My girlfriend is Venda. Met her in a Zimbabwean wedding.

We're trying to navigate this tension between Nigeria and SA.
Just know that your girlfriend is known as and referred to as jollofina among them, which is derogatory, by the way.
As long as she's dating a Nigerian, she's a "lesser" human.

Good luck with that.

Lol…please you don’t need to showcase your culture on a Nigerian forum though
Re: South African Tribes And Some Of Their Head Accessories by Hemanwel(m): 7:19pm On May 11
Sincerely, this isn't the best time to promote anything South African in this country, particularly because of what they are doing to other black Africans and Nigerians in their country.

What audacity from Samantha125 to post these things here? Who cares??

Samantha125, why should I be interested in knowing about your people and culture when they are killing, brutalising my own people in your country? Why?

Seun Osewa, please this shouldn't make it to the front page. Are you in support or happy with the news coming out from SA about xenophobia? Other African countries are demarketing SA now; why should ours be different?

Honestly, you seem like a really nice person, but xenophobic attitudes of your compatriots have made me begin to detest South Africans.

Despite head scarves/wraps being some of the most renowned and common head accessories across many African cultures, SA included, one can never have too much head accessories whether it's either for cultural/heritage purposes, or even just mainly for fashion.

Now here are SA tribes and some of their head accessories.

Why are we this insensitive as Nigerians?
No feeling of solidarity and brotherhood, south Africans are humiliating and killing our brothers and sisters, yet naira land is busy showcasing her

Omo I don't understand these deep hates from them.. Even Pakistan vs India hate no reach like this..

You hardly see a Nigerian creating topics about them. I wish our leaders can get it right just like China did now Americans can't insult Chinese anymore.

Xenophobia has made me loathe everything about this country...



Till date, the only good thing from South Africa is Sarafina...

Or maybe Lucky Dube, Brenda, Sizwe Bansi
Nobody cares

Many thanks for the information but a more fitting post will be to enlighten us a topic that concerns us all.. Xenophobia
No, lets rather begin with a topic that concerns you and your people. Tribalism

If you have relatives/friends living in South Africa, do well to check on them.
Information reaching us is that they're not able to move freely, or even go to hospitals/get medical attention from fear of being attacked.
They've been stuck indoors with whatever food they have left.

And they're here, showing us headbands.😪

SOUTH AFRICANS DO NOT LIKE OTHER AFRICANS.
THEY ARE NOT GOOD PEOPLE.
AND YOU DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER

All their topics on X is about Nigeria or Zimbabwe

I don't know if they do it for engagement or it's real hate.
l think it has to do with both countries economy,if check you will realize nigeria and zimbabwe have very weak currency so they thought the reason why Nigerians are in they country is due to weak currency and it will make it difficult for nigerians and zimbabweans to go back to they respective countries.
