KingCold: Yet you still have a negative reputation globally , with all your plumbers and magicians... what do you think it's based of?
We see what you show us..
The only negative reputation we have is in South Africa. The rest of the world are intelligent enough to decipher "criminals" from "law abiding" Nigerians which is why we thrive seamlessly in any environment we are opportune to wind up on.
KingCold: Hahaha.. and a Nigerian of all people is saying this? 😆 🤣 😂 dude, your nationality is synonymous with criminality.! Criminals in in India, Criminals in Malaysia, the Philippines, South Africa, Ghana, Kenya, Thailand... No nation has ever banned South Africa for crimes abroad.. you on the olyher hand....
Our nationality is also synonymous with
1. The most successful Africans globally.
2. The highest population of African graduates worldwide.
3. Best African doctors, Best Engineers, best representation of Africans on the global scene.
You choose to see what you want to see and not what is actually there.
43Ronin: They initially started with the protest against igbos, but when the Ghanaian consular officer was kidnapped & killed in Abuja, & their ambassadors resudence in abuja also ransacked last week, it turned to nigeria must go.
Coincidence at best. The diplomatic entered what we all know as "one chance" and her kidnapping simply coincided with whatever was going on in Ghana at the time.
KingCold: You said ten years, I then gave you an article from 10 years ago, now you are moving further and further to prove what? looting? People have looted even malls owned by South Africans before, so these articles mean nothing. What I'm saying is that scrutiny and calls to take back these spaza shops started after these videos of these people making Coca Colas themselves and kids dying.. Take it, leave it.. up to you
My point is simply to support my statement that the call of "taking back your spaza shops" precedes any egregious acts of child deaths which by the way were actually few and far in between or the manufacturing of counterfeit goods.
I wonder as well, if children have died from contaminated foods and counterfeit goods from these spaza shops. They should be out of business "automatically" since common sense would dictate that "South Africans" would stop patronizing these hell holes.
Its either your people are not very smart or maybe there is an ulterior motive.
Ahh, so according to the article, They've been killing your kids for 10 years now. Shame.
So what about dates prior to that when spaza shops were being looted and the very same citizens were angry about it. They sure didn't care about those kids that died way back then.
I get it though, this new generation of patriots are much wiser than them.
KingCold: 1. When Seppuku doesn't like the sound of something he disputes it.. unfortunately facts are facts bro. I was there when these things first blew up, I know what I'm taking about.
2. There are Spaza shops owned by South Africa same with cellphone repairs, etc
KingCold: Do you even know how the Spaza shop thing started ? The Spaza shops thing started when videos of how the products these Somalis and Pakistani were sellling started circulating.. and how school kids began dying or hospitalized because of these contaminated foods.. eyebrows were raised there.. you guys use pan Africaniism wrongly, Julius included
1.The spaza shop thing started way before the school kid poisoning incident. A simple you tube search will provide proof of lootings that happened long before the stories of kids hit the airwaves. The poisoning simply provided the impetus to intensify the resentment of spazashop control.
2. I often wonder when your phones go bad why do your locals guys patronize these paki/indian cell phone shops and at the same time complain about their presence. Why don't you have similar "South African" phone repair shops to counter these guys.
No, it's not. Julius tried to tell you guys in the past that the most pressing problem was "crime" committed by criminals including foreigners, but you labelled him a pan Africanist and unpatriotic sell out.
Operation dudula is not at the front lines of the drug, kidnapping or mozambican car jacking syndicate. They are busy targeting spaza shop owners and blocking sick people from entering hospitals.
KingCold: How likely are you to see a German immigrant snatching someone's phone? Or stealing copper cables? or raping? or caught in the corner selling drugs?
Ahhh, I see you are worried about the ones committing crimes so Why don't we as a "government" prioritize the criminals that are committing crimes first before we move down to the less dangerous ones.
KingCold: Ofcourse, we blame the government for allowing this number of people to come to our country and do as they please.. Half of what these people do in SA won't be tolerated in their countries of origin..
PS. I don't see you guys being overly passionate and taking it to the streets of camps bay and SeaPoint. I know without a doubt there are a lot of "expatriates" sorry "Legal migrant foreigners" there in cohorts with the "Whites" making sure their numbers don't dwindle.
What patriot's you guys are or maybe you only know how to defend your hoods/kasi's.
KingCold: Of course, cheap labour is always an issue.. That's exactly why I initially said you're taking multifaceted issues and simplifying them. You guys forget that South Africa has the biggest number of African immigrants on the continent, we face things you have no clue about, you don't understand the dynamics that come with it, but love pointing fingers.. You can't have that many foreigners and your country won't take some strain, be it socially, economically, criminally, and other ways..
Who is to blame for that, "the migrants" or your incompetent government?
When your founders were drafting up that brilliant liberal constitution, surely you guys were aware that you were situated within the African continent or did you?
PS. You continue to ignore the fact that I have been on ground there in your country for many years in the past and are simply not talking from my ass on this matter. Why do you think I focus on it specifically the most.
KingCold: if you call South Africans "xenophobic" for complaining about Mozambicans stealing cars and sneaking them across the border, for Somalians selling poisonous food to kids, Nigerians selling drugs, Zimbos killing people, and destroying infrastructure etc.. I would vehemently defend my people because you use that word... to shut down legitimate concerns
It's not the same as Yoruba denying Igbo an apartment just because they're Igbo
Don't forget complaints about "not having a child because of a foreigner" or "not getting jobs" as well. Very legitimate reasons.
KingCold: Do you foam at the corners of the mouth, addressing the rampant tribalism in your country? Or is the fake outrage spared only for South Africa?
based on the premise above this would mean that you South Africans are not better than Nigerians and we are all the same tribalist Africans.
Jman06: Just some few weeks back, we saw how South Africans were online making inciting comments so as to fuel the tension between Ghanaians and Nigerians over the Eze Ndigbo saga. Reading through such unprovoked biased attacks on Nigerians is scary and shows that xenophobia is indeed waxing stronger in SA.
They are looking for justification and support across the continent, but no other African country is willing to support evil.
KingCold: it's called media sensationalism.. we don't go around killing people here; it makes no sense.. Why are there so many Nigerians living in SA, creating YouTube videos, praising the country, and narrating their culture shocks, etc , if that were the case? I there's anyone who needs to change, it's your people and how they behave outside of Nigeria.. The xenophobia card has long lost its potency; it's abused now
Media sensationalism huh. Imagine saying you hate foreigners because you don't have a child. That's some deep stuff.
Xenophobia is real my people, don't be deceived by your own eyes.
KingCold: Very selective, going the victim route as per usual.. taking multi-faceted issues and bending them to suit your victim narrative. classic Seppuku
How am I being selective. You want to me condemn my brothers doing bad things in South Africa. Very well for the record.
1. I unequivocally condemn any Nigerian in South Africa selling drugs and support their expedited deportation with immediate effect.
2. I unequivocally condemn any Nigerian cultists causing problems, hijacking buildings and human traffiking in South Africa and support their immediate arrest and deportation.
3. I also condemn Xenophobia of foreign nationals which has nothing to do with the above two issues I have just condemn.
I doubt my condemnation will make any difference but none the less.
Evilthoughts: They are the most horrible people on this continent. Africa would be a better place without that South Africa. They are the most un-African people I have ever seen,maybe they were planted on this continent that's why they look,sound and act funny and different. Those people are 👽.
I wouldn't use the word horrible. A more appropriate word would be "traumatized". If you really want to understand the present of any peoples, you must study their past intensely.
I recommend three great books that will give you a better insight.
Jman06: Are you trying to exempt your xenophobic countrymen from killings which we all know is their stock in trade? There have been several cases of xenophobic attacks carried out by SA men against not only Nigerians but nationals of other African countries.
Don't mind them. They are trying to demonize foreigners because the foreigners have chanced them and taken over the informal sector so much so that their youth are busy running round the streets smoking Nyaope and raping small girls.
Personally I want them to take over these sectors. If I were a betting man I would not give them a year before they start complaining about something else.
Evilthoughts: WizardOfNG Femi4 see what you people support. These people you think are your friends are calling for the killing of Nigerians in their country and you think they are your friends ?
Only seppuku seems to know how these South Africans reason . Instead of condemning their killer people, they are blaming Nigerians
Bros, dem no like say I sabi them die that is why dem dey vex with me no be small.
Just as obsessed as 3 South Africans who care so much about Nigerian comments and what what, as to be active on a Naija website, some even for close to a decade.
geoworldedu: Are you sure they are here in Nigeria? Of course they should be here, but far less in number than Nigerians over there. You will hardly come across a single one of them.
Bros dem dey Abuja. They just camouflage a lot so you will not know they came to do Ashawo here for these politicians, after getting paid its back to Pretoria they go.
adenigga: I understand your feelings, but two wrongs can not make a right! It's clearly shown that we are more mature than them. Those guys that carried out that crimes were not yet born during the South Afrca's Apathaid days which Nigeria champin their country's freedom.
Please stop with the Nigerian helped them during Apartheid. Those people do not care about those facts. They will attack an innocent Nigerian tourist who visits their township at the mere mention of the word "Nigeria".
