And your uncircumcised country is busy fighting a lost battle against Israel in the Hague.
Or are you angry South Africa are more of bows and arrows and girls with big bom rather than I.T skills, social media presence and still emerging rather than being stagnant at point zero.
Any how you see it, you all owe your past and present and future to God and Nigeria.

Bede2u:
you are demarketing your country here bro. If that is your aim, you are certainly succeeding

helinues:
Have you given up about engaging others logically, sounding coherently and matured/uncultured?

Have you?

You can't just continue to be disgracing yourself with such boring attitude.

Go through this thread and see your own conducts with others apart from me.

Zubeezanga:
so your citizens are innocent, you need more civilisation

helinues:
Okay. I should have referred to you as Me right?

Your incoherency and pettiness are legendary

Zubeezanga:
South Africans are vile human beings

helinues:
Can you see what I am talking about you.

You have taken your own incoherency to another dimensions.

So it's now Nigeria election not me again?

Very easy SA guy to predict

helinues:
Hahaha, is anyone still taking you seriously on this forum?

You that can't engage others without sounding incoherently. Hahaha

Oya proof me right with your next response

🤣🤣

antiMuhamad:
At this rate, I am convinced a Nigerian fingered your mother's old puss*y to death. You are so obsessed with Nigerians the way MuhamMAD was obsessed with small girls.

educatedfool:
If I mistakenly jam u on the road, blood go flow

helinues:
2024, the year some South Africans reached their highest peak of pettiness

timilehin007:

In the intricate landscape of African international relations, the relationship between South Africa and Nigeria has become a focal point of tension, misconception, and resilient diplomacy.

Despite escalating social media conflicts and isolated incidents, senior diplomatic officials insist that the core of bilateral relations remains strong and multifaceted.

SA Vs NIGERIA SOCIAL MEDIA MIRAGE

Social media has emerged as a new arena for national rivalries.

In August 2024, South African users orchestrated mass cancellations of Uber and Bolt rides in Nigeria, and Nigeria reciprocated, demonstrating the potential for digital platforms to amplify tensions.

South Africa’s head of Public Diplomacy Clayton Monyela told The Citizen “Social media is not representative of the views of South Africans or Nigerians”.

“The debate on social media is just a very small aspect, and the people posting online certainly don’t represent the majority views of either country.”

Monyela argues that the diplomatic relationship between Nigeria and South Africa remains “strong, cordial, and mutually beneficial” across political, trade, and social dimensions.

He pointed to recent high-level interactions as evidence, including President Bola Tinubu’s visit to Cape Town where he led a significant delegation and was welcomed as a respected continental leader.

NIGERIA XENOPHOBIA CAUTION 'TOTALLY UNNECESSARY!'

Despite the diplomatic reassurances, several recent incidents have tested the bilateral relationship:

In February 2024, Nigeria’s High Commission in Pretoria issued a warning to its citizens about potential threats during the Africa Cup of Nations semifinal.

The advisory, which referenced “inflammatory online comments” and threats against “Nigerians cooking jollof rice” drew sharp criticism from South African officials.

[b]Monyela swiftly responded.

“Bafana Bafana has played the Super Eagles many times, and there’s no history of soccer hooliganism associated with the outcome of such encounters. South Africans pose no threat to Nigerians… This is totally unnecessary!”[/b]

ENTERTAINMENT RIVALRY?

The “diplomatic chill” may have also impacted cultural exchanges.

Nigerian music sensation Ayra Starr saw her Johannesburg and Cape Town shows cancelled due to her team’s visa applications being denied.

Similarly, Nigeria’s under-18 basketball team initially faced visa challenges for the FIBA U-18 Afrobasket tournament in Cape Town, an incident the Nigerian Basketball Federation condemned as “against the spirit of sportsmanship.”

The cultural sphere has become another site of competition, particularly in music.

The rivalry between Nigeria’s Afrobeats and South Africa’s Amapiano has sparked passionate online debates.

Even the Grammy Awards became a battleground when South African popstar Tyla won the inaugural Best African Music Performance category, beating four Nigerian nominees.

CHIDIMMA ADETSHINA INVESTIGATION

The relationship has also been tested by complex identity issues. In October 2023, South African Home Affairs initiated an investigation into the citizenship of a Soweto-born law student, Chidimma Adetshina, and her Mozambican-born mother, referring the case to the Hawks for criminal investigation.

Adetshina’s father is Nigerian and she went to the country after her troubles in South Africa. There she competed and won the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant, and later runner-up at the international Miss Universe pageant.

‘STRONG AND CORDIAL '

Monyela urged a more nuanced understanding of bilateral relations.

“The interactions between our countries at the head of state, administration, and senior officials level demonstrate our strong connection,” he explained.

He acknowledged specific challenges, such as crime and immigration concerns, but emphasised that these are being addressed through proper governmental channels.

“Diplomatic relations between Nigeria and South Africa are strong and cordial,” he reiterates. “The interactions between our countries at various levels demonstrate a commitment to mutual understanding and cooperation.”

south Africans should be banned from visiting a ny other African countries due to their xenophobe nature ...

JaceBlaze:
Thee gospel truth🙏😂

JaceBlaze:
Last I checked it was your artists booking flight tickets to come and feature with SA artists while SA can't even remember Nigeria's geographical position on the African map. You come to us even when we are not thinking about you lol.I heard the dominant genre on nightlife scene is South African Amapiano😜😂😂😂

Samantha125:
O thomile...

It's time to enjoy our festive bonuses... Pap and cabbage shall await us in January...😂😂😂

Samantha125:
I don't like this account of yours, but how can you say your family is boring when this is probably the only time you'll get to spend time with you family throughout the year?

I honestly wish I was at home with my family at this moment fixing those Christmas lights, writing down the dishes to be prepared tomorrow and just having everyone under the same roof doing something around the house... But at the same time, I don't want to leave my husband to come home to an empty house after work on Christmas day.

But come new year's, I'm going home to get lit with my sisters... When I entered December, I left my introverted self back in November and I shall see it once again in January...

Odotech:
guy, u re funny. From the onset, I knew ur motive was to mock "black" Nigerians.

Back to the topic. Kudos to south Africa. This SA power minister threw up a party upon his appointment. Merely watching the party, I thought he would fail because I was imagining that he is celebrating as one who won a jackpot or a ticket to loot SA treasury. But now, I am thrilled by his performance. Kudos

Many African politicians' behavior really makes me pessimistic about their possible outcome. It is good to have high performers up there

JaceBlaze:
Didn't boona boy say it with his own mouth that he will never set foot in SA? He boycotted himself and his wack music lol

Sold only 1500 tickets for a 95 000 capacity stadium 😂😂

Lorayne:
I'm curious. What's south Africa's biggest network operator since mtn is second.

I thought they'll be the biggest tbh

meobizy:
Is it one set of miners or this is a whole new set? I don’t understand the story again.

JOACHINpedro:
What he said is true.
And I don't know why you took it as offence.
During my University days, I notice most int conferences held in my sch had bald SA in attendance. It's cool btw

Sonnobax15:

SA men and their love for bald heads is inseparable...

Silentgroper:

Which crime carries more weight in the law of justice ??
