rest bro. I don't think there's no other Africa country that's more insulted than Nigeria,yet,you don't see us doing such things to other Africans. We see such banters as online stuffs and most of them end up there. I simply believe and think south Africans are naturally hate-filled people who derive pleasure from hating on Nigerians.

Reference:
I think South Africa should stop issuing visas to the Nigerian public so that both sides can have peace. It is clear the citizen of both countries dislike each other profoundly so just keep the cats out of the dogs reach.

And once again. Nigeria should develop it's own country. Look at the things you admire outside and fight for them back home.

If only the rule of law at our borders were this enforced for instance this country will have a whole heap of problems off her shoulders.

Same thing they do here in Nigeria. They will insult Lagos and call it all sorts of names but they will never stop using night bus with there Ghana must Go back to go hustle and enjoy Lagos life. I'm glad they sent him back home.

I wrote this above: Is there a law in SA that makes it an offence to badmouth the Pretoria government? Or are they just copying Trumpian America?

You make a fair point. So it'd be interesting to see what this guy actually said - is it something capable of disrupting the peace (e.g., expressing HATE towards a group) or is it a simple opinion expressing his unhappiness about certain things the Pretoria government did? Were these border officials acting in the public interest of South Africa or were they just expressing some deep-seated anti-Nigeria feelings?

Personally, i have never expressed hate towards anyone. So if anytime I want to travel, I have to start racking my brain or checking my old posts for any criticism I made about an action taken by the president or government of the country I'm about to travel to, that'd be a very unpleasant situation. And it's something I'd always expected and would expect from a dictatorial country.

You must be a South African. It is understandable that you guys just love trending and wanting to be the topic for discussion.

Our problem with you guys is stop being miserable and Barbaric and try heal from your past wounds. If you guys don’t behave cruel with physical assault on your African brothers, no one will want to drag you all for it.

Your government is trying to take legal action on this now, what stops them on others?.

Must their citizens always act like wild animals? Taking the white man as their gods!

MrUnitedstatesA:
Always justifying evil. Are you denying that South Africans don't want Nigerians in their country, did South Africa not attack Nigerians recently? See wickedness. These men reported that they were even begging to be let in not like they are criminals but your heartless people continued their heartless none African behavior against fellow Africans who helped during apartheid instead if letting them in your country. Would you do that to white South Africans?

allthingsgood:
Stop asking stupid questions. I should alert govt at 0.41am in the morning Smh
And U that is asking, how many things have U reported to Nigerian govt How many did they answer U

The funny thing is that it was only black SA officials that were on duty. All of them black and they are the ones that hate Nigerians the most. Simply out of envy. But also the ones that beg Nigerians for money in the airports.

missionmex:
The white can insult and the same sad people will want to eat their filt. A case of white worship.

Okay noted. Buts still Nigerians need to reduce their travel to south africa for either business or tourism... the tension is high and both country are not in good terms. Forget those official mumbo jumbo

owobokiri:
Nice work.. Keep doing violence to facts..
Let's see how that helps..

Babaken:
Una still get mind to travel to that country to go and do what?

Reference:
No matter what international law says a government rises or falls on the will of the people. You only need to have sufficient numbers of people disliking a thing for th government to follow through.

The LGBTQ issue is a classic example of the interplay between people's of different cultures viz government. The West is largely tolerant and uses it's government to project that power. Africa is largely intolerant and no matter the carrots dangles before them, governments in Africa are resistant knowing the problems they face if they remotely consider it despite the fact that just a handful are democratic indeed.

What the SA government is doing has linkages to the sentiment of their people and will certainly not back any international law if this problem worsens. After all the fallout of breaking international laws it whatever will be borne by all citizens not just government or it's operatives.

And yes, Shagari did not act on his own violation. There was deep seated animosity towards Ghanians in the late 70's and early 80's. They were accused of undermining the economy by lowering wages, working harder for less (if you look at it that way) or being more productive and enterprising in business, in the domestic front and in certain.semi smiled and unskilled professions like teaching, craftsmanship, etc. Nigerians wanted them out.

IronGalaxy:
..you lots are funny hey.. the self aggrandizing and delusions never end

Lionessza6:
No.... there is no law in South Africa that makes it a crime to criticise the government. People criticise the government every day inside South Africa itself.

But entry into a country is not the same thing as freedom of speech inside that country. Foreign nationals do not have an automatic right of entry. Border officials everywhere in the world are allowed to consider behaviour, intent and risk when deciding whether to admit someone.

This is not a “dictatorship vs democracy” issue. Even strong democracies screen travellers based on prior conduct if it raises concerns about public order or social stability.

Also notice something important: if South Africa had acted outside the law, the Nigerian government would have protested. Instead, they advised their own citizens to make sure their applications were accurate and to comply with entry requirements.

So the question is not whether criticism is illegal. The question is whether immigration authorities can make decisions in the public interest at the border. In every sovereign country, including democracies, the answer is yes.

Your own government said " he made inflammatory remarks against the South African government " that says a lot about why they didn't fight against his removal from the country.

Why travel to a place where they dont like you.
They repeatedly told you Nigerians that they dont like or want you why travel to their country.

Dancebreaker:
I wonder o. I travel to places like North Africa, various parts of Europe and beyond. In my school days, while donating lunch money to ANC and seeing South African students on Nigerian scholarship at our local University, I yearned to visit SA one day when they become free of Apartheid. Now, I won't go if given a private jet. I wish them good luck.

Nigeria should issue regular travel warnings on South Africa. If it's not burning down shops of other Africans, killing Lucky Dube believing he was Nigerian, stopping people from accessing hospitals and vital services, wanton killings, it's scapegoating other Africans.

They learned hate, Apartheid tactics and xenophobia from their Boer masters very well.
