It’s unfair and unearned to blame Nigerians for the crime situation in South Africa when official government statistics consistently show that the majority of crimes are committed by South African citizens.

Politicians and sections of the media often highlight and repeatedly broadcast a small number of crimes involving foreigners. Through constant repetition, those isolated incidents begin to feel widespread and systemic, even when the data does not support that conclusion.

The Nigerian population in South Africa is relatively small compared to the overall population. Logically, it is impossible for such a minority group to be responsible for a disproportionate share of national crime.

However, when certain crimes are amplified over and over again, it can distort public perception. Repetition creates familiarity, and familiarity can be mistaken for frequency. Over time, ordinary people may begin to believe that Nigerians are everywhere or that they are the primary cause of crime even when official statistics say otherwise.

Brilliant take.

Not to park the car. He is the driver; he should have zoomed off at top speed and crashed the car. At least everybody go feel am.

You are fighting for your life, its either flight or fight. He chose to fight and lost. There is no could have, should have.

motymop:
We are being used as scapegoat in South Africa and these Scape goating is spilling over to other African countries

Social media is not just cruise. It shapes perception and perception shapes behavior. In countries like South Africa, anti-immigrant rhetoric has historically spiked around election periods. When politicians or influencers repeatedly frame Nigerians as the cause of crime, unemployment, or social decay, that message doesn’t just sit on X or Facebook, it can influence how ordinary people think and act offline.

When mob violence happens, nobody checks tribe. They don’t ask if someone is Igbo, Yoruba, or Hausa. They see nationality.

My brother you sabi Southy people politics well well.

KingCold:
Thats what you say.. whether you actually lived there..its dubious at best.

What do I gain from lieing but believe what you will if it makes you feel better.

KingCold:
"Fighting" and "setting the record" are two different things.. lets also not forget this forum exists in cyberspace.. im not loitering in your country abusing your resources

But what is the use of setting the record straight to a bunch of misfits that have been doing the same thing on this forum for over 10+ years.

You get power!

motymop:
the reason they are nairaland is to gaslight everyone...they are either working in the sa embassy in nigeria or just some paid keyboard warriors

I certainly believe there are some people here who are definitely spies for some hate organizations in South Africa.

KingCold:
Classic victim Seppuku.
1. There are things that would make sense if you a south african.. living in SA not as a righteous foreigner peeping in from afar.

You tend to forget I lived in your country for a time eh! Shame.

KingCold:
I stumbled onto this forum because I used to view it as a guest and I would see the BS you people were saying about my country and its people

Ahhh so you came to fight back these Nigerians, making comments on a Nigerian forum. I guess it makes you no better than us.

KingCold:
lol, oh of course. What else can you say? . Nigeria is still a violent place Igwe. I laugh wen I see you people grandstanding

So is the congo, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Central African republic, Sudan, USA, Colombia, Libya e.t.c

The point being your stats indicate you are far more violent than the above-mentioned countries.

KingCold:
oh they do.. the disrespect Nigerians have for their hosts says it all..

According to most South Africans, every black foreigner in their country is disrespectful to them so that comment carries zero weight.

KingCold:
What am I doing here? First of all ask yourself how a Non -Nigerian stumbles onto this forum..

I am asking you why you are here, you are busy dancing around the question. SMH

KingCold:
lol.. "violent tendencies"? This would make sense coming from a Namibian not a Nigerian.. Nigeria is a violent country

Your violent tendencies are much worse.

KingCold:
Nigerians dont like South Africans too.. yet they are in our country in numbers and there are threads on this forum of people planning to relocate here..

The Nigerians who relocate are usually the ones who don't despise South Africans ergo they are ready to relocate to your country and interbreed with your sisters.

The question then remains if you are like the Nigerians who hate South Africans, what are you doing here?

KingCold:
This still doesnt disprove my comment.

Your nationality is the one associated with criminality, or dubious behavior, all over Africa not us

It doesn't disprove but it does clarify that your violent tendencies are incomparable to others all over Africa. Especially against foreigners.

KingCold:
me being on this forum doesn't change the fact that South Africans generally dont like Nigerians.. I was pointing out a fact.. what you do with it.. your business

The rest, the usual 🗑 🚮

It doesn't change the fact, however the question still remains if you are one of these South Africans, why hang around that which you dislike?

KingCold:
lol, and the funny thing is you're the ones globally associated with crimes.. even in the same South Africa

The violent crimes you commit are incomparable.

Stats don't lie Irongalaxy.

KingCold:
lol, trust me..the feeling is mutual

So why are you here. Why not go to a South African forum and stay with you brothers. People usually avoid what they hate.

It hurts your ego so much so that a so called useless set of people "ON LINE" are blasting your people on a "Nigerian" forum.

You def have a lot of "hate" in you.

May it continue to burn inside you and never give you rest.

RIP to the young man who died. A lesson to all that crime is crime and evil people should never get away with what they do.

highchief1:
I no no o.i poor go SA rich come back.

You don answer without answering.

No Wahala.

highchief1:
no country in the world has made men like SA.followed by Malay.I made my fortune in SA

Legitimately?

RandDigital:
Go do what you do best Abegistanian. IShowSpeed exposed your culture to the world.

Stop the digressing. The topic is on that poor Nigerian boy doing an honest job and getting killed by violent South Africans.


This is not IShowspeed matter.

mrkings84:
When they say 'What a man can do a woman can do it better' just imagine her....

But South Africa is much more inclined to safety measures. Imagine CCTV could still capture them inside the vehicle.

If it were in Nigeria, no one will ever know what happened to the young man..

Nigerian leaders you guys can do better!!

Naija na one chance and they will steal your bag and 99% of the time you will survive the encounter. South Africa na 50-50.

pick your poison.

johngwain:
They will be caught, their faces show very well, this was one of the reasons I left south Africa, a country I lived for 8years I was targeted more than 4 times,but na God save me.

You are lucky. Most of the people I know who fled to Canada suffered the same. All reported being victims of some form of crime multiple times.

omoredia:
As long as Nigerians do not care if Nigeria is safe no where in the world will be safe for Nigerians. We should understand this.

Which Nigerians do you know who don't care that Nigeria should be safe?

BarrElChapo:
South Africans sometimes behave like turji Bello and his likes in the NE. Why not just rob him and go, even take the car. Why kill him? May his soul rest in peace.

They want to erase all possibility of being identified later plus most of them are high when they commit these crimes.

May such tragedy never befall us.

RandDigital:
I offered a civilised response and you had to stoke the fires. Yes, crime affects everyone, as to who the perpetrators majorly are is another question I'm not up to discussing today 🥱😴😴😴

I wasn't expecting you to discuss anything. I am simply commenting.

motymop:
A dash cam captured the fatal attack of a 22 year old Nigerian e-hailing/ Bolt driver Isaac Satlat in Pretoria. The young man was hijacked and strangled last night in Pretoria.

His body and the car were found some kilometers away in Moshongo, Attridgeville just outside Pretoria.

Satlant was a student and he was due to graduate next month and plans were underway for him to move to Canada to continue with his studies.

See how they are running around now claiming crime is crime and can happen to anybody but when they catch a Nigerian criminal the whole of South Africa must claim that foreigners are the ones committing crime.


I still don't know what Nigerians are looking for in that country, maybe its the big back side SMH

motymop:
well that is none of my concern.

I can testify first hand that a South African stands a better chance of being mugged on the streets of downtown CBD than walking around oshodi market with a stack of money in your hands.

motymop:
there are no 2 million illegal nigerians in SA, the distance from nigeria to south africa is about by air is 2826 miles and by land is 6,632 km, it also takes 10-15 working days to get a visa to SA. SA has no borders with nigeria, it makes no logical sense to assume that 2 millions illegal nigerians are in SA. even the UK, the most visited by Nigerians because of historical links, do not have up 400k nigerians living there considering they have tougher immigration requirement than south africa.

your claim that there are 2 million illegal Nigerians in SA, that would mean 3% of the entire South African population makes no logical sense.

Don't mind that one my brother. It's the propaganda he has been hearing from his xenophobic people.

Ask him to quote the source where he got that number from and watch the sounds of crickets.

IronGalaxy:
okay

Yes Sir!

IronGalaxy:
whatever floats your boats bro

Facts float my boat not feelings.

IronGalaxy:
Lol.. you make me laugh

At least you did not accuse me of being a liar.

I can live with that.

IronGalaxy:
The usual 🗑 🚮
You're just pissed there are Nigerians who can think critically and dont follow the "victim" or "giant of Africa" narrative, Now you're trying to pit them against me.
Pathetic

Nigerians have always been people who are able to think critically so much so that others take advantage of this very liberal and openminded ability.

The warning is against so called Africans who hide or do not dicuss their dirty laundry in the guise of being "Patriotic".

Princedapace:
I really dont care about that. At least his country hate others, right? But Nigerians hate them selves and will gladly elect useless leader because of hatred for one another. If it is not Igbos vs Yoruba, it is hausa vs igbo, fulani slaughtering others. So, they are better of than us abeg.

Two different histories' so not comparable with each other. Their ethnic dynamics are not as complex as ours.

Reference:
When are we going to ICE and deport the bandits and Jihadists rampaging through parts of Nigeria allegedly imported by a certain past government to ensure they won in 2015 but have apparently lost control of.

Out GDP never reach to carry out such a tedious job.

Mirasteel:
It's not about deporting illegal immigrants, ICE are doing too much. infact they are killing more citizens than immigrants. they act like thugs and the orange man do support their thuggish behaviour.

A majority of them are untrained "immigrants" with heavy accents themselves signing up for that bonus and a chance to walk around with impunity rounding people up like gestapo thugs.

What some people will do for money.
