Simply leave South Africa and go home. Go and build your own home. Leave South Africans with their country.

Make Nigeria great. Appoint great and accountable leaders and see how the country will blossom. The country was way better than this in the 70s, 80s and 90s until politicians came and ruined it all.
in fact it should include go to your village. Have something doing for your village, and I don't mean building a house of yours. That is how we can develop Nigeria

Ireti Yusuf, one of the finest journalists in Nigeria. Take time and listen to her program on Fridays and Sunday mornings. A very seasoned journalist. See some of the comments from ill informed Nigerians above, telling her to leave south Africa.

For crying out loud, she is a journalist. Journalists are meant to travel and cover events that are happening. She was there, asking the tough questions on behalf of nigerians and some are here, telling her to come back

It's just hate, pure hate. You see how those data Bois say how dare you for anyone asking their lords questions of accountability, that's how they are raging now. Out of the abundance of the heart, you can see their words

Nigerians like wahala sef. Ha! Leave South Africans alone na. Ha ba!

Allow the Nigerian president show that Rasta...nonsense (that their president) that we will always be their father anyway. Let them run their mouths. Let them open threads.

By the way, I like how Seun and the mods are making them feel OK here. Thats what big brothers do na. While the Op is promoting signing one of our as enemy of SA, Seun is moving their stories to the front page. That's the spirit. Thats the big man's game. Lets make them run their mouths. The future will tell. Lol.n

We wont touch any of their properties..never. Let them keep doing their thing. Make dem drink all the beers in our people's shop na.

Guess what? That yeye man their president sent was not attended to well. Thanks for Bianca Ojukwu who told Mr President to let him dey his lane.

South Africans are running their mouths. But when we were giving them $20B, they were thanking us. Mandela in his grave knew what we did for them. And we gave them 300 passports when they were slaves in that place they said they are protecting. We will keep telling them. We gave them $20B + plus over 300 passports. Yes. .we did. No nation provided whom with $1B. We gave them $20B. So, are they saying all the bad things Nigerians are doing is up to one passport we gave them? They have the mind to say we should go build out nation. That nation that freedom them. No wahala na.

Leave them. Like i wrote earlier. I want to see the Nigerian president who dem born well who will ever issue 1 Nigerian passport to them again. Sebi they are sure that they are in control. Right? Leave them. When their eyes go clear, and they are back in the chains of the white (modern chains), i want to see the Nigerian president who dem born well to issue them just one paspport or give them $1.

Right now, let them keep having their fun. Let them keep insulting us. Like I said, i dont blame them, but Nigerians.

South Africa could deport massively these people legally, and no one would have complained. But they started killing our people, hailing insults on them? Thats a NO.

I laughed so hard the way that guy who their president is sending to nations countered the Ghanian who wanted to make them a subject of discussion in the next AU conference. Lol. Nigeria wouldn't do that. And that's why we ar3 dangerous. Trust Nigeria. Na the Ghanian president who attended to him I blamed. Seee how Naija is doing his big man thing.

See eh! Their president is so afraid of what Nigeria might do. Cos he is confused. Our president isnt doing anything to even retaliate. Lol. They thought we would have touched their investments here. But we haven't, and we wont. Lol. They actually want us to touch them so they can hold on to that. But we have refused to fall into that trap.

See....I predict 10 years max. They will lose that political power. The blacks will lose it. Then, the whites will combine their economical power with political and chain than with modern strategy such that no one will come for them. And they have even sent all their friends away. Lol.

Dog wey waka astray no go hear the hunter's whistle na. South Africa don waka. See eh. Dem koboko and blala will come in full package. Just less than 20 years of dominance ooo...see how they are flexing muscles. Dem go chop am for centuries to come. Leave them. See...just expect them to be running to Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, etc starting from the next decade. These ones that are no strategic. Lol.

So, I am allowing them to run their mouths here. Let them attack my post. Lol.

Seun, keep pushing them to the front page. Internet doesnt forget. In 20 years when they have come to their senses, we will package everything here for them. Na so na. So, let them run their mouths here.

Re: Ireti Bakare-Yusuf: South Africans Petition To Ban Nigerian Journalist by GerogeI(m): 6:53pm On Jul 31
Lol. OK let me give you guys a good way to shut up these South African dumb fellows.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs should draw together documents from reports made to South African Authorities on the death of several Nigerians and linking them to the so called March and March movement, and all their other zulufoolish movements. The major ones though.

Nigerian Intelligence should then open an investigation on the March and March and the other one led by one guy that looks like Zinjathropus.

Issue an interpol arrest warrant through Nigerian courts for Jacinta Zuma and the Zinjathropus Man, plus any other prominent leader of these violence acts, for Murder, intimidation, terrorits threats and organized crime. Totally ignore South African Authorities while doing it. Once done, those two will never travel outside South Africa ever again. Do not worry about which countries will implement the arrest. They too do not know and will rather play safe and stay put in South Africa.

Further, form a working group with Kenya, Zimbabwe, Malawi etc forget African Union. Issue a multi-national arrest warrant for any South African Government official or politician that openly advocates for these xenophobic violence outside of the stipulations of South African law and the Human Rights Charter of UN. If they visit any small country like Malawi which South Africa can Intimidate, make sure you have a ready jet and fast judicial process to transfer them to Nigeria for proper trial

Ignore all communications from South African Government once you make any targeted arrest. Sameway they play comatose and allow non state actors to be killing and intimidating foreigners . When done, South African Govt. Officials, Ministers without diplomatic passport will fear to leave South Africa. Trump will also be very happy to make a few arrest of those indirectly killing white farmers, and pretending they are more righteous than Isreal.

Case Closed. No diplomatic row. Just ignoring communications.

Some flights from South Africa needs to land and Refuel when trying to reach Europe or US. Such transits with good intelligence tracking are perfect for arresting their Government officials. They will start doing direct flights only. Apart from that, their former enemies such as UK, and Netherlands ( Dutch) will be very happy to honour a multi national arrest warrant in order to set an example for government accountability on illegal use of mob violence for political agenda.

Kemetian:
But that means you MUST also support our banning the over 150 large South African companies from operating in Nigeria.

They make billions daily in this country.

We don't have to let them be here at all.

If it's a technology thing, we have growing indigenous capacity, and we have China.

We don't need even ONE South African company in Nigeria.

So if Nigerians must stop going to South Africa as you demand, then all their companies MUST leave Nigeria.

Comprende?
No that's not how to go about it. There are diplomatic and financial ways of dealing with them. Impose strict taxes on their businesses and it will force them to close down and Nigerians will take over.

Sharaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap...

If TINUBU was PO you will call him a saint and later betray him. Now, Tinubu (a criminal and failure) is whom you support, but you insult Peter obi?

South Africans aren't shallow . You support a shameful person as President. A man that encourages local xenophobia in Nigeria and you think other countries dont know?

The Nigerians that we're making noise about banning Tyla are just plain stupid and short sighted.

Rather than hold their government accountable, they are looking for ways to get back at South Africans in their foolish internet rivalry.

The South Africans themselves who are involved in this xenophobic thing are normally idiots but why Nigerians will decide to roll in the mud with them, I don't know.

A lot of Nigerians going about their legitimate businesses in South Africa will be the victims of this and I guess the dumb Nigerians will also begin to target South African businesses in Nigeria next.

At the end of the day, nothing gets better for both countries just increase in hate and violence.

You stopped a South African musician from performing in Nigeria, what did you achieve with that?
Nothing but stupid pride in a pointless internet war.
If your brother or sister was killed in South Africa madness, you won't be talking like this. Or if your investment that worth millions of naira was destroy you won't be speaking rubbish. Which school did you attend?

That one with no etiquette, and we can tell that her journalism degree she got it in 24 hours, or at the most seven days, because she has no journalist skills.

Please, there's a petition out here. We need to block this lady, number one, from ever benefiting from anything from South Africa. She cannot travel to South Africa, and she shouldn't even be doing interviews in South Africa.

Right here, they explained it. I'm gonna put the link in the comment section. Okay, yeah, we're gonna see who's Mumu. Okay, we're gonna see who are the rude people here because how dare you think you can eat from using the word South Africa? We're gonna make sure, and it's not just you. It's not just you.

We should declare Ireti Bakare-Yusuf a persona non grata in South Africa, which means that we don't want her. Which means that moving forward, we want her to have nothing. Okay, let Nigeria feed her. Let the Nigerians build her content. Okay, let her go be 100% Nigeria in Nigeria and leave us alone because we want nothing to do with them.

Ends with expletive.

Note: South Africans were also angered by a confrontation between Bakare-Yusuf and SA Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi at a recent media briefing.

These xenopobic clowns are overrating themselves.

The class of Ireti cannot be found in all South African tribes bar the whites that are the main owners of the country of course

They are lucky this their primitive actions is happening at a time BAT that is president and not OBJ or Waziri. They would have known that power supply and skyscrapers doesn't make a country great. It's the content and quality of their people in all ramifications of life.

Something that we have in abundance over SA globally

If Nigeria goes on a petition spree on any of their few global personalities it will break the internet.

Buffoons!!!

Mr Seun, Patriotism is loyalty to your Country. It can be expressed in so many ways. There is really no justified reason for Samantha and Randdigital to be so confident in creating triggering posts which usually are insulting to Nigerians.

They should have been banned a long time ago.

Once again, you Nigerians need to learn how to be strategic in your thinking. It's not everything you must be loud and noisy about.
It's not everytime you must prove to the rest of Africa what you are not.
Before you go to war with anybody, count the cost and know where to hit your rival the hardest.

Your banning Tyla from Nigeria is a very stupid move because of your short sightedness and emotional overreaction to events
Nigeria is not even in Tyla's top five biggest market so she doesn't even care.
You have achieved nothing with that action only to hurt Nigerians in South Africa more and Nigerian artistes who might be performing in South Africa.

The South Africans themselves are looking to react irrationally and you have now stooped to their level.

Anyway if una like, make una carry this same mumu thinking enter everywhere. Na the reason why this country no get any leader wey get head.
Na just people wey dey find wetin go make them dey carry shoulder up
Re: Ireti Bakare-Yusuf: South Africans Petition To Ban Nigerian Journalist by RandDigital(op): 2:57pm On Aug 01
Iteri I think your mistake was interviewing Jacinta first without getting sense of the lay of the land. Kubayi incident definitely humbled you - read the room, no other journalists acted like you (desist from Nigerian main character attitude when in SA).... You were definitely humbled and rattled on camera.

I've since watched your interviews on Arise and they changed of you to positive.
