Are these Yoruba people? Obasanjo is the most familiar Nigerian president to South Africans. I see he dresses like this.

Yes. Thank you.

donprinyo:
Who hate who?

Nnamdi kanu 's supporters hate Yoruba

TMKsouth:
Okay. You should remember though that other countries are not aware of your internal politics, so to the outside world you are all the same. Cant blame other countries for lumping all you guys together.

There's a big responsibility on you to put your countrymen in check because they endanger your reputation too. And I have to say in SA your reputation is FINISHED. So you need to expose and report the bad apples in order to gain public trust in SA. Instead you guys sit back, fold your arms and expect South Africans to understand your intricacies. I suggest you encourage your countrymen to expose these people in SA then our relations will improve.

Of course, that is what we have been doing. But believe me, these people are resilient when it comes to crime. Do you not wonder why they are still doing shi.t in your country at the moment?

Honestly, I understood your standpoint, and am not blaming you guys.

I was Just trying to let you know. At least, we create some awareness when we let you know, and you in turn let some of your fellow countrymen know, and they do same........ In the long run, we make the change together.

I've noticed some Nigerian people are actually quite cool. Like the guy I did my hair at a couple of times. He surprised me coz he didn't have the stinking attitude I've come accustomed to from the riff-raff loitering around our CBDs. That's why I returned to his barbershop. Next time I'll try figure out his tribe.

Lol. I don't know what's up with XN now. Haven't seen her around these Nairaland streets lately. JaceBlaze, where's XhosaNostra?

Nisai here is asking bout her. He's been helping me distinguish between Nigerian tribes - the criminally inclined, and so on.

ibani tribe

If you like go to Wikipedia, it doesn't change the fact that it was the Igbos that masterminded that coup and they believed for it to succeed, they need a handful of soldiers from other part of the country to make illegality look legal.

I repeat, Igbos are cowards and traitors.

1966 coup was a revolutionary coup. the plan was to handover to a civilian government to be led by Awolowo. you guys need to read history

Okay, seems he's in love. But you know Nisai, we frown upon Nigerian relationships in this country. You wanna get XN in trouble?

What you saying there bro? Trying out some Zulu?

South Africans are some of the friendliest, most civil people you'll come across. We live by the principle of "Ubuntu - I am because you are". But we don't like being provoked - then we turn very nasty.

I see that.So how's the learning process coming along? will you be able to tell one from another next time?


All I know is that when other Africans call South Africans xenophobic they don't try to draw distinction between tribes.They put all of us in one basket.So my question is - why can't we South Africans also enjoy the same privilege of ignorantly assuming everyone is the same?

True.

I guess we're all tired of illegal migration and criminality, but yes some of our tribes are more brutal than others with the attacks.

We wouldn't be here if foreigners who are making a honest living in SA through legal means spoke out against their bad apples and condemned their behaviour.Now in the eye of South Africans,everyone is guilty by nationality until proven innocent.

Mr South African, I noticed an interesting exchange you had with some daft Yoruba fellow... and here's my take based on REALITY. Firstly, I don't like to call out a whole demography of people based on stereotypes and image laundering, cause it only projects the dangers of a one sided story. It's just like the typical ignorant categorizations you more often than not hear from racist white America... you know the usual depictions of black/African Americans as deadbeats, crack head /dope selling misfits, or welfare dependent lazy thugs, violent people, uneducated etc... now those are familiar stereotypes that most white and a section of non-black privileged ethnic/racial groups in America have towards people of color. They don't focus on the positives of blacks in America, like the improving academic index from high school to college level of young educated black men and women, the presence of a strong family structure in the black community as opposed to the deadbeat dad and baby mama scenarios, they don't focus on buoyancy of the thriving middle class structure of Africans/African Americans etc all these are all institutionalized issues pervading America, with systemic racism and racial profiling been the underlying problems.


Now what I'm I getting at? I noticed in your earlier conversations with a worthless and dishonest bigot of Yoruba origin who sold to you the narrative of Igbos been the criminals in Nigeria etc, and you of course in your palpable ignorance and lack of context to the actual facts... pandered to his narratives. Now I won't descend so low as to tag all black South Africans as lazy drug sniffing losers who rape incessantly and spread HIV/Aids around like a Greek gift, cause that would sound incredibly ignorant and fallacious... cause I know there are many smart & industrious, and educated black South Africans doing very well globally.

What that Yoruba idiot didn't tell you however is that, yes quite alright some Igbos commit crimes in your country especially when it comes to dealing with drugs etc... but there are also SO MANY more Igbos who have decent businesses in South Africa, are law abiding tax paying citizens of the country, are happily married to the women, and have integrated just fine with the people. You remember the story of that rabid Nigerian pastor in South Africa who was arrested and charged for some of the most scandalous acts ranging from sodomy and rape of his church members? I'm sure the news was a major breaking headline in your national TV stations and papers... well that Nigerian pastor so happened to be Yoruba.

That Yoruba idiot didn't also tell you that Igbos have contributed so much to the global face-lift of Nigeria on a positive scale. Igbos are easily known to be the commercial nerves of Nigeria, Igbos are literally in every nook and cranny of Nigeria contributing to the growth index of their immediate host communities. There has been no single records of Igbos violently clashing with their host communities in any part of Nigeria (often times the reverse is the case, and unprovoked for that matter). That Yoruba idiot didn't tell you that Igbos are produced some of the best literature minds in Africa, I'm sure names like Chimamanda Adichie, Chinua Achebe, Cyprian Ekwensi, Buchi Emecheta, Christopher Okigbo etc are somewhat familiar to you? At least you should know one or two names from that list, they are Igbos.

That Yoruba idiot didn't tell you that some of the best economists/business tycoons in Nigeria and Africa are Igbos... Madam Ngozi Okonjo Iweala whom your president selected as a member of his economic advisory committee to tackle your recession issues some months ago? she's a well decorated economist of world class pedigree, best in Nigeria per her CV alone... she's Igbo. And there are many more like her who moulded themselves among the best business minds in Africa that are also Igbos (Emeka Anyaocha, Tony Elumelu, Pius Okigbo, Arunma Oteh etc).

That Yoruba idiot didn't tell you also, that the best football legends in Nigeria have mostly been Igbos... legends you know like Kanu Nwankwo, JJ Okocha, Amunike, Oliseh, Mikel Obi, Stephen Keshi etc.

Like I could go on and on, but to add one thing. That Yoruba idiot didn't tell you that his people (the Yorubas), are currently the title holders for some of the most savage ritual killings going on in Nigeria today. His people (the Yorubas) populate UK and US prisons for all sorts of crimes ranging from cyber frauds, rape and arson, even even terrorism (two Yoruba siblings committed the first acts of terrorism on UK soil some few years back). That Yoruba idiot also didn't tell you that, in the annals of Nigerian history, the most notorious armed robbers produced in the post civil war era were mostly from his tribe.


When next you want to understand the dynamics of ethnic hate in Nigeria dating as far as possible, take a more neutral approach and actually learn our history of hate from a less bigoted individual who will be more honest about facts.

I hardly ever see Nigerian organisations speak out against crime and their own people in SA. But they are very quick to cry about police brutality and xenophobia.

I'm more inclined to believe him when I constantly read that most of the Nigerians in SA are Igbo. And I don't have to remind you how that tale is unfolding.

Your braggadocious post about Igbo accomplishments also affirms that you are indeed the problematic sort we are struggling with here.

Your swipe at South Africans also did not elude me (@bolded) although thinly guised as being to our defense.

They call crime 'hustling spirit' ,so it's normal in Nigeria.Why do you think they see it as jealousy when their host nations call it what it is?
