SmartPolician: I don't even know the difference between Nigeria and South Africa. Neither of the teams play tactical football. Is this what they will play in the World Cup? African football is not growing!
The South Africans are going to the WC.
We wish them well make dem rep Southern Africa but as far as watching their games, I no do.
BlackViper: I'm surprised by how ordinary this south african team is, especially since this is supposed to be their best team in a long time and they are yet to create any real or meaningful goal scoring opportunities.
If not for that own goal by Ekong, Nigeria should be winning this game.
It shows that the problem with Nigeria's problem all along has been one of attitude and not quality.
Don't mind them. Dem no reach naija for football. See as fear dey dem body.
Christlike01: These SAns are already creating some funny narratives about Bassey's goal. Do I even blame them? No — the Super Eagles put Naija in this situation.
Make dem holla tire, na their way.
Goal stand 1:1
If they don't like make dem pray to their Sangoma!
Arapmoi22: South African Bafana is a better team currently. I am just watching this match for patriotism. Super Eagles aren't playing good football. I don't think we can win this match playing like this. They need to show more hunger and determination to get something out of Bloemfontein.
We can win.
Will we make it to the World cup maybe?
Years back we use to support any African team going to the world cup but this time around as the world too dey disturb us Naija all the way world cup or no world cup.
Kingray10: I swear. He turned the game around with anger. I know every Nigeria players has that spirit inside them,But they don't want to unleash it. Maybe due to fear of injury.
As far as football is concerned Nigeria need to shut South AFrica mouth as much as possible.
KLEINBASS: Who ever wrote here is bull . Foreigners are welcomed in South Africa legally and they must follow the rules.no one was attacked, Nigerians (mostly undocumented one)want to use free government healthcare in South Africa . However there is a section in the constitution that says all foreigners visiting South Africa should have medical insurance and go to private instead they go demand free healthcare from government hospitals. Tanzania just stopped foreigners from informal business and you saying nothing. The movement in South Africa is simply saying illegal foreigners should not run businesses keyword illegal. They did not fight with anyone. Nigerians who come legally are welcomed to open and run businesses, we have many Nigerians running churches, salon, informal shops we have no problem. There is an influx of undocumented and Nigerians with criminal element becoming an economic burden also demanding free healthcare, they start swearing when their told to go to private health care
Your constitution states "everyone" is entitled to healthcare services and free healthcare specifically for children. Looby your government to reinterpret the law.
Sannisege: I was in SA sometime ago and they clearly told me that a certain tribe from Nigeria, that one that develops other places except it’s own region, was the major problem because they sell and traffic drugs in their society .
The South AFricans do not care. A Nigerian is a Nigerian to them so you are wasting your time shifting blame.
There are good number of fraternities that operate in SA who are not of South eastern origin for your info.
Lionessza6: Useless racist and xenophobic Poland. Why embarrass a hustler like this ? He is there to show your women a good time and develop your country for your laziness ? What is all this hate for Nigerians na? They are good and hardworking people suffering from the jealousy of all these other men in these countries. Leave him na, why not chase out the Arabs, whites and other blacks ? Why ?
KillahPriest: I'm not bothered about xenophobia by black south Africans, it only shows their level of intelligence besides we have worse tribal bigotry in Nigeria which fully manifested during the last general elections and into a situation where a senior government official can retweet bigoted posts on Twitter. My problem is these black South Africans are afraid of their white masters, there are even regions of their country where they can't even step foot. That is hypocrisy and laziness of the highest order
So because we have tribal bigotry in NIgeria, we should condone Xenophobia in South africa.
Vendor127001: The moment non-South Africans were chased out of a hospital in South Africa and denied medical care. Truly heartbreaking. 💔 Apparently it has been going on for a while they are called the "Dudula" which means to force out or push out. operation dudula stands to chase away foreigners sharing their resources with them.
KingCold: To me it points to an ingrained inferiority complex and a deep resentment towards black South African people.. You hardly find progressive countries like Kenya obsessing over white people.. its always them.. be it on YouTube or Twitter, theyre a forever talking about white people. Some guy was crediting white people for preserving our wildlife, I then asked him what about the wildlife in countries like Botswana, Kenya and Tanzania thats well preserved as well, he kept quiet.. Things other African countries do well, Nigerians credit white people in the case of South Africa. We are held to a different standard
Hey stop lieing Wena. You are projecting your country men's experiences on us.
We do not worship white people, if you ever see us doing it then we are about to scam the hell out of them.
Ruke1990: Many educated Nigerians like me (not those drug smugglers) who once fancied the idea of visiting south Africa have completely cancelled South Africa from our hearts looking at the venom and hate spilled by average south Africans against other blacks in Africa most especially Nigerians, Zimbabwe, Kenyans, etc.
The rest of Africa is developing however slow the pace. But the idea most SA have (going by their comments here and in all social media spaces) is that SA is heaven in the middle of hell. The other African countries are seen as hell. However, it's not true. SA is more industrialised than the rest of Africa, but Morocco, Seychelles, Mauritius are equally doing well. When it comes to income, and some other indices, SA is not alone. I was surprised to read that equatorial guinea even pay tech staff far above south Africa and the other more developed countries. So the rest of Africa is not hell as perceived by SA.
Back to your post. It appears, you are trying to say, free emergency medical care is strightly an indigene or citizen right - not a non-citizen right in SA. Well, it's possible for that man to have had SA citizenship if it's free for citizens. But if by SA it is an indigenous right, then the Nigerian man is completely wrong to go near there
The emotional reaction and public outrage from south Africans whenever the word "Nigeria" is mentioned has nothing to do with drugs as they allege. The average black SA has hate problem and it feels like majority of black SA suffering in the midst of plenty has conditioned you guys to this psychiatric condition. Could it be post-apartheid PTSD or what? I don't understand your grieving conditions
White SA do not complain of anyone doing drugs or taking away their jobs the way you blacks do. This tells, they nurse no hidden grievance or hate. Black SA hate minority white SA, also hate blacks from the rest of Africa. So it's a hate problem for which you guys need a "national medical rehabilitation".
Well said my brother. You are spot on. It is indeed PTSD. Don't mind some people here who are trying to get you to rationalize barbaric, uneducated and illiterate acts. The average South AFricans have only experienced NIgerians through the lens of some of these Poor village boyz who have trooped to their country and joined Drug syndicates.
A majority of them do not travel and have no other frame of reference other than what they see and all the negative news they consume on social media and please don't let them quote their constitution for you, it is a guise to express their hatred and digust at foreign nationals. They will find any excuse to discriminate where they can and their government are indirectly sanctioning it because they don't want to upset the populous as elections approach. Today its hospitals, tomorrow it will be schools, next week it will the work place, soon they will be calling them cockroaches and we will have a Rwanda on our hands again.
The movement is definitely funded by right wing nationalist sources both black and white who are seeking to replicate the immigrant resentments happening across Europe. The rhetoric is the same and its no coincidence.
