They are expecting south Africans to be like Northerners?.
No it's not like Hausa's who lives in South like slaves and treated southerner like King in the north, Ghanaians also are preparing to chase away the ungrateful southerners from their country

[b][/b]She lamented the non-implementation of the early warning mechanisms earlier agreed upon by both countries to prevent such incidents, stressing the need for South Africa to take the arrangement seriously.
Any lives lost in SA na Sara... no case..
Infact they'd deliberately release any suspect on bail as long as na Nigerian dem kill..
Even the system don't like us.
Anything u see on national TV btw both govts na smokescreen.

SuperEagles:
Ayo came to visut Austin in his shop and were both killed in Austin shop by 3 men hilding guns.

We all know who bear Austin in Nigeria.

His name is Austin Adeleke. Don't get ahead of yourself Mr Bulabadeen..

If this is it our citizens are to blame but if proven to be xenophobia, our country can engage S.A with diplomacy. But personally i wouldn't advise
Nigerians to remain in that country for whatever reason.

22o62021:
I like how you are in exposing their nyash


Nigerians exported their cultism issue to another man's land and start killing themselves.

Just because a yoruba guy has been killed now
They. Are now talking.

If it was. An. Igbo guy

Abike wouldn't be concerned

FGN. do something, innocent lives are being wasted on bogus charges.

What do you suggest or recommend FG do?

The same south Africa that took Israel to ICC?

That country is foolish.

ICC is a court that allows fair hearing for the accused. It’s not an outright condemnation for any country when brought before the court.
When taken there you get discharged and acquitted if you are innocent. However, in the case of the terrorists state of Isreal they are threatening to commit genocide and they are active stops carryout the act of broad daylight genocide

Isreal has become a stain on the collective conscience of our generation.

This is so saddening

Their families will be in great pain

KingCold:
Honest question.. name one country that will accept criminal behavior from outsiders.. just one..

Obviously none. You don't need outsiders to add to your problems.

I don’t know much about what’s going on in South Africa, but I’m hoping you can help clarify something for me.

When it comes to crimes committed by immigrants in South Africa, is it true that Nigerians are responsible for the most? Are there actually more Nigerians involved in illegal activities than those doing positive things?

I understand that people often get judged by the bad things others in their community do, rather than the good, but do you honestly believe that most Nigerians living in South Africa are involved in crime?

I’m asking out of genuine curiosity and have no other motive. Please feel free to ignore this if it’s something you’d prefer not to respond to.

Ironfaceman:
Black southafricans are very myopic. May be because they now lick white man's ass so they think they are better people.

You're the myopic one here.. everything na "xenophobia" forgetting how problematic your people are in foreign lands ..

As for the rest, you only need to observe who calls white people "masters" between us and you

They will not get justice
Even lucky dube never get justice till date
South Africa no be country

No sane human being should be travelling to South Africa or USA
Wey guns full everywhere

This is quite painful.


How mny more Nigerians have to die on South African soil before someone calls this what it really is? How long can we pretend this is a string of isolated incidents and ot part of a systemic failure—or worse, a coordinated silence around the brutalization of Africans by Africans?

It’s not enough for South African police to “launch investigations” after the fact. The bigger question is: Where are they when the violence starts? Why do these so-called investigations always begin after a Nigerian is lynched, shot, or mysteriously disappears? Who exactly are they protecting—citizens or syndicates?

Over the years, South Africa has built a dangerous reputation. Nigerians, Zimbabweans, Mozambicans—many of them legal immigrants—have been attacked in broad daylight. Their shopsburned. Their lives threatened. Their dignit stripped. And in many of these instances, police are either suspiciously absent, slow to act, or accused of outright complicity.

Let’s talk about the “early warning mechanisms” that were agreed upon between Nigeria and South Africa after previous waves of xenophobic attacks.

What happened to those? Why haven’t they been implemented? Why does it seem like each agreement is just a PR stunt to pacify outrage until the next tragedy hits?

If South Africa has committed to protecting immigrants, why does the violence continue—and escalate? Is thisd a failure of law enforcement, or an intentional blind eye? Are elements within the police force silently backing the mobs? Worse stil are there criminal syndicaates that have infiltrated state structures, targeting immigrants under the pretense of “Drug crackdowns” or “anti-crime operations”?

These questions aren't conspiratorial—they're grounded in years of patterns. Patterns where Nigerian-owned businesses are looted. Patterns where unprovoked attacks on foreigners are shrugged off as “community anger.” Patterns where state silence is louder than any condemnation.

The Nigerian government, through NIDCOM and the Ministry of Foreignm Affairs, has offered condolences and called for calm. But condolences don’t bring justice. Condolences don’t deter the next attack. If South Africa wants to claim any moral credibility, then its institutions—especially its police—must show they are not part of the problem.

Dem never do anything about herdsmen and you're waiting for action over South Africa?😂

Um. No... Nigerians are mostly into drug dealing, human trafficking, and scams...and lately I often hear a lot about ritualist stories involving Nigerians..

Zimbabweans, sighs...they're a thorn...they're involved in carjackings, robberies, bombing of ATMs, murders, rapes, vandalism of infrastructure, etc you name it..

Mozambicans steal cars cross them across the border.. they rape, they muder.. etc..

Somalians are a growing problem as well..

The Congolese, Ghanaians, Zambians etc ..tend to be peaceful ones.

And I'm most saying South africans are saints here, we make the bulk of criminals because it's our country , but there's significant chaos brought upon by illegal immigration in South Africa, to an extent that some of our prisons have more foreigners than locals.. but outsiders looking in call everything Xenophobia

Bruv stop the cap.. nobody's attacking your people here.. I'm telling you right now, a lot of South Africans even avoid Johannesburg CBD because we feel outnumbered by foreigners there... you sit there in Kaduna and point fingers, speculate on things you have no clue of

Lucky Dube's killers were arrested ions ago.. and they were foreigners..

It’s misleading to say “nobody’s attacking your people.” South Africa has a long, documented history of xenophobic attacks—especially targeting Nigerians. In 2008, over 60 people were killed in anti-immigrant riots. In 2015, seven more died in similar violence. These are facts, not speculation.

In 2019, shops owned by Nigerians were looted in Johannesburg, and in some cases, Nigerians were beaten or burned alive. Groups like Operation Dudula have publicly campaigned to remove foreigners, often violently, while police have been accused of either watching or participating in these abuses.

Human Rights Watch and other international bodies have published reports confirming these patterns of violence and systemic discrimination. This is not just fear—it’s reality.

Saying South Africans “avoid the CBD because of foreigners” only proves the atmosphere of tension and scapegoating. Nigerians don’t feel safe in many areas because past attacks have gone unpunished, and early warning systems agreed between both governments have failed.

This isn’t about “feeling outnumbered”—it’s about actual bloodshed and intimidation that authorities have failed to stop. These aren't rumors.

They're recorded events backed by deaths, arrests, and global concern. Ignoring them is part of the problem. So no, I won't stop the cap! Lets talk Facts

Nice one will are too foolish to think that this people want or need us in anyway instead of pouring to their country now see where our stupidity as land, god bless them for their great work very soon will go get sense.

I understand.

You really need to do something about your borders.

It's just sometimes very painful to see the hate for Nigerians online that you'll think every Nigerian that has migrated is into crime.

okomile:
When economy too better for naija, jaapa troops to come back

RIP to the fallen men

It has nothing to do with economy, we have Americans in Nigeria, Shay their economy bad too

Since you know better than me, while you're over there, and I'm here. There's really no point arguing.. keep believing your people are being persecuted

WizardOfNG:
How is he right? Did you not note his conclusion, shown below, that makes it obvious his focus is on attaching blame to Yorubas alone over ongoing events in Ghana and Lagos?

What does the Eze of Ghana idiocy have to do with Yorubas? Should Yorubas not rightly agree he offended Ghanaians with his antics?

How are Yorubas not allowing peace to reign in Lagos?If we get into the issue from the perspective of the many incendiary things Igbos alone, of over 300 ethnic groups in the State, are doing, then we'd be here for months !!

Yet he introduced those unrelated situations here to shade Yorubas.

You lot should learn to be fair and objective. He should be called out for his malevolent obsession with trying to make Yorubas the objects of blame over every issue. At his age, the man can't even discuss any topic without mentioning Yorubas negatively. Na wetin sef?

The Eze himself had a press conference where he stated thst there was no time he bought land for a kingdom that no one builds a kingdom in anthoer man's land. There is no basis for you to even make reference to it, because it was used with the intention to sow hatred between Nigerians and Ghanaians.

I always say it, Yoruba and Igbo are two endangered species outside Nigeria, once there's attack on Nigeria.

Forget, that the two tribes always at logger head. Once, this two tribes leave the country...........their focus is one thing, though different methods.

Dear Commentator I dare say If being "there" makes you blind to your own backyard's bloodstains, then geography isn’t your strength—it's your excuse. Silence in the face of violence is complicity, not wisdom.

KingCold:
Honest question.. name one country that will accept criminal behavior from outsiders.. just one..

Not a single one, hence why I support deporting the bulk of them except for the diplomats of course. But South Africans making their country seem like the safest in Africa is just a joke.

Lionessza6:
The main question is ; what as who is killing Nigerians in South Africa why are you people not entertaining the most important part that your own consulate general and leaders in South Africa have confirmed 🤔

How do you know when any thread concerning Nigerians in SA is posted? Abeg pity our country small na 😂😂😂😂

Lionessza6:
The usual bait thread meant for the un-exposed,less- thinking but emotional Nigerian populace who are one of the most research-handicapped populations in Africa...courtesy of their leaders defunding their higher learning institutions

You are a decieftful and manipulative people. Why are you not telling us what and who is killing the Nigerians in South Africa?. We need the full story not some cut and join stories meant for the weak minded.

The US, with all its gun violence won't allow half of the nonsense we allow in Sa .

And nobody said SA was the safest country boss.. that doesn't mean, that an Adewale from Kaduma can come here and do as he please.. it doesn't work that way.. even war torn countries have laws
