If not for AIR PEACE, alot if 1 Nigeria noisemakers will be trekking through the wilderness in Tanzania, Botswana, Kenya as refugees. On their way to Nigeria.

Give kudos to Air Peace...a Private business that saved a shameless Nation.

IGBOs have salvaged them again...

Igbo Amaka grin
Your brothers are mostly the ones languishing in different jails in diaspora na. Air peace didn't do us a favour, it's purely CSR(Cooperate Social Responsibility), Uzodinma already gave them 1million naira as his own CSR.

Emptyhen did their own, but I'm surprised they accepted CSR from MTN, a south African owned company.

Always ungrateful lots *spit*
Audio $61B - that's why I said provide SA with the receipts.

It's like you're trying to convince yourself that successive Nigerian govts haven't been "fantastically corrupt". Where are all the audio projects that never materialise but are paid for?

How could you spend money that was above your GDP at that time?
Also, are you naive, that your politicians would just give such large sums to South Africa? Come on man
If it was about bad news you both would have agreed to the report?

South Africa should refund the $61 billion dollars Nigerian Government spent on South Africa. Money that should have been used to create jobs for Nigerians, Nigerian Government spent it to liberate South Africa, now they are ungrateful.

Nigerians would not have been going to South Africa if the $61 billion dollars was used to create jobs for Nigerians
So, it is that $61 billion is the reason for unemployment in Nigeria? That is what wrecked our economy and put us in this situation. It also the reason for insecurity. Yesterday, British was to blame, today is the turn of South Africans, then tomorrow it will shift to Americans. Okay Ooooh

I saw something about Afrikaans there in the picture. South Africa speaks the most languages in Africa. They have about 16 official languages and their anthem contains five languages woven into a single unified song. The five languages are isiXhosa, isiZulu, Sesotho, Afrikaans, and English.

The oppressed have become oppressors

Vicious circle of hate is ingrained in south African s

The abused tend to evolve into abusers
They are not even oppressors. They have failed to do anything meaningful against their real oppressors

It is sad to see how south Africans come to Nairaland to rub this issue on our faces. Imagine a Nigerian trying this rubbish on a South African forum. Seun please do the needful and weed out these people.

The photograph taken by the local journalist Sam Nzima of Mbuyisa Makhubo carrying Hector’s limp, bloodied body, Hector’s sister Antoinette running beside them, face twisted in anguish, became the day’s defining image.

My eyes become wet whenever I see this photograph.
Even though a Nigerian in Nigeria, I joined the Black Consciousness Movement of the great Martyr Steve Biko.
If Biko had not died, he would have succeeded the great Nelson Mandela as the President of South Africa.

I composed the following poem as a memorial tribute to all the brave heroes and heroines of the war against Apartheid.

Arise and Conquer song in English and Zulu

Arise and Conquer!
This freedom trek did not start yesterday.
I have come along way.
I started before I bought my first Moto.
Trekking from Cape Town to Soweto.

I have been waiting for so long
To sing you my freedom song.

The time has come.
This is our time.
Almighty God has set us free
To shine for the whole world to see.
Almighty God has changed our story.
Arise in triumph and victory.

Greatness comes with great trials of faith.
Great faith comes with great strength.

Arise and conquer Azania!
Arise and conquer Africa!
Arise and roar like Simba!
Arise and conquer brave warriors
Arise and conquer brave heroes
Arise and shine like the sunrise!
Arise and conquer!

Vuka Unqobe!
Lolu hambo lwenkululeko aluqalanga izolo.
Sengifikile ngendlela.
Ngaqala ngaphambi kokuba ngithenge i-Moto yami yokuqala.
Uhambo olusuka eKapa luya eSoweto.

Sengilinde isikhathi eside kangaka
Ukukuculela ingoma yami yenkululeko.

Isikhathi sesifikile.
Lesi yisikhathi sethu.
UNkulunkulu uSomandla usikhulule
Ukuze kukhanye ukuze kubonwe umhlaba wonke.
UNkulunkulu uSomandla uyishintshile indaba yethu.
Vuka ngokunqoba nangokunqoba.

Ubukhulu bufika nezilingo ezinkulu zokholo.
Ukukholwa okukhulu kuza ngamandla amakhulu.

Vuka unqobe i-Azania!
Vuka unqobe i-Afrika!
Vuka ubhonge njengoSimba!
Vuka unqobe amaqhawe anesibindi
Vuka unqobe amaqhawe anesibindi
Vuka ukhanye njengokuphuma kwelanga!
Vuka unqobe!

PS:
I will record the song later this year.
That boy Mbuyiza ran to Nigeria as the authorities sought to capture him. Nigeria granted refuge to several of those involved.

But the people of SA today have forgotten.

Today, their ugly and dark hearted descendants are doing worse to their African brothers while embracing those that killed their ancestors as South Africans.
They are irreparably damaged and deserve worse treatment than the apartheid government gave their poor ancestors. Wickedness and hatred burns deeply in them.
May God have mercy on them.

Nigeria/ Nigerians and Africans have no regret doing what we did to free them from white minority monsters.

It's the South Africans that are ingrate, turning against their helpers

I want to ask the MOD that keep pushing all this South African news to front page.

WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVE?

I feel you enjoy the way Nigerians are insulting them here on NL calling them names.

We are all currently in a situation were no one in Africa is happy with them and you are triggering more hate on them by pushing their news here.

Dear MOD try and be sensitive for once.

At least wait till the tension calm down, before giving room for such.

If it was the other way round South Africans should have search for Oluwaseun Osewa house and burn it to ashes.


May God help us.
Randdigital complain to the MOD that he was being marginalized and facing discrimination because he was South African so they are giving him special treatment.

Sizwe Bansi is Dead is a seminal 1972 South African play collaboratively written by playwright Athol Fugard and Black actors John Kani and Winston Ntshona. The title introduces the story's central paradox: the protagonist, Sizwe Bansi, is physically alive but chooses to "die" bureaucratically to survive under the oppressive apartheid regime.

Faced with deportation from Port Elizabeth because his government-issued passbook lacks a valid work permit, Sizwe encounters a loophole when he and his friend Buntu discover the corpse of Robert Zwelinzima, a man who possessed proper working papers. Buntu convinces Sizwe to swap their photographs and assume the dead man's identity, forcing Sizwe to sacrifice his name, heritage, and legal existence just to secure employment and provide for his family.

Through this narrative partially set in a portrait studio run by a photographer named Styles, the play serves as a fierce, Tony Award-winning critique of apartheid's dehumanizing pass laws, exploring how systemic racism stripped individuals of their identity and dignity.
Used this book in senior secondary school literature lol 🫡

Yes, illegal immigrants are animals. They are not human beings. "Anything" can be done to them because they crossed borders.

Who rented the shop to her as an illegal?

Who patronizes her shop?

Where does she live?

Does She pay rent there?

As far as Europe is concerned. This is what is known as a strawman arguement. We are dicussing Afrophobia. If you want to talk about European racism open a thread.
