Okhuadams: ![]() Your grandson will be saying this exact line to my grandson in decades to come and by that time you won't even be competing with Somalia at the bottom of the list of positive indices in Africa, they would be enforcing very strict immigration laws against your grandkids ![]() Countries that spend more time arguing about others than fixing themselves usually discover this too late. |

Lioness5280:Well, you feel older folks should not be current. Very weird and biased. Or tolerate xenophia. Lol. Focus on the matter at hand. I have no feelings towards SA whatsoever. The same I have none towards Iran, Papua New Guinea or Afghanistan. But open hatred towards other Africans is condemnable. My link with SA died with a great South African who died a few years back. He openly admitted in a private discussion his disappointment with South African's feeling towards other Africans. Yes, he expressed his disappointment with Nigeria too, considering how Nigeria inspired him back in 1960s each time he was in Nigeria, as Mandela was facing treason charges in SA. For confidentiality sake, I won't mention his name. He was a thoroughly decent man and merited all the global awards he got. Nothing like the uncouth dudula goons or whatever they call them. No doubt, he would be turning in his grave. Pity that each country always has riff-raffs, |

Dancebreaker:You say you have “no feelings toward South Africa whatsoever,” yet you keep writing essays about South Africa in every comment. Then you introduce a “great South African” who supposedly agreed with you .... but can’t be named. That’s not evidence, that’s storytelling. Respectfully, apartheid-era memories and private conversations from the 1960s don’t decide immigration policy in 2026. Countries today run on institutions and law, not nostalgia. And if your connection with South Africa “died years ago,” it’s strange that South Africa is still the country you’re most invested in discussing. That contradiction says more than the speech. Papa, South Africa isn't the problem the failure of your generation to get things in order for your shortcut -loving and uncultured kids and grandkids is why you're wailing today. Do better in fixing that and we will do our best to fix our own side ....deal ? |

Nnamdipapa:And we respect your opinion and by the way ,the feeling is mutual. We also wonder why your people just can't fckn leave us alone . It's one of the strangest things ever. |
| Re: South Africa Detains, Deports Three Nigerians by Dancebreaker: 1:17pm On Apr 06 |
Lioness5280:Lol. No contradiction whatsoever. All I see in your write-up is a person piggy-backing on Boer development and using it to taunt other Africans. I remember what some Boers I worked with in diaspora about 20 years ago said. They said they left SA as the country was going to the dogs due to affirmative action. That SA will become just another corrupt African country under black rule. Back then, I used to argue with them that their Apartheid policies denied blacks the opportunity to be educated and gain competencies. That it was Boers' fault. You should know that many Nigerians out there are far better exposed and have mingled with all sorts of people than your lots and dudula goons. If the matter does not involve maltreatment of other Africans, I am not interested. I know stories have no meaning to those who have no meaningful stories of their own to tell. My lack of interest does not mean I should look away when SA people indulge in xenophobia. Your "whataboutism" won't cut it. Lobby SA government to block other Africans from coming to SA. Not to say SA is open for business, and then expose them to xenphobia. |

Dancebreaker:Saying South Africans are “piggy-backing on Boer development” ignores the reality that most of South Africa’s modern institutional growth, infrastructure expansion, housing delivery, financial depth and continental economic leadership strengthened after 1994 under black South African leadership..... not Boers. What makes this argument even stranger is coming from someone claiming Nigerians are “more exposed,” yet Nigeria ....with far more oil wealth and population ....still trails many African countries on infrastructure, governance stability and human-development indicators. What's your excuse for always flirting with the bottom of every list of positive indices in Africa among the likes of Somalia in 2026? "Too much exposure and travelling "I guess ![]() Exposure that produces lectures but not results at home is not an advantage. It’s just travel stories. Old man,your grand grandkids will be singing this song if you don't fix your ways as a country . Somalia will soon chase you out of their country ![]() The same Boeres who are returning in back in their numbers ,pledging allegiance to the same South Africa? . Is the government white these days ?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa1MejXPb30?si=KsVnthyP2zb5SwoC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QXKZtHpMY8?si=JSe56veQRHYZP9kL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P29_CZ_TuDE?si=JHpyW2xmHlEQs_pz LMAO.

As a Nigerian, I am ashamed that a fellow African whose parents and grandparents fought and died for their country is here to tell Nigerians the truth. Whatever some South African told you had been said by Mandela and many times by their present radical leader. Nkrumah, Zik and Awolowo did not fight for South Africa so that Nigerians, Ghanaians or even Zimbabwens can go there and reap rewards while looting their own country blind or resting on the laurel of their Independence Activists. Then worship conspicuous money spenders aggrandizing themselves until the laurels of past Activists ran dry. Instead of you guys to stay in your community and make it livable, you call it a Zoo and run out to other parts of the same country or outside looking for greener pastures. Stay home. I congratulate my South African sista for setting your brains right. Dancebreaker: |

Nnamdipapa:LMAO ![]() The real question is: why don't they run away from South Africa the same way they ran away from Nigeria if South Africa is horrible to them ? Poor thing, you must be burning inside seeing us here . |

| Re: South Africa Detains, Deports Three Nigerians by Nnamdipapa(m): 2:00pm On Apr 06 |
Lioness5280:You'll have to ask them whenever you can find them. I live in Nigeria and have zero intentions to see South Africa or it's people in my lifetime. This is just a personal opinion based off of the hatred ZAfricans have for Nigerians. Please, deport all those Nigerians in South Africa and I wouldn't give a care in the world. I suggest your government to stop issuing visas to Nigerians too. I took the time to explain to my kids that ZAfricans hate them so they know where to avoid in the future. Remember, it is the duty of your government to conduct adequate due diligence before accepting anyone into your country and from personal experience, it is the lower dregs of the Nigerian society that relocate to South Africa. |

JuanDeDios:True. @ the bolded. That's definitely the part I thought your citizens would demand clarity or transparency on from your side of the government: What were the posts that they also deemed inflammatory against the government of South Africa. |

Lioness5280:i guess you are from that useless country of black layabouts still ruled and economically dominated by white invaders? Shame! |
| Re: South Africa Detains, Deports Three Nigerians by Lioness5280(f): 2:11pm On Apr 06 |
fyneboi79:LMAO. And I'm guessing you're from that country that remained useless under white and black rule where it's people continue to drown in mass extreme poverty, undervelopment and their only hope is to escape to any country including Pakistan ? . That's even a bigger shame. Oil rich with a huge population and still competing with Somalia and them in terms of anything positive ![]() |

Let say nah ibo do this now.. the whole internet space will be full of hate comments |
| Re: South Africa Detains, Deports Three Nigerians by Lioness5280(f): 2:21pm On Apr 06 |
Nnamdipapa:LMAO ....you keep repeating “hate this, hate that” as if anyone here is trying to change your mind. No one is asking you to like South Africa. If you’ve already taught your children to avoid South Africa, that settles the issue. South Africans also teach their children to be cautious about people who openly say they despise the country and it's people and those who leave their homelands to cause trouble here. So yes .... they should follow your example and stay away, and everyone remains comfortable. That sounds like a fair arrangement. |

nobaga:Rubbish. Even the Boers who claim SA today left the Netherlands and with other Europeans annexed SA land. Europeans did same in the Americas. People have always moved and will always do. The same SA has Nigerian scholars and professionals paying taxes. My course mates in Europe were Asians, Americans and from all the continents. By nature of the course, all stayed for at least a few years for post-grad professional training. Majority still work here today. Many of them came from elite families in USA, Asia and elsewhere and were able to easily pay for the most expensive course. Others were on National Govt scholarships, especially the Asians. Going abroad is not all about poverty or seeking greener Pasteur. When Columbus left Europe to "discover" America, Venice, Florence, Rome, Paris, London, Lisbon, Madrid and others were thriving. He could have lived in any of them comfortably. If Nigeria were like Singapore today, Nigerians would still travel. Do not let self-loathing drive you to support someone who promotes xenophobia against other Africans. It's a very poor form of wokism. |

Lioness5280:I don't know what you are talking about. I know no one who already is or is planning to go to South Africa so, nothing for me to tell anyone. I am also presenting enjoying Nigeria and looking for ways to make improvements and contribute to my country. It is the duty of your government to deport any undesirables in your country instead all the noise you guys make online. As a matter of fact, clamour for your government to expel the Nigerian embassy in South Africa to be expelled and I would not gaf. |

Dancebreaker:Mr champion of African humanity ( as long as it's away from home) : Comparing Nigerians leaving a country that still needs doctors, engineers and professionals to Columbus sailing around in the 1400s or to Europeans and Asians studying abroad today is not the same thing at all. Columbus lived in a world without modern borders, immigration systems or national development strategies. Today countries train people expecting those skills to strengthen their own societies. Many of the countries you mentioned export surplus talent. Nigeria is still trying to keep the professionals it already has. When skilled people leave permanently from a country that still needs them, that is not exposure. That is capacity loss. And the taxes those professionals pay abroad matter far less to countries like South Africa than they would matter back home where those same skills are urgently needed. Scholarship mobility builds countries. Brain drain weakens them. Treating both things as the same is the mistake. Columbus didn’t go through immigration systems; modern professionals do ....and those systems exist because countries protect their own development capacity. Exposure that builds other countries while your own keeps losing capacity is not sophistication. It’s brain drain. That's why you have many representatives in many industries abroad but your own can barely outcompete the poorest countries in African in terms of development, healthcare, educational facilities, roads etc. |
