That's not the main issue you people hate on Nigerian.

Go to X and see any bad news from Nigeria always delights you people

IronGalaxy:
The HIV insults are stale.. and puerile.

And they dont have the punch you think they do

Silentgroper:
Who cares About the punch or the jabs ..



I'm just to give out a vital information which seemed like it was intentionally omitted..

IronGalaxy:
why are you disliked in South Africa then? Humor me. You want to direct the narrative because the one im telling you makes you uncomfortable. Fact dont care about feelings

wiseone28:
Is it only Nigerian you people disliked?

Greenback:
With all due respect,bro,is this true?
i don't believe this!

IronGalaxy:
To enter the cities to work on the infrastructure, isn't it so?

Franking:
Not really many of their women worked as nannies, home keepers and domestic servants. The Indians came to work on their rail tracks. Of course some of the men were employed as construction workers.

SpaceX:
Nah that is not true, there is a genocide against Nigerians over there. They hate Nigerians!!!

IronGalaxy:
What's "not really"? Black labour was extensively employed in building South Africa. From the mining, industry and infrastructure, all come from the blood and sweat of the black man, which continues to this day. I'm not talking about women here

Franking:
My "not really" is because you made it seem like the only work they came in to do was only in construction and mining.....they were also emplyed as security, gardners, drivers, etc.

IronGalaxy:
But that wasn't the crux of the discussion, was it? What significance does being a gardener have as opposed to what we're talking about, and that's the main premise that Black labour built modern South Africa?

Franking:
There's no questioning that black South African sweat and blood built SA. However, without the whites SA won't be the "heaven" it is today..... building isn't all about brawn. The planning borders on ingenuity. That's my point....

IronGalaxy:
hahaha though as much.. With your beloved whites, South Africa is still not "heaven,"far from it, so what's your point? That it takes white people to get to South Africa's level?

New infrastructure in South Africa is still being built, new smart cities, others planned, high-speed trains, hospitals, universities, all under different leadership, so your point doesn't fly..

When you Nigerians talk about Black South Africans, you speak as if we're free loaders, people who just fell from as sky into a country built by others, while the opposite is true, hence i keep butressing the point that it was our sweat that built that country, and it continues to this day

Franking:
Your own point won't fly with an objective scrutiny. We already know how all black countries look..... let's not push this...blacks need "deliverance".

IronGalaxy:
I trust a Nigerian to say something like this.. decades of inept leadership has made you anti-black

IronGalaxy:
Who were we talking about? Nigerians isnt so? So stick to the topic

wiseone28:
Nothing to argue about we all know the truth

wiseone28:
The hate from Nigerian is reciprocal. Though we don't still hate you like you people do to us.

U give a sh_t when it's bad news about SA... Good SA news vexes una + your papa 😂

seppuku:
I here the same old story from African Americans and they still do not control "their" country very much like you guys. White monopoly capital does and you are a recipient of its generosity.

RandDigital:
The jacarandas are out, and honestly, it’s one of the highlights for anyone who drives the cities’ canopied streets. They add a touch of magic here that can’t be found anywhere else in SA, or at least not in the numbers that we have them in Gauteng province.

But do you know the story behind these blooming jacarandas? They’re actually not indigenous to South Africa.

They came from Brazil more than 100 years ago, Durban got the first ones in the early 1800s, and Pretoria followed in the 1880s. Two of the oldest trees still stand in Sunnyside (Pretoria) today.

When the Union Buildings (President's office, see last picture) were being built in the early 1900s, the city was also modernising its infrastructure. Old trees had to be removed to make way for new sewerage systems. Instead of leaving streets bare, the Pretoria Council handed out jacaranda saplings for free to residents. People planted them in their gardens and along pavements, and before long, entire streets bursted with purple.

That’s how Pretoria earned its nickname, Jacaranda City (picture 3)

Today there are about 65,000 mature jacaranda trees across the city. They all flower at once on bare branches, which is why the bloom always seems to come out of nowhere like a surprise. And while we might think of them as Pretoria’s pride, Johannesburg actually has even more (picture 2)

There are even rare white-flowering jacarandas near Jan Cilliers Park and Wonderboom if you know where to look.

The University of Pretoria (UP) alone is home to over 200 trees, some of which were transplanted during the Bus Rapid Transit project and are still thriving.

Jason Sampson, who heads the botanical gardens at UP, says jacarandas are some of the toughest.

Pests aren’t really partial to them, and so they’ve stood the test of time as an invasive species. They’re actually one of the few invasive species given an exclusion clause, meaning they can still be planted in urban areas. That’s why they’ve remained such an iconic part of Pretoria.

IronGalaxy:
I don't only think so, I know so.. Watch this thread degenerating to exactly what I'm saying..

Franking:
South Africa's development has nothing to do with colonial masters. You need to study their history....Great Britain colonized both white and black South Africans. The whites from Holland had already settled there long before Great Britain came along.....What brought the white settlers from Holland is story for another day.

IronGalaxy:
And I assume you do, right? But see how you can't stay put in it.. Pointless

seppuku:
Globalization baby. Capital moves round the world and we do the same.

You all are too slow to catch up with the times. It's all a cycle and you are in the retreat/isolation/protectionist face of the global power cycle. You justt don't realize it yet.

South Africa was founded by the Dutch east indian company as Nigeria was by the Royal Niger company.

Its all a business but your "patriotic" ...xenophobic mind has not caught up yet.

IronGalaxy:
Haalabaloo that has nothing to do with the initial comment as per usual.. throwing a little "x" word as usual, lol
vibes over substance
