In Nigeria, a bunch of illiterate Lebanese and semi-literate Chinese parade the country, popping bottles at the best club and attending elite events, and poor Nigerians have not castrated them, so, why can't Nigerians living well in other places "oppress" their hosts?

What is this foolishness this old man is promoting?

Gandollaar:
I know you will rather their skills are mined back home.

Iamgrey5:
Alright bro, if tribalism is of paramount importance to you at this point.

ItsMeAboki:
Arrogant and disrespectful as usual; you ppl will never change; after insulting the country by calling it a zoo, you still expect the same country to come to your ppl's aid - for an issue that you are not entirely blameless. SMH
Why do you ppl seem to always have a penchant for inciting and annoying others to dislike you?
Its no wonder the SA's are giving you guys real zoo treatment.

Gandollaar:
Bloody hypocrites everywhere you go

TMKsouth:
"Most professionals in SA are Nigerians"?

WTF? Total rubbish!

Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Iba Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, has urged Nigerians living in South Africa and other foreign lands to be moderate in their dealings and shun criminal acts which may provoke their hosts to violence.

He also urged successful Nigerians working in foreign countries not to use their wealth to oppress the citizens of their host countries.

Breaking his silence on the latest xenophobic attack in South Africa, Adams who condemn the arson and inhuman treatment meted to Nigerians, however, said based on the facts he gathered, no Nigerian was killed in the latest attack, adding that videos being circulated on social media platforms are from previous incidents.

While declaring support for the actions taken so far by the Nigerian government, Adams who spoke with newsmen in Lagos, said some Nigerians in South Africa get involved in drug deals and also encourage South Africans to join them in the illicit business.

“There has been a pressure on me to issue a statement on this matter and I can confirm that as at this moment, no life has been lost.

The videos being circulated are old videos. That is why you can’t see pictures of killings in traditional media because they have the facts.

“Most of the gory pictures being circulated are on social, media. In this era of social media, anybody that has data are now journalists in their own rights.

“On the issue of the xenophobic attacks in South Africa, I am a regular traveller to South Africa. The issue is from both sides. I condemn the action of some few criminal elements in South Africa. South Africans are lovely people, very hospitable and accommodating at their own level. I am speaking with facts. Most of the professionals in South Africa are Nigerians”.

“The last time I travelled to South Africa, I went to see a dentist who is from Congo. During our conversation, he mentioned about 50 Nigerian medical doctors whose establishments are in South Africa. If we bring 20 of these doctors to Nigeria, they will turn around our medical sector.

He said the best black neurosurgeon in South Africa is a Nigerian. Also, the majority of the best lecturers in South Africa today are Nigerians.”

According to Adams, given the huge role Nigeria played the liberation of South Africa from apartheid rule, Nigeria does not deserve the kind of treatment it is getting. He added that the South African government should do more to protect the interest of Nigerians doing businesses in their country as the federal government is also doing to South African investments here.

“So, I think we should manage this xenophobic crisis carefully. I agree with the federal government because when you don’t express your displeasure over what happened, the other country will not know your worth.

The attacks are condemnable and I implore the South African government to go back to history and think of what Nigeria did for their liberation during the apartheid era.

“All the universities in Nigeria contributed to their struggle for independence against the whites. When they refused to release Nelson Mandela, our musician’s waxed albums calling for his release. So, we have done a lot for them and any shortcoming from Nigerians has to be forgiven by South Africans.

“On the side of Nigerians, parents who have children in South Africa should talk to them on the need for proper behaviour. Some Nigerians are involved in the drug business in South Africa and they encourage South Africans to also get involved in drug dealings.

“Also, some Nigerians will go to parties and clubs to oppress these South Africans. They buy champagne worth millions of naira and pour it on their heads while the citizens of South Africa are struggling to buy a bottle of beer. When you are in a foreign country and God has blessed you, you need to be moderate in your dealings.

“South Africa people too should be careful because they have lots of investments here such as MTN, Multichoice, Stanbic Bank. Inasmuch as they have investments here and our government is protecting them, they too should protect the interests of Nigerians living in South Africa.

“Look at what happened here when Nigerians wanted to carry out reprisal attacks, our security forces still protected South African businesses despite the fact that our citizens are being humiliated in South Africa,” he said.

Alot of Nigerians in SA are professionals.

Doctor, Engineers, Professors etc

legitnow:
Wat is happening in SA is similar to Lagos.


Where yoruba want to control all the markets setup by the Igbos.


In some cases demolish them with intention to replace the Igbos with Yoruba.


Only problem is not all Yoruba are business minded, so they end up handing the shops back again to the Igbos.

TMKsouth:
He's creating the impression that the greatest percentage of ALL professionals in SA are Nigerian - which is not even close to the truth. He's overstating the Nigerian contribution.

jneutron4000:
The Igbos have almost destroy South Africa with drugs and criminals activities, have you forgotten the Ozubulu killing. Yeah that is how terrible they are in SA

Ashabbiiee:
while we condemn the attacks, let's also talk to Nigerians there to behave themselves

Ritchiee:
You are right.Not all Yorubas are ´trader´-minded but we are evenly spread in all professions unlike Igbos who are mainly traders.

Being mostly traders cannot make you as rich,successful and developed as the Yorubas.
I have seen one of you posting from as blog that Igbos are the most successful in Nigeria.
lol
Only Alakija will buy up all Igbo billionaires

For example,I am not from Ibadan but I have been there severally especially the old part of Beere until I decided to tour this city.
I can assure you that after Abuja and Lagos,there is no city as developed as Ibadan....maybe PH and Kano may come close to it.
This Ibadan is mainly run and developed by Yorubas.Most and I say most of the trades and businesses are run by Yorubas.
Spare parts,motor parts,computer things,very heavy machines,clothing materials etc are handled by mainlyYorubas.
You can only find Igbos at Ekotedo,Iwo road,Gate etc.Yorubas control the market even more than Igbos do in Lagos.
When you say you are more successful than Yorubas,it is good to say it amongst yourselves but putting it online and disturbing everybody with this petty claim, makes one wants to reply.

I always say it that Yoruba have more succesful people than you,travel than you,have industries and businesses than you at home and abroad etc.These are verifiable facts not imagination that you always indulge in.

Asians are mainly traders you see all over UK but are they richer than Britons or Americans who are not traders.?

To top it,even with its old part,only Ibadan city is more developed than Igboland.....fact.

TheWrita:
We have xenophobia in Nigeria too.Just read what this foul creature is writing here.What is the difference between it and the SA people?Why is this person allowed to spill this sewage on a forum like this?It seems it's time for me to leave nairaland cos I'm tired of this types of remarks and the fact that the forum seems to be encouraging it.Meanwhile,it is not only Igbos affected because I saw a yoruba person in one of the videos.I will not even descend into the gutter to with to argue about the tribes that kill for money everyday.
The gani of a person is also silly.What the SA people are doing is completely condemnable and should not even be excused in anyway at all.Its almost like chiding a rape victim for wearing short skirt.How moronic can your thinking be to insinuate that it is the show off of wealth that is causing the locals to carry out looting and jungle justice?What a crock.
We need to be careful about the people who represent us.We are being driven into the abyss by this charlatans.From the comatose president to the likes of gani,they are airing out senseless thoughts and comments that only 18th century illiterates can make

Chief Are Gani Adams gave a concise, matter of fact, logical, conciliatory and healing words in just one speech. Meanwhile the Federal Government of Zoo has given over 50 statements and still struggling to find a soothing consolation that all sides can relate to. God punish the zoo!

Arre, thank you jare and God bless you.
