Nigerian man mocks South Africans after buying a Maybach worth over $500,000 in South Africa, wait for the full Zulu outfit😂🙆🏽‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/vs6pP9dadi

A Nigerian man sparked widespread outrage online after a video of him mocking Zulu culture from inside a luxury Maybach car went viral on 5 July 2026 in Cape Town.

The clip, shared by @realyobarnub on X, shows the man dressed in traditional Zulu attire in his car, which is valued at over $500,000 (approximately 9 million rands).

Laughing alongside his friends, they all rhymed, saying "I'm not getting back, I'm in a Maybach", before he stepped out anyway and attempted to perform the Zulu warrior dance.

South Africans were quick to respond with anger, warning that disrespecting the Zulu Nation was not something to take lightly.

The online backlash was swift and sharp, with many pointing out that the stunt reflected poorly on Nigerians living in South Africa at a time of already heightened tensions.

That man if he's actually a Nigerian... Nor dey South Africa

Selling your house to finance running away to Canada is not travelling my guy...

And we all know an average Nigerian dreams of "japa", you can't be "comfortable" and dream to flee your country of birth, even risk drowning in oceans doing so..

Selling of houses is a case of 2 of 10….. Nigerians are natural migrant, it’s not a case of being comfortable or not.

IronGalaxy:
This applies to an average Nigerian than it does to a South African actually.. you have a poorer populous.

Lmao. Yet y'all are the one crying every 7 days about how foreigners are oppressing y'all with the wealth they made from your country
See? Jokes on you boyke

IronGalaxy:
So South Africans are "envious" of Nigerians because people in my lineage can't afford a car..?? Yup, Sounds about Nigerian

Does your cousin have a car that cost that much? Or better yet, do you have electricity? Ambulances? Proper hospitals? Universities? Clean water?Roads? You're here making noise about someone else's car yet you still lack in the most basic of amenities, I will never understand you people

WatchYourSix:
While illegal immigration is wrong…. From many of your citizens’ comments online, it’s too obvious most of yall are just envious and angry that foreigners are doing better than you….because Yall are seizing the opportunity to attack and kill weda they are documented or not…

This is the mentality that is causing you and your brothers problem in Ghana. The same mentality will create problem for you anywhere in Africa and even in Nigeria.

Nobody in South Africa is complaining about your "wealth" because no African immigrant group is wealthier than actual South africans

RandDigital:
I'll be around to report his arrest soon - on fraud, tax evasion and illegal entry into SA. I can predict the future😎

SOUTH AFRICA IS CRUMBLING AND DECAYING LIKE FOWL 🪿 SHIT.

my guy, you can never fool me.. when you see Nigerians escape with boats en route to Europe, that not "traveling" that's running away.. clearly something in Nigeria is not working, hence the mass exodus.. sanitise it all you want..

Sccarrr:
so your proof they are commiting crimes is cos they are buying exotic cars and living better than the ones looting ? 😵‍💫😵‍💫

that guy is a fraudster.. he ran away from Nigeria when efcc declared him wanted

IronGalaxy:
My guy, you're showing me a Nigerian song playing at a world cup stadium? Is that it? Its this what South Africans are supposed to be"envious" about? You really can't be serious..how old are you? 12? Unbelievable

DomPerignon:
Have you asked why we don't see this kind of level of success among your people in the United States or UK?

I only blame the corrupt ANC that even decriminalised many crimes and went really soft on many.

If this was the US, these guys will either be dead or spending the rest of their lives in US FSP maximum facility .

Nah South Africans and ANC I blame .

US are not as barbaric as SA. Ask yourself why hushpuppi isnt dead

Exactly, why we want you out..

What I don't understand is this: How is he mocking the culture? Can you please explain? I'm not interested in the display of wealth - ill-gotten or not - just the matter of "mocking the culture". How?

Whatever happened to FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION? When a rich Nigerian flaunts his wealth online many people are so quick to link it to proceeds of crime
What if he made his wealth through hard work and legally? I have watched the video and didn't really see anything wrong with what he did and he didn't seem to be insulting Zulus as alleged but on the contrary he was trying to identify with them. Not a crime or illegal for an African to dress like a Zulu or try to dance like them. He is just celebrating his achievement and the fact that he is not going back to where he came from. What's wrong with that? I don't think he did it out of envy or mockery. For now, no one has any evidence of him becoming rich through crime or illegality so don't be too quick to judge
He is just a happy dude celebrating his wealth.

WAT DID HE DO OR SAY TO CAUSE OUTRAGE?



SAYING HE IS NOT GOING BACK AND HE IS IN A MAYBACH?



OR WEARING ZULU ATTIRE AND DANCE MOVE?



LET ME GUESS HE SHOULD BE KILLED FOR THOSE REASON?


MAY GOD HELP US TO REASON BETTER

Last time I checked, I wasn't the one nagging and crying all over SM about how some foreigners are flaunting their wealth

So where is your 9m Rand car? If you don't have, Then stop crying and start working, maybe, just maybe, you'd be able to afford even if it's a 4.5m Rand one day

Where did he get $500k to buy the car? What business does he do?

I have Bleep 33 south African women and they say Nigeria men TV


quote author=RandDigital post=139951307]

They believe we envy their ill-gotten Maybachs. That time we're angry about the impunity and brazenness - our own rich don't behave in an appalling manner like this. Then a thief comes and calls you all sorts of names.[/quote]

Choose what you want to believe…. Nigeria is working and few people who are travelling out for greener pastures does not represent the entire 220 million population.

I want to let you know, we might have our own issues to deal with but Nigerians will never stoop low to loot peoples shop in crisis like this…. We’ve had our agent car vandalized at Damen Shipyard in Capetown….

Parking a car in Durban is a heavy risk, cos your car can be vandalized at any moment…. Lots of break-In and stealing by the locals
