Imagine police went their to stop the attack... Please show them how South Africa police are backing their own to attack, maim and loot shops belonging to foreigners... Even deputy South Africa police commissioner justified their actions, they only went their for the thank you brown envelope they will get later... Eye for eye, ear for ear, head for head everyone will respect himself, if you don't want illegal immigrants stop issuing out visas to them as if ur life depends on it, give them last warn to leave peaceful or face deportation, America government are tighting up their borders and immigration laws and nobody is dying... South Africa over rated country

Anybody trying to attack:
These are what you shld do first:
1. Wear a face mask
2. Tie a black scarf around your face
3. Wear jeans and tight fitting gear to protect yourself.
4. When attack begins, go after the CCTV camera first.
5. Seek for the control room and destroy every video records.
6. Then, start the destruction proper.

Good luck.

The joke is on you! Those shoprites branches you see belong to Nigerians. Its called a 'franchise', you can look up the word. You can buy a franchise to open a shoprite; royalties are being remitted to the brand owners, who may not even be in Nigeria. Same goes for MTN; most of the outlets are owned by Nigerians, selling services offered by MTN and remitting to MTN. MTN is now listed in Nigerian stock exchange and sold-out within two days. Who you think over-subscribed the shares? They generate tax revenue, have Nigerian staff, supervisors and Managers, have chains of outsourced services that keeps other Nigerian SME's running, engage in CSR's that contribute in its own little way to improve communities they are; they contribute positively to the Nigerian economy!

Be there and be destroying Nigerian businesses while those motherfvckers kill people. They waste people's lives and you are looting groceries and table water.

Jokers!
Been trying to tell these people that we don't have the same leverage on SA as they do on us. Nobody wants to hear. The first response for so many is close MTN, Shoprite, DSTV as if we won't also lose from that.

Truth be said, no much damage can be done. Our police would hold us down.

IMO, a peaceful protest and ask them to just shut down all their businesses till the #X is settled.

There's a South African Embassy in this country, isn't it? There's a United Nations office in this country where SA holds a respectable seat isn't it? Why can't we occupy those offices till further notice?

Nigerian policemen protecting South African businesses in Nigeria? While South African policemen look the other way while Nigerian businesses are looted and destroyed in South Africa!

Interesting indeed.
Re: #Xenophobia: Lekki Shoprite Shut Down To Avoid More Attack As People Stormed It by Nobody: 5:15pm On Sep 03, 2019
Nigerians have to show the government and people of South Africa that there's a price to pay for killings of innocent Nigerians in their country. If they know that their investments in Nigeria are not safe, then they would force their government to do something about incessant killings of Nigerians. This is not the first time that they had attacked law abiding Nigerian citizens doing legitimate business in their country and nothing was ever done about it. So, that's the reason they keep doing it expecting no repercussions. It 's up to ordinary citizens to take it upon themselves and take actions to let them no that Nigerian lives are not to be wasted for nothing. As smart as Nigerians are, they can come up with IEDs and fire bomb their establishments in the dead of the night and set them on fire.

Any difference between yourself and an armed robber? These are the same instructions for robbing a well secured home.

That shoprite is the first one they built. Most of the first strictures built by South Africans were to spec, before they realised you can get away with anything in Nigeria. You think all cameras are those cheap Chinko? You know vandal resistant cameras? You know cloud hosting of cctv?

You think this is like small businesses. Nigerians, wealthy connected Nigerians own the businesses in shoprite.

Most of them have police commissioners on their payroll in one form or another.

Bullshitt.
The South African embassy just said there was no xenophobia and that those were random acts of criminality.
How exactly do you expect to reason with such institutional irrationality.?
The Nigerian govt have tried diplomacy with their govt.
What has it accomplished?

There are report of Nigerian deaths trickling in, and you expect people to be less emotional and behave well.

Is it because it does not affect you personally?

They do not even understand scale. The people and businesses being murdered in SA are the little guys. Any big organisation in this country has a security budget. Every mtn, shoprite or other SA company has a security department with ex police or military. They have been planning or preparing for this since nans started making noise.

They all have invested Nigerian partners and workers and service providers.


A situation where the Nigerians exit sa and the South Africans exit Nigeria will show the radical difference in investments.

There is no proper answer to this.

I dont condone violence but it's only when big men are affected that change happens. Even if it is Nigerians that own the SA franchises here, the big men in SA will fell the impact. when they feel the effect, they call their people in SA to order.

The joke is on you! Those shoprites branches you see belong to Nigerians. Its called a 'franchise', you can look up the word. You can buy a franchise to open a shoprite; royalties are being remitted to the brand owners, who may not even be in Nigeria. Same goes for MTN; most of the outlets are owned by Nigerians, selling services offered by MTN and remitting to MTN. MTN is now listed in Nigerian stock exchange and sold-out within two days. Who you think over-subscribed the shares? They generate tax revenue, have Nigerian staff, supervisors and Managers, have chains of outsourced services that keeps other Nigerian SME's running, engage in CSR's that contribute in its own little way to improve communities they are; they contribute positively to the Nigerian economy!

Be there and be destroying Nigerian businesses while those motherfvckers kill people. They waste people's lives and you are looting groceries and table water.

Jokers!
While your point is correct, you have made incorrect statements about them being Nigerian franchises. If all those shoprites are franchises owned by Nigerians, can you name at least one Nigerian owner? Same goes for MTN.

Your knowledge in IT is obviously limited to phishing and scam emails. Seems just as you louts have a yahoo school, you also have a robber school.

You are just like the looters a lazy failure looking for an excuse to rob hardworking people.

Just be careful before you get shot by Nigerian police. Those ones loyalty is to pocket.

Smart comment here.

The bitter truth is that nigeria need south african businesses more than they need us. Massive Employment, tax revenue and services provide by their firm does not come second to any private firm in the country.

While I would condemn the looting here, somehow message had to be sent to the south Africa's govt who are silently in support of the attack of foreign nationals in their country.

Sense baptize you dia.
There is relatively nothing South African government can do in this case cos the fight is by the citizens of the country who are not comfortable with the character disposition of the average Nigerian they encounter on day to day basis. The South African government knowing the consequences on Trade and investment relationship between the two countries would not support this act ( even if individuals of government may have a deep resentment). All that can be done is for the SA police to strengthen its clamp down on the protesters and their government focus on policy shifts to curtail "gains" by foreigners which are affecting the prospects of their indigenes.
