Re: The Quiet Erasure Of Nigerian Indigenous Languages by jidesp(op): 2:22pm On May 21
The narrative you’re pushing, implies you want her to take the blame for what’s happening to Nigerians in South Africa. She made her statement clear and every point she made didn’t support the killing. Her reference implies how the narrative is perceived and she informed you on the certain facts in South Africa from a Citizen of that country.

This is a situation of dual perspective. No matter how the narrative is painted in Nigeria. Her point is, it’s not 100% as described in the media. Certain bad eggs just makes it easier for Good Nigerians to Thrive in that country.

I tire for you o brother. Na she kill person ni


Brendaniel:
You are the one having comprehension issues here, I have clearly stated my points over and over, that I am not supporting any illegality, and I that is what I expect every person to do, both Nigerians and South Africans, don't condemn one and justify the other for any reason like she is doing, nobody should be given jungle justice for being illegal in a country, my point is let us be civilized and treat each other as human beings, let the law of the country take its course, because people most times use jungle justice as an avenue to pour their personal issues on the victims...

So let's be condemning both, is that too hard for you people to comprehend?

It’s ok boss. You don try. As you no get evidence. Leave the matter. Make we face the lnguage issue

Brendaniel:
So since there is no evidence, you want to force me to make one, I have told you there is no evidence, I have searched there is no evidence, what then do you want me to do?

Can you show me in any of her statement where she said she doesn't support the killings of Nigerians who have committed offenses in SA by her people throughout our conversation, present it and I will apologize to you and her...

I never told her I had any evidence, please show me where I claimed to have evidence of what she is asking for, so I find it very absurd for her to hinge on that, also I have stated there is no evidence for what she is asking for which I never made claim about, so what then does she want to make for defense ?

I'm asking a simple question, does she justify the xenophobic killings of Nigerians who have committed offenses in South Africa by her people, and then she is asking me for evidence of Nigerians who have been killed who have committed no offense,

That is diversion....

The issue here is very simple, she is trying to make it complex to avoid answering that question which is simple and plain which:

Have South Africans not killed Nigerians(who committed offense or not) through xenophobic attacks in South Africa and is she in support of it?

There is nothing complex here, she should answer the question straight

Would it be fair if I come to you and start accusing you of a serious crime based on hearsay without any evidence?

What evidence do you want?

If you need evidence of Nigerians killed in SA through xenophobic attacks, I can present that for you, but telling me to bring evidence that the Nigerians killed were innocent people is absurd...

Because my point is not whether they were innocent or guilty of whatever crime they committed because that is not angle of my argument.

But that they were killed illegally by your people, and if you don't see a problem in that but condemn Nigerians doing things illegally in SA then you are only being a hypocrite....

Because you are using illegality to fight illegality but believe that your own illegality is not a crime against humanity and then condemn those you are fighting as the only bad people when you are equally bad or even worse than them.

You're not answering my question, you can't expect me to give you straight answers when you can't do the same, it only makes you a hypocrite.

And I'm asking you to provide me with evidence of illegal immigrats being killed unprovoked for merely being illegal and not in anyway involved in any illegal dealings.

Re: The Quiet Erasure Of Nigerian Indigenous Languages by Samantha125(f): 5:59pm On May 21
I don't see anything relating these murders to "xenophobic attacks"

These fatalities are probably a result of their usual cult wars or just an unfortunate incident which could've happened to anyone... Crime affects everyone here in SA, it doesn't matter whether you're a South African, legal, or illegal foreign national.

So all these are your justification for the xenophobic attacks on foreigners?
Re: The Quiet Erasure Of Nigerian Indigenous Languages by Samantha125(f): 4:37pm On May 22
If you call patriotism xenophobia, then a big fat YES... Do you expect us to sit down and do nothing while these people steal, harass, grape, threaten, and kill innocent South Africans?

Only a broken soul with sympathise with them.

Then you are simply admitting that your government has failed, if you people are doing illegally what your government is supposed to legally...
