Exactly the point... After playing PlayStation all day you'll look for one successful foreigner to hate on for having more money than you

This is a useless documentary. XENOPHOBIC IS NOT A DISEASE

It's their country, and they can do whatever they want. It's left for us to build our own country.

LordLicifer:
Maybe we should copy south africans and hold our corrupt govament to account at least south africans has the balls to querry their govament.

Flangelo12:
Did south Africans hold their government to account or did they attack immigrants?

Kushites:
So long as the white minority are allowed to own all that land and wealth in South Africa, forget about lifting up the black majority in a substantial way.

South Africa is still colonised, so I don't know what "governance failure" you're referring to.

If the govt decides to redistribute the wealth and land ownership, they'll get the Zimbabwe treatment from their western "partners". HEAVY ECONOMIC SANCTIONS that would ruin their economy.

So they are still colonised.

Only the eventual decline or collapse of western powers as a whole will lead to African emancipation.

The universe will make it happen.

Which universe? Na universe create you? Universe is a creation too. Universe can do nothing positive.
The Western world can't keep been the scapegoats for our backwardness, our wickedness is responsible.
Black man get issues with loving and helping his kind stand.

Clobisman:
Xenophobia in South Africa arose because of the failures of the government in being accountable to the citizens. The discussion of whether the anger is really directed at the easiest scapegoats is another discussion but the citizens didn’t wait for government to dictate or influence there grouse. Can the same be said about our country where the most bizarre things happen by those in power and they go scot free because they have succeeded in keeping the citizens shut by instilling fears into them.

dettolgel:
Taking laws into their hands without holding the responsible government accountable? Dey play

LordLicifer:
Maybe you should tell me since you know more than the south africans , tell me which one they did.

Flangelo12:
Writing nonsense.

Thank God most Nigerians are smarter than this.

WorkTheTalk:
Have you been able to hold the corrupt Nigerian government accountable for the economic woes and insecurity? Did you condemn the killings of the EndSars protesters by the Nigerian government?
They way things are going in South Africa, they citizens would finally revolt against the government. It's a matter of time.

The South African government has failed its citizens. Many of the citizens no more have trust in the government, and are now taking laws into their hands. Immigrants, legal or illegal, have become the scapegoats.

Dudula is one of South Africa's most notorious anti-migrant groups whose members say they are standing up for ordinary South Africans let down by their government. The vigilante groups blame illegal migrants for South Africa's struggling economy, lack of housing, and rising drug abuse.

The uncomfortable parallel:

For the Nigerian audience, it should not just be "look how South Africans treat our people" — it is the mirror it holds up. When a state fails to deliver jobs, housing, security, and basic services, citizens do not always direct their anger upward at the institutions responsible. Often it is easier, and more immediately satisfying, to direct it sideways — at the neighbor, fellow citizens, the migrants, and people that cannot easily fight back.

Nigeria has its own history of this dynamic, just aimed differently: ethnic and religious scapegoating, "indigene vs. settler" tensions, "genocide", terrorism, banditry, violence attacks of its own within its borders.

That does not make the xenophobic attacks happening in South Africa acceptable — it makes it explicable, which is different. Migrants, documented or not, do not set housing policy, do not run the economy, and did not create unemployment. They are a visible, relatively powerless target in a country where the real grievances are with institutions too large and too entrenched to confront directly.

Two things can be true at the same time

SA insteads of holding their government accountable they decided to show their xenophobic side.

At least in Nigeri we didn't take out government failure on ordinary everyday immigrants living amongst us

LordLicifer:
You still have not told me what south africans did. smart guy!

Most Nigerians are smarter yet cannot hold their corrupt looting govament to account unlike south africans all most nigerians know is blaming south africans for their failures.

The tribalisms in nigeria is worst than any xenophobia and racisms in any country.

Things can always happen the other way around. Boko Haram members, kidnappers and bandits say the government has failed them. And who pays the price? The innocent citizens. Not just a few victims, but thousands of victims.
By the way, are you ready to join the protest for hundreds of school children, teachers, women and men still held captive by terrorists in the forests? Or you are busy crying about a few Nigerians facing attackes in South Africa?

WorkTheTalk:
The xenophobic attacks in South Africa, and the banditry attacks in Nigeria are clear cases of governance failures resulting in citizens taking laws into their hands.



Have you been able to hold the Nigerian government accountable for the corruption and bad policies that lead to economic woes, insecurity, kidnappings and killings? Did you condemn the killings of the EndSars protesters who dared to stand up against the corrupt federal government institution?

They way things are going in South Africa, they citizens would finally revolt against the government. It's a matter of time.

What we are going through here in Nigeria are worst than what other Nigerians are going through in South Africa. That is the reason many of them don't want to come back.
Hopefully, Nigerians would leave tribalism and religion aside, and demand accountability from the government.
