This OP is super high! I listened to BBC radio and those who were interviewed as Nigerians in SA only spoke thick Igbo accent, do we then conclude that only those set of Nigerians leave in SA?

Amazingly the more intelligent he tries to sound the more hateful and vengeful he appears to be. Nigerians irrespective of tribes are being attacked in a foreign land and all you can do is draw a parallel between the attacks and that which occurs in your country.
How sick can one get on the internet. He is really super high on Zulu weed.

And u really think u deserve my attention with ur dumb frivolous response.
I never knew olodocism is now a profession

you can't answer the question that much is clear

I see some of you were expecting me to massage your ego with statements like Nigerians are hardworking, South Africans are lazy, South Africans are jealous of Nigerians, Nigerians have swag and taking their women, well sorry to disappoint you, while some of these or all of them can be true does that mean Nigerians should not respect their host anymore? Or live a crime free life, All the above ego massage is also applicable in Lagos but you never see Igbo rise against the Yoruba's in Lagos even in the face of xenophobic, tribal and anti economic policy against the Igbos in Lagos and Nigeria at large even when these acts are seen to be clearly aided by The government.

Everyday here on Niaraland we see us calling our fellow Nigerians drug lords, drug barons and insult them but when South Africans confirm the Veracity of such claims that Nigerians are drug pushers and say they don't want it on their land we revolt, does that mean Nigerians well in this case (video) Yorubas support the drug trade, why revolt for a thing so shameful. Do you people think other foreign nationals don't know what happens in Nigeria, if Nigerians do xenophobic acts to one of their own and laugh about it as if it were a comedy skit why hurt when others do it to you on their home front, if this is not hypocrisy then I don't know what is. Maybe Nigerians think the world is not aware of what happens to their very own citizens here in Nigeria. Only the Truth can set you free.

Well said though you're been truthful but you have to be more patriotic as a Nigerian and support your people

This video goes a long way to show those giving Nigeria a bad name in South Africa. The same thuggish and toutish lifestyle that they have introduced and sustained in Lagos and made Lagos famous for they have also started to introduce in South Africa. I think this is what the South Africa's are fighting against. Frankly speaking no ethnic group in Nigeria will tolerate this sort of confrontation or aggression from non natives even the smallest of all, so why should Nigerians support or encourage it, have we thought of the ripple effect, we should call the presidency to live up to its calling. Two wrongs can't make right, so Nigeria's decision to confront can't resolve the issue rather it will escalate it, we don't want to have genocide of Nigerians living in South Africa.

Please fellow Nigerians let's speak against such action by these set of Nigerians and ask that they leave peacefully with their host as they have always preached. Nigerians while we condemn the actions of the South Africans against Nigerians and other black Africans we should be sincere and non hypocritical to tell ourselves the truth. We all know president Zuma have condemned the xenophobic killings and destruction. Why is our acting president not proactive enough to guarantee the safety of lives and property of Nigerian living abroad, ordinarily the presidency should have called Nigerians living in South Africa to return home and sent ready flight to bring them home, presidency should also be in talks with South Africa government to end the killings and destruction, and it should have as a matter of urgency send envoy to South Africa or even visit to show solidarity and commitment to the well being of these Nigerians.

Please do not turn this thread to a tribal bashing thread let us condemn the actions of these few as their actions are making life for other Nigerians who are living and doing genuine business in South Africa miserable. Why can't they wait for the Nigerian or South African government to protect them or stage peaceful protest for the whole world to see what's happening in South Africa instead of being a nuisance to South Africans.

Please: before you comment or bash the OP make sure you watch the video, I don't want comments from outside the context of the video as this post is based strictly on observations made from the video. Also nothing in that video shows Nigerians forming a vigilante, so please do watch and listen to what they are saying before you comment.

If you were based in South Africa and they have butchered you, your wife and children, you won't be on Nairaland spewing trash because of political correctness.

onyebest123:
U are saying nonsense, verbal nonsense, so because am not an indigene u will kill me and u expect me to fold my arms and die??! I can't believe a human being is saying this, it's the right of a country to protect all immigrants , since the government can't let then defend themselves, the highest thing they will do is deport them alive not dead

why do you desperately want Nigerians and South Africans to have confrontation tell me what you stand to gain from that, how will that foster peace between Nigerians and South Africans do you think everything will remain the same after such confrontations, we need peace not more crisis in Africa let's learn to promote peace and tolerance wherever we find ourselves we have been doing that in Nigeria, that why we are still together and going strong. Thank you, God bless.

Mr man stop spewing lies trash and hate, except you are referring to Nigeria show me where the South Africans killed A man his wife and child as you claim and I will show you 10 of such occurrences here in Nigeria stop the lies stop promoting hate what do you stand to gain from such confrontations between both nationals or you just want to satisfy you pride and ego of saying Nigerian are tougher than South Africans, I hope if the crisis you pray for ensues you will be there to defend our helpless Nigerian brothers and sisters, mothers and daughters and children who have no means to defend themselves and not the rugged ones on the streets giving Nigeria a bad image who have means to defend themselves cause thats the life they are used to in South Africa already. Think jare.

LeSudAfricaine:
stop nonsense , who rapes Nigerians? Nigerians are hated worldwide, It's not a south African phenomenon. Malaysia and India are kill I g Nigerians for sport! Btw hard work s not exclusive or Nigerians . You are hard working but you are known all over Africa for cutting corners and making easy money conning people. If you work so hard , why is your country such a zoo?

Na your foolishness pain me. I know how Nigerians behave and we can almost say they spoil countries they enter with either drugs prostitution and other criminal acts but not all Nigerians.

Even in Americans there are criminals and technological ones too. In this useless south African na land of rapists and crimes.

Why do think the USA take their criminals to guantanamo bay? Isn't it du to prison breaks?

I'm Nigerian and I know how we are but criticizing these people who are face to face with death is foolishness. In a foreign land where you are wanted for the kill, what will you do?

damn Nigerians are just hypocrites, South Africans hate you for the same reason you call igbo's chest beaters. When igbo's say they developed Lagos or that they are hated for being hardworking or successful in their trade, you hate them, castigate them and tag them chest beaters your government demolish and burn their shops and even go as far as deporting them back to their villages, but when South Africans abhor such toward Nigerians they are Xeno's, one would expect that Nigerians would condemn the South Africans for their actions on fellow Africans while calling their children, sons and daughters to order.

Well we can keep acting like we are not guilty of all this here in Nigeria even when the govt encourages it yet no one is forming vigilante groups to protect themselves in Nigeria, so why do this in a foreign land don't you guys realize this act can be seen as confrontation by the South African government, Nigerian are not innocent of xenophobic acts either have we forgotten the once famous Ghana must go, we even have Ghana must go bags to forever remind us of this, I have picture from the time too, so nairalanders are calling me out now for reminding them of the most common saying on Niaraland "Respect your host" except you all want to tell me that saying is only applicable to Igbo's in Nigeria who are seen as 3rd class citizens in their own country that they struggled to redeem from the colonialist.

Let us all stop deceiving ourselves, i condemn the act by South Africans In the same weight I condemn the act by my fellow Nigerians, we here in Nigerian should even be proactive enough to call the government to live up to its responsibility of protecting the life of its citizens both home and abroad. The Nigerian government should not make Nigerian citizens have to take law into their hands and be seen as threat to foreign nationals in foreign nations. I indulge your understanding I am not judging or blaming anyone neither am I throwing tantrums, I just don't want Nigerians to put themselves harms way in another mans land. This is how genocide starts, can any ethic group do this in Northern Nigeria so why do it in foreign land, ordinary I stand with Nigeria peaceful protest we could not do in the north for fear of the natives or security yet we brazenly do so in other nationals home soil very disrespectful and shameful, #govtprotectnigerians

Why don't you just talk staight instead passing coded message? You intentionally play a video of Yorubas in SA in order to make it look like it is then that are miscreants. Your defense is to denigrate the Yorubas and how they have responded to Ibos in SW Nigeria. Thunder destroy your entire family for this rubbish post. A**hole.

mr man go and eat gravel at your age one would think you have a functional brain in your head sadly thats not the case, it however appears you are happy with your life that way. Fool.

Hear this loony in limbo getting the idea of my age in his mania,ur stupidity is jampark and fatuous. So pathetic some fellas like you can still give perfidious reason for animalistic behaviour displayed by monkeys in 21 century like i said earlier you have no idea of what happening in SA.

simply put you wrote trash and still lack a functional brain to make any reasonable input in intellectual discuss, cause if you did you would communicate with morals or decorum and yes you still need that functional brain. being a father and living in your father house does not make you a child grow up grow balls go out there get a job get a life move out of your fathers house oh i mean your childrens grand fathers house. I still maintain you lack a developed functional brain cause if you had one you would know whats happening SA will not be good for Nigerians if it becomes a full scale conflict. Grow sense.

myplaydiary:
2things are involved you are either a fool or a war monger. I would say both. Whats wrong with me preaching peace and asking Nigerians to thread with caution so it does not result in a full blown conflict that could result in the genocide of the Nigerians you so love. Even in Nigeria we thread with caution in issues like this all the time so why is this any different.

Now tell me why you want a conflict so badly between both ethnic nationals whats your interest in the conflict how does it benefit the Nigerians there if not put them in more harms way. You are simply an ignorant foolish war monger in a safety zone waiting to count score thats what you are foolish war monger.

You are an idiot, in fact an imb*cile! You have picked the wrong guy to confront. Did you say it shouldn't result to genocide when it's already one against Nigerians and other blacks? Are you crazy? Infact you don't know the word genocide and what do you call burning people alive, stoning them to death and shooting them in cold blood?

See this educated fool! You are very stupid you hear.


You claim to be a peace maker but your original post was criticizing those people who have themselves to protect against S.A police and touts. You fool said they are displaying some kind of altitude and suggesting they are touts.

Make thunder fire you!

Peace maker indeed. You are not learned than me you fool. Go check up what peace maker and genocide mean.

What has yoruba got to do with it? They are Nigerians and we are all one! I am delta ibo and speak both igbo and yourba; are you saying all the people in that videos a yourbas? Edos, igbos etc don't speak yourba?

I don't care your foolish tribal thought but all I see are Nigerians and they are defending themselves and brothers. Those so called yourbas will defend all Nigerians in th face of these crisis whether you be ibo o not. Didn't you hear dem say 9ja?

You see yorubas but I see Nigerians

Nigerians and hypocrisy, if it was Igbo that was spoken in that video you will see all of them screaming "Igbo's respect your host". All of you hailing these Nigerians now for this unguarded act is it now safe to say it is okay for Igbo's, Fulani's, Ijaws, and other ethnic group to protect themselves from xenophobic acts that occur on a daily basis in Lagos. Why can't yorubas take their own advice instead of disgracing Nigerians living in diaspora. Igbo's are known to live in every single country in every continent of the world yet they have never been any report of this sort of aggressions by them or against them in any country, not even in South Africa.

This video clearly show yorubas are the people perpetuating these nefarious acts in South Africa, If South Africans condemn a certain evil or crime, which is a crime punishable in all country of the world, and even some of these crime punishable by death in some countries, now tell me why yorubas should have a problem with that, yorubas should help them rid their country of such crime, please sentiments apart Nigerians should condemn this action for the sake of all Nigerians at home and in diaspora. Many of you taking shot at me have never left the shore of this country and are only used to the barbarism that some Nigerians pride itself in. We all want a Nigeria of our dream let's build it and help those who have achieved theirs sustain it. Thanks and God bless.

I am sure we are all familiar with these photos.

Thank you for exposing their hypocrisy. It just goes to show how quickly a narrative can change when the facts come to light.

myplaydiary:
I am sure those of you commenting above did not watch the video you only read "Nigerians form vigilante group" and you base your arguement on that, Please watch the video before commenting and I said let's not be hypocritical or sentimental rather let's be objective in our reasoning. Those of you saying so they should not protect themselves, does the law give them the right as foreigners to protect themselves, they should expect the proctection from the South Africa government or better still the Nigerian envoy, this goes a long way to show that the Nigerian government is not proactive and does not care about the welfare of it citizens.

For those of you saying the op is this or that I think you guys are just being hypocrites or myopic in your reasoning, iPob have been protesting peacefully and have been getting shot, what would you say tomorrow if you read that iPob forms a vigilante against the very people shooting them, the Igbo business men spread across the state of the federation have been continually harassed in the course of their trade what would you say if you read that they formed a vigilante in a state like Lagos, I bet yoruba's would say Igbo have come to grab their lands.

Have you guys forgotten so soon how a Igbo chief was flogged for parading himself as a Igbo chief (Eze Ndi Igbo) in Osun state and many hailed the Oba for the flogging even when it should have been condemned, have you guys forgotten so soon the oba statement about drowning in the river, what if groups were formed to avert such reoccurrence, all I am trying to point out is that there is a due process to get things done a right of way, if you take laws into your hands the consequences might be over bearing, if the South Africans decide to take on the Nigerians do you guys hailing them on really think the Nigerians stand a chance, I bet you guy will be the first to scream genocide.

Please let's reflect deeply on the consequences of our action before we embark on them or speak out the actions of our brothers in that very video up there is bad, a shame and should be condemned by all even by the Nigerian government. A word is enough for the wise.

You are saying total rubbish. Are you in south Africa ? If not then you are totally saying rubbish and rubbish. I am in south Africa and I have experienced such incident before in cape town before I came to Johannesburg to study. south Africa police will be watching while their citizens continue looting foreigners properties since the police could not protect them, do you expect them to keep watching while they loot their properties and killed thier people. you are saying rubbish once again.
let me give you my own scenerio. I was robbed broad day light while the people around were looking at me while i was robbed and attacked with a dangerous weapon, none of these people can rescue me or even say a words when they finished, they left me in a pool of blood, I have to manage myself to get home. Please, stop saying what you don't know.

back to sender in 10 folds not my portion jump and pass now to subject at hand you are either not yoruba or you lack sense or you are one of those touts in Lagos. Cause no yoruba like the tout on the streets of lagos even the government have tried to eradicate them severally to no avail so why are you campaigning for them? Or why then do you want them in South Africa. Do you like those touts that you see fighting everyday on the streets of lagos cause no reasonable yoruba likes them, now grow sense and Bleep off my mention

The op is right in that many Nigerians condemning these xenophobic attacks in South Africa turn a blind eye to similar injustices that happen on their own soil. People can moan and complain all they want but that is the bitter truth of it. It's hypocrisy of the highest order . Many Nigerians in these countries go there to partake in illegal activities and this is mostly due to the fact that they come from a country that has very little to offer them. Many of these people aren't career criminals, rather people who've seen an opportunity to make money and have taken it.

Simply put the pictures you posted there are the very reasons i created this thread but every one is calling me out please if Nigerians dont want to see more images like this on cnn, bbc and fox please lets avoid confrontations with SA cause the SA i saw during the apartheid can do anything to Nigerians, then again why are you all not asking what the presidency is doing about all of this instead everyone here is kicking up dust

Thank you for this comment it is amazing the level of hypocrisy in the country everyone is shying away from this truth yes i know a very bitter one to swallow but it remains the truth, even igbos too are now scared to speak against the injustice on them while acting like same does happen here in the country.

Madam please get your facts before you comment and don't let s stupid write up to confuse you.

So these black foreigners are being killed because of ilegal activities in S.A right? OK what did the white south Africans do to the blacks that made the blacks to carry out genocide on them some few years back?

Were the whites into illegal dealings and spoiling south Africa too? Remove the whites from S.A and see if that country won't become like every other black African country. Look at Zimbabwe today after what they did to their whites, they are a shadow of what they were.

Mtn, shoprite, dstv etc, you hear sey na black man get am? Whites made S.A what it is today yet suffered genocide too.

Do you know why they can't try that on whites again? Obviously it's a white world and international community would have warned that country. So their frustration is taken on other blacks.

These useless black S.A are just lazy period!
