Politics / Re: Xenophobia: South Africans Stage Protest, Ask Nigerians To Leave Their Country by veritasetfidei: 11:47am On Sep 25, 2020
Simplymax:
In a fresh wave of xenophobia, the Nigerian Embassy in South Africa witnessed another protest by South Africans calling for immigrants, especially Nigerians, to leave their country.

The group identified as “Only One SA”, on Wednesday, alleged that Nigerians and some other immigrants are behind human trafficking and other criminal activities in the country, including drug dealings.

One of the organizers of the protest during an interview with a local news agency lamented the lack of action on the part of the government.

“Today we’re taking a stand to say no to human trafficking, no to c‎hild abduction, no to drugs, we need a clean country, SA must be safe and free,” he said.

Asked if the protest is not influenced by xenophobia, she said,

Quote
“Look, South Africa, we have freedom of speech. They are allowed to say it’s xenophobic if that’s how they feel I cannot stop them but I know the cause that I have started it’s got nothing to do with xenophobic but it’s got everything to do with saving the small children.

“Children are going missing every day and the government is not doing anything about it… Nigerians are known for being perpetrators of these cases.

“Look, Nigerians, they are known to be the top of the list, yes there are South Africans. So now we’re going with the smoke, they must tell us who are their partners in South Africa, if they are using them then they must talk to us and who are the govt officials that are working to them, they must tell us.”

She also said that there have been numerous cases regarding “drugs and human trafficking but nothing is happening, that Mildred police station is rotten to the core, the Nigerians are just paying them to do as they like”.

Now what could the purpose of this post be other than to ferment discord amongst citizens of different countries .
Here are the facts .
1. There was march
2. it was a handful of people and peaceful

The picture used in the article that the link refers to was actually from a protest against lack of municipal service delivery in 2017
https://theconversation.com/south-african-protesters-echo-a-global-cry-democracy-isnt-making-peoples-lives-better-77639

Yet the picture is posted here to create the impression that South Africans are violently protesting against the presence of Nigerians . Nothing like some fake news . Time to scratch that news source off my approved list of news sources .

why are you guys targeting only nigerians?,you are not talking to kids or dumbheads here,nigerians are less then 2% of your country's population,trying to shift your social/economic problems on them is quite stupid and dumb.i think black south africans are suffering from stockholm syndrome,the whites and the anc which are they know are their problems are being worshiped by them.black south africans are confused.


If you took the time to view the video you would have seen that it was aimed at the Nigerian and Zimbabwean embassy. A better question would be why is this happening in other African countries as well. Either it is a continental conspiracy where the citizens of SA , Ghana and Kenya got together and decided "hey bros we do not like Nigerians lets ask them to get lost because we are super jealous of their undeveloped infrastructure , lack of water and electricity" OR the behavior of your citizens has led to this .

If it was just a general inability to blame government for its failings then you would see these complaints and marches against all African migrants would you not and yet the same suspects keep being blamed I wonder why that is ?

There is a well know Japanese saying" the nail that sticks out shall be hammered down" The seriousness of the offenses Nigerians are committing coupled with their loud ,boorish behavior when arrested is what attracts the attention.
South Africans have no issue with Nigeria let alone any jealousy our strength does not require your weakness and in fact the continent will be so much better with both of us at the height of our strength and full potential however that will not be possible until such time as Nigerians have the ability to introspect and realize that something needs to change. What a great country you will be when that realization dawns.

you will hardly find a white or indian south african in this so called protest,the truth is the average black south african is suffering from severe poverty and are disillusioned with their terrible standard of living.since the anc(the ruling party) is controlled by black south africans,they(black south africans) know putting the blame on their dutch and indian overlords wont and cant hold water again and even if they(black southafricans) hate their foreign overlords they know they cant do anything to hurt them,so what and who should take the blames now?,booom where we go NIGERIANS,yeah you heard me right fucking nigerians,and the ridicoulous allegations of drug dealing was a perfect excuss to target nigerians.dumb black south africans nigerians are not your problems,your dutch invaders and their western friends are your real enemies.grow some balls dumb black south africans and target them,dumbheads.

What a load of balderdash masquerading as fact . Have you ever read a South African newspaper ? Followed a parliamentary debate live online ? The issues that south africans are currently debating include amongst others :

1. Land reform
2. Corruption
3. Labor law reform to encourage investment

As a person of mixed heritage no one that I know is scared of debating or confronting any other south african and we do not have overlords . Do yourself a favor and join r/southafrica on Reddit and watch the debats and arguments there which I submit is a reasonable microcosm of our society and the debates we are currently having.

What Nigerians have to do is admit that the majority of Nigerians leaving for SA are not the cream of the crop but rather those who bring your country no praise . Calling this out and acknowledging it is the first step towards realizing that their conduct is detrimental to international relations in the long term due to the perception of Nigerians which these chaps create by their persistent and endemic unlawful behavior.

Find below a link illustrating how many foreigners were in SA prisoners as of 2017

Well I am not ur doctor

So I still don't need to be in SA

Whoever goes there, goes there of their own accord and volition

I know some other places where I will go with my money and knowledge when need be. I tell you, I have never been idle for too long and I don't sell drugs or p.i.m.p.

btw there are Nigerians in SA who are there for pleasure and leisure

I afford things I have been buying from ShopRite as well as many other Nigerians.

Ripping Nigerians off and we hardly complain.

So No Level....

Uhm Shoprite is where the poor in SA shops . The middle class and up shop at Spar/Pick and Pay and Woolworths so yes the level of development is different . Lets be factual and try not to be disingenuous when debating it adds nothing to the conversation.
Crime / Re: #AlayeMafo: My Encounter With A "South African" Scammer On Telegram (scrnshots) by veritasetfidei: 12:19pm On Sep 24, 2020
Pretty terrible scammer to be honest . Adongo is a name that has Kenyan etymology not South African .
When will people learn that if it sounds too good to be true it generally is ? Anyone offering returns above those that financial institutions and Banks offer are scammers then again if it were not for scammers we would not have the adage "that a fool and his money are soon parted"

I like how you introduced the assets you trade in under the guise of explaining how someone tried to scam you . I wonder how many fools are going to contact you about the "utterly reliable" and non scam manner of trading that you do .smiley

Those lazy and stupid bastards are something else, reason why the blacks there are so damn poor, if not because of the whites, they won't be here talking trash about Nigerians.

This must be the most silly thing I have read in awhile and that is saying a lot given the tendency for stupidity on the internet in general. You know nothing about our people and history other than what can be gleaned from anecdotal stories . Feel free to visit our country and be amazed stop listening to stories online smiley

A little quote for you with a source

"While South Africa remains one of the most unequal countries in the world, Oxfam recognised that it was also the African country doing the most to inequality.

“Top-ranking South Africa is in second place for social spending, with a strong record of investing in health, education and social protection,” Oxfam said.

“Their Africa ranking on labour rights and minimum wages is also reasonably high, coming in eighth. This may improve further if the government introduces a national minimum wage this year as planned, despite opposition.

“The most impressive indicator, however, is tax progressivity, where South Africa comes first among African countries, and third globally.”

Guess what ? A black government is responsible for that . Our country is generations ahead of yours in most aspects , accept it , work harder and move on.

[quote author=Vyzz post=93840102]South Africans are becoming a thorn in the flesh of all Africans....


The can't even stand up and tell theirselves the truth... The should look inwards if the truly wants to fight against the shit the been going through....


When ever a thing doesn't go their way the wyn and wail like a kid pointing accusing finger to other nations... (Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Madagascar and Co)...


With all this their wailing nobody is truly going to take them seriously....


I repeat... The should look inwards [/q
That makes no sens e what does looking inward have to do with the allegation that a Nigerian syndicate is kidnapping kids? The cops will investigate and if there is any truth to the allegation arrest will be made .Our specialized units do not play with these types of offenses . Time will tell whether the allegations have merit or not
Crime / Re: South Africans Identify a "Nigerian" Suspect by Looking at his Head (TWEETS) by veritasetfidei: 9:18am On Sep 07, 2020
Well it is obviously not a South African and looks like a Nigerian .That being said Nigerians are disliked in SA for obvious reasons none which are xenophobic in nature since Ghanians , Kenyans and Zimbabwean citizens live peacefully among us . We only have issues with loudmouths that bring crime and drugs to our country. I suspect Nigeria would feel the same if our scum was coming to your country and not contributing to the economy but becoming a drain on our healthcare system et al.
