People outside of South Africa will not understand the real reason behind this chaos. South Africa is made up of foreign nationals from Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Congo, Somalia, Uganda, Liberia, Kenya, Nigeria, Egypt ect. But ask yourself why more Nigerians seem to be affected by these attacks when there are more Zimbabweans, Mozambicans and Somalians in SA? Is it xenophobia or are Nigerian criminals making it hard for residence of certain areas to live a safe life? Lucky Dube was killed in the area of Rosettenville in Johannesburg by none South African criminals. This area is infested with crime that rages from drugs, robberies, prostitution ect. Residents of that area that includes a residential population compromising , 20%South Africans and the rest being foreign nationals -including law abiding Nigerian. Residence of this area are sick and tired of crime; children can no longer freely use the public pools and sports grounds because of fear. Thus the community residents which include law abiding foreign nationals have taken the law into their hands and targeted properties where these dark acts are taking place. It's unfortunate that the owners of these criminals happen to be Nigerian nationals. These criminals could have been South African or from any other country and these residents could have reacted the same. So please tell me if you still feel its xenophobia when other nationalities are not being targeted. Please note that thousands of law abiding Nigerians are not even targeted, so can we still use the media propaganda and call it xenophobia? South Africans and law abiding foreign nationals in SA are just flabbergasted of crime and it is unfortunate that these acts of crime are committed by a few non- law abiding Nigerians. I'm against the community taking the law into their hands by fighting crime but the police have failed these residence. But it's really a fact that 90% of court cases listened in most of South African courts happen to be of Nigerians. It's a sad truth but I can also say there are many law abiding Nigerians who have lived in SA for over 30 years who will attest that xenophobia is just propaganda.

How did you arrive at that figure ? Most people just quote statistics that has not been verified. BTW, S. Africans are known to attack other Nationals. Don't paint Nigeria black as if all criminals are Nigerians.
Secondly, are you trying to say that all the Nigerians killed were criminals ?

ayokellany:
So you know Nigeria is not perfect but you expect perfection from South Africa ?! Isn't that weird.

Should imperfection include killing other people ? So called educated Nigerians don't love themselves. When the herdsmen were killing citizens up and down, we made it look as if it was ordinary.

i understand fully, here geographical loction is a paramount factor to look into. ...i think you took a wise decision

what sector are you?

In government parastatal..

Some of you Nigerians are pretty pathetic. Do you remember how long Obasanjo begged for FDI before both Shoprite and MTN came to Nigeria ? You forgotten so quickly how many times he travelled to Europe and America seeking foreign direct investment without getting any until those SA companies came to your rescue.

You have forgotten so quickly how you chased out foreign nationals helping to develop your economy n country in the name of nationalisation. How much growth or development have you achieved without them.

You chose not to remember your president past n present global travel for the same FDI. Your brain might be very little but remember after chasing them away investor will look back 20-30 yrs from now on you antecedent and dealings with them before coming again so chase them all you want but remember the regret will haunt you several years to come.

You're making it sound as if they are doing us a favour. MTN and co make more in Nigeria than any other country. Yes, we know Nigeria is not perfect but that doesn't mean we should be treated with scorn

sorextee:
Let the Nigerians there come back home o. Those south Africans there no get joy..
Na apartheid really fit those people.. They re not fighting the whites taking away the juicy part of the jobs there.. Na person wey open car wash business dem dey kill.
Useless people...

I even heard killing someone carries a lower sentence than rape..

They are big fools .
But it's not easy for Nigerians too just come home like that. Afterall, many of them are legal residents. They've invested millions in there.

bro u dont need to work in shell to achieve dis ,. lets say i earn 150k and my rent is 100k for 2bedroom in an average side of town when it comes to structure and light ..thts not an estate but a condusive building ...the remaining 50k should upkeep me for 30days ...kapish

I'm speaking from what I experienced. I don't know where you work or how much you earn. Let me tell you my experience.
My office is in Abuja. Definitely, I can't get a house close to my office in Garki. I would have to spend my 6 months salary. So what I did is to rent an apartment, in JIKWOYE, not too far. I have to pay twice my salary. That's was my best option. People even suggested an apartment that would cost 200k more than what I earn.
It's a difficult choice.

I trust my naija people. Dem for don cook and chop am before any discovery yarn.

My one month salary shoukd be able to pay my rent of 2bedroom flat and rmaining to keep body and soul dat month.... Bless God

If you dey work for Shell... . It depends on the work though..

bukatyne:
100k rent on 600k salary is still high.

How about child care, school fees, feeding, clothing, entertainment, helping relatives, savings, investment etc?

Does your wife work? If no, you both need to strategize.

But wetin person go do nah ? Can one find a cheaper comfortable housing ?

The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has made their biggest cocaine bust at the Oliver Tambo International Airport on Saturday, February 18, 2017. In a statement released, the customs officials revealed that it was their biggest cocaine bust.

'It marks the biggest ever cocaine bust by Customs officials in South Africa. The narcotics, en route from Sao Paulo to Nairobi, Kenya, were found in a cargo warehouse during routine operations.

'The specific shipment indicated as ‘cosmetics’ on official documentation, was identified for closer inspection through Customs profiling techniques,' SARS narrated.

They were said to have conducted a drug test on a number of randomly selected containers after narcotic detector dogs reacted positively to the cargo. 271kg cocaine estimated to worth around R78 million (N1.9B) were found packed in hair products.
The drugs have been handed over to the Police for further investigation.

I was looking out for Naija...

ironheart:
Nigerians come home, what are you doing there? Apart from the clean street and good structures, we are better off. I just wish our government is more citizen oriented

Not as simple as that. There are many foreigners in Nigeria as well as other countries. You can't judt say they should leave theur country of residence.

BlueRayDick:
Now this is no longer funny.....Am one of those who laugh at MMM participants having warned them to thread carefully when it was at its peak, but got insults in return. Some of my friends were even so sure that MMM would last for more than 2 years, tho we all know how it all ended. Now this guy has ended up killing himself, rendering his about-to-be wife a widow even b4 the wedding.

However, Its no longer funny, with lives being lost and family ruined. Its definitely not funny again. If u have anyone who invested and lost in the scheme, I think the best u can do is just try and keep an eye on them before they do something life-threatening to themselves

I'm beginning to lost count of people who killed themselves because of MMM. This is wickedness

" Buhari said" according to Femi Adesina..

My Able Incoming Presido, god bless u Sir!!
Afonja always on point!!heheehe hehe hehehe

. Na you kill Buhari ?

azimibraun:
God bless you jare. Nigerians tallk as if these countries don't have embassies in Nigeria hence they don't know Nigerians. If you really want to know about Nigeria ask a foreigner. They do a lot of researches and studies about us and the get direct interactions with our People so they know our mindset. I can bet you there are south Africans in Ajegunle and onitsha on a study mission getting direct info on how we think about them and their country. When they talk we will argue they don't know us. They know a lot. We talk to them everyday about our plans to go and hustle (negatively) in their country foolishly. The give feedback to their country. They know us well. We are fool of evil. The world has gone beyond that level where 9 out of 10 people just get on a plane to go and hustle in a strange land. Now 9 out of 10 go to work for their companies while just 1 goes on behalf of him/herself into a strange country. See Chinese, Germans, Americans, South Africans, even Lebanese etc.

You fail to see that these S. Africans are xenophobic. They hate foreigners, most especially Nigerians. It's not as if Nigerians are perfect. If this hate speech is encouraged by people like you, don't be surprised if it comes back to haunt you.

This News is Authentic! My close friend and colleague was affected yesterday. He was trying to pay a Merchant online with Paypal and was rejected severally.

I offered to give guides on how he could manoeuvre because i have once had issues with my account too but to no avail until he called me this morning to break the sad news.

He said CBN directed the Banks to stop due to the way "G Boys" were using Paypal for transactions. I was shocked ehn!

Now people running Online Jobs that involve transacting with Paypal will have to start sourcing for Credit Cards. What is life in Nigeria again!?

This CBN governor is silly. . He is making life more difficult for Nigerians....

After stayed at home for almost a year jobless I now believed that connection is the only way to get a good job in Nigeria because all those graduated with 2.2 and pass but well connected are all gainfully employed. Me with my strong 2.1math/comp.sci still here jobless, if na to pray i don turn to prayer warrior all to no avail but I still blv God can do it, I've attended some interviews only to meet like 50 applicants (some with experience) on one/two positions hmmm also no even 20k to start any business

Try to network. I don't mean joining a networking scheme like MMM oh. . But when you get to know some important people, they'll most likely be glad to help you.
It won't be bad to look for a powerful church like RCCG to join. But u have to be a bit patient though. Just meet more people. QED.

Wife of the President, Her Excellency Mrs. Aisha Buhari has charged privileged Nigerians to do more in the lives of the less privileged with a view to increasing the feeling of humanity among citizens. She made the call during the distribution of gift packs to patients at the four district hospitals in Abuja; Asokoro, Garki, Wuse and Maitama in commemoration of her birthday, On Friday 17th February, 2017.

Mrs. Buhari, who was speaking through Senior Special Assistant to the President, Dr. Hajo Sani, further said that imbibing the spirit of giving will spread love and amity in the polity. She said these gifts exemplify the work that Her Excellency’s project, Future Assured is doing all over Nigeria, especially to the less privileged.

“Her Excellency wants to remember the less-privileged on this important day and that is why she is sharing with them. She wants to touch their lives and wants them to feel her on this symbolic day” said Dr. Hajo Sani.
The Medical Director, District Hospital, Asokoro Dr. Abubakar Ahmadu, who led the team round maternity, neonatal and paediatric wards in the Hospital, commended wife of the President for her humanitarian services that hold wide acclaim and said the gift packs are symbolic of what privileged Nigerians should do to the underprivileged.
Dr. Sani was supported by Dame Pauline Tallen, former Deputy Governor of Plateau State, and Mrs. Beatrice Bassey, Coordinator, African First Ladies Peace Mission at the outing.

I'm beginning to wonder at what age she got married to bubu

Drversatile:
You went to school and you refuse to allow the school pass through you. Mind you she is putting on a nose mask , medical group stuff or so.

To me the dressing is trash. Why put NYSC cap on the hijab. Either wear the cap and remove the hijad. Nonsense.

If she was only putting on nose mask, she wouldn't have been called a masquerade. When the whole head is covered except the eyes she will look like one.

Make una talk am again.

Yeye people

No mind the mumu people !!

I hope you understand that by "recent" I'm referring to the past 10yrs.

.... . Why not last 30 years ? Funny dude.

nduchucks:
Nigerians should be a bit patient is all I can say. Recent looting coupled by low oil prices and lack of adequate Export products are not helping, but we are moving in the right direction.

That alone can erode the confidence of the masses.

nduchucks:
The OP'S write-up smacks of profound ignorance of basic micro and macro Economics, monetary policy and other major factors which affect GDP, unemployment at the national level, and foreign exchange rates.

Understandably, it is difficult for most people to wrap their hands around N1 billion, let alone the hundreds of trillions of naira siphoned out of the coffers of the government of this great country.

The damage done by the last government in particular, will take much more than 2 years to repair. The sufferings of many Nigerians at this time is very unfortunate but unavoidable.

Insha Allah, by the time Buhari finishes draining the swamp, the next crop of leaders would build on a foundation which would also suffer from corruption, but manageable corruption.

So what should Nigerians do ? We voted for change but we are getting excuses . Obj didn't blame Abacha like this. Abacha left $3bn for Obj.
Tjus administration should learn to take responsibility.
