KingCold:What record. That your people are not Xenophobes. Good luck. That's like trying to convince Sad Africans that a majority of Nigerians are indeed decent people. |

seppuku:LOL, setting the record straight with all the nonsense you people.spew about my country.. this why I registered on this forum.. I'm not here because I'm interested in you peoplle As for the "xenophobe'tag, it has lost its Lustre bruv, it's become stale.. its means absolutely nothing because its overused. especially coming from a tribalist |

KingCold:speaks to your psychology mate. Why would you care or pay attention to what Nigerians say about "your" people on a Nigerian forum. It's not like it affects anything important aspect of your life. I think deep down inside you are aware that there is some truth to what is being said hence the need to respond to it. KingCold:Maybe its lost its lustre in South Africa but not around Africa I gurantee you. Nigerians are simply the ones brave and loud enough to call it out. |

seppuku:LOL.. cheap psychology, if someone speaks smack about you , you correct them, nothing deep about that. Lol, Nigerians aren't brave about anything.. you 're just adept at playing victim and are the only one so obsessed with this xenophobia tag. Bunch of tribalistic hypocrites |

KingCold:Everyone in Africa is Tribal alas in varying degrees so don't fool yoursefl Wena. Xenophobia/Afrophobia is a version of Tribalism. The only reason the tribalism you accuse others of having is not pronounced in SA is because you developed a common "enemy" and therefore had to become Ally's If they left the "mfecane" to run its cause 90% of ya'll would be Zulu's. |

seppuku:oh he' making excuses for his tribalism. How convenient!.. beng tribal and tribalistic are two different things.. Nigeria's a tribalistic hotbed, own up ..put your focus there and stop focusing on far flung South Africa |
| Re: SA Is "An Important Player" The US Cannot Ignore - Ramaphosa by seppuku: 2:30am On Mar 24, 2025 |
KingCold:Tis evident you don't know that the words Tribalism, Tribal and Tribalistic mean the same thing but are simply different grammatical forms of the same word meaning Bantu education I tell ya! |
| Re: SA Is "An Important Player" The US Cannot Ignore - Ramaphosa by KingCold: 4:24am On Mar 24, 2025 |
seppuku:hahaha.. people are tribal in nature, everyone tend to gravitate to their clique, this is how nationalism is born, this is not the same as tribalism Igwe. You can be tribal but not be tribalistic, it's really.that simple, no need to try sound smart about it, Unilag graduate |
| Re: SA Is "An Important Player" The US Cannot Ignore - Ramaphosa by seppuku: 4:50am On Mar 24, 2025 |
KingCold:Olodo. Its now tribalism not the previously stated "tribalistic" Stop shifting the goal post and try to look up the word tribalistic first neh. FYI The suffix "ism" at the end simply denotes being "in the state of " thus the conjugation TRIBAL-ISM!. You cannot be in a state of tribalism without being tribal. Mumu! Go back to school! SMH. |

seppuku:ey you love thinking you're smart neh? I swear it's s annoying because you miss the whole argument in the process of looking smarter than the next person Tribalism is a noun. Being tribalistic..is a state of being eg. Diabetes- noun Diabetic.. the state of having diabetes.. Who doesn't know this? The key here is context... I can use the word "tribal" to mean "gravitating" to what is similar or familair to you... eg... people of the same nation gravitating to each other is form of being "tribal" people of the same religion sex , etc... gravitating to each other is a form of adhering to each other's tribes. The word "tribal"used in this context has no negative connotations However The word tribalism" always comes with negative connotations because it's simply means prejudice based on tribes... like your Nigeria So please don't patronize me and puff you chest just for use of basic English, I'm certain I went to better schools than you.. try to understand what the next person is arguing before rushing to tell us to go back to schools or calling us names. You ain't all that |

KingCold:Sorry Mfethu the fact remains that if all peoples are "tribal" in nature then that point for this argument is moot. However in this case, The contention is that both peoples being mentioned here definitely practice forms or a form of tribalism. The point of contention would then be to what varying degree? Sad Africans practice tribalism. This is a fact! KingCold:You and I know what bantu education has done to ya'll. |

seppuku:1. South Africa is not beset by rampant tribalism, Nigeria is, so instead of your daily whining about the xenophobia you're not even experiencing, your focus should be that 2. And, for someone who comes from a country with such a poor education system ike Nigeria, going on and on about the so-called "Bantu education " is laughable, especially considering someone who experienced bantu education is actually miles better than the brain-dead fluff one encounters on this forum |
| Re: SA Is "An Important Player" The US Cannot Ignore - Ramaphosa by seppuku: 2:38pm On Mar 25, 2025 |
KingCold:Thank you for agreeing with me that tribalism does exist in South Africa. KingCold:There is nowhere on the face of this earth that you would pair a Nigerian with a South African student, scholar, entrepeneur or academic and the Nigerian would not come out ahead greater than 90% of the time. Stop fooling yourself. This very site you are permitted to blab on is evident of it. Show us your South African equivalence. This is the reason why a good number of your schools are deficient of such intellectual brains and have to recruit from other African countries. The effects of Bantu education are real and even if I concede that you are one of the lucky ones to escape its grasp, we well know a good chunk of your country people did not. Take that to the grave. |

seppuku:Where did I say tribalism exists in SA? Point that out. Tribalism in SA is not an issue.. there's no "Sotho must go in Xhosa dominated areas... like we see in Nigeria where every fecet of your life is contaminated with tribal bias and hate.. You even alluded to the fact that that's because we "faced a common enemy " now you're singing a different tune. . Lol, using this forum as an example majority of the People here are dumb as hell!...Using the state of your country... I mean just look at it...where's the ingenuity of your much-vaunted "smarter" populace? The ingenuity of your entrepreneurs? You're bragging of intellectual prowess that can't even lift your county from the shackles of poverty and undervelopment so what's he point? Look at how your buildings collapse everyday because you education system can't even churn out competent engineers, you need to shut up! There's absolutely nothing tangible in your country that points out to the fact, you're "smarter" more industrious" than the next country.its just typical Nigerian delusions of grandeur talking.. South Africa has the best universities in Afrlca and a higher literacy rate than Nigeria fam, you on the other hand have more people who can't read, write and count, furthermore, you have the highest number of out-of school children in the world... !! so which academics are you talking about? Nigeria's a failed state fam... they hype you're peddling fools no one Again, someone with an education system like yours is in no position to even blab about bantu education, and I still maintain our uncles who experienced that type of education are smarter an informed than the brain-dead fodder I encounter here everyday |

KingCold:Does Tribalism exist in South Africa? This is the question. Please be honest with your answer . KingCold:Calm down Mfethu don't allow your youthful exuberance to overwhelm your faculties. A bad run country does not reflect the overall ingenuity of the people from that country. If the power of fire is not harnessed properly to achieve a set goal, this does not in any way diminish the potency and innate characteristics embedded in the make-up of this element. We are far more intellectually powerful, resourceful, agile and expedient than you lot and you know this. Even the bad ones amongst are able to harness this ingenuity alas for the bad but not the less. You have been schooled improperly. KingCold:Yet we outsmart you in every professional field within and outside of Nigeria and globally. I've seen your folk debate on the world stage. Nothing to write home about. All those Univeristy graduates you have cannot kick start anything controlled by your White monopoly capital driven economy. Still waiting for BOSA and Action SA and the like to come chase out your illegal immigrant competition and revive your township economy Shame. KingCold:You are still receiving the same bantu education and you just are not intelligent enough to discern. |

seppuku:Nigeria is not ruled by outerspace aliens is it? It's ruled by the very same Nigerians fom your society...your leaders are your reflection.. Leadership after leadership same result? You."outsmart" us in your dreams.. LOL .here's the thing with you Nigerians..it's like you people exist in this alternative reality of perpetual delusion, where you self-praise, brag to feel better to the next person.. when the reality is the opposite " we are the giants of Africa "......no proof "No one's hardworking like Nigerians " = no proof "We are the smartest blacks" no proof... I've also seen Tinubu in the presence of Ramaphosa and other world leaders, he's nothing to write home about... Buhari was furniture too...stop overhyping Nigerians Those University graduates have companies, law and accounting firms, etc...not everything in SA is white..Nigerian... Oh the obsession with "bantu education" LOL.. everyone in SA is under the same curriculum Igwe... and if receiving education from.Wits University means im receiving bantu education ...I welcome it with both hands |

KingCold:Sorry my man, Bad leadership reflects just that. It cannot encompass people who have proven time and time again outside the evils of the system their true potentials KingCold:Our country is bad yes but sorry to break it to you, but our people are overwhelming not. A nationality is simply a group of people who fly a flag and pledge to unify themselves within a common identity. The natural gifts endowed on a majority of the people is a different thing. KingCold:I don't know about giants but if you are looking for proof. Its everywhere. You are just not looking. KingCold:Those two are the worst examples of a true intellectual Nigerian with one being an illiterate Fulani herdsman and the other an agbero Tout that grew up in Lagos. The laws of nature favor the most brutal of men to rise up to the epitome of power if unchecked. KingCold:We have the same in Nigeria. Many of them. Our lawyers span the globe in the same professions with high honors and the likes. KingCold:How much African history does your curriculum have I wonder cause it is very evident most of you are completely clueless of the people and continent you live in judging from my interactions with a good number of you. Some high quallity education that is neh! |
