However Nigerian leaders have done more evil to Nigerians than South African recent xenophobia.

people forget

the arguement is always about receiving sympathy

we did this and did that..no one cares...all the money didnt go to the natives, it went to the ANC elites

is our foreign policy on getting sympathy or trying to hit them where it hurts

i am tired of hearing we send out feeding money to them to fight apartheid...no one cares about that

9ja should develop itself.

Like a typical 9ja girlfriend, if you become broke, she does not care about all the good things you did for her last week.

If we were like Malaysia or Dubai and 1m Xenophobians visit 9ja yearly, and 500k of them reside and work in 9ja, they would respect us.

The world is a market place. People only care about what they can get off you here and now. Your past acts of kindness don't count.

I agree 100%

ECOWAS? So ECOWAS still exists after all the damage to it by Tilumbu who planned war against some ECOWAS nations to please one Oyibo country?

Awon Storytellers Association of Nigeria! 😒😒😒

No mind dem, did SA force Nigeria to sacrifice it's scholarship fund? what rational thinking country does that?

Most reasonable countries would even deny doing such a thing as that is an indictment on how utterly clueless the leadership of that nation is.

You sacrifice the future of your own people to liberate another country.

And then there's the other side of the story, seeing as that woman fed 600 million Nigerian school children during COVID-19 (Mind you all schools were shutdown during that time) , who's to say this scholarship fund didn't end up liberating the pockets and bank accounts of Nigerian leaders?

who cares ,mr man fix your country

Me too. I did garri, garri, garri because dad was funding the struggle....c'mon veep, what is all this pity partying about. A country that fought two foreign wars almost simultaneously in the late 80's and 90's should have parked an aircraft carrier off the coast of the Cape to send shivers down their spines. Oh, Nigeria. What a man turned girl scout.

NIGERIA GOVERMENT WAKE UP AND FIGHT FOR NIGERIANS YOUR PEOPLE, STOP BARKING START BITING..... WE NEED ACTIONS NOT SLUGISHNESS.... OUR GOVERNMENT IS SLEEPING ON DUTY FOR NIGERIANS..... ONLY PURSUING SECOND TERM AND USING COURT JUDGEMENT TO FIGHT OPPOSITION PARTIES...

Na who send una?

Una just be like a father wey never feed family but dey dash people outside money...

No be craze dey una head so?

The earlier you guys fix your country so your citizens can feel at home the better.


I am in full support of whatever xenophobic attacks South Africa is giving the black Africans....

Brain....

South Africans know all these but don't just care. That's why I always advocate a stronger response rather than diplomatic and continuous empty talk.


By the way why is shettima expressing solidarity with Ghana when his citizens/country men are equally going through the same thing and being attacked? he should say his own and stop aligning/attaching with Ghana.


Why is he waiting for small - and I say that respectfully- Ghana to take the lead before attaching with them? Its just showing they ( nigerian leaders) lack direction and don't even know how to handle the whole issue with s/a but rather are taking the cue from Ghana.


Ghana has been at the forefront of all these setting the pace and direction while Nigeria has been behind following with no policy approach.


Shame on Nigeria who has been doing nothing but giving empty speeches when it should be at the fore as so called giant of Africa.

It's unbelievable that the same south Africa Nigeria and many other African countries sacrifices a lot for during apartheid, turn out to be ungrateful people, bitting the fingers that fed them when they are in need.

The younger generation are not interested in this. They just don't want immigrants especially the illegal ones and the criminals. Let's move on. God will reward us for all we've done. As we gave freely and shared love with them, God will bless and honour us in His own way.

Sorry

He gone

Move on

We get that but when a mozambican woman with an asylum case pending manages to open up a salon and is making an honest living is harassed by a mob that tell her to close down her shop because they don't like that she is there is borderline hatred.

They can't spin it any other way.

always crying.. its borderline pathetic..

seppuku:
My brother which African has not died in one way or another fighting their governments. Do they have a monopoly of death over the rest of us?

it is their own country, they fought for their own freedom not africn freedom..lets respect their own struggle

Been waiting for government to recall their consul and Ambassador make we close chapter.

I haven't been following this closely because SAs are trash, but have SAs chased out any white or Asian immigrants?

Show me one example.

BTW South Africa cannot legitimately complain about immigration. It's not like the US where Mexicans and Indians are everywhere like roaches and there's clear evidence that they're damaging the economy and putting a strain on resources. South Africa's biggest problem is the whites and Asians there that are robbing the country. But "black" SA are cowards who won't fight their real enemy on their own land.

South Africans have made it clear they dont want your people.. accept this and move on, at what point would you stop wailing about it? Move on..

nairalanda1:
It doesn't mean, despite my story above , that Nigerians and other Africans should violate South Africa's immigration laws and move in without being approved or without having the right visas, just to 'hustle'.

Immigration always affects the country that recieves and the country supplying in negative ways. And while xenophobia is wrong, if African countries had been more serious about development, there may have been reduced immigration.

Migrating to other parts of the world doesn't mean your country isn't developed or has a bad economy.

Sometimes you move to do business or explore or learn specific skills and practices on those countries.

One thing that took me to south Africa was a scholarship for masters on a specific course that no Nigerian university offers. During my time there, it was one messy country that I couldn't spend a day after my studies. I returned.

But other Nigerians I met there where doing very well with their businesses. But as usual, tribalism was visibly seen amongst Nigerians there. No go close to Igbo people, while igbos would see me and advised that I should be careful with yorubas.

I am wailing about xenophobia. If you don't want Nigerians, do the needful and ask your government to close your embassies in Nigeria and withdraw diplomatic ties.

There is some bad cult/fraternity activity there as well. Most doctors I know have also left to Canada and Saudi Arabia citing the same discriminatory actions in health care.

Yes, we don't want them, what else?

The Nigerian government should stop all this rhetoric . Like the great Winston Churchill once said: deeds not words!

Oga vice presido stop all the bs talks and act...fvckin develop some spine and make these SA guys learn.

And to fellow Nigerians living in SA you are on your own, if they don't want you in their country I don't know what you are still doing there.
