madejibo:we will never do worse.. the worse that will happen we will complain and the goverment will have to send them parking and not us taking law into our hands by killing them...South Africa Has this animistic tendencies toward their African brothers.. if you feel your country is overwhelmed with refugees then take to the street and demonstrate peacefully with plat card to show your grievances... no body and i repeat no body should justify the killing of harmless people without any provocation from them...these victims are women and children inclusive.. and yet some Nigeria would justify this nonsense...we must condemn this act of violence of innocent souls just because they came to your country seek refuge that does not mean they should be killed like flies...Some Nigerian are natural selfish and self centered that they see nothing wrong with any terrible event as long as it does not come to their door step..no one know tomorrow..that is wht i have to say. 4 Likes |

I stay in south africa and work there as a professional but the system and ppl are not good. I personally don't have SA dude as friends as I see them as a jealous person,lazy and blame there laziness on other africans, I work as a consultant in south africa, every there is always an attack against forigners, the reason is always they taken our job,wife and bring crime to SA, all country already have his problem before any migrant come into the country,and as a nigeria or zim who came into SA they always willing and ready to work as they will have to pay bills monthly, expect for those that go for cheap labour, which I don't surpoort. SA labour law said, 60% of employee most be SA citizen and they complain seeing a foreigner working with them, but they don't see anything wrong when a white SA citizen with lesser qualification and exp get paid more than them due to skin colour, why must SA black pass anger to fellow blacks foreigner national? Most of the men are bitter when ever they see a foreigner dating the ladies, and not those that date them for paper purpose or club partners.. Nigerians,zim are the most hate foreigners in SA. On dif occasion I always explain to them nigeria is big with huge population and they can't generalized that all nigeria are bad or get involved in criminal activity. In South Africa we have nigerians in all sectors and still they hate us for reasons I don't know. Is tru the problem is always in the location where mainly blacks stays and some foreigners who can't afford huge rents, once such attack start expect dif behavior at work place. I decide to come back to Niger till they stop the problem. My life is more importnt thank the work. # boycottSAbusinessInNigeria 5 Likes |

madejibo: Well, the government has to play a big role here. There are many countries especially in europe that do not let you get even the most menial jobs if you dont have a work permit. I am talking of jobs as menial as packing dustbins. So what stops the sa govt to do the same? Now the onus is on the citizens to be able to decipher who tries to get into their lifes just for the purpose of getting a permit. If a foreigner comes to ypur own country and outshines you, then you have yourself to blame and there should be no excuse for that. I really just think SAcans suffer from very thick strokes of inferority complex. 1 Like |

Well there are bad people everywhere. To use the action of a minority to define the whole os SAcans is not fair at all.! Just like I always stand up against those foreigners that tries to use those few useless 419 guys to define Nigeria and label all Nigerians as fraud stars. Even in Nigeria, we have people that are worse than xenophobics. Within the last two weeks more than 30 people have been killed due to being member of an opposing political party in River State!. The Oba Of lagos asked people of different tribe to die in the lagoon, PDP chairman in Abia states asked Boko Haram to keep killing them in the north in as much as they dont come to his state! etc etc Even the hatred spewed on this forum against fellow Nigerian by some few ignoramus can not be compared to any stereotype we face outside the country. Yet all these does not define us as Nigerians for we are generally good people! |

Re: Xenophobia: View Of A Nigerian Living In SA by bankot123: 12:25pm On Apr 16, 2015 |
why are some people so insensitive to the plight of fellow Nigerians? while others are even claiming the attacks are rumors. Eyewitness report reaching me this morning said 10 Nigerians where among those killed in johannesburg last night. for the fact they are illegal immigrant does make them lesser human beings, it is them today it might be us tomorrow. it is so obvious that the black southafricans are bunch of jobless and lazy people. These acts of xenophobia is not about competition, but hatred and jealousy of other foreign blacks is the cause. the jobs are there but majority of them doesn't have any sort of qualification to seek white collar jobs, and are even too lazy do unskilled jobs. I hope with the advent of change, many Nigerian will reallocate back home and be satisfied with the little they have. As it is now, Nigeria is among the freest place to live on planet earth.

justwise:My straight forward and emotive answer would be yes, they should avoid going to places were there is a greater probability that they could be killed However, I understand that life doesn't work that way, especially when one is also faced with constant life threatening dangers plus economic challenges in the place where one comes from. So my diplomatic answer would be that those who which to travel to SA should try to gather as much information as possible (positive and negative info) and then use such information to try navigating through the labyrinth that is presently SA. |
