South Africa Since the end of apartheid South Africa there has only been two major xenophobic inspired riots. The first time SA recorded such was 6years ago in 2009.
Currently South Africa is witnessing another brutal round of nation wide xenophobic riots targeting immigrant Africans.
tmtech: You av no idea wat is going on in SA ... Do ur research b4 commenting..... Try watch d video of aw SA police brutally masacre dia minners in 2012 and so many other violent attacks lyk dat..

And u must kno, the moment u try to justify rape or any other henious crime, u av exonorated d offender already!!!!!!! God help us all....
My advice to you is to fix your more complexing problems than to start pork nosing into another Nation's affairs.
The Nigerians in SA are there by choice and can leave as whenever they choose to. What will you say to the northern Christians who are killed, abducted, r@ped en masse and have all their property stolen by brain dead Muslim filth? Where do you expect them to go?
Leave South Africa matter because on all pars Nigeria is a more savage and injustice place to live.
macjive01: Our internal problems and divisions will always be there to give us as a country something to slander and banter one another with. However when faced with outside threat we all should gang together as brothers and as a nation to defend strongly what we have . This Nation called Nigeria and her name.
After the external threat has been defeated, of course we can always go back to our mud slinging. Especially on this Forum.
Bullsh1t!
Nobody is a Nigerian in Nigeria or abroad. You are first either a Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw or Arab Hausa Fulani.
Go to any nation outside which has a northerner as an ambassador and see how they openly disown non northerners in time of need.
Or do you think the embassies in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Sudan carter for non Muslim needs?
Mcbussy: About the ethnic or religious crisis in the north... It's a phenomenon that plagues the mankind. Groups have always fought against each other right from the existence of Man. U can check all the religious and history books, this has happened in virtually every part of the world in d past. I don't think I need to go into much details of the crusader days where Christians were conquering different lands in d middle east, and how the Arabs fought back.
.
Please. The Crusades were necessitated to drive off marauding Arab Jihadis who had laid desolate Christian Nations in the middle east and where on the verge of entering Europe through Spain.
By the turn of the first hundred century, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Libya, Tunisia and Jordan and virtually all of the middle east other than the waste lands of modern day Saudi Arabia where predominantly Christian.
Then came Mohammed and his jihad.
The middle east is dotted with early Christian relics attesting to the fact that these regionsw here first and foremost Christian Nations!
Or are you going to tell me that the grand Mosque in modern day Istanbul was originally not a Church at the center of the first capital of Christendom then known as Constaninople named after the first Roman emperor who converted to Christianity?
What about the epicenter of the Jewish -Arab conflict, Jetusalem and the temple of Solomon where an abomination now sits at the center and holy of holiest site in both Judaism and Christianity? Why is a mosque sited there? Is Judaism not older than Islam? So how come there is a mosque at the center of the only Jewish Temple?
Most of the ancient scrolls of writting on Christianity where found in modern day Egyot where the Coptic movement once dominated until it was overran by Marauding Muslims.
There are several accounts of the first Caliph of Egyot demanding ransome from the Ethiopian king threatning to destroy every Coptic church in Egypt and kill every Christian if a ransome is not paid. The Ethiopian church sent back a reply stating that if any church is destroyed in Egyot he will march accross the dead sea and destroy the Kabbah to dust.
This is just a snippet of how militant Islam ravaged the land.
The jihadis where beaten back by the crusaders and rightfully so.
What the heck are you saying? when people all over the world condemning this barbaric act of South Africans and you think you can compare the demonic actions taking place over there. How many times have we killed any foreigner the warehouse these South Africans killed immigrants and in term of corruption how better or clean are they. CRAP!
Exactly! You don't go around killing foriegners but rather go about with zeal killing your fellow country men.
Guess what! They placed warning sticker on that car to spite me but two days after, I brought in October first registered 2014 car which cost me £12,000. Hypertension nearly kill them and you ll die of hypertension if I start to upload pictures here.
proudlyhandsome: Just to prove to some idiotts that it's not everybody that ccomes here are in the same league with them offline. Let show our wealth by uploading pictures here simultaneously
Claiming 50 cent rich when you filthy pence poor
Dirty immigrant turn council flat applicant
Asylum seeker claiming big bio on NL
We know your type. Jumping from one petty job to retain your section 8 housing
proudlyhandsome: Those ones you shared their pictures are not in my league and would never be in my league. I am far above that.
It has now become a crime against my adopted country to share racist crime being committed at work online
But it is OK when I share all sort bad stories against my original country - Nigeria.
It's obvious that you guys are part of this despicable system that put some people in heart-trending situations which I m ready to fight anything anyday.
I m ready to leave as many work as racism is allowed
martyns303: How are Nigerians not reflecting on theirs? You have to be a Boko Haram sympathizer not to see the way Nigerians are condemning the act of BH.
Non Military personnel known as the civilian JTF has taken up arms against BH.
Nigerians have voted out the president with insecurity being a major reason.
What do u reckon we as Nigerians do? Clap for the South Africans for killing our Brothers? Your really pathetic.
proudlyhandsome: Poverty stricken and failures- accumulated idiott you are; obvious to me now.
I am not one of those Africans who goes to Europe to constitute nuisance to the public.
The money spent on my secondary education alone will bail you and your future generation out of poverty for life. And as an individual, I can still feed your poverty stricken family for as long as you are ok with my kind gesture, you idiott.
It's obvious in my write up that I don't take bullshit cos I don't depend on their salary. I m made for life if I choose not to work.
Lol.
Big bois full NL no be small.
Any way NL nah leveler.
Please share some of your snobbish aristocratic "choose to work but don't have to" tales.
bolaino: Let me mention you one more time, before you conclude about me, ask your self these questions, Why Is Nigeria Moving Four steps Forward and 30 years backwards. Have a wonderful Sun day.
Because of brain dead ediots like you who are so full of hate.
proudlyhandsome: Listen, I have no reason to lie against anybody. This post only trigger me to share my past stories with Nairalanders here not cos I m a Muslim.
I attended Sacred Heart Seminary Secondary school in Nigeria called Don Bosco(British missionary school) and I later left for First baptist grammar school where I sat for my O'level.
I was born and raise up in Christian home and as i chat with you, I m a christian.

Another Taqiyya.
You must be on a roll.
Please save your bullsh1t for some one else.
The original post and thread heading was meant to depict the Daily Mail as anti Muslim. No where did it mention rascim.
Also, most recent Muslim converts in England are usually 3rd world second generation immigrants who feel dejected and have a sense of lost identity when trying to appear British.
The duo of the two Micheals now termed Rigby Butchers fell under this category.
You my friend need to get out of the east end and far away from all the Muslim towel rag heads before you become another brainwashed zombie.
martyns303: It is really difficult trying to explain things to a person as yourself.
When Boko Haram kills Nigerians, the millitary is sent to fight them.
When herds men kill villagers, arrest are made by the Nigerian police or the millitary is sent in.
Nigeria have a responsibility to protect her citizens, however when South Africans kill Nigerians what do you want the Nigerian Government to do? Send the millitary into SA or the police?
So basically all what Nigerians can do is condemn the act, do u get the difference now?
Condemning the act without reflecting on your own situation shows how hypocritical you are.
You can condemn the senseless violence in SA but you must not delianate South Africans as more savage than you.
You have dedicated Taqiyya websites which are against the mail publishing the actual accounts of your lunatic brethren in IS.
I keep stating that the only reason Islamic extremism still remains unchecked is because so called Muslim moderates refuse to allow for the reporting of the atrocities of their fellow Muslims. They are quick to condemn the messenger of the news account of the atrocities committed in the name of Allah than they would of their senseless jihadis.
proudlyhandsome, the only reason you are churning out Taqiyya lies here is because it is the Daily Mail which you Muslims have designated an Islamaphobic news outlet.
Keep churning crap. I am enjoying your fake azz compositions
At my working place; I got the job not quite long though.
It's predominantly dominated by white staff but enough black staff too.
The management positions are filled up with white people which is not bad and not issue here.
However, I realised after one week that most of my colleagues whom I had induction with have all gone. I realised this after one week.
Few weeks into appointment, old black staff began to open up to me as to what their experiences were/are. And I was like, why are you guys keeping quiet over these?
I started fighting the system on my own; whenever a white staff brought their work related gossip to me, I usually tell him or her that I didn't want to hear it. What these guys usually do after the gossip was to get enough info from you and pass it to the Management and before you know it, you ll be summoned to all sort of unnecessary meetings.
At a point in time, the white top manager mandated the HR to terminate my appointment cos I was not taking their bullshit. The HR manager called me as black man to black man that this was what they asked him to do but i asked him what was my offence. She said that the management said i was too arrogant and i had made myself a spokesperson for other staff. I asked the HR manager if that was all they complained about and the man advised me to see things and keep quiet about it. He said if you see anything wrong, just walk away otherwise, they ll stop at nothing to get rid of you. I smiled and thank him for his advice and i left his office.
I will come to work, do my job as it's described in my job description and leave for my house without smiling or playing with anybody. Sometimes, the white manager or black junior staff will stepped beyond their boundaries, I ll tell them off straight up without mincing words. My names became a household name among the white staff not as a friend but as a pain on the ass.
However, there are few, very very few good people among these white guys that are not racist. The final battle was when I parked my car at the car park and a warning sticker was placed on the windscreen of my car for parking where a night staff should park their own cars. It was hard to take adhesive off a car windscreen and struggle with it. I got to my car and found this adhesive sticker on my windscreen. I was really mad cos the white guy who parked beside my car didn't have the sticker glued to his car windscreen but instead, they used his windscreen wiper to hold the sticker to his own car. Can you see how wicked these people are? They damaged my windscreen despite d fact that i m a staff. I went to call the attention of HR manager to come see the reason why I fight their discriminatory system.......
lomprico: So because nigeria has its own issues we should praise the SAs for what they are doing? I dont think I have met any one praising any of those barbaric killings u claim. Shame on you!
Where did you see me praise the nonsense currently ongoing in SA?
I will rather use this opportunity to remind all of you that Nigeria is a more savage place than South Africa so your condemnation of SA is akin to the pot calling the kettle black.
TechRev: Story for the Gods. Murder is murder irrespective of who committed it. Clean and cry about the murderous herdsmen and bokoharam first before crying for southafrica. As PPAngel said you always have christians and Igbos to kill at will so why angry that SA is competing with you??
Hypocrisy is killing you nigerians. When Igbo man complain they tell him to go back to his region (SE). Why not tell foreigners in SA to go back to their countries??
Useless monkeys and baboons in Zoological republic Nigeria.
You dey mind them?
Nigerians kill their own citizens at will on a larger and systematic scale. It has always been the last line of solving political grievances by targeting fellow Nigerians to make their point.
At least South Africans can not be accused of killing their own.
The hypocrisy in Nigeria is what is killing this country!
martyns303: I thought u were a South African trying to paint SA sweet, was just waiting for the perception so I can open my mouth and shut yours.
But everything just changed, and I feel sorry for you. Shame on you, the American police has killed more Americans than any terrorist organization, but do you see how bent they are in fighting terrorism? Do you think America will smile if a foreign police were to kill any of their citizens just because their own police is doing it?
I feel pity for you, go to SA and see how your country men are being treated. Never in your life should you hold a public office, may God not allow it since you have no value for your fellow country men.
Did I justify the senselessness of the South Africans rioting and killing their fellow Africans? No!
I merely stated that whatever the case we as Nigerians should be cautious in pointing the finger on South Africa for we are far worse!
South Africans are targeting and killing Foreigners, while Nigerians are killing their own brothers on a larger and sustained scale since independence!
bolaino: well I am Neither a Christian nor a Muslim, and I do not care to be either, But what I care about is my freedom to practice my own religion, that helps my own unique way of existing with my fellow souls on earth. Buhari was a Dictator for Christ sake, stalin was a dictator, hitler was a dictator, abacha was a dictator, etc, and what does one do that would make you a dictator? You control everything and everyway of life, you send ghana people packing with their Ghana must Go bags or you kill Nkem owoh's brother for drug dealing, but any how sha, you go still rule the country again, nothing touch you. Have you ever sat down to wonder why you are reading Buhari in The news again, who knows, Babangida might seek to come out again for the office of President, and if Buhari could win, why should IBB not win again, so you see my Fellow Nairalander, na the same thing we dey talk.
You are a fool if you think your weak Taqiyya lie will work on me.
You are not only a Muslim but a fanatically one.
You blind vote for Buhari was because you hated having a Christian as your leader.
Well, I can guarantee that Buhari after his recent campaign accross Nigeria is better suited now than ever to appreciate Nigeria's diversity even compared to when he was head of state or campaigning in 2011.
Your Buhari lacks the power to proscribe any group or religion as this will go contrary to the constitution which guarantees freedom of association and freedom to practice ones religion peacefully.
Please stop mentioning me because I hate to waste my time with compound goats like you.
martyns303: Your points are invalid and here is why.
1. You made mention of the Oba of Lagos, when he made that statement everyone knew it didn't hold water, even the people the threat was directed at were at the gathering and laughed it off. Has anyone been thrown into the Lagoon? No! When the Oba was called out for his unguarded statement he apologized, did King Goodwill apologize? No.
2. Boko Haram is a terrorist organization, just like ISIS, Al Shebab etc, by comparing what is going on in SA with Boko Haram as you just did, then you are saying SA is a terrorist nation just like Boko Haram, ISIS and AL Shebab.
3. Why is it then that the entire world and Nigeria condemning SA, let me paint you a picture, if you were a mother and you beat your child mercilessly and the child starts bleeding would your reaction be the same if it were your neighbor who did it? Wouldn't you call the police, fight back the neighbor? Am just saying.
And before you start painting your SA as sweet place, this may not be necessary but let me say, I schooled in one of the most elite institution in SA, alongside some 15-20 Nigerians, for the duration of our studies we had spent almost R1 million each in fees. And that is more money than a large % of South Africans contribute to the South African economy. It is from that money that your old is payed benefits, it is from that money when your girls get pregnant with no father the government pays benefit till the child turns 18, it is from that money your disabled gets benefits am sure by now you get the image.
I am not south African but a full blooded Nigerian posting from Nigeria!
Ask yourself, how many people on average annually get killed in SA as a result of such social disturbances in comparison to Nigeria?
The bottom line is that there have been more people killed since indepence in Nigeria than that recorded in SA as a result of riots and social upheavals.
So in a nut shell SA is still relatively more peaceful than Nigeria!
