coming to your house and doing as he pleases by claiming that it's his house too?

And why is it that you guys in Nigeria are failing to accept and love each other's tribes and live in unity as one, but you expect South Africans to accept and love all other African nationals even the illegal ones?
Why does it appear as if SA men hate Nigerians?

How many undocumented foreigners are in the EU or Australia, probably even less numbers but they're sinking you off boats in the Mediterranean sea.
Bro, so much energy on the thread, you are really trying for your country, hopefully you get some sort of medal for all the online battling you are doing here.

Yes, nigeria is a very poor county when looked at as a whole. But lets say for example 75 percent is extremely poor, 15 percent is lower middle income 7 percent is higher middle income and 3 percent is wealthy.That 10 percent of middle income and wealthy nigerians is over 20 million people, thats almost half your countrys population, This group of people making over 100K USD per year and above need holidays, and they are spending. Go check morroco, qatar, tunis, egypt seychelles, etc nigerian genuine tourist who come for a few days and spend alot of tourist dollars. I know for example 5 of my female cousins from SE formed a travel group and leave nigeria every 3 or 4 months to a location they can easily travel to for holiday, their christmas holiday is booked to tanzania. SA could be benefiting from these tourist groups. Your visa process should be made very easy for people of a certain income bracket, you only need about 0,1 percent of this 20million nigerians to shake up your countries tourism industry. Your country is seen from not a Top point of view for eu and american tourist because of security issues, but fellow africans would look past those issues.

A few years ago in South Asia, while I was out partying in a pub, I was literally the only black guy there and the security guys brought this Xhosa SA girl to me to tell me she had consumed a lot and was unable to pay for the drinks, She claimed she came with a local who asked her to take whatever she wanted but the guy went to the toilet and never came back. I was asked to pay for the girls drinks or the police would be called and she would be jailed. I did. When I was leaving she told me also had no transport to go home, and even her rent was expired, she was about to be thrown out, she had no where to go, her date was her last hope. I told her I would investigate her claims and let know. I did and she wasnt lying, she was working for a school through an agent who 30 percent of her very poor salary. And literaaly could barely make it every month. I got her a new job at my yankee friends international school, then paid her house rent for 2 months with the deposit. I always used to invite her to eat out with my wife and kids, and everytime even though she was a big fan of Nollywood, she never stopped venting out about how much she didnt trust nigerians. The irony is, I never told her I was nigerian, only talked about my eu passport.

And most nigerians in the diaspora will not want to travel to any country that disrespects nigerians, Im one of them.

You guys need to change this archaic mindset. Here in Nigeria, nobody discriminates and in fact, we consider every black person we see as Nigerian. Nobody has the ample time to start looking for who is Nigerian and who is not.
We don’t even disturb other nationals for their travel documents once they’ve crossed our borders.
I noticed same thing in Ghana, they’re mean just like you xenophobic South Africans . The only countries that are not guilty of this sickness are the republic of Benin, Togo, Burkina Faso (very nice ppl) Senegal (IMO and from personal experience) Why are you guys being insecure about black foreigners?

No, it reveals how ill-disciplined Nigerians are abroad. Just last week a Nigerian was been chased down the streets of India for destructive behaviour. Even in a population of 1.3 billion in India, Nigerians still have a bad reputation.
you should be ashamed of yourself that a small number of Nigerians in your country is giving you guys nightmare,a mere 24,000 NIGERIANS......I thought NIGERIANS in South Africa are many because of the constant nagging about NIGERIANS. Just hide your face in shame.

Many Nigerians bypassed with VPN


Secondly Twitter is not the only social media in the world, so it was a waste of time..

First ask yourself why does it appears like Nigerian major tribes hate each other.

There are constant tribal wars in your country... Find a solution to your country's problems before you can start pointing fingers at other countries.

South Africans always get provoked by some of your people the same way you guys provoke each other in your country.

As bad as the tribalism on nairaland is, don't get it twisted and assume that is the reality on ground. We do not have tribal wars like the constant violent xenophobia exhibited in South Africa where people are physically attacked simply because of where they are from, or what happened with the rwanda genocide where tutsis and hutus literally murdered each other.

And it is very rich of you telling us to find a solution to our country's problems when you literally spend all your time here on nairaland. Why not spend that time with your fellow South Africans or anywhere else. What is the pull to Nigerians? Why not let us be, ehn?

It is not my family business but newsflash it is a NIGERIAN site.
You all talk talk talk and complain about Nigerians, yet cannot resist crawling all over their blogs or websites. Just take a good look at yourself and ask why you crawl all over the place here. Attention seeking all the time.

Bottomline: Nigerians can do without you but you can't do without them. That's your reality.

There are around 500 thousand Nigerians in UK. We have not heard of any bad reputation there. They go to school, work as professionals, keep their noses clean. About 600 thousand NIGERIANs in U.S. no major scandals or bad reputation.
I live in Australia with about 40 thousand Nigerians. No bad reputation.
Why only south Africa? And why are you in particular so rude? Do you feel you have been a good ambassador of your country here? Do you think you are not being hypocritical because you are a well known South African bigot in a forum that is 99% made up of Nigerians. Even the second largest population in nairaland would be Ghanians
Why are you people giving that nitwit attention self?
He knows the truth but chose to be mischievous and outrightly stupid.
He's a known bigot that drives joy in hating Nigeria and Nigerians but can't afford a day outside nairaland forum that's 99% Nigerians

Re: SA Census Reveals Foreigners Make Up 3% of Population, Nigerian Numbers Down by Nobody: 11:39am On Oct 12, 2023
Your people like provoking them.

And honestly speaking, I see no use in explaining over and over again because y'all have already made up your minds that we're evil and xenophobic.

A Nigerian will come to SA and start committing illegal dealings and other Nigerians will just look and keep quiet, but immediately South Africans react, those same Nigerians who'd have witnessed their brothers committing illegal dealings will quickly rush to social media and claim xenophobia.

But if these same Nigerians commit the same illegal dealings in Nigeria, jungle justice will make sure that they're well dealt with.

You seehuh

we will have our hands full and no time to fight each other again.

met one yesterday,I didn't even know and I noticed Nigerians careless about where the person comes from....as far as they are concerned everyone is a Nigerian first.
I'm even frnds with most of them. That's how i got to knw that a part of Cameroon (anglophone) speaks english. They speak very sound nd well pronounced english. Some are even teaching in some of our private schools. Nobody even care to knw where they"re frm because we all classify them as Nigerians. We're truly the giant of Africa for a reason. No wonder most of them are jealous of Nigeria. Naturally we're risk takers. We hate comfort zone nd even though we have our challenges we're still not ashamed to say that Nigerians built Nigeria unlike some countries that where built by their white colonial masters.

That's their problem and totally their business. It's when they have the nerve to bring their hate and xenophobia right to a Nigerian forum like this that they must be put in check.

With all Nigerians have to deal with at the moment, who cares about South Africa, but they keep posting their useless threads here. So annoying.

You should be asking your people what is it that they want in SA if they don't plan on abiding by SA laws... Don't ask me what we want... And if you're scared of coming to SA, then don't come.

Mention at least five Nigerians that you know who were killed by South Africans.
