And do you want to compare the size of Nigeria to SA? Have you ever been to SA before?

The point I'm trying to make is that - we need to put data into perspectives. Let's assume 80million Nigerians are poor but what is the geographical spread compared tonight countries?

Ghana has stable electricity but do you know Nigeria generates more electricity than Ghana albeit the population and size of Nigeria makes it more difficult for Nigeria to have stable electricity. See the links below

I know Nigeria needs to do way better in many areas but many Nigerians make certain comments without understanding real-time perspectives.

India has more poor people than South Africa, now does it mean your local market is anywhere close to theirs?

Even with your acclaimed 90m people living in poverty in Nigeria, we still have another 110 million Nigerians living above poverty which is still higher than your total population What does that tell you?

Google is your friend.

No, black communities, not poor communities. If your Nigerians are so successful in SA as you like to falsely claim then what would they be doing in poor communities during attacks? Get your facts straight.

There's been a lot of economic empowerment for black South Africans since 1994 so I fear you're still stuck in the past. Rather focus on being the undisputed Poverty Capital of the World despite 60 years of self misrule and massive oil wealth. You can't even afford to fill a trolley at Shoprite - a poor man's store in South Africa.

Talk about brain-dead blacks, it's elections season in Nigeria, I'll be on the lookout for how many proven fantastically corrupt politicians you bring back to power for a measly food parcel - like you have been doing since independence.

gregyboy:


Wow this hurt,.... But Bleep you, is good to protest and want we immigrants out, but doing it with absolute brutality is not ideal, first all is there no law in south africa that's says south Africans first before foreigners, if there is why the attacks on surviving African immigrants

YEBOmadiba:


I'm so sorry it hurt you, the insult is meant for those who say bad things about SA.

Yes indeed the motto is SA belongs to all who live in it, but we should always be on the lookout for those who want to destroy it.

gregyboy:



We selling drugs and opening brothels is that all, if it is then, the police should be blamed for not doing their job,

And still dey wont allow deportation of immigrants without no papers, living the immigrants who wants to leave stock in sa,

Am trying to get the whole gist, you all attack immigrants for taking your jobs, soiling your country up, like there is no government to handle such issues,

From what i see is just one fingers are pointing to d immigrants two are pointing to the south Africans,

I strongly believe all immigrants should evacute south africa, and visa should be guaranteed only for tourism purposes , if i be a president of my country is my people first, before anyone, get your government to act, the immigrants are powerless, and the attacks in them sends little or no message....

U were slaves to strangers in ur midst

YEBOmadiba:


Honestly, we've lost trust in the police and government. That's why people are taking the law into their own hands. The ANC feels it owes the world favours for housing it during apartheid. It is way too lenient on illegal migration and lawlessness.

proeast:


They actually tried to divest and run away when they lost a case against a Nigerian. ShopRite tried to cheat a Nigerian that was in the process of partnering with them at the initial stage but the Nigerian man took them to court and eventually won the case.

MyMilkshake:


I had a choice to study at UCT but chose UP. So I'm aware of what Cape town has to offer. Pretoria gives me proximity to Joburg. Great lifestyle!

veritasetfidei:


Uhm Shoprite is where the poor in SA shops . The middle class and up shop at Spar/Pick and Pay and Woolworths so yes the level of development is different . Lets be factual and try not to be disingenuous when debating it adds nothing to the conversation.

ccollins:
as a Nigerian. U are an embarrassment on the social media here. How can you be insulting some one who brought up cogent facts that u couldn't even dispute rather u resorted to insults and backbiting

Minxie:


I wish we were like developed countries but the truth is that South Africa is also struggling. We barely have enough capacity to deal with our own crimes, it's unreasonable for everyone to just say we must get the police. WHy must we as Africans always be policed? Can't we just behave out of the goodness of our hearts? ANd I think that's also a point that we as South Africans make. Why is it necessary for us to use our funds to provide police while everyone from outside just comes in and does whatever. It's not fair. As much as we should work on our security, our brothers must also not break laws. How would Nigerians feel if you are struggling with boko Haram, your own crime and then South African gangsters decide to make Lagos their playground? It wouldn't be fair on your already struggling security system.

This is a two-way thing. More police means more taxes. AT the end of the day it's the South Africans who will pay to beef up security while everyone just tells us: "We can do whatever illegal things, just get more/better police". DO you think that is pan-Africanism?

Where is the love when people cross the border to murder and steal and then cross back to sell their goods? As much as South Africans need to respect other Africans, other Africans should also respect us. it's only fair.

Slimpotter:


Which lends credence to the fact that american democracy isn't democracy at all.

moneyissweet:
Togo is poor,they can't do without Nigeria.

Ordinary nigeria fuel scarcity dey render the whole of Togo useless.

Litmus:
South Africans like Ghanaians and many of the folks of these African Nations are still at that backward stage were they are unable to accept they have fault. See the many pages here filled with these morons simply refusing to accept fault for xenophobic attacks on foreigners. They are here trying to justify xenophobia by blaming it on everyone but South Africans that daily persecutes foreigners. Early this year or late last year, there was the spectacle of that munchkin featured Ghanaian fellow called Wodemaya who went around the internet showing images and news of the Chinese man that former Emir Sanusi crowned chief of the Chinese business community in Kano state. He was everywhere trying to paint Nigerians as subservient and the entire world had a real go at Nigeria. And yet when his Ghana people did far worst by bestowing a title on a Chinese and carried him aloft in worshipful scenes that hearken back to the worst impressions of blacks as Tarzanic coons, he was nowhere found. And Ghanaians en mass defended the coronation.

Hypocrites, all of these people, simpletons unable to accept fault even when glaring - i spit.

SmartPolician:


Nobody is putting anyone down

Nigerians have senselessly destroyed their country

And we all have to live with the consequences.

Expect even worse treatments in the coming months

jjxxx:


Maybe Chad or Cameron

olumide4christ:


You are very correct.

However, I must say that the electorate have the choice to decide not to vote for incompetent candidates. Personally, the last time I voted was in the 2011 general elections. Thereafter, I haven't voted or even sought to get a voters card because I believe it's a simple waste of time. I would rather put my precious time in building my profession and business which will by God's grace, thrive outstandingly irrespective of the party or government in power.

In addition, I have observed that even a larger proportion of the electorate don't know what they want, don't know how to decipher the better candidate. You would find many people who claim they're looking for a better Nigeria still drumming up support for politicians with known corruption issues for forthcoming elections. In a sane civilized society who does that? The people will not even look the way of such questionable characters. But in Nigeria and on Nairaland, reverse is the case.
Can someone who created a problem be the solution to the same problem?

codemaniacs:



its funny

you guys have noticed something very important but you can't decode further, so let me try and help you guys.

from what you've noticed it should be obvious, very obvious that n:airaland is not under the control of s:eun or any of his N:igerian mods or they are been paid to push such to front page.

s:eun and his mods receive instructions from some people ( including foreigners ) who may have bought a stake in n:airaland,

elmodee7:
I blame the flat heads spoiling Nigerian image.

Austine1213:


I dont have to google, its stupid to even think of it

In todays terms its like nigeria spending $350b on another country, not possible

frog12:
eh so which is better?

SmartPolician:


Most Nigerians are terribly lazy and criminally minded

Let's say it the way it is for once.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:


Illiterate fix your country before running into other people's country to tell them what to do

King44:
Same stereotype cards SA keep playing

Out of all the

Boers

White and black nationals from EU and America

Out of all African countries

South Africans who are dealing in drugs and trafficking

Some SA nationals singled out Nigeria and also Zim because some of their nationals are flocking in

This is the highest form of stereotype, even if some of their demands are being met, they would still call the rest criminals, so what's the point.

Well we don't blame you guys we blame our gvt who has the power to deal with SA and GH but restricting it because it is an African country.

For GH our of the numerous tools available just stop our students from going to GH or place embago on those on here and their trade and see if their nonsense won't stop.

We occupy positions and have the smallest and bigger tool to deal with them but this gvt see them as brothers hypocrisy

SUFFERInSMILIIN:


Cameroon is already dealing with us some Nigerian shops were closed down last year. Only South Sudan and Somalia is left
