Out of more than 500,000 Nigerians in South Africa, only about 1490 have been evacuated or repatriated. That's about just 0.3%. This means more Nigerians are still in South Africa than those who left.
This is a false report.
We had about 24,000 Nigerians living in South Africa before now. Upon evacuation of 1,490 Nigerian nationals from South Africa, currently there are around 22,510 still living in there.

If some Somalians have not formed the habit of perpetrating crimes, how would the innocent ones be tagged among the criminals? When a certain group of Somalians rob and break into shops, killing and maiming innocent countries in their host countries, how do you not expect the innocent to be tagged among the criminals. The General name is Somalian because Somalians were arrested severally and jailed.
You have just made a general statement about a group of people, nothing more.

ElevationD:
An asylum seeking Somalian breaks the law when he commits crime. He no longer is entitled to his request. He must be deported just like others.
So you are talking about Somalians who are criminals and not Somalian people in general, yes?

On this platform, read through and you’ll find comments in support of immigrants who break the laws of their host countries.
Put up some examples lets examine, shall we.

This mass exodus of over 160,000 people is a painful reminder that there is truly no place like home. Nobody wants to flee to a foreign country just to face hostility and violence, but failing economies force people out.
If our home countries were stable and prosperous, mass migration wouldn't be necessary. It is high time we hold our leaders by the balls and completely accountable. We need to demand real development and job creation at home, or kick them out of office. We must build nations our people don’t feel forced to leave.
That isn't a mass exodus. 🥱🥱

24,000 Nigerians in South Africa? Where did you get that bloody nonsense from? Nigerians in Nigeria know that number has to be the biggest joke of the year. 🥱🥱

Do not contradict yourself please.

I did not make a general statement. My comment was very clear.

When some Nigerians commit crimes abroad, do you not read the name Nigeria? Are the individuals singled out according to their tribes? They carry their country’s passports and not their tribe’s passports. That’s the same for persons of other nationalities.

The challenge with the country is the few individuals who have chosen to disgrace their countries.

There are registered 30k Nigerians in SA, only 2k went back home. But we know there are 500K to 1 MILLION!

How dare Abuja have loud mouth for just 3 flights?
