ZarZar:
I said nothing about "fear". I said the issues in our community sometimes reach a boiling point & the people attack those they perceive to be the root of the problem. Again, they attack the people they live with so to speak. Personally, I don't think the South African issue is xenophobic, more than it is frustration mixed with social ills that the govt. is not addressing quick enough. However, I'm not an expert so if whatever is happening qualifies as xenophobia, then xenophobia it is. Btw, everybody knows that Chinese keep to themselves so they rarely become targets because they don't mix with everybody but other Chinese nationals. Chinese are not trouble makers by nature, so the only loss most of them incur, almost weekly, are robberies. They're also aware that it comes with the package of living in a crime infested society because they rarely make noise about it.

The point is are you being exploiting by these foreign nationals aka the CHinese and the Europeans. Are you or are you not?

Just because these people wall themselves away from you does not negate the fact that you are being exploited by them.

Just because one population lives side by side with you and are flamboyant in their show of exploitation and the other are restrictive and hide away from you does not eliminate the cause-effect of the situation now does it?

@ Zarzar, you being a South African. Is it TRUE that Late Nelson Mandela's great grand daughter Zenani was killed in a car crash due to a suspected DRUNK DRIVER? i was taking a holistic view at our humanity. I mean our HYPOCRISY.

Sigh. Isn't China exploiting everyone though? They didn't gain their current economic boom by being dumb. They're strategic people, hence they don't like to attract too much attention to themselves. This conversation bores me now Morpheus, so I'll let you take out your beef with South Africa(ns) on another willing participant. Peace.

TBH, I didn't even know about that. It's the 1st time I'm hearing about her death now that you mention it. I'm not much of a news watcher, too depressing

You missed what i call 'VALUE FOR HUMAN DIGNITY' above all else. Late Mandela didnt attend the opening ceremony of 2010 FIFA world cup hosted by South Africa to tell you what a GREAT HEART he has. Unless our EDUCATION teaches us to value life beyond everything else. Our world wont stop bleeding at our feet. Like it or not. ALCOHOL IS A DEVIL.
bye for now

No beef, just logic arguments but I can accept that digging deep into the core rationals might be heavily tasking on your mind so you are excused.

LOL, Mandela was sick at the time. He was no spring chicken. Anyway, I get what you're trying to say & to some extent I agree with you.

Your profile shows you just joined NairaLand just yesterday, 23/2/17. Is this your first time?

I find you to be REASONABLE in your expression.

Well, If its your first time. My advice to you is this. BEWARE OF PEOPLE who are so used to vomiting 'MEANINGLESS VERBIAGE'

*Verbiage: speech or writing that has many UNNECESSARY WORDS in it.

People come here mostly to show that they went to school to learn how to read and write but not how to THINK IN A SENSIBLE WAY. Jargons of empty elegance and unmeaning futility.

So don't waste your time once you notice this kind of mentality.

Thank you for understanding what I was trying to say as regards ALCOHOL being a great HARM too to our collective humanity. ITS REALLY ABOUT THE DIGNTY OF LIFE AND NOT VAIN VANITY.

Nigerians have come here to shout while themselves do not value the life of their fellow Nigerian. I wonder how will a NON-NIGERIAN see any value in them.

It is Nigerians who travel abroad in purchase of FAKE DRUGS which has killed and keep killing their FELLOW NIGERIANS?

Their Doctors go on STRIKE. Caring not about people who are going to die.

It is NIGERIANS who keep diverting AIDS meant for the Internally Displace People in their country Nigeria. Leaving them in pain and agony.

Houses collapse at a blink of an eye due to carelessness in contruction. All because you have no sympathy and are always after MONEY.

How many people have died from RELIGIOUS and ETHNIC violence in NIGERIA?

YET, MY MAJOR POINT IS THIS: MAN IS A DISGRACE TO HIS CREATOR. (WHITE OR BLACK). HE CAN'T CREATE LIFE BUT IS ALWAYS READY TO OBLITERATE ONE.

If it was WHITES killing BLACKS in South Africa its going to be called RACISM. Now that its BLACKS killing their fellow BLACKS its called XENOPHOBIA.

We always have a name for decorating MURDER.

MAN IS A DISGRACE!!! EXCEPT THOSE WHO SEEK TO CURING THEMSELVES OF BEING LESS THAN ANIMALS.

THOSE WHO SEEK TO BE TRUELY HUMAN BEINGS BY BEING HUMANE.


Let us all work on our souls. ITS TOO DIRTY..................BLOOD EVERYWHERE.
What a world?

WELL, NIGERIANS, DON'T YOU KNOW THAT CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME?

Nigerians are being HUNTED like rats and SMASHED like Coc'kroaches all because they themselves keep making a STINKING MESS of a reputation of who they are like a DIRTY pit latrine full of SH!T.

People who choose not to grow.

Perhaps Mandela was sick on that day, but the above link tells their own story.
