Below is the account of someone residing in South Africa:

Alhaji Rasheed Sir,

In addition to your earlier assertion here is another facts! Though no byline!

I know the SA thing is paining you as you say, also me too. But please hear my perspective:

I have lived in SA for almost 20 years.

What you see as pure xenophobia is actually community Vigilantism gone wrong or hijacked by criminals.

Some of the shops looted and destroyed are actually covers for a serious crime.

Some of our brothers take over entire areas and turn them into drug markets. But because the law in SA does not allow police to arrest criminals unless with evidence or unless shot at, so what happens is the drug guys hide these drugs in shops, restaurants etc and use as a face.
There are up to 30 public "drug" markets in Joburg alone. These are areas where 50 to 200 Nigerians converge on street corners to sell drugs. That's just in Johannesburg, and excludes other places.
The community knows and they try to inform the police. Sometimes these guys get arrested and bribe their way out when it fails the community takes laws into their hands.

Nigerians are not being targetted per se. The target is street drug dealers and yahoo boys who are mostly Nigerian.

Personally, in an area of Johannesburg, some years ago, drug dealers almost took over my property. We bought it and in the process of renovation, they invaded it and turned it into a drug hotel. It took God to evict them without being killed. It was led by Nigerians. In that property, there were families with women and children.

One strategy of selling drugs is to befriend young secondary school.Girls and introduce them. They get hooked and they start stealing and prostitution to feed the habit. Soon the entire area deteriorates.
Now, why I am sharing this with you is that the drug dealers are distracting attention. They are trying to make the Nigerian Government arise in anger and defend "Nigerians" ie defend drug dealers. if they succeed, they'd have staged a powerful coup. They'd have entered an official mafioso level, protected by Government.

Please see the article below: The Nigeria ambassador to SA said the majority of killings are perpetrated by fellow Nigerians. It's a drug turf war. he is right. I know some who've been killed.

So how can we accuse others of killing us when we are perpetrating it?

Those videos and pictures circulating of Nigerians in SA- how is it that we are shown only in the light of guys on the street? I know top Robotics engineers in SA, I know people in Top IT firms, developers, in Amazon, Google etc, I know top bankers, property company owners, many doctors, Superintendent of hospitals, professors, Pastors, etc.

So in summary here are my thoughts

- A vast majority of upright Nigerians in SA are very comfortable. They are doctors, teachers, business owners, etc. If we don't get the right story, we can set off a diplomatic war, everything collapses and these guys become targets. Currently, they are not being targetted by anyone. many are married to South Africans. Some head Government agencies and private companies.

- Yes, there are some xenophobic South Africans, but just like we fought against stigmatizing Fulani, we must also fight against stigmatizing South Africans. There are VERY many good South Africans, who don't buy into any form of oppression. Let us encourage our government to join with the South African Government and carry out a security raid on drug dealers.

If the Government announces this, you will see they will flee because they'll know the cover is blown! xenophobic attacks will reduce 95%.

The biggest donation event in the history of SA was in 2007 when people gave to victims of xenophobic attacks. The amount given was a record. It shows that the nation is not buying into that mindset.

- Please use your powerful platform to create a voice for good Nigerians in SA. You will be surprised. Many are afraid to talk because even Nigerian organizations in SA are infiltrated and even controlled by drug dealers and kingpins. No one wants to be killed. These guys are very powerful.

- These same guys being paraded as Nigerians under attack are the same guys who HATE everything PMB stands for. If you visit their hag outs (we sometimes buy food there) and talk about Buhari, they can kill you, literarily. Why? because they hate what he stands for and they hate that he is saying we should become good citizens.

- Communities fighting to save themselves should not.be hushed but.helped to do it in a better way. Not jungle justice.
- Yes the SA Government must not also be left without responsibility in the matter, they should be tasked to step up their game too. While Nigeria targets drug dealers and yahoo buys, South Africa should target miscreants and criminals in a joint operation. SA Government also needs to purge bad eggs in its police force who are compromised. It Also needs to take its own share of blame for unemployment, poverty and economic challenges and social issues that allow drugs to be demanded.

I close with a prophecy by Pa Elton

"Africa is like a gun, Nigeria is like a trigger, South Africa is like a barrel

South Africa will be free. It will partner with Nigeria.

When that happens, Africa will arise and lead the world in many ways."

This prophecy was given in the hight of apartheid when it seemed impossible. Today it is half done South Africa has more bilateral agreements with Nigeria than any other nation on earth. We MUST NOT allow miscreants and criminals on both sides to hinder it, because if our national relationship fails, Africa will fail.

This is Buhari's "Mandela" moment. Will he rise up and shake off the pain and anger and mobilize Africa to unify or will he take a position that reverses the building of unity? I think he will do the right thing by God's grace, but I also believe publicizing the truth will help him and citizens.

I am open to discuss with you further on this matter, and if you feel the need to publish the above anonymously, please feel free. And if you want to do a tour to SA, I'll host you and we can go out and do a strategic mapping. I'll show you things that will make you see another perspective.

Guys, No one must Blame South Africans, Here is the prove, Thank You Brother For Supporting South Africans, This Guys call this Xenophobic and Keep on sending troubles to SA, Only to found out they're causing Problems to themselves

And this one has found a way to ass lick buhari. Buhari fans don't disappoint. Whatever the situation..good bad or ugly his balls must be licked clean. The writer addressed nothing but simply tribalised the whole thing. You are justifying these attack because you think most of them are IGBOS. Come out clean..wave your tribalism card high.
Hatred will not kill us in Nigeria. Neither Zambia or Malawi or Zimbabwe spun the ethnic card..but us the supposed giant are not even speaking with one voice. We are looking for an Igbo or Yoruba to blame.
Trashy epistle.

UdechiHD:
Nonsense write up!

What stops the South African police from the tackling the drug dealers head on? Who are those assisting the cartels import such amount of cocaine pass the borders? Who are those in higher places assisting the drug dealers in their trade? The truth remains that the South African government are not doing their job.

You blame others for running prostituition ring in your country, but you forgot that your youths are naturally wayward and exhibit sexual tendencies. Did these foreign teach you how to rape your sisters and mothers? Did the foreigners made South Africa the headquarters of HIV and lazy people?

The so called vigilante as you want us to believe, are among the worst drug consumers? Lazy people who feeds on drugs and turn around to go loot shops under drug influence.

Let the South Africans deal with the societal problem bedevilling them as other countries are doing and not push the buck. Solve your societal problem, be tough on drug users and drug cartels.
Teach your citizens the value of hardwork and not sitting idle and messing around.

Your criminals bribe our Police, You don't understand the view of OP, People are tired with this crime, You rather stay in your Country rather than causing Problems for others, We see more hustlers than investors on your side plus Drugs Dealers According to OP Thanks OP

Your stories are full of shit and is more of a sponsored propaganda to salvage the situation. The Sponsors should at least be humane and tone down on the rethorics because of the lives and livelihood that were involved.

What about the other Africans involved? are they also doing businesses to cover for a crime?

What happened to reporting to Police?

What about the directives given by the ZUlu King in 2015 to kill foreigners "because they are taking their jobs" that led to Xenophobic attacks in Durban that year?

What about the attacks on Somalia business owners in the 2014 in Pretoria and Johannesburg?

Are all those Vigilante actions gone wrong too?.

You are causing Problems for South Africa Guys, Why you don't do this noise in your countries Guys, No one is supporting this Looters But you're also trouble Guys, Stay in your countries and Shut Up, You are trouble According to OP

Lol, nairalanders and their baseless assumption.. I am only trying to call for caution, if that have made me a South African, torh, na u Sabi that one..

Bleep off,we don't need you here..You are diffinately a South African in disguise.How can you say the numerous video and pictures of violence is all drug related issue..there are numerous protest by South Africans that foreigners especially Nigerians must leave their country.They ended up painting both the guilty and the innocent with one color .People have been killed and their properties destroyed..some were hunted like animals before they were killed.Here you stand to write this rubbish that it is not xenophobic??this nonsense did not start today ..it is one of their madness.Pls we are angry and we have some here that are grieving for their friends and families whom must have been caught in the fire..don't add more kerosine to the fire.we are not stupid.

so you all decided to kill them and destroy their business..Its irritating that you would defend this killings ..what the hell are you doing in a Nigerian site if we are ur enemies?

Honestly people need to be careful in the face of violence especially in this era of fake news and political brouhaha, if truly xonophobia is occurring, then anybody involved will not know peace, because anyone who destroys others sweat and kill or injure them unjustly will not know peace..

Before I saw this post, I was also like you lots, angry and annoyed at the whole thing, and I am still annoyed at the slow response of the government regarding this issue, but if truly, this issue is majorly cult or drug issues, I don't want to be used as part of propaganda.

Why do you lots always label anybody who seems to call for reason a buhari zombie or Igbos hater or whatever, what's all this rubbish, why do you think I am in support of any xenophobia or whatever, why, it seems nairaland have stereotyped some people to always believe everything is related to tribalism and hate..

Whats all this rubbish, and how does this concern me, I simply posted to make us aware of the other side of the story, and any South African here using this post of mine as defending south Africa really need to have sense and if you truly are guilty of xenophobia, you shall face punishment either in this life or the hereafter, hence, I urge Nigerians against baseless name calling, accusations, assumptions, and not let the media make you do things that you will later regret..

Lets thread with caution, fellow Nigerians..

If this is to much to ask, then, I give up

This author is saying rubbish trying to deflect the real issue which is xenophobia and criminality. He's trying to bring another twist to it which will worsen the situation. Drug cartels no doubt are very visible and annoying but all nationals do the trade openly with the SA police looking the other way because they've been compromised. Same thing happened in Cape town last month where the SANDF was brought it to fight the situation. Everyone must disregard this author because he has another aim in his mind which I've seen through. Do you know some SA xenophobes made announcement of evicting foreign truck drivers who they said took their jobs and that they would block the highways and do the needful. This was just last week. Thankfully, it was nipped in the bud.
Xenophobia is very alive in SA and the worsening economic situation occasioned by corruption from government officials precipitate it's recurring occurrence.

Also, the fact that many south African hate Nigerians is not a lie too, so, while you may not support the looting, but your mocking here shows you are enjoying the situation, who knows, you might be among those guys who hate Nigerians..

The thing is, NIGERIANS SHOULD THREAD WITH CAUTION so as not to finally blame ourselves..

Kogi Guber: Dino Melaye speaks on stepping down [VIDEO]—
.........

Dino Melaye, Senator representing Kogi West has reacted to report making the rounds of him stepping down ahead of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, forthcoming primary election.

It was reported that five governorship aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Kogi State stepped down, ahead of the party’s forthcoming primary election.

The five aspirants from Kogi East were reported to have stepped down for the immediate past Governor of the state, Capt. Idris Wada (rtd).

The decision of the aspirants to step down was disclosed by the Vice-Chairman, Kogi East Elders Council (KEEC) and former Minister of State for Health, Arch. Gabriel Aduku, while addressing journalists in Lokoja, the state capital, on Tuesday.

According to Aduku, the decision to ‘prevail on the other aspirants to collapse their structure into Wada was in the overall interest of the party and the state.

However, Melaye in a video shared on his Twitter page, said he had not stepped down for anyone.


He said: “There is a rumor by evildoers that Dino Melaye stepped down. I cannot step down because I am winning this primaries.

“We are cruising into victory, Yahaya Bello must go, One love PDP.”
