Never use the Lazy or jealousy thing because they are untrue.

Now Xenophobia and propagandists. I stand on those anyday.

Lionessza6:
Every stat proves otherwise though. What exactly are you more productive in . Just point only two things if you can .

IronGalaxy:
its a famous song of your people..

Of course, you would stand by those.. its absolves you from all accountability and the need to look at yourself and we all know Nigerians hate accountability

IronGalaxy:
We are tired of being disrespected... It's that simple, how about you learn some manners? Let's not forget it was also a Nigerian that was daring the Zulu king not long ago. All these classless moves are always by Nigerians. Always!

Loudness on its own is harmless, but yours is alaways accompanied by disrespect, crass arrogance, wanting to be seen... it's not intimidating, it's off-putting. These traits endear you to no one

All i can say.. foreigners in SA are viewed with how they've presented themselves since the dawn of democracy..its a give and take situation.. in SA theres a particular strong dislike for Nigerians...and it didn't fall from the sky.. just check how far back this article is...and people are still complaining about the same thing even today and you gonna blame them for having reservations about you??

seppuku:
Yes but please include the reservations for the Zimbabweans, the Malawians, Somali, the Ethiopian, the congolese and the Ugandans so we don't get a skewed representation of xenophobia. This is what propagandist do.

IronGalaxy:
Rest. Those cards don't work no more. try a new angle

seppuku:
So I am lieing.

IronGalaxy:
Precisely

seppuku:
We will let the facts speak for themselves

🤷‍♂️ I take this is your" gottcha" moment? hahaha.. I thought you were going to bring something new to the party so we can indulge on your xenophobia obsession further..but alas.. same videos, save videos of frustration from my people..
nothing new here, go to sleep seppuku, you've milked the cow dry.. nobody buys your victimhood anymore

seppuku:
You call it "frustrations". We call it Xenophobia. Potato........Potatoe.

Good night Mfethu. We see you bright and early, eh.

IronGalaxy:
Ofcourse with you, even a fly on the wall is "xenophobic" ..it really doesnt mean anything anymore..

seppuku:
Propaganda is a very dangerous thing and I have seen the consequences.

I will continue to expose it.

IF A CROWN CAN SHAKE A NATION, THEN THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER THE CROWN, IT WAS THE STORY BUILT AROUND IT.

By: Olaniyi The voice: Thursday, 9 April 2026 - Pretoria, South Africa. Reposted by Nelson C Akachukwu: AIE tv reporter :

What should have remained a local cultural misunderstanding in East London has now spiralled into something far more dangerous. The so-called “Igbo King” issue has been stretched beyond its original context and repackaged into a narrative that feeds suspicion, resentment, and division between Black South Africans, Nigerians, and African migrants at large. Many had hoped that the swift intervention of the Nigerian High Commission, alongside apologies from community and Igbo leaders to South African authorities and traditional institutions, would calm tensions and restore dignity to the conversation. Instead, the persistence of protests suggests that this is no longer about a title, it is about deeper, unresolved fault lines.

What is most concerning is how quickly the situation has been seized upon. Political actors, opportunistic organizations, and individuals with long standing anti-foreigner sentiments have found fresh fuel. The issue is no longer being discussed for what it is, but for what it can be used to represent. And in that distortion lies the real danger.
A community that loses control of its narrative gradually loses control of its future. History has shown us that perception, when repeated often enough, hardens into reality. Even in modern world conflicts, propaganda remains one of the most powerful weapons, not because it is true, but because it is consistent. Over time, it shapes belief, and belief shapes action.
For too long, the Nigerian community in South Africa has allowed others to define it. Silence, in the face of repeated misrepresentation, has created a vacuum, one that has been filled with stereotypes and half-truths. This moment, uncomfortable as it is, exposes the cost of that silence.

There must also be honesty within. It is not a denial of reality to admit that some Nigerians are involved in criminal activities, including drug-related offences. No society is immune to this. But justice must remain individual, not collective. Law enforcement agencies exist to investigate, arrest, and prosecute offenders based on evidence. What cannot be accepted is the steady drumbeat of a narrative that paints an entire nationality with the brush of criminality.
It raises an uncomfortable but necessary question: if the issue of drugs has been consistently linked to Nigerians for over fifteen years, why does it remain to surface every election period and unresolved? Is the problem truly as simple as it is often presented, or has it been convenient to sustain a single story rather than confront a more complex reality?
Recently, a video from the Exposed Africa YouTube channel titled “WE ARE A MARINE CULT & WE INSTALLED OUR IGWE IN EAST LONDON” ( was shared with me by a South African sister. Beyond its sensational framing, it reflects a broader pattern how selective narratives are amplified to reinforce existing perceptions. It is precisely why Nigerians in South Africa must begin to engage more deliberately, speak more clearly, and challenge what is false without becoming defensive.

At a time like this, the responsibility is shared. Leaders must lead with wisdom, communities must respond with restraint, and individuals must resist the temptation to inflame rather than inform. Division may be easy to manufacture, but unity requires intention.
In the end, this is not just about East London, or a title, or even a community. It is about whether we allow ourselves to be defined by narratives that divide us, or whether we find the courage to reshape them. Because once a people lose control of their story, they do not just lose their voice, they risk losing each other.

IronGalaxy:
Its funny how you have the energy to "expose" things happeing in other countries but turn a blind eye to the tribalism plaguing your country..

Keep exposing your hypocrisy

seppuku:
As I have reiterated many a times. I have the freedom to choose what I am passionate about.

I speak for voiceless people. You cannot tell me what to focus on. Learn to tolerate dissent.

IronGalaxy:
You have misplaced priorities hypocrite.. the voiceless in your country are being unalived for their creed and others discriminated for their tribes and yet here you are, putting your neck for your loudmouthed drug brothers in SA.. you're fooling no one here.. you have your reasons why you remain utterly obsessed with South Africa and South Africans, stop faking altruism

seppuku:
Glad you rewrote your response to clean it up. I noticed you were band.

I stick my neck out for the voiceless.

That poor Malawian child being picked up by her parent from school enduring the screams of "V***k Kw*reK**" V**T**"

That wretched looking old lady I saw crossing the Mozambican border whom I struck up a conversation with who told me she was crossing over to try to get a job cleaning in cape town so she could pay her grandsons school fees.

My Cameroonian expat colleague who was having a child at a private hospital in cape town and was abused and heckled by a female staff asking her why she was having a child in the country and couldn't have it in her own COWNTRI.

I have no love for drug dealers be they Nigerian, Brazilian or Colored. Individual vs Collective punishment.

If it quacks like a duck. Its a duck. Stop fighting the truth Mfethu.

IronGalaxy:
No matter the Bible scripture you conjure up, you remain a hypocrite my friend..

seppuku:
I know it's hard for you to rationalize that which you do not understand.

Let me help you.

IronGalaxy:
Lol.. I understand that you are a hypocrite... simple

seppuku:
You are entitled to your opinion. Noone here will abahambe you for expressing it.

IronGalaxy:
No, its not an opinion, its a fact. You are hypocrite and im sick and tired of you being disingenuous

Every single day without fail, South Africans are this and that.. meanwhile, the same thing is happening in your country and you keep mum about it..

IronGalaxy:
you were saying "abahambe" to Ibos in yotuba strangleholds not long ago werent you? Where was your fake outrage then? I have screenshot upon screenshot of your people expressing concern of the influx of ibo people in certain states, yet you draw the line when South Africans say the same thing about Nigerians.? .This is hypocrisy my friend no matter how you spin it..

IronGalaxy:
It's as if what happens to Nigerians outside is far more important to whats happening in your country...which is makes no sense none whatsoever, ever heard of the saying "charity begins at home"?

seppuku:
You are just pained at this point.

There are a million of us talking about it everyday on Nairaland and in other settings. One less out of 200 million is insignificant.



I discuss Nigeria on a constant basis in my daily conversations. Not doing them here on Nairaland doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I would recommend this youtuber below, excellent historian and commentator if you want an indebt understanding of the Igbo matter in Nigeria. I doubt you will though. You are putting "South Africa First" as it should be right?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej69DHvFdPw


Don't let it run you mad like a splinter in your mind.

"Choice" my friend. The simple answer is "choice"

IronGalaxy:
Nope.. Im not pained, just pointing out your long-running hypocrisy, its not you alone though, its a collective thing.. you are all hypocrites.. Imagine pointing fingers at us daily then rush to discriminate against an ibo person.. ..you complain about "abahambe" yet you have the very same thing at your doorstep..

There's an English saying that says " you do not throw stones while living in a glass house" but this is what you've been doing all along.. you and your people.. you are all hypocrites .!

seppuku:
As I said, you are entitled to your opinion. You are free to stay or leave. No one is chasing you away because you are being "disrespectful"

IronGalaxy:
Lol.. yet you are chasing ibos right? Even Ghanians in "Ghana must go"...

You are the last people to lecture us about xenophobia Seppuku..the last people!!.. you cant co-exist with Christians, you cant co exist with ibos.. but wanna expect us yo treat you in the way you can't treat yourselves..its delusional

And yes we gonna chase you out for being "disrespectful" and that's how it should be.. what's stopping you from being well mannered in other people's homes? Take accountability for once

seppuku:
Catch your breath Mfethu, You are hyper ventilating online.

I would be sad if you had to be rushed to hospital for HBP.

IronGalaxy:
Here's your version of "abahambe"..against your fellow countrymen..but you wanna hold South Africans to a different standard?

And you wonder why I call you a "hypocrite"?

seppuku:
Here's a counter to that Rhetoric by the same Nigerians discussing the issue of Tr.ba.lism and its origins in Nigeria.

I can do this all day.

Lioness5280:


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.

Voltron007:
Yall take it as “banter” because you don’t have a functioning immigration system. Sane countries will add you to their watchlist and wait. If you insult a country online, it makes no sense to still visit that country. Even if visa is free, nothing will ever make me go to South Africa.
