You cannot eat your cake and still have it.

Once the cake is eaten, it is gone, meaning you cannot simultaneously consume a resource and keep it.
this is exactly what those of you agitating for Igbos to leave Lagos are praying for. We minorities saw things first hand in the 90's during Abiola riots and how the state ground to a literal halt but una no dey hear word which is all great cities need migrants. The South Africans are just starting their lessons but still have a very long way to go before they get sense and before you talk your nonsense, I'm proudly Ijaw

Is this Facebook propaganda supposed to stop South Africans from addressing the issue of mass illegal foreigners in their country?

Glimpsetv:
In the nighttime video, a South African man walks through the streets while filming and speaking to the camera. He shows various spots to illustrate his point.

He says:
“Business is dying in South Africa. Nobody is making money. Africans have left, and now we have our own businesses. It’s very clean, but it’s also very quiet.”

(Here "Africans" refers to foreign African nationals — immigrants and traders from other African countries such as Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and others who operated businesses, shops, and stalls in the area.)

He points the camera toward a food stall with well-grilled chicken and other meats on display, but notes there are no customers around. He then pans to an empty club area, saying it used to be bubbling and packed at this time, but now it’s completely quiet because the people (foreign Africans) who used to make the place busy have gone.

He continues:
“Around this time on a normal Saturday, you couldn’t even get through this street because it would be packed. But look at it now.”

The man adds that it will even be worse in the coming weeks because more foreigners will leave.


Purpose of the video:

The video is a direct on-the-ground complaint about the economic decline in the area. The man is showing the visible emptiness — quiet streets, idle food vendors with grilled chicken but no buyers, and a once-lively club now deserted — to demonstrate how the departure of foreign African nationals (who drove much of the customer traffic and hustle) has hurt local businesses. He warns that the situation will deteriorate further as more foreigners leave.

Call it what you want, a South African made the post. And he's not the first SA to post such things, expect many more of it in the coming months.
Lazy ass South Africans addressing the issue of mass illegal immigrants instead of their government, what can possibly go wrong with that?

Stop saying jargons...what happened during Abiola riots? Did anyone invited them? How come the igbos not doing the same thing in their states?

Freshtruth:
Na Igbo get Lagos the day Igbos decides to leave Lagos will be worse than Ondo and osin state
Na Lagos get Igbos, bcoz as you can see the Igbos are locked in already. You would think Lagos wouldn't thrive without the Igbos but in actual sense, the Igbos in Lagos wouldn't thrive without Lagos.

This is often referred to as Mutualism.

So when he's talking about a business dying, he's referring to a tarven being empty? Personally, I wouldn't mind if it closes down, my apologies to the owner.

But this should be good news.
Typical ! grin

It's bcoz the business doesn't belong to you. If I'm not affected, my neighbour can go to hĕll. grin

Some often refer to your kind of position as witcchcrafft. cool

Adeoye11:
But I have a question though, while listening to a popular radio station in adeola odeku I heard a caller saying he is calling from South Africa which makes me to ask that are there still some Nigerians in SA?

Then I hope we are learning for those calling for South Africans businesses to leave our country too.

You must be able to face the consequences of whatever decision you are making.

After they are done looting other African stores, they will start looting from fellow South Africans, which serves them right.
Re: South African Man Laments Businesses Dying After Foreigners Left (photos/video) by Samantha125(f): 12:19pm On Jul 22
Already we have enough tarvens in our townships and where there's a high concentration of tarvens there's always noise, destruction, violence, and public disorder.

In as much as I understand that the owner is only trying to make ends meet and provide for his family, but these tarvens have only caused more harm than good within our society... Had it been that is was a restaurant or a tuck shop, it would have been better.

The leadership of the nation is bereft of ideas on how to make the nation work.. sending out foreigners can be very counter productive to the nation"s economy.. They should have strived to enforce their immigration law to the later rather than employing barbaric approach .In two years time their economy will nosedive
