mzilakazi:
Can you be more elaborative on that subject? I seem to have lost my track.

The minister of small businesses or whatever, supposedly said, foreigners should share their business success secrets with South Africans so South Africans, I guess, could be equipped with skill. I'm suspicious of the story though because people here like to lie & make up stories.

mzilakazi:
@PunkyOh- are you an astrologer? perhaps just only interested in it.

I'm into Astrology yes, but I'm not an Astrologer lol.

Btw, I just mentioned you on another issue about what one of our ministers supposedly have said. Just wanted to hear your views & opinion.

She's talking rubbish & that's her own opinion. How many foreigners here could be considered successful? If South African people needed tips on how to be successful, there's more of our own people to look up to as role models & ask THEM for advice. There's the likes of Dj Sbu who gives talks all around the country & even on his radio show. Every South African knows about Leadership 2020. A part of me is suspicious of this story but if it is in fact true, then the minister was simply stating her own opinion & not speaking on behalf of all South Africans.

Mduza, LeSudAfricaine, Mzilakazi, Vandalza...what do you guys think of what the minister is saying? It just doesn't make sense to me.

Hahaha. This is so twisted on many levels. From daddy to mommy. I wonder if the children will still be allowed to call him daddy or maybe the word is strictly mom from now on.

LeSudAfricaine:
I Still insist, I know of Nigerian who died for South África's freedom!

Know or don't know? Because I don't know of any lol

MduZA:
you got it wrong mate,unemployment rate is 24% in SA....do you remember what Mugabe once said about corruption in Nigeria?dont project your country s problems on SA...swallow your Nigerian empty pride and appreciate RSA for employing thousands and thousands Nigerians in Nigeria,creating jobs for over 800 000 Nigerians in SA..AM enjoying your national anthem..Dangote

lol @ Dangote national anthem. Yeah Dangote's name is loved in these parts. I'm not sure if we're supposed to be jealous of his wealth or what. He's rich then good for him. What else to say? Anyway, let me also join in..

Nkosi'sikeleli Dangote...


Hahaha.

mikron:
punky my frnd u never agreed we helped ur country in the first place, u kept denying.

In my initial post on this I said I find it hilarious when some of you say you liberated us, as if it's a job you did single handedly. If you guys think you deserve gratitude for the role you played, then I'll extend it to other countries as well including South Africa. South Africa's liberation struggle was a collective effort, no country stands out more than the rest. We as South Africans have knowledge of only the countries that actually gave shelter to our people during their secret military training eg. Zambia etc.

Why are you dragging this issue anyway?

Dragonking:
Hope we are cool. Don't take it too personal please okay..we are all one.

No I'm not taking all of this personal, so yeah, kewl.

pbs4real:
lyk wat sections,so i cud join u dre. . .lols. ,am mostly on romance dis dayz. . . .

I think it's Foreign Affairs but I'm not sure lol

pbs4real:
alryt. . . .op dis xenophobic tin isnt near wre u @. . .

No it isn't.

Dragonking:
the funny thing is that Nigerians don't even send your recognition.. all we want is for south Africans and other Africans to live in peace..Your recognition doesn't put food on our table or give jobs to the masses here..

It is unfair how Nigerians are treated in SA though by generalizing all Nigerians to be drug peddlers etc.. This is what always bring up the apartheid reminders..

Ok.

Dragonking:
Madam, the reason you guys are getting constant reminders is that many of you don't even know about it and you come and say Nigeria didn't do anything..and as long as you refuse to accept it it will always come as a reminder. I know how painful it is as I can see that you always try to use Zambia to cover up everything knowing fully well that Zambia didn't even contribute up to one-tenth of what Nigeria did. (I know Zambia played their own part)..

If you noticed, I didn't want to even post all those link as I know how painful it can be sometimes when you are reminded about something until when I saw you and the other guys post.

Don't be offended though, although I believe you now know the facts and I trust you will talk sense to some xenophobic goons over there.

People who give from the heart, do so without seeking recognition. Hell, some of the biggest givers even do it anonymously because they're not doing it to gain special favours or to get a around of applause. So the fact that you want us to know, just makes me care about it even less. Your thank you note is in the mail.

Dragonking:
I know that you hate the fact that Nigeria was the major country that helped you guys but is the fact... Goddamit , ordinary Nigerians even donated financially to help you guys so I don't see it proper for you to insult us this way if truly you are against xenophobia.

You want me to ululate? Is that what you want me to do about your "major help" ? Whether you contributed more or not, what's annoying are the constant reminders about what you did. Nobody wants to be constantly reminded about the help they received in time of need because it cheapens the whole thing. Makes it less heartfelt. The reason most of us remember countries like Zambia is because they're not shouting about it atop the Drankesberg. They're more human about it, hence we respect them so much. Thanks for the millions. Moving on.

Dragonking:
Am sorry to say this but you don't know nothing about the help Nigeria gave SA during its apartheid period. Am sure you don't know that Nigeria spent about $61billion to free you guys during the apartheid era.

According to Wikipedia"During the apartheid era in South Africa, Nigeria was one of the foremost supporters of Black South African liberation movements , including the African National Congress ; the Nigerian government issued more than 300 passports to South Africans seeking to travel abroad.
Sonny Okosun , a Nigerian musician, wrote the hit song
"Fire in Soweto " in 1977 to commemorate the 1976
Soweto uprising against white-rule in South Africa. "

Nigeria help u guys financially, politically and even with music to free you guys so I see it as an insult as you are saying these words.

Even your military has given praises to our military for our help during apartheid era so stop displaying ignorance here.

Like I said, u guys should caution these evildoers and stop all this ignorant behaviour here.

Ok, still thank you Zambia, Tanzania, Nigeria etc & thank you to all South Africans who died for our freedom.

pbs4real:
am gud,bin a while tho. . Wre hv u bin?

Good, good

I've been on other sections of Nairaland lol

Dragonking:
special thanks to Zambia? trying to use reverse psychology here ain't you? . I hope that crazed xenophobic leader doesn't attack Zambians unless you guys are ready to visit a Zambia website to explain your history all over again.

I will suggest u guys come out en masse on TV and radio and condemn this xenophobic act rather than sitting down and trying to play smart online.

And people are not doing that now? Our tv channels are advertising about it like every second, with local celebrities telling people to say no to xenophobia. What more should be done? I'm sitting here because I'm tired. Had a hard day at work & deserve the break so tv stations can wait. Sorry but life doesn't stop just because a few parts of the country are in chaos. It's business as usual.

LeSudAfricaine:
They really have a cheek don't they?No doubt Many countries played a role in exposing the cruel system Apartheid was, many of our exiles were helped by many countries like Zambia, Tanzania etc even countries from abroad, I've never heard Tanzanians yapping about how they saved us, it's the Nigerians who want special treatment as did anything different,

Ja ne. Even the story about us receiving 2nd hand clothes from them is news to me. When? Hahaha. The people who collected those clothes probably burned them or sold them somewhere. We never received clothes or food from anywhere during Apartheid. The parents went to work just like any other parents, so there really wasn't a need for handouts. Some seem to have a very weid idea of how Apartheid was. I think that maybe they think we were caged up or something like that. Actually, life was normal, it's just that the laws were unfair & there was a lot of violence here/there. However, we still were able to go to town & shop etc. So I'm amazed & shocked to hear that we needed clothes. Kikiki.

pbs4real:
alryt. .sup wit u?

I'm okay. How about you ?

LeSudAfricaine:
Sorry Nigerians did not fight for my indepence, you chestbeat over ano urban legend, South African's liberated themselves!

Kikiki. The "we liberated you from Apartheid" is kinda ticklish.

Jeez, thanks While at it, special thanks to Zambia etc & most importantly, a big thanks to Us

kenex4ever:

pbs4real:
Punkyoh,were u @?

Let me read the story 1st before commenting, that's if it's even worth a comment

mzilakazi:
Punks why can't you just try to pull some legs into this guy? Hehehehehe…

kenex4ever:
does that mean "god forbid" "over ur deadbody" ?

It's an exclamation of surprise like your "Chai/Kai".

morpheus24:
If you didn't care that much you would have left a long time ago. no?

No, because like every other forum, this is a good place to interact with people. To learn about different cultures etc. I have a curious mind so I enjoy learning new things, like your Pidgin for an example. I'll leave when I want to leave. I just don't care for the BS in between.

mzilakazi:
Kenex, you are messing up your chances. Who knows you could have been standing a better chance to sweep her off her feet. Man-you are losing your mojo.

Hayibo! Rhaaaa!

morpheus24:
AWWWW, Weird when you are outnumbered by another group of people and they are abusing you.

Don't worry. BLuIVy cannot stay away from Nairaland for too long. She will be back and I will be waiting for her.

It's weird? Haven't noticed. Morpheus, do you actually think I give a jack diddly squat about what's being said by some people here? You're peeing on the wrong tree, buddy, I couldn't care less.

I know she'll be back

kenex4ever:
ok, but I hope ur backside isn't oversized? N u don't join them in dancing dose local dance steps I c on TV?

No, I have oversized lips & nose. I look West African

kenex4ever:
am only saying d truth, u guys in SA are very close to other primates in nature. From ur dance steps to ur traditions, how can a king chose from naked virgins b4 he can marry probably his 20th wife?
.
I repeat, if not for d whites most of u would be walking d streets naked.
.
D most annoying part is d way u a***eholez defend this devilish act, in d name of defending ur con3.

Get your facts straight before foaming rubbish. The place where the king makes a pick from virgins is Swaziland & not South Africa.

boxypane:
Baba go google do research jor.

You go & google it because your info is 100% incorrect.

boxypane:
Xenophobic attacks. The zulu ppl makes up over 50 million of d population in SA, dats over 50%. There King/leader gave dat "hate speech" dat led 2 all dis fracas. Zulu is SA, SA is ZULU.

So according to your cat lady logic, 50 million people took out to the streets & went on an attack? Tsk tsk tsk.

FYI, South Africa has a population of about 52 million in total, so it's impossible for the Zulus to make up to 90+ % of the entire population when there are still other tribes & races to consider.
