DickenClarq: They is one thing I learnt from this South African protest on illegal & legal migrant.
Dear Nigerians, to you that crossed the shores or borders of Nigeria and start insulting your country or inciting people to cause crisis in your mother land, because you feel you are far from home and it's fun, because the new place you reside gave you a paper assuring you that you are now one of them.
Note, one day their children will rise up and clearly tell you that you were never one of them. Even if you stayed there for 100years one lunatic will start a political group to evict you whether peacefully or forcefully.
Trump-US started it, Europe started their own but were distracted because of the Iran war, South Africa are not slacking.
THEY ARE ALL REMINDING YOU THAT YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THEM AND CAN NEVER BE ONE
The only place that you can beat your chest and call it your own home is your own mother land.
HamedAmed: Who told that Nigerians are not talking about the country's problems? You guys claimed that you don't want illegal immigrants in your country, why then chasing people with legal status in your country with mob-stlye actions, the truth of the matter is that Africans have taken note and will respond accordingly.
They will not answer you when you expose them for what is really biting them inside their soul.
RandDigital: Anyone familiar with SA will know he's lying. Those mini shops or Nigerians in general don't hire South Africans. They hire their own, Zimbabweans or Malawians cause they can't afford SA labour - we don't work for peanuts.
They'll approach him on June 30 to produce those 25 South African labourers - we'll see then.
Stop lieing. I have witnessed with my own eyes many foreign owned shops that hire South Africans in your country.
RandDigital: You people keep talking about a white takeover as if you had voting rights or liked black South Africans. All the insults on black South Africans came from you foreign nationals living in SA from decades ago and then spread to your home countries. So you wouldn't have fought with us anyway since y'all are such white worshippers.
They already control the Western cape and to some extent the Northern cape as well.
JuanDeDios: Ki There's a national consensus around anti-immigration sentiments in South Africa. Like I've argued before, it's not a cultural problem (an inherent hate of foreigners). The reasons are far more mundane - economics (the perception that foreigners are taking their jobs and opportunities) and the framing of crime as a foreigner problem.
The few influential people who see the danger in what's going on can't speak out, because they will face repercussions. You can ask Julius Malema about this. And you can see how the arts minister is calling out the justice minister.
Note that anti-immigration sentiments are common in all countries with high levels of immigration. It's why you had BreXit. It's why characters like Trump are in the White House. The South African flavour is the violence that attends the matter. I think the government could have prevented that by tightening border controls and deporting illegal residents.
Of course, they will soon find out that sending the foreigners home doesn't solve their problems. This matter get bia bia. I hope it's resolved peacefully in the end.
How do you resolve what is not the "source" of the real problem which is plaguing the country, which is corruption, government ineptitude and slow economic growth.
You send those Malawians back and, in a few months, they will be back. You might be able to reduce the numbers but for a while but if the real problems are not addressed this will not go away unless of course we want to go the extreme end and start unaliving people.
Northsouth: for you and who Abeg na only u dey your problem, no carry anybody join your situation in life
U fit read news, u read am finish u con dey ask irrelevant question and u dey expect rational answer. U will surely get more unreasonable with this kind of mentality
Go and read, u will see it clearly instead of waiting for crystal clear clarification
But na you sabi pass me now. You suppose lay your wisdom ontop our head.
Northsouth: even refugee self from niger dey this useless Nigeria wey u see so Everybody no fit go only one place The world is a bigger place than all that play play No whine urself. Migrants dey everywhere Who say e no gree make Dem stay say e no gree Shey Na by force to stay South Africa say make Dem dey go Nigeria must go oooo
Northsouth: both that your ivory coast and Kenya are useless countries U can see why south Africa is doing better Na why u no go hear pim from their side South Africa self go even happy self say u dey compare Dem with Dem Because the difference is clear
but migrants and refugees dey those countries. Why dem go there if those places useless.
Haeg: You haven't traveled more than me, trust me. The primary reason Nigerians travel is becaue they are fed up with their country, want a better life. Instead of holding the leaders accountable everyone wants to travel, people are selling family properties to travel, a father sending all his children abroad for greener pastures. Sit yourself down and think, ask yourself why is it that the underdeveloped countries are having the mass migration problem? Why are we not seeing a mass migration of Americans to Iran or Ghana? . These developed countries are keeping their leaders in their toes, not running away with every opportunity. We have to tell ourselves the simple truth. Our leaders are treating us this bad because we allowed it.
What are your solutions?
Sowore has been telling us to come out and cause a revolution. He has been telling you to vote for him.
Seun Kuti has been constantly trying to conscientize the masses to revolt. Do you support him. Are you on the streets?
Who did you vote for?
Did you even vote?
Only about 10% of Nigerians are outside Nigeria for your information. The rest are still here. If the remaining 90% are not doing anything. Why are you disturbing that group who have chosen to leave.
Northsouth: it's because you don't read to understand well enough, u only read to respond Anyway u should know that ah dey wash Nigeria self for complaining about south Africa now And whether Nigeria own that time na working or not, ah no wan even care about the irrelevant past now But today, a working country say make una commont from him country and u dey talk about stupidity El sir Let south Africa breath When a working country makes a policy, nothing like stupidity for there
60 million people say 5 million people ( legal and illegal) dey choke dem.
Ivory coast wey get 3 million, we never hear pim from them.
Kenya get 2.7 million we never hear noise from that side.
Northsouth: it's not stupidity sir It's a working country policy If you see it as stupidity and you are in a country that is not working Then you should know who the stupidity is for already
but you said Nigeria did it and we should let South Africans do it.
So was Nigeria a working country when they did it or was it economic pressures that prompted these incidents. Which one?
Counterigbolies: if she's an illegal immigrants anything can be done to her, u people seems to focus on south Africa but u don't care about European countries doing same
Yes, illegal immigrants are animals. They are not human beings. "Anything" can be done to them because they crossed borders.
Who rented the shop to her as an illegal?
Who patronizes her shop?
Where does she live?
Does She pay rent there?
As far as Europe is concerned. This is what is known as a strawman arguement. We are dicussing Afrophobia. If you want to talk about European racism open a thread.
