Naija is gradually becoming a laughing stock in the international scene

Groups of protesters have demanded more stringent immigration laws while marching through South Africa's capital city of Pretoria directing their anger at African immigrants.

Under the banner of #PutSouthAfricansFirst, small groups of people marched from Church Square to the Nigerian Embassy.

They said government has failed to put South Africans first and have called for the mass deportation of illegal immigrants as well as the revoking of grants and other state benefits.

Various organisations including South Africa First and “Only One SA” have handed over a memorandum of demands at the Nigerian Embassy following a march through the Pretoria CBD.

Action for change’s Nandi Gachwari said their demands were clear.

“We demand an end to human trafficking in Pretoria and, broadly, South Africa; the deportation of all illegal immigrants; the exposure of corruption in flawed Home Affairs processes that grant citizenship to undeserving foreign nationals.”

High Commissioner Kabiru Bala said while he accepted the memorandum, it was unfair that only Nigerians should be blamed for South Africa’s social and economic ills.

The organisations vowed to return to the streets if their demands were not met.

Perhaps we need this so that during the next election cycle, the candidates are placed on their toes to commit to making Nigeria better so we avoid this recurring issues and held accountable.

illicit:
It's not their fault

YEBOmadiba:
Meaning?

illicit:
South Africa got nothing on Nigeria

We just have a bad lot of leaders

YEBOmadiba:
The fact that Nigerians flock to SA and refuse to return despite the xenophobia means SA is levels ahead.

mariahAngel:
Our government should fix this country already!
First it was Ghana, now South Africa, who's next?

illicit:
It's not that south Africa is levels ahead per se

It is that there are opportunities for some Nigerians there

Inside Nigeria, some northerners think the south is a greener pasture

Nigerians are doing better than their South African counterparts anywhere at home or in the world

JAMO84:
South Africans are the most lazy people in the word

WannaHowzit:
And Nigerians are the most hated, criminally minded, evil people in the world.

YEBOmadiba:
I wouldn't call selling drugs and running brothels doing better though. I think the world knows Nigerians are into illicit trade in SA and other Southern African countries. The only reason they won't leave SA is because of the much higher spending power of the population (while Nigerians find Shoprite unaffordable). Plus SA people take clean running water and stable electricity for granted.

In terms of Nigerian doctors, there are far more black South African doctors. So I don't see how you'll classify them as doing better, they earn the same. In fact SA doctors have the option of travelling to Europe while SAa is the best option for Nigerian doctors.

So do you see the levels?

Igbos are cancer to this beautiful world.


Please send them back to Ochanja junction in stretchers.


Igbos are like pest, we need to get rid of them.
