Although it is a South African post, I wasn't referring to those haters. Nothing would take me to South Africa or India and some other states by my free will.

My goal is to move to a First World Country (not dragging South Africa ghetto with violent low IQ people). Those in the highly developed part of South Africa has no business with half naked Zulu Warrior, they deal with the bullshit of Elon Musk type racism if they are not also very rich.
Even America has ICE that is dealing with immigrants. Trump has been shouting, fix your own country and stop pressuring us. In the UK, there are movements against immigrants and policies of immigrantion are being tightened each year. So, the solution for black people is to fix their countries and stop running to other people who have worked hard to fix theirs.

Not Nigerian pa say, Igbo man. Mentioning money & property before son & wife, too bad!
Finally! Thank you for this response.

For those whose senses and DNA have been taken up with money and possessions, the human life is the only thing that can't be restored once lost. You can still make more money and build empires anywhere.

Putting material possessions ahead of wife and children is no different from those xenophobic SA,who because of their greed decide to kill people so as to take over their property. Mammon is behind both of their actions

If to say our country good, wetin be S.A wey we go dey go find greener pastures. Oga welcome back home, hopefully the country will favour you by God's grace.


What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news of DNA test
Honestly, South Africa is one of the best country in black sub sahara regions. Our people were the one that spoiled the country. They used their vulnerability to mess up the country for them. Whatever I become today , I owned it to God and South Africa. I got the opportunity and I used it wisely and I left when the ovation was loudest.

Mathewrichard99:
South Africa has effectively functioned as a shock absorber for the rest of the continents, a spare tyre other African nations could lean on whenever decades of poor leadership pushed their citizens to flee. Since apartheid ended, that role has meant absorbing a steady, largely unregulated flow of migrants from countries whose governments failed to provide security, jobs, or basic services at home.

The problem is that this absorption has come at a cost the South African state never really budgeted for. Infrastructure built for a smaller population, housing, clinics, schools, electricity, water, is now stretched past its limits, and ordinary South Africans are the ones feeling the strain in longer queues, higher competition for scarce jobs, and crumbling services. That's arguably the real engine behind the anger and the xenophobic backlash: it's less about hostility to fellow Africans in the abstract and more about a population that feels it has been carrying a continental burden alone, with no relief and no acknowledgment.
The demand, then, isn't really "leave and disappear" , it's "go fix your own house." The underlying argument is that migrants would be better served putting that same energy, skill, and labor into pressuring their own governments for accountability, rather than exporting the problem southward indefinitely. In that view, the sustainable fix isn't tighter borders in South Africa alone , it's functional states elsewhere on the continent, so people have a reason to stay and build rather than leave and survive.
That's more of the reasons that migrants are frequently scapegoated for problems such as, unemployment, crime, service delivery failures , that are substantially rooted in South Africa's own domestic policy choices and inequality legacy, not migration levels. Xenophobic violence has killed and displaced people, including migrants with legal status and even South African citizens mistaken for foreigners, which is a harder thing to justify as pure economic frustration.
nicely written

So if it is a white restricted suburb, why did they allow a black man like you to live there?
IT'S NOT A WHITE RESTRICTED SUBURB

WHITE SUBURBS ARE NOT WHITE RESTRICTED PHYSICALLY BUT MENTALLY IT COULD BE

IN SOUTH AFRICA ESPECIALLY IN JOHANNESBURG...PRETORIA... IT'S CLEARLY VISIBLE THAT APARTHEID IS STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE

THERE ARE WHITE...INDIAN..COLOURED... PAKISTANI SUBURBS THAT AS A BLACK PERSON YOU DARE NOT GO LIVE THERE

EVEN IN A BIG PENTECOSTAL CHURCH LIKE RHEMA ...ONCE YOU ENTER THE CHURCH AND LOOK AROUND YOU STILL SEE THE SEGREGATION IN THE WAY PEOPLE SIT...THERE ARE AREAS DOMINATED BY WHITES ...BLACKS...INDIANS ...COLOUREDS

IN JOHANNESBURG AS A BLACK FOREIGNER JUST STAY IN THE NORTHERN WHITE SUBURBS AND YOU WILL BE FINE

Says who?
WE THAT HAVE LIVED IN SOUTH AFRICA FOR LONG KNOWS WHAT'S UP

IN SOUTH AFRICA THE SYSTEM WORKS AND THE LAW WORKS

INSURANCE WORKS AND IT'S AFFORDABLE AND CHEAP TO HAVE AND IF ANYTHING I DO IS THROUGH BANK FINANCE THEN INSURANCE IS MANDATORY ON THE FACILITY THE BANK IS GIVING ME

SO ANY NIGERIAN SAYING THEY LOST EVERYTHING IS LYING BECAUSE IF THEY HAVE A BUSINESS PREMISE THEN THERE IS INSURANCE ON THE BUSINESS CAUSE IT'S MANDATORY

IF THEY HAVE A HOUSE MORTGAGE THEN THERE'S A MANDATORY INSURANCE

IF THEY HAVE CAR FINANCE THEN INSURANCE IS MANDATORY EXCEPT THE CAR IS PAID OFF OR IT WAS BOUGHT CASH THEN INSURANCE IS OPTIONAL

SO ANY NIGERIAN SAYING THEY LOST EVERYTHING IS LYING AND THEY HAD NOTHING TO LOOSE TO START WITH CAUSE IF THEY HAD MONEY IN THE BANK...THE MONEY WILL STILL BE THERE

IF THEY HAD A HOUSE ..THE HOUSE WILL STILL BE THERE CAUSE SO LONG AS THEY HAVE THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS TITLE FOR THE HOUSE.. NOBODY EVEN IN A MILLION YEARS CAN CLAIM THAT HOUSE OR DO CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP AND THAT GOES FOR VEHICLES TOO

Stop comparing nations with geographical expression called Nigeria.


Nigeria was never a nation with one goal and one vision. Nigeria was hurriedly created to serve as a money making entity for the British colonial masters who lumped up different people with different identities, ideologies, culture, tradition, dialect, religious beliefs and vision as one country. This lumping together of people of diverse identities, beliefs and vision led to unhealthy ethnic rivalry and competition leading to leadership corruption that gradually spread to the general population and have now become a fabric of the nation called Nigeria.



If Nigeria existed as separate nations like; Yoruba nation, Igbo nation, Hausa nation, Middlebelt nation, Ijaw nation, etc, believe me, Nigeria would have progressed beyond where it is today.


We are too diverse as a black nation to have one goal and common vision to build a prosperous nation based on equity, justice and merit.
Very nicely put, %100000 correct, very refreshing comment, i am glad that a great mind like yours still exist in our country

I came across something yesterday while reading a blog. I was meant to take a screenshot, but somehow I didn't. Someone raised the question, what if South Africa has long been shouldering the consequences of poor leadership elsewhere in Africa, and is simply tired of it
How many foreigners are even in that country to start with? We have more other Africans living in Nigeria than you'll ever get in south Africa. Why are we not killing them like savages?

What is wrong with all of you? He should come back to use Nigerian resources to get educated and then get another visa. Why cant you people stay and develop your country? Why is Nigeria so unlucky with unpatriotic citizens? And you blame South Africans for kicking you out like the parasites that you are...always looking for visa as if they can never make it in their country and then you say South Africans are jealous of you. What kind of mentality is this?i
I want to assume you are not a Nigerian but if you are, the below is for you:

Why cant you tell the "Looting Clueless Leaders" you support, to do what is Right so that the younger generation can have a future in this Country?
Have you not seen what that young man in Burkina faso (Traore) is doing to his Country, despite meagre resources?
Do you think the young Nigerians you are preaching to, to stay in Nigeria and develop Nigeria, have not been doing that since the past 30years?
Did the Government give them stable Electricity, as the White Apartheid Masters gave the Xenophobic Black Savages of today?
Have you forgotten that those young People that insisted on staying and developing Nigeria, when they protested against random murders by the Police SARS Unit, do you know how many more of them the Nigerian Government unleashed the Military on and killed, at the Lekki Toll gate?
Do you know how many University students have been killed by successive Government, for insisting that Nigeria must be developed, to retain its Youths?
Have you seen the Picture of those Kids kidnaped at Two Schools in Oyo State and their Teacher beheaded immediately in Captivity? And then we have a Government that is supposed to kill these type of Terrorist-Kidnappers, sewing Adire for them, giving them Money, sending them Overseas and calling them "Repentant terrorists"?

With the set of Evil and Corrupt Leaders Nigeria has (have you seen the NASS?), it is a big risk for any decent, young Person to want to "stay and develop Nigeria" because those in Power are only intersted in looting the Country-dry, not in partnering with young people to develop the Country.


We have ONLY ONE LIFE, it is not smart to allow some riff-raff Politician to help you waste it while their own Children are living large from our stolen Common-Wealth.
If "Abroad" is where one can get Peace of Mind, then so be it.

Some of guys are just unbelievable! Instead of you to hustle for the grind and later come back to marry from your country, you go dey marry SA babe. Even if it is you, you will not support your daughter to follow her husband who is not from the same country with you to his own country, so you don’t blame the SA ladies

The problem we have are not clueless leaders. They are in every country. The problem we have are unpatriotic citizens. Even in America, protesters are killed regularly. That is not enough for them to abadon their country. In this same South Africa, the whites killed them relentlssly during apatheid, they stayed.

Nigeria is not the only country with problem. Stop looking for excuse for the unpatriotic nature of our people.


And most problem we have outside the country is not related to our leaders. It is due to the criminal nature of citizens. So is it clueless leaders that make youths to be selling drugs in South Africa, India, indonesia etc? You escaped to the so called good country with good leaders according to your postulation yet the only business you can do is crime?

No, l am not advocating for the Criminal Actions of some Nigerians in Diaspora. That, is a huge problem that needs to be dealt with.

How can you say 'The problem we have are not clueless leaders, they are in every country"?

When it comes to "problems", Nigeria's own is Chronic and gets worse by the day.
At least you cant deny the Reports of Money being looted in the Billions of Naira. NNPCL Executives looting Billions of Dollars, sending their Children to Swiss Schools with over $5Million annual Tuition fee!

You just need to go source info from the EFCC to see how many of our Leaders have Cases of Looting Public Purse and EFCC under RIbadu even told us that ALL the Governors at that period have Cases of Treasury Looting against Them. Somehow-somehow, their File did not end up in Prosecution but our Leaders prefer to use such file for Intimidation, of the Accused, when it suits them.
Go and try such Nonsense in China, Na Beheading! Or even in Japan, you will have to commit Harakiri (Fall on your own Sword) but in Nigeria, they use stolen money to grab more Power, so they can even steal more.

Now, what l have noticed among People who try to protect "their Politician", as you are doing, is that they cant see the connection between Corrupt Leadership and Bad Governance, and Nigerians running away from their Country, to other Countries (The Jappa Syndrome).
If you cant connect the dots between those two, then you cannot understand the desperation of our young ones to get faraway from Nigeria
, you cant understand why their Host see them as a nuisance and why some of them, without supporting such decision, decide that they must get rick quick or die trying..
Again, l dont support that idea, Greed is a major factor in that as well.
How the behavior of our Politicians, their lavish lifestyle, their looting of money meant for the common good, their propensity to lavish on their own children while the children of the common man suffers and live in abject poverty, how all these contribute to the development of a "Greed mentality" among our Youths (not just Drug Smuggling, some are into Money Rituals, Yahoo++, Kidnapping, wire fraud, etc) requires a global view and deeper thinking than a mentality of trying to absolve one's Politician in Power.

I cant do justice to such discuss on a platform like this, it will get too lengthy.

But the day we get our LEadership Right, you will see how quickly Nigeria will develop, you will see how Nigerians will prefer to stay at home instead of doing jappa and you will see how most of these Vices will start tampering down.
Until then, let us keep chasing after RIngworm, while Leprosy festers.

That is bs. Those Zulu people haven't done anything worthwhile. How are they shouldering the responsibility of other Africans ? Those are lies. Do they have a welfare programme?
If it were like some European countries, I would agree. But SA don't know anything. Or is it Africans that asked them not to go to school?
