Light years? You're not serious.

My opinion here is...

It shouldnt be about who is bigger or not. It's good you have drawn attention to the hate going on towards Nigerians though in south Africa. Even though it happens especially in many of the African countries.

People are always quick to say it's because of Nigerian's reputation in these countries. I used to hold a similar view. But that changed. Many don't experience this things first hand.

I can beat my chest to say as many criminal elements as they are in south Africa they are double or triple of the numbers who do legal business/work and are law abiding in these countries. (I speak about other African countries as well) So why stereotype people based on the negatives? Even when a lot more of this people contribute to the development of these countries and their economies.

Nigeria has a huge population and has both the good, bad and ugly in abundance. You can't always just take the bad just because you want to castigate these people. Most times people see only what they want to see.

Countries like China, India etc also have bad reputations in fraud, corruption, crime etc and are usually even given free access to operate without checks in these countries. Why is no one hating on them? Is it because they aren't seen as "competitors"?

If any Nigerian is found guilty of any crime he should be prosecuted based on the country's law. Are all Nigerians in south Africa criminals? Of course not so why hate every one of them just because a few are criminal oriented? And then they go to even extreme measures to persecute and stigmatize the innocent involved.

Let's even look at it... If people are corrupt, fraudulent and criminals which is the reputation being painted of Nigerians is the right attitude hate towards them?

I think they is more to this hatred than the excuse been put forward... Maybe, it's a case of calling a dog a bad name to hang it.

Europe and America has way more Nigerians living there why aren't they facing the same level of hate as from African countries.

Ghana is another country filled with a different level of hate towards Nigerians but I guess nobody is talking about them because they are "slow poisons" as they usually aren't openly antagonistic!

Yes, but the hate for Nigerians is explicitly clear and different from African Xenophobia.

South Africa has one of the worst cases of violence and crime...

In the world. They have one of the highest murder rates in the world. All of these perpetuated by south African themselves.

I bet they hate themselves too!

It's envy. South Africa major cities are not safe. Their people are just wicked. They just use the hate for Nigerians to cover up their social vices.
Nigerians there are doctors, engineers etc. The hate is mainly done by their men , same with Kenya, they hate Nigerians.
In terms of natural resources, Nigeria is richer than south Africa.
If the British left Nigeria like maybe in the late 90s, Nigeria could have been like other European countries.
Because the British will make the area like home.
A wise Nigerian should avoid south Africans were ever they find themselves.
Such kind of people never wish Nigerians good.

I cannot just rationalize the basis of the HATE that South Africans have for Nigeria. I cannot, and the hate is vicious, widespread and deep.

The South Africans claim Nigerians commit crimes in their country; but the hate they ooze is beyond what crimes can cause. Assuming Nigerians commit crimes, the SA police should arrest and prosecute the criminals. Why resort to hate the whole country?

Besides, there are less than 40,000 Nigerians in South Africa. How is it that such few immigrants can cause national hate. Why don't Zimbabwe, Namibia and Botswana ooze such deep hate? Evidently the "crimes" excuse cannot hold, even more so, because there are ×10 more Nigerians in the US, UK, Germany, Canada; yet those countries don't ooze such deep hate. It is a fact that Nigerians are the most educated and the most successful immigrants all over the world. Nigerian immigrants- doctors, IT experts, lecturers, engineers, etc are doing well all over the world. Then what is different with South Africa?

Let me now explain. South African's hate for Nigerians is because of ENVY or JEALOUSY. This is the fact. They are INSECURE around Nigerians, becsuse we are more energetic and have the drive to achieve our goals. Envy & insecurity are the issues and we know.

Well, let me be clear for posterity sake that South Africa is NOT a competitor to Nigeria, in any aspect. We don't see them as competitors. We know our place as the NO.1 Black nation on earth. This is undisputable.

Hating Nigeria would not stop our shine. Nigeria is Africa's GIANT, we are the LEADER of the Black race, we are BIGGER and GREATER that South Africa. These are FACTS and the earlier the South Africans make peace with it, the better for them.

No amount of hate can put SA over NGR. It would never happen my people. Nigeria fought for the independence of many African countries, including South Africa.

It is funny that Southies, who as recently as 1990s, were still being colonized in Africa, want to claim leadership of a continent that precedes them. That is the delusion that brings hate. Nigeria did not liberate South Africa to come and compete with us over the leadership of Africa. That's not why we liberated you.

Besides, in terms of the leadership of Africa, countries like Ethiopia and Algeria rank higher than South Africa. And they don't have the need to compete with Nigeria or hate us. They are secure in themselves.

Crimes or no crimes, let South Africans stop their senseless hate for Nigeria. We don't see them as competitors, and they don't qualify as one.

Even the Indians who are competitors to China do NOT ooze such hate for the Chinese.

The Japanese who suffered two atomic explosions do NOT ooze such hate for Americans.

The Ukrainians who are fighting a Russian invasion don't ooze such hate for Russians.

Only South Africans ooze vicious hate over nothing. And even, the hate is not directed at the white people who butchered their fathers and who control 78% of their land. Cowardly South Africans cannot challenge their white lords, but they can hate Nigerians who fought to free them.

Today, I say ENOUGH is ENOUGH. Every Nigerian must now rub it in the face of Southies that we are a bigger and a greater nation. Yes, we have problems, but so does every country. And we haven't run to SA to complain. We are happy with our problems and we would solve them.

Lastly, the South African government has a responsibility to educate their people on Nigeria's effort to save them from brutal apartheid. Educate your stupid people. That is the responsibility of the South African govt. If they choose not to, or if they deny Nigeria's sacrifices, then they do themselves a disservice. The world knows the TRUTH, even if South Africa hides/denies it.

Every South African must satisfy himself that Nigeria is, was, and will always be the bigger and greater nation. And there are no competitors. Even if there are, they would be Ethiopia and Algeria who are both bigger than SA. South Africans should stop hating.
