I Lived In Nigeria As A Refugee In The 1970s. I Was Born In Zimbabwe (Rhodesia). I Can Testify To The Fact That Nigerians Took Good Care Of Us Whilst We Were In Exile. I Had A Happy Childhood In Nigeria. I Will Always Be Grateful For Nigeria Did For The Liberation Of Southern Africa. In Case Nobody Has Said It I Wish To Say THANK YOU NIGERIA For Taking Care Of My Mom My Dad And Me And My Brother And Sister. Your Country Was There For Us When We Had No Where Else To Go.
as a person from Ghana i just wanna say that yes Nigerians helped South Africa but that does not mean they owe you, it is their country, it does not give you the right to expropriate their country
I do Not recall any help - However Nigerian politicians in the 1960's SCAMMED their people and School kids by COLLECTING MONEY and saying the Money is for ANC. How on earth do you send a - NIGERIAN- to COLLECT MONEY on your behalf.
You can't go to another man's house, disrespect his laws, usurp leadership and expect them to surrender their house, that is what they're doing and no-one can accept that. There are places in SA where they don't allow local people to go into, and yet it is their country, that is unacceptable.
Google, how many countries has a visa free policy with Nigeria? Google again, how many countries has a visa on arrival policy with Nigeria? Why so little number has such agreements with Nigeria? Those with such agreements with Nigeria seem to be less doing countries economically. Why is that? Just ask your self why many countries has a problem with Nigerians? There must be something wrong with them! That is so obvious!
As a Black American woman, I will say that Nigerians are not the only hard-working people on the Continent. I have met Liberians, Senegalese, Ghanaians, South Sudanese, Cameroonians, and others who are highly motivated, determined, and work exceptionally hard. What I have experienced is hatefulness, rudeness, and nastiness, from too many Nigerians (especially women), who get hateful when they find out that I am Black American, and try to engage in sabotage and throwing me under the bus for non-African communities because they think my presence is a threat to them being seen as the best in Africa. It doesn't matter how I have reached out to them, or tried to connect in a healthy way. I have had Nigerian women performing Black American music, and getting a nasty attitude or even ignoring me, when they see me, as if they don't have to acknowledge a woman in her own culture. Now, Igbo women are wonderful and beautiful. They have always been kind to me. There were 2 Muslim Yoruba women, who were kind to me. I have had a few other loving, Nigerian women, from smaller groups, as well. When you enter into someone's country or cultural spacing, you acknowledge them, respect them, and see how you can build healthy alliances with them. You don't come in with arrogant, hateful, vain mentalities, and spit on the very people whose existence made it possible for you to even have opportunities to do business in that country. Truth be told, Nigerians (and others) have a horrible reputation of being disrespectful towards Black Americans, when they come to the US. Don't care about how we made it possible for them to have opportunities in the US, don't know our her/history, our national and international contributions, call us "lazy," though we work overtly hard, don't care to know about our her/history and culture, and look down on us, despite the fact that many Nigerian businesses are in Black American neighborhoods, where they thrive, and are able to send money back home to Nigeria. Coming in to "take over," an want to "erase" Black America's presence. There are exceptions to the rule, of course. But, it's time that Nigeria look at behaviors performed by Nigerians when they travel out. Many people are not "jealous" of you because of your success. It's the behavior and aura, more than anything. I'm come from a strong, successful culture, myself. I proud of being Black American. Very proud. Yet, I don't have to look down on anyone else, who isn't.
As a fellow black american woman, I say you explained it beautifully. Though I also would like to say Nigerians disrepect the blacks of every community in various countries. They are also very rude and arrogant towards british Caribbeans, Bahamians ect and of course South Africans. They have a bad reputation all over for their terrible attitudes. I personally can't stomach these insufferable people.
Sometimes I wonder why they like to call people lazy in their own Countries, while their nature is defrauding citizens of other countries who are working very hard for their money, they're own hard work is selling drugs, ritual money, trafficking human being etc... This is shameful!
The reasons you've stated here are why they are not welcome in most places, they are unruly and disrespectful. How is possible to disliked everywhere you go and you are not in some way the problem.....If they were so great, that would be reflected in theyre own country, but even the brilliant Nigerians all over the world (and there are so many)....are not based in theyre country and that should tell you something.
@@rafiki172who told you intelligent Nigerians are not based in nigeria The problem with your statement is that you are making silly generalizations, you generalise all of Nigerians with the bad stereotypes and when you finally admit that Nigerians are intelligent all over the world you take the glory away from there country itself Incase you don't know most of those intelligent people outside the country were made here. Went to school here and built character here Your statement clearly shows that you've an anti nigerian bias in you Bye
The things that Nigerians do which you won't talk about. 1. Bringing drugs in South Africa 2. Trafficking women and Children 3. Corruption and Fraud 4. Using fake money 5. Hijacking empty buildings in South Africa and begin renting them to other Nigerians. 6. Coming to South Africa illegally. As South Africans we welcome everyone who comes to South Africa legally. And we do not want people who are not skilled. If you are a foreigner you must be coming here to do business and uplift us. I don't think you will be happy if we come to Nigeria to compete for jobs with you instead of giving you jobs.
What is the role of your police force, if arrest any criminal in your country judge him according to his crime but you guys should stop painting a whole nation because of few people crime.
1.South Africans produce drugs in south Africa. 2.They distribute to their children because their parents are also drug addicts and do not teach their children good morals 3. Their badly trained youths go about raping children and women, they kill their victims at will without any consideration. 4 south Africans are so lazy that they become jealous and envious of any nationals who came to their country to work hard hence xenophobic mentality and attack. 4. South Africa's home affairs and citizens are so corrupt that they started selling their ID and blaming others. They sell drugs to their citizens and some of their ministers are very corrupt yet they stereotype other countries of being corrupt, hypocrisy, I must say. 5. Their corrupt government sells housing estates to rich Nigeria investors and lie to their uneducated citizens that the houses were hijacked and rented to south Africans. Shallow minded and the ignoramus black South Africans will not have the intelligence to query their government instead they attack the business man. Illiteracy is indeed a disease. 6. For your information, there are many south Africans in Nigeria doing illegal business and even the ones doing the legal business always like to evade tax until they were caught and they will start begging, they will even call their president to come to Nigeria to beg. Nigeria will never stereotype them because we understand that Criminality is an individual thing despite the fact that south Africa is the number 3 criminal hot spot in the world. Check your Google for verification.
Most Africans including Nigerians cannot even tolerate their fellow countrymen of different tribal origins. But they will be shouting that people are one Africa and should go to another African country for whatever they like, even undocumented. Human nature is very hypocritical.
The big question must be why do you feel the need to leave your own country? You can't blame South Africans for mistreating Nigerians, you must blame your own government for not providing you the resources you need thus causing you to leave Nigeria. Your government has thrown in the towel and made South African government to adopt Nigerians.
If you're serious of what you are saying why can't you tell white people to leave the country cz you know exactly their from Europe or respectively you worshipping them at some point you need to be educated about African history
Hey you never ask that question to your former oppressors why asking the people from Africa. European racist are all over south Africa and choose not tell them to leave our beloved Azania in order for our brothers and sisters to come here.
If All African leaders were doing good to their citizens people would not be forced to go to SA for supposed greener pastures. Fact of the matter is that no country in the world can afford an uncontrolled and consistent influx of people, it will put strain on the countries resources while other so called leaders of Africa go to Europe and other countries for mere medical attention!! South Africa looks progressing, Amaandla!
If you come to Africa you will see European,Chinese, Indians etc.no matter how good the economy of a county is some people still have to leave to make it.
I don't see those dumb cocksuckers going after other foreign companies and individuals from the west who take billions from south african each year nor have l ever seen successful foreigners being killed in other countries. You're full of shit, the whole country is corrupt and deserves to go to hell in a handbasket. The authorities are incompetent, misinformed and useless as fuck. This is something that can be sorted out with proper management, not letting your citizen burn enterprising individuals without any repercussions after the fact cause the entire fucken nation and everyone is in on it. Last time l checked s.a is a capitalist society, meaning that the most competitive, capable and productive individuals rise to the top and not get killed for it. If you don't fellow Africans succeeding in your country (cause you seem to prefer everyone else doing so) then put measures that make it difficult for them to come in and establish businesses or other ventures before they come to s.a and not kill them. FuX'N dumbasses.
Xenophobic acts on Nigerians and Africans abroad is a global issue, South African, Ghana, Dubai, Libya have consistently carried out this act on Nigerians ... I think the only way to resolve this is to create a great Nigeria where jobs, infrastructure, health, education, agriculture, and security are made available to everyone.
Ben Nartey this comment is straight facts. Nigerians have been cashing serious problems here in South Africa. They be doing criminal deeds and they think they run the show for whateva reason.
@@zainatrish1531 Unfortunately we Africans are shying away from that. We tend to protect or keeping our useless leaders in power but its easy for us to shift blame to other people. Its about time we demand good governance from our so called leaders without shame.

The problem is that we need to fix Nigeria. Madam: Nigerians do not dominate Dubai. Nigerian government officials do steal Nigerian money to stash in Dubai.
I am sorry, you need to take emotion out of it and think.. SA is not benefiting on Illegal immigrants that don't pay tax... That does not help the SA economy. No one seems to speak of the drug dealers and sex traffickers in SA that are Nigerian? Nigeria alone did not help SA politically... and mind you, the Nigerians in SA Illegally are not prisoners of freedom, they are not here under political asylum... You cannot compare the two. SA goverment has failed it's people and foreigners as a whole by leaving these attacks for years... There is always a wave of violance and nothing is being done. My solution is simple... ILLEGALS need to be taken back home and brought back with correct papers. They need to come and pay tax and not just take take take.... Nothing wrong with foreigners, I am one myself, but there are ways of doing things. Nigerians are fighting to sell tomatoes and drugs in SA, they are not politcal prisoners so to use Mandels is stupid... COME ON!!!! TYa'll love making things bigger then they are. And please don't speak about Dubai... Firstly there are no illegals there. Every business in Dubai owned by a foreigner has a native of Dubai own the majority shares... So do your research before you speak out the side of your neck. You litrally want SA to just open it's gates and allow people who are not bettering the country in...????? WHY DON"T YOU SPEAK OF THE CRIMES, the drugs, killings Nigerians get upto? To be honest it is an emotional situation... And both sides need to be heard. No one shoudl die at the hands of nobody. South Africa fix your boarders and home affairs and clean the country of illegals. Allow people in who will better the country, who are eduacted. You can't come all the way from Nigeria to sell tomatoes or drugs here please! We want doctors, architects, lawyers... not drug dealers and sex traffickers.
Neo Fowler i totally agree with you Eben though I am a west African like Nigerian. The fact is that almost every country has issues with Nigerians on their soil. When one blames the mousse, one should also spread the blame to the rotten fish that attracted the mousse to it in the first place.

@@didjax3574 I agree and aware of that aspect. The xenophobia has it's roots in the criminality like the various criminal organisation that entered South Africa after apartheid. But most people will not acknowledge that as it suggests a deeper problem not just with South Africa but Africa as a whole. It's a sad situation but people need to understand the roots of all this.
I have noticed that there's no proper journalism in this country. Just public speakers going rampant on national TV misleading their fellow countrymen. What a careless society.
They all want to unite in South Africa my question is when are they gonna build their own countries South Africa is for South Africans that will always remain arguing about staying in South Africa won't change anything fix your countries yes we are brothers and sisters but that does not mean we should not have borders and have the whole African continent in south africa
We do not condone violence but we want a better country for our kids.Which other African country has foreigners like we have in SA? To be helped during struggle times ? Does that mean we owe these people they can do as they pliz in our country?Why are our borders so porous?
I am a South African, I came here to see what is the view on what is happening in our country. Our doors were open after the first elections to our Africa brothers the problem produced by it was some people came with bad intentions, drug's, fraud human trafficking and I'm from Durban you go to the point,north beach the city has decayed buildings ran down by over crowding and high jacked by illigal migrants. It is huge problem, but by that I do not condone violence
if your claim is right, then it's only logical for the institutionalized government authorities to do the needful, arrest the perpetrators, and don't tag them because crime peddlers have no country. It is not up to the citizenry to engage the perpetrators. When the citizens of any country begin to take laws into there hands, it means the system is failing , the system is failing and sooner or later when the "Nigerians" are kicked out, it will be you, yourselves that will be perpetrators of these crimes. moreover if the environment is not conducive for crimes to foster, nobody will be involved in crime. The people we all saw on TV look hungry and lack the basic necessities of life. Its high time your government look seriously into the provision basic skill education where much of brain work is not needed e.g carpentry, metals works etc and provision of social welfare for her people especially fixed basic income for those that don't have a job or can't work and medical insurance; if not, this will continue and sooner or later you will realize that you have been attacking the wrong problem

Your videos are all over the net looting, stealing and burning... but I'm surprised that YOU people have been talking about drugs all day while ignoring the horrible rape and murder you commit daily. Drug sellers are there obviously because you are buying. Even the United States has never been able to prevent supply as long as there are buyers.
Nigerians are not the only hungry and ambitious Africans. I have seen Ghanaians, Sudanese, Cameroonians, and others work hard and build. Black Americans are ambitious and succeed. There is a difference between ambition, and trying to sabotage, sell out, and under cut other Black people for others because you want to be seen as the top Black African community.
I just feel at the end of the day, for whatever African countries did for liberation of South Africa expect us to pay forever. Africa is rich enough to provide for itself. The failure of the leaders has resulted in people resorting in going to South Africa for a better life. Leaders of dysfunctional countries should be equally held accountable for failure to make a situation bearable for their countrymen to stay in. It is also not practical for citizens of the entire continent to congregate in a one small country. Having said that , I am ashamed at what my countrymen are doing to the fellow Africans.
@Bheko Nene . You blame Nigerians to be drug Lords and then attack all foreigners. Does that even make sense? Of course it doesn't. South Africa has a failed system and instead of them to address their drug problems, they are killing their micro economy, destroying the few enterprises that employ their very poor and think they are fighting Nigerians?

That is very desrispectful when some don't even have permits to be in South Africa. The communities decided to take matters into their own hands.
Quite an old video, but I'll leave my comment none the less. My opinion on the matter: South Africans are not Xenophobic, We co-exist peacefully with every nationality under the sun, South Africa is a very diverse nation, check the statistics, you can almost find every African nationality in South Africa, living and working here. Like every other nation, South Africa is facing its own problems like Crime, Poverty, Inequality, legacies of apartheid, Corruption. Gender based violence to name a few. I'll speak for myself, I'm open to anybody from anywhere moving to South Africa, if they are coming to uplift south africa and make it better, even better if it's a fellow African, but please be respectful of our people, laws and cultures. I'm for a United Africa. All of us working together for the upliftment of this continent. The problem is, many of the people who have unfortunately been termed "Foreigners": 1) are in the country illegally: (This has a knock on effect, due to being illegal, you are prey to corrupt police officials and criminals, who know you can't go to the police because you are illegal yourself. / You are also exploited by unscrupulous employers /people who will pay you below the countries mandated minimum wage because you have no formal recourse structures. By being illegal in the country, you live on the outskirts and fringes of mainstream society where the majority of the countries socail ills take place (My advice, if you want to come to South Africa, please follow the necessary guidelines and get the proper documentation to be here.) 2) have no special skills or education that differentiate them from the everyday working class South African who is also struggling to make ends meet. (South Africa has one of the world's highest youth unemployment rate) This causes conflict between the working class as you are competing for the same scarce opportunities. /This is why we have an immigration department, everybody who seeks to live/work in SA, is scrutinized and granted access based on what skills they can bring to the economy based on the countries needs to avoid such conflicts. (Like every other country, South Africa provides services to its people based off tax revenues, it has a budget for service delivery and infrastructure that it is already behind on due to tougher economic climate, now factor in hundreds of thousands if not millions of undocumented migrants who also have to share the slice of that small pie. The xenophobic attacks you see or hear about occur at the frontlines of poverty. There is a misconception that because of all the modern infrastructure people see, it means all South Africans are rich and living well, that's not the case, there is still alot of poverty in SA, it's a situation of the desperate fighting the desperate, I think the government can do more here and us as regular people can support Non profits and other Socail organistaions to bring harmony In this space . 3) This is the one that make most people's blood boil in my view: Crime. I'll direct this one to my Nigerian and Zimbabwean brothers and sisters. Why? Because for the 33 years of my existence in South Africa, I've never heard of a South African complain about a Ghanaian, Senegalese, Congolese, Malawian etc, it's always the same two nationalities. The reason for that is crime. South Africa itself is a high crime country, and we are fighting hard to change that, so imagine the outrage from locals when people who leave their own countries to come commit serios crime here. The majority of Nigerian and Zimbabwean nationals in South Africa are a blessing, hardworking , respectful, intelligent and enterprising people, who add to their communities. Some are great teachers lecturers, business people, Academics. (BUT ALL OF THAT IS UNDONE BY THE ACTIONS OF A FEW) And if we are talking frankly, this is the case everywhere, I don't think there's a visa that gets declined more than the Nigerian visa. This is because a small group of mostly young men are causing havoc wherever they go, they ruin the reputation of the good people of Nigeria by being involved in Scamming/Drugs/ prostitution. Like most Africans, South Africa is a very family orientated society, Drugs are sold to children, Prostitution of young girls as young as 13 by Nigerians, they are known for it in South Africa. The image of Nigeria in South Africa is not a good one and not enough is being done to highlight that the people doing these crimes are only a very small proportion of Nigerian society. The question of this discussion should rather be, how does Nigeria ensure that they are being well represented by their people outside of Nigeria. Again, South Africans are not xenophobic, we are facing new problems that we have to adapt to, violence is never the answer, and it's problems we must face together as Africans Much love to you and yours
It was wrong to fight but still if south Africa business are dominating in Nigeria, that did that legal unlike our brothers here who kidnap, kill, sell drugs and take over cities. the fight was started by our brothers because they didn't want to be told that, what they are doing its wrong. Being aggressive on news won't solve this
Don't be bias good people, for instance there is a Nigerian drug dealer who shot and killed a South African taxi diver just because he condemned him of selling drugs to young South African school children and this has been happening for many years by the way and I'm not mentioning the Prostitution institutions which are being are runned by Nigerian citezens.
If there was a drug case with Nigerian , why they went to loot shops of Somalian ,Ethiopian , Bengali , Pakistani and other foreign nationals .Were they also selling drug ?
@@mbakunkasa3784 Those ones sell fake food and steal our businesses. This is big my brother it also involves Economics. immigration and poverty. Thats what I can tell you for now and plz stop asking me lousy questions which you do know and have answers for it.
In Somalian plaza shop they looted , most goods are manufactured in South Africa.If you tell me , they sell fake goods , that means you manufacture fake goods in south Africa.
@@mbakunkasa3784 You know what I'm talking about don't you act as if you don't know some of you guys sold fake and oudated food. Yeah I do feel for some cause you were doing legit businesses but our contry is in huge turmoil. We need to rebuilt it without you. So please leave us alone and go back to your own countries. Coz we are also facing lots of problems.
This might not be helpful but, I’ll say it just for clarity. When they said they’re tired of Nigerians, they didn’t mean all Nigerians, they meant the drug dealers that sells drugs to kids and disguises as shops. They must learn to be specific. All this mess started because of a Drug dealer that shot the taxi driver who was stop him from selling drugs to school kids, and the very same police refused to arrest him. And then the taxi owners took the law into their own hands and started targeting all Nigerian drug dealers owning shops. Now the whole thing is out of control. Xenophobia is unacceptable. South Africans loves Nigerians, that’s why they would even go to a Nigerian Pastor led church than their own.
I as an Indian South African, support all Africans. We need to fight back and defend our Fellow DRC, Somalian, Malawian, Egyptian, Nigerian, Jamaican, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Indian and all other foreign National brothers and sisters. Its wrong when I know people who come here, make a honest living and make jobs for other black South Africans
They all need to go...I see here in Durban local Indians go the extra mile to protect foreigners from their ancestral homes...that is wrong...they are not citizens of this country and they must go home like all the rest...everyone must go...no exceptions for baai cos he is from India or Bangladesh...and the issue of child rape amongst them towards our little ones is gonna get baai hurt
@@marcelhaines7712 White South Africans, Indian South Africans and the stupid EFF are all ganging up against poor black South Africans fighting them for their crumbs in their own country forcing their stay in the name of forced integration and Pan-Africanism. All this ungrateful creatures should leave SA
good people we are talking about people who leave their countries to participate in illegitimate/illegal businesses or means of income we are not talking about law abiding foreigners
Also South Africans should stop buying drugs. it is a 2 way process. Our people must stop buying FULLSTOP. Dont blame the seller, say NO to the product and they will move elsewhere. Lastly the number of Nigerians who sell drugs is exaggerated. We have a lot of South Africans who also sell drugs, Talk of places like Bedfordview where the real drug crimes happen! Do your research before you talk.
@@theadvocate78 It is not a two way street. Drugs have to be dealt with at the source and distribution not at the end user otherwise the battle wont be won. Just look at americas "war on drugs". The sellers need to be dealt with as they are giving nigerians a bad name in South Africa
No very successful business cannot exist without a huge market... Don't buy the drugs The funny thing you guys are magnanimously lazy to sell the drugs your self Talking about taking over your country by foreigners....it is only a weak a metal that can be subject superlative malleability ...how dare any foreigners dominate Nigeria.... You guys are just soo lazy
I don't think the fight shouldn't be against people's lives but against criminality cause the honest truth is some of them are innocent but some of them really do sell drugs.
@@tommy_egan I get that part but on the other hand we should not ignore the principles of demand and supply. As long as they is demand the supply will also go up. The demand in SA is on the top list in Africa generally and that needs to be addressed. Crime in SA is also on the top list, rape, abuse of women perpetrated by South African men. Let us admit our own problems before pointing fingers.
U dont dare take the life of an America citizen in other countries hence wait for her government. My questions is what is the government doing about it other than make empty noises.
I am a white South African and I couldn't agree more, you can't blame the next person for your problems, our underprivileged youth turns to violence rather than education. All our educated south Africans are leaving due to the crime and unemployment rate, our people want to rely on the ANC for creating a better South Africa for all, which nothing has been done and our economy plummeted since aparteid, my youth that I surround myself with are over the racism factor. If our government lifts the Black Economic Empowerment law, the most skilled people across the world will come back and educate the youth for sustainable careers and growth. The approach our people has taken is totally unacceptable we should not be a violent nation it only causes catastrophic failures as a result.
As a South African, I wouldn't like to move to any country to earn a living. I am opposed to foreigners doing small scale business in my country when they are not being taxed. Let alone those that operate drug dens and brothels exploiting South Africans. If the Nigerians feel that South Africa owes them for the fight against Apartheid, they are mistaken because we South Africans fought our own battles and won. They must also fight theirs in Nigeria and win.
The average white South African, will do anything to its a black government , we know that. You have shown it in more ways than one, so your comment does not surprise me.
@@PhutiS3960 yea, yea.. just like most of your people don't know about their brothers who are rapists to the bone. Or isn't that how it works? Generalization is what lazy brains do.
YES, I AM ABOUT TO RANT. The Xenophobia issue is being blamed on South Africa when in fact it's a failure of the AFRICAN UNION. For over 50 years its been up to like 6 African countries (Botswana , Ivory Coast, Kenya & South Africa) to carry the rest in terms of mostly ILLEGAL immigrants. Allowing in Refugees like those from hotzones like Eastern Congo is understandable but it also speaks volumes about Africa's inability to resolve conflict and fix poor leadership. The " come 1 come all" policy of the A.U. is a problem. The EU after the lessons of Hitler still doesnt allow just any country to join - a European country must meet certain economic and political criteria before joining. Aside from warzone refugees & DOCUMENTED + vital skilled labour .... no country, especially one recovering from Apartheid & AIDS & also HAVING ITS OWN MASSIVE PROBLEMS, can allow illegal immigration esp by the millions. The mob violence is wrong but South Africa should take up issue with the African Union & take legal action against illegals Why does post 1994 South Africa tip- toe around the fact that with all it's problems & shrinking economy- it's still the great power in Africa? How did SA go from owning nukes to feeling it has to carry AN ENTIRE CONTINENT?
@@bongaziqubu902 your confused. People in south africa kill anyone they can if they can make up a reason. Hate is rife because they are responsible for everything they are, and so they look for someone else to blame
We must love one another.... Are there South Africans selling drugs in your country? Some Nigerians offers us good services here especially in Salons and Internet services... They are lovely... All of you are failing to address the issue of drugs why? Addressing this with hatred and ignorance will not help any of us... Drugs and prostitution...
Nigeria is richer than South Africa if it were not for corruption, why not Nigerians build their own country, I don't support the killings at, but if a person does not like you, why are you there??? Build your own business in Nigeria, is not a force to be in someone's house.
I think they need to freeze entry for everyone this means Americans going into other countries as well. People need to stay their asses in their own countries for a long while and build their own people up because it’s causing too much contention (at least for awhile).
During the medieval ages Europeans and Asians went through a genetic selection process. These Africans are still living in the dark ages, and it won’t change and a couple generations, will probably take a couple hundred years
I am one of the people in South Africa who would love for us as Aficans to work together, to unite and rise as black people. The system is making us turn agains each other as black people, lets not forget that we are making those who hate us as black people very happy
Nigerians should leave South Africa with immediate effect...Their drugs and muti are too much we believe in God and they are ruining that. False prophets are investment in South Africa? Wow
I think it’s high time our government makes our country habitable. This is the only reason why we leave in our thousands and millions to countries where we are not wanted. No electricity, no good roads, no infrastructure especially in the east. We need to make changes here. We have the resources. This basic amenities will encourage people to stay and invest here. What is happening in South Africa is really awful. The earlier we curb our problems in Nigeria by making this place more attractive for local and foreign investors the better for us.
Only the lady in a yellowish attire brings logic and intelligence into the discussion. The least said about the arab african dresser the better. Facts are : Nigerians must safely go back home and South Africans must safely also go back home. If there are business dealings then only employees/ human resources from that country must enjoy job opportunities. Don't move business and human resource to a country. Human resources must only be for scarce skills. Let us deal with corruption and poor governance in our respective countries then our African people will be protected from wondering throughout the world. Basic logic
As u said this is public tv, you cannot call for reciprocal action. But the thing is our government are inactive and useless. I live abroad but racism is hidden not open like this.

I am a South African and very concerned about latest developments in our Country. My friend was treated by a Nigerian Doctor in JHB General Hospital a couple of years back, Our Family doctor is a Nigerian, He assisted my mother in Johannesburg when a local village medical doctor misdiagnosed her(I am in tears), I purchased my wedding suit from a Nigerian friend of mine including a Nigerian Traditional Suit as well, My wife's wedding gown was done by a Malawian, the list is endless. My sisters, I repent on behalf of all the bad that is being perpetuated to your fellow countrymen... It is not inhumane. Yes, there are those doing Very Bad things and the Law need to take its course, not the riots happening!
Moses, no need to grandstand, you know that 90% plus of any drug value chain there is a Nigerian. Habits we did not have, there was a little bit of Mandrax in Durban and Cpt in the 80's but that was limited to the Indian and Colored communities look at the situation now. Are you serious when you say what you said, the brothels, the chop shops taking people for a ride, Look at Hillbrow, look at Youville, Durban South Beach ... can you not see the pattern
Imagine basing your show on an old video of a fired commissioner because some1 could not take 1 minute to confirm who the commissioner is. Useless, sme1 did not do their job.
It will be interesting to here the views of the panel to the show, after a reality program ein South Africa which is profiling drug problem around the country. Many of the Nigerian nationals have since been arrested after being found with drugs intending to sell to young people destroying the future of South Africa.
He is not joking i have europeans who treat me like their sister my German landlady sais she Would Like us to Live like a Familie,i am proudly Nigeria and infact am amazed by the kindness of many folks here
Most of my lectures were Nigerians who taught me well beside I truly love Nigeria for being the country of most men of God originated. This is from my Ethiopian perspective.
The point is Nigerians must behave well in RSA. How about the taxi driver that has been killed by a foreigner? Fake foreign Pastors, human trafficking, drugs etc. We r tired. Everyone is crying about Nigerians. U r always saying u have helped South Africa during apartheid. We did not sell drugs in ur country, we did not do crime in that country. All African nationals must go home except those who have right papers to be in South Africa.
We are all Africans. Who else is going to support each other but our own. Who else is going be able to understand the problems and come up with solutions to our problems but our own. We shouldn’t fight amongst each other but use each other as resources to make our continent better. Instead of fighting we can help each other to become better.
I do not condone xenophobia or any other kind of unprovoked violence towards another human being irrelevant of race,colour or creed. What is happening in S.A is shameful. However I have realized how the Nigerian debates tend to avoid the fact that Nigerians dominate in drug dealing, human trafficking, prostitution and scamming the world over. This affects other Africans. P.S I am not a South African
It looks like you are misinformed about dominating, it's like they are the captains of industry who bring value, they dominate through thugish way, illegal activities, not necessary through business and adding value. Nigeria proud itself as the country with the biggest economy in Africa, why does it fail to provide for it's citizens, why do many Nigerians feel the need to make living in other countries. There are very little Kenyan immigrant in South Africa for example.
@@tanumzalendo1567 I do not advocate for any people to be beaten or have their property destroyed. But I do appeal to the Nigerians to look at themselves, and realize that there is an element in some of their countrymen which seek to exploit and cause harm to the people who host them. They pride themselves of being successful in the countries they go to, but that success comes at a huge cost to the people who host them, that cannot be right.

I Had A Happy Childhood In Nigeria. I Will Always Be Grateful For Nigeria Did For The Liberation Of Southern Africa. In Case Nobody Has Said It I Wish To Say THANK YOU NIGERIA For Taking Care Of My Mom My Dad And Me And My Brother And Sister. Your Country Was There For Us When We Had No Where Else To Go.

I do Not recall any help - However Nigerian politicians in the 1960's SCAMMED their people and School kids by COLLECTING MONEY and saying the Money is for ANC. How on earth do you send a - NIGERIAN- to COLLECT MONEY on your behalf.
NIGERIA didn't help south Africa, they helped ANC and ANC is not south Africa
You can't go to another man's house, disrespect his laws, usurp leadership and expect them to surrender their house, that is what they're doing and no-one can accept that. There are places in SA where they don't allow local people to go into, and yet it is their country, that is unacceptable.
Shame on you people
So they should be unalive by your xenophobic minded citizens
Google, how many countries has a visa free policy with Nigeria? Google again, how many countries has a visa on arrival policy with Nigeria? Why so little number has such agreements with Nigeria? Those with such agreements with Nigeria seem to be less doing countries economically. Why is that? Just ask your self why many countries has a problem with Nigerians? There must be something wrong with them! That is so obvious!
As a Black American woman, I will say that Nigerians are not the only hard-working people on the Continent. I have met Liberians, Senegalese, Ghanaians, South Sudanese, Cameroonians, and others who are highly motivated, determined, and work exceptionally hard. What I have experienced is hatefulness, rudeness, and nastiness, from too many Nigerians (especially women), who get hateful when they find out that I am Black American, and try to engage in sabotage and throwing me under the bus for non-African communities because they think my presence is a threat to them being seen as the best in Africa. It doesn't matter how I have reached out to them, or tried to connect in a healthy way. I have had Nigerian women performing Black American music, and getting a nasty attitude or even ignoring me, when they see me, as if they don't have to acknowledge a woman in her own culture. Now, Igbo women are wonderful and beautiful. They have always been kind to me. There were 2 Muslim Yoruba women, who were kind to me. I have had a few other loving, Nigerian women, from smaller groups, as well. When you enter into someone's country or cultural spacing, you acknowledge them, respect them, and see how you can build healthy alliances with them. You don't come in with arrogant, hateful, vain mentalities, and spit on the very people whose existence made it possible for you to even have opportunities to do business in that country. Truth be told, Nigerians (and others) have a horrible reputation of being disrespectful towards Black Americans, when they come to the US. Don't care about how we made it possible for them to have opportunities in the US, don't know our her/history, our national and international contributions, call us "lazy," though we work overtly hard, don't care to know about our her/history and culture, and look down on us, despite the fact that many Nigerian businesses are in Black American neighborhoods, where they thrive, and are able to send money back home to Nigeria. Coming in to "take over," an want to "erase" Black America's presence. There are exceptions to the rule, of course. But, it's time that Nigeria look at behaviors performed by Nigerians when they travel out. Many people are not "jealous" of you because of your success. It's the behavior and aura, more than anything. I'm come from a strong, successful culture, myself. I proud of being Black American. Very proud. Yet, I don't have to look down on anyone else, who isn't.
As a fellow black american woman, I say you explained it beautifully. Though I also would like to say Nigerians disrepect the blacks of every community in various countries. They are also very rude and arrogant towards british Caribbeans, Bahamians ect and of course South Africans. They have a bad reputation all over for their terrible attitudes. I personally can't stomach these insufferable people.
Sometimes I wonder why they like to call people lazy in their own Countries, while their nature is defrauding citizens of other countries who are working very hard for their money, they're own hard work is selling drugs, ritual money, trafficking human being etc... This is shameful!
The reasons you've stated here are why they are not welcome in most places, they are unruly and disrespectful. How is possible to disliked everywhere you go and you are not in some way the problem.....If they were so great, that would be reflected in theyre own country, but even the brilliant Nigerians all over the world (and there are so many)....are not based in theyre country and that should tell you something.

1. Bringing drugs in South Africa
2. Trafficking women and Children
3. Corruption and Fraud
4. Using fake money
5. Hijacking empty buildings in South Africa and begin renting them to other Nigerians.
6. Coming to South Africa illegally.
As South Africans we welcome everyone who comes to South Africa legally. And we do not want people who are not skilled. If you are a foreigner you must be coming here to do business and uplift us.

What is the role of your police force, if arrest any criminal in your country judge him according to his crime but you guys should stop painting a whole nation because of few people crime.
1.South Africans produce drugs in south Africa.
2.They distribute to their children because their parents are also drug addicts and do not teach their children good morals
3. Their badly trained youths go about raping children and women, they kill their victims at will without any consideration.
4 south Africans are so lazy that they become jealous and envious of any nationals who came to their country to work hard hence xenophobic mentality and attack.
4. South Africa's home affairs and citizens are so corrupt that they started selling their ID and blaming others.
They sell drugs to their citizens and some of their ministers are very corrupt yet they stereotype other countries of being corrupt, hypocrisy, I must say.
5. Their corrupt government sells housing estates to rich Nigeria investors and lie to their uneducated citizens that the houses were hijacked and rented to south Africans. Shallow minded and the ignoramus black South Africans will not have the intelligence to query their government instead they attack the business man. Illiteracy is indeed a disease.
6. For your information, there are many south Africans in Nigeria doing illegal business and even the ones doing the legal business always like to evade tax until they were caught and they will start begging, they will even call their president to come to Nigeria to beg. Nigeria will never stereotype them because we understand that Criminality is an individual thing despite the fact that south Africa is the number 3 criminal hot spot in the world. Check your Google for verification.
Most Africans including Nigerians cannot even tolerate their fellow countrymen of different tribal origins. But they will be shouting that people are one Africa and should go to another African country for whatever they like, even undocumented. Human nature is very hypocritical.
Did Germany tolerate Poland ,UK or Russia ? Say something sensible ,next time
The big question must be why do you feel the need to leave your own country? You can't blame South Africans for mistreating Nigerians, you must blame your own government for not providing you the resources you need thus causing you to leave Nigeria. Your government has thrown in the towel and made South African government to adopt Nigerians.
If you're serious of what you are saying why can't you tell white people to leave the country cz you know exactly their from Europe or respectively you worshipping them at some point you need to be educated about African history

You're full of shit, the whole country is corrupt and deserves to go to hell in a handbasket. The authorities are incompetent, misinformed and useless as fuck.

I am sorry, you need to take emotion out of it and think.. SA is not benefiting on Illegal immigrants that don't pay tax... That does not help the SA economy. No one seems to speak of the drug dealers and sex traffickers in SA that are Nigerian? Nigeria alone did not help SA politically... and mind you, the Nigerians in SA Illegally are not prisoners of freedom, they are not here under political asylum... You cannot compare the two. SA goverment has failed it's people and foreigners as a whole by leaving these attacks for years... There is always a wave of violance and nothing is being done. My solution is simple... ILLEGALS need to be taken back home and brought back with correct papers. They need to come and pay tax and not just take take take.... Nothing wrong with foreigners, I am one myself, but there are ways of doing things. Nigerians are fighting to sell tomatoes and drugs in SA, they are not politcal prisoners so to use Mandels is stupid... COME ON!!!! TYa'll love making things bigger then they are. And please don't speak about Dubai... Firstly there are no illegals there. Every business in Dubai owned by a foreigner has a native of Dubai own the majority shares...

Our doors were open after the first elections to our Africa brothers the problem produced by it was some people came with bad intentions, drug's, fraud human trafficking and I'm from Durban you go to the point,north beach the city has decayed buildings ran down by over crowding and high jacked by illigal migrants. It is huge problem, but by that I do not condone violence
if your claim is right, then it's only logical for the institutionalized government authorities to do the needful, arrest the perpetrators, and don't tag them because crime peddlers have no country. It is not up to the citizenry to engage the perpetrators. When the citizens of any country begin to take laws into there hands, it means the system is failing , the system is failing and sooner or later when the "Nigerians" are kicked out, it will be you, yourselves that will be perpetrators of these crimes. moreover if the environment is not conducive for crimes to foster, nobody will be involved in crime. The people we all saw on TV look hungry and lack the basic necessities of life. Its high time your government look seriously into the provision basic skill education where much of brain work is not needed e.g carpentry, metals works etc and provision of social welfare for her people especially fixed basic income for those that don't have a job or can't work and medical insurance; if not, this will continue and sooner or later you will realize that you have been attacking the wrong problem

Your videos are all over the net looting, stealing and burning... but I'm surprised that YOU people have been talking about drugs all day while ignoring the horrible rape and murder you commit daily. Drug sellers are there obviously because you are buying. Even the United States has never been able to prevent supply as long as there are buyers.
Nigerians are not the only hungry and ambitious Africans. I have seen Ghanaians, Sudanese, Cameroonians, and others work hard and build. Black Americans are ambitious and succeed. There is a difference between ambition, and trying to sabotage, sell out, and under cut other Black people for others because you want to be seen as the top Black African community.
They must go home.no debate those things must go home
I just feel at the end of the day, for whatever African countries did for liberation of South Africa expect us to pay forever. Africa is rich enough to provide for itself. The failure of the leaders has resulted in people resorting in going to South Africa for a better life. Leaders of dysfunctional countries should be equally held accountable for failure to make a situation bearable for their countrymen to stay in. It is also not practical for citizens of the entire continent to congregate in a one small country. Having said that , I am ashamed at what my countrymen are doing to the fellow Africans.
I am Against the selling of drugs by Nigerians in Hillbrow.
Don't buy any. Simple solution.

@Bheko Nene . You blame Nigerians to be drug Lords and then attack all foreigners. Does that even make sense? Of course it doesn't. South Africa has a failed system and instead of them to address their drug problems, they are killing their micro economy, destroying the few enterprises that employ their very poor and think they are fighting Nigerians?

We are good at window dressing issues without getting to the root, the question here is, what is it that South Africa has that Nigeria don't have?

Or we deceiving ourselves, to think all is well. We all know the answer I don't need to tell you but I will tell you anyway, Nigeria as it is now is not working for the vast majority of the population, the microscopic few who occupy the political space for them everything is fine if you don't agree you can go and burn the sea. Majority of the people are quiet and suffering and living in abject poverty and the bold ones who are advocating for a better Nigeria are been tagged as enemy of the state, terrorist, and so on and so forth.

Do proper research before fueling something bad
Report on how this sting started. The police were doing a raid in the city and some of the foreigners fought back against the South African Police Service. That is very desrispectful when some don't even have permits to be in South Africa. The communities decided to take matters into their own hands.
Quite an old video, but I'll leave my comment none the less.
My opinion on the matter:
South Africans are not Xenophobic, We co-exist peacefully with every nationality under the sun, South Africa is a very diverse nation, check the statistics, you can almost find every African nationality in South Africa, living and working here.
Like every other nation, South Africa is facing its own problems like Crime, Poverty, Inequality, legacies of apartheid, Corruption. Gender based violence to name a few.
I'll speak for myself, I'm open to anybody from anywhere moving to South Africa, if they are coming to uplift south africa and make it better, even better if it's a fellow African, but please be respectful of our people, laws and cultures. I'm for a United Africa. All of us working together for the upliftment of this continent.
The problem is, many of the people who have unfortunately been termed "Foreigners":
1) are in the country illegally:
(This has a knock on effect, due to being illegal, you are prey to corrupt police officials and criminals, who know you can't go to the police because you are illegal yourself. / You are also exploited by unscrupulous employers /people who will pay you below the countries mandated minimum wage because you have no formal recourse structures.
By being illegal in the country, you live on the outskirts and fringes of mainstream society where the majority of the countries socail ills take place
(My advice, if you want to come to South Africa, please follow the necessary guidelines and get the proper documentation to be here.)
2) have no special skills or education that differentiate them from the everyday working class South African who is also struggling to make ends meet. (South Africa has one of the world's highest youth unemployment rate) This causes conflict between the working class as you are competing for the same scarce opportunities. /This is why we have an immigration department, everybody who seeks to live/work in SA, is scrutinized and granted access based on what skills they can bring to the economy based on the countries needs to avoid such conflicts. (Like every other country, South Africa provides services to its people based off tax revenues, it has a budget for service delivery and infrastructure that it is already behind on due to tougher economic climate, now factor in hundreds of thousands if not millions of undocumented migrants who also have to share the slice of that small pie. The xenophobic attacks you see or hear about occur at the frontlines of poverty. There is a misconception that because of all the modern infrastructure people see, it means all South Africans are rich and living well, that's not the case, there is still alot of poverty in SA, it's a situation of the desperate fighting the desperate, I think the government can do more here and us as regular people can support Non profits and other Socail organistaions to bring harmony In this space .
3) This is the one that make most people's blood boil in my view:
Crime.
I'll direct this one to my Nigerian and Zimbabwean brothers and sisters. Why? Because for the 33 years of my existence in South Africa, I've never heard of a South African complain about a Ghanaian, Senegalese, Congolese, Malawian etc, it's always the same two nationalities. The reason for that is crime.
South Africa itself is a high crime country, and we are fighting hard to change that, so imagine the outrage from locals when people who leave their own countries to come commit serios crime here.
The majority of Nigerian and Zimbabwean nationals in South Africa are a blessing, hardworking , respectful, intelligent and enterprising people, who add to their communities. Some are great teachers lecturers, business people, Academics. (BUT ALL OF THAT IS UNDONE BY THE ACTIONS OF A FEW)
And if we are talking frankly, this is the case everywhere, I don't think there's a visa that gets declined more than the Nigerian visa. This is because a small group of mostly young men are causing havoc wherever they go, they ruin the reputation of the good people of Nigeria by being involved in Scamming/Drugs/ prostitution.
Like most Africans, South Africa is a very family orientated society, Drugs are sold to children, Prostitution of young girls as young as 13 by Nigerians, they are known for it in South Africa. The image of Nigeria in South Africa is not a good one and not enough is being done to highlight that the people doing these crimes are only a very small proportion of Nigerian society.
The question of this discussion should rather be, how does Nigeria ensure that they are being well represented by their people outside of Nigeria.
Again, South Africans are not xenophobic, we are facing new problems that we have to adapt to, violence is never the answer, and it's problems we must face together as Africans
Much love to you and yours
It was wrong to fight but still if south Africa business are dominating in Nigeria, that did that legal unlike our brothers here who kidnap, kill, sell drugs and take over cities. the fight was started by our brothers because they didn't want to be told that, what they are doing its wrong. Being aggressive on news won't solve this
Don't be bias good people, for instance there is a Nigerian drug dealer who shot and killed a South African taxi diver just because he condemned him of selling drugs to young South African school children and this has been happening for many years by the way and I'm not mentioning the Prostitution institutions which are being are runned by Nigerian citezens.

This might not be helpful but, I’ll say it just for clarity. When they said they’re tired of Nigerians, they didn’t mean all Nigerians, they meant the drug dealers that sells drugs to kids and disguises as shops. They must learn to be specific.
All this mess started because of a Drug dealer that shot the taxi driver who was stop him from selling drugs to school kids, and the very same police refused to arrest him. And then the taxi owners took the law into their own hands and started targeting all Nigerian drug dealers owning shops.
Now the whole thing is out of control.
Xenophobia is unacceptable.
South Africans loves Nigerians, that’s why they would even go to a Nigerian Pastor led church than their own.

The approach our people has taken is totally unacceptable we should not be a violent nation it only causes catastrophic failures as a result.

The Xenophobia issue is being blamed on South Africa when in fact it's a failure of the AFRICAN UNION. For over 50 years its been up to like 6 African countries (Botswana , Ivory Coast, Kenya & South Africa) to carry the rest in terms of mostly ILLEGAL immigrants.
Allowing in Refugees like those from hotzones like Eastern Congo is understandable but it also speaks volumes about Africa's inability to resolve conflict and fix poor leadership.
The " come 1 come all" policy of the A.U. is a problem. The EU after the lessons of Hitler still doesnt allow just any country to join - a European country must meet certain economic and political criteria before joining.
Aside from warzone refugees & DOCUMENTED + vital skilled labour .... no country, especially one recovering from Apartheid & AIDS & also HAVING ITS OWN MASSIVE PROBLEMS, can allow illegal immigration esp by the millions. The mob violence is wrong but South Africa should take up issue with the African Union & take legal action against illegals

If there are business dealings then only employees/ human resources from that country must enjoy job opportunities. Don't move business and human resource to a country. Human resources must only be for scarce skills. Let us deal with corruption and poor governance in our respective countries then our African people will be protected from wondering throughout the world.
Basic logic
Why single out someone based on how they dress?? does that determine the way they speak?
Tell your people to behave when they here
Before Nigeria can complain of South Africa’s xenophobia, they should remember what they did to Ghanians in the 80s. “Ghana must go”, remember?
As u said this is public tv, you cannot call for reciprocal action. But the thing is our government are inactive and useless. I live abroad but racism is hidden not open like this. Black on black violence. I work as a nursing manager bcos of hard work not because somebody gave me the job on a platter of gold. Naija people are hardworking, dedicated, go all out for success. It is in their dna. Its not only in SA but all over the world. Naija is doing great things. But u dont become jealous and start to kill them because of that. But ladies. You guys are too much sha. I love your show.❤❤❤
A child died today because of drugs he bought from a Nigerian man... Is that what you call success????? The irony
I am a South African and very concerned about latest developments in our Country. My friend was treated by a Nigerian Doctor in JHB General Hospital a couple of years back, Our Family doctor is a Nigerian, He assisted my mother in Johannesburg when a local village medical doctor misdiagnosed her(I am in tears), I purchased my wedding suit from a Nigerian friend of mine including a Nigerian Traditional Suit as well, My wife's wedding gown was done by a Malawian, the list is endless. My sisters, I repent on behalf of all the bad that is being perpetuated to your fellow countrymen... It is not inhumane. Yes, there are those doing Very Bad things and the Law need to take its course, not the riots happening!
but that does not mean that south africans should shy away to the ones destroying their country
Moses, no need to grandstand, you know that 90% plus of any drug value chain there is a Nigerian. Habits we did not have, there was a little bit of Mandrax in Durban and Cpt in the 80's but that was limited to the Indian and Colored communities look at the situation now. Are you serious when you say what you said, the brothels, the chop shops taking people for a ride, Look at Hillbrow, look at Youville, Durban South Beach ... can you not see the pattern
@@menzimngadi1139you are so right Menzi
Imagine basing your show on an old video of a fired commissioner because some1 could not take 1 minute to confirm who the commissioner is. Useless, sme1 did not do their job.
It will be interesting to here the views of the panel to the show, after a reality program ein South Africa which is profiling drug problem around the country. Many of the Nigerian nationals have since been arrested after being found with drugs intending to sell to young people destroying the future of South Africa.
I don't think this people know who they are dealing with
They don't know yet and they will still get to know
Actual why are they debating about south africa
Shy do u take an old video, of someone who is not even a minister anymore
Nigerians go to Serbia ,go to Europe ,we will give you all support for your investments and we will welcome you like our Brothers.
Thanks so much
God bless you for your heart of love.
He is not joking i have europeans who treat me like their sister my German landlady sais she Would Like us to Live like a Familie,i am proudly Nigeria and infact am amazed by the kindness of many folks here
Most of my lectures were Nigerians who taught me well beside I truly love Nigeria for being the country of most men of God originated. This is from my Ethiopian perspective.
The point is Nigerians must behave well in RSA. How about the taxi driver that has been killed by a foreigner? Fake foreign Pastors, human trafficking, drugs etc. We r tired. Everyone is crying about Nigerians. U r always saying u have helped South Africa during apartheid. We did not sell drugs in ur country, we did not do crime in that country. All African nationals must go home except those who have right papers to be in South Africa.
Is it difficult for them to go back home in one piece instead of threatening with Boko Haram and fighting back.
We must look at what caused that
Nigeria politicians have to stop stealing masses wealth so that Nigeria can also move forward. This is disheartening for us Nigerians.
Those properties belongs to South Africans remember that
We are all Africans. Who else is going to support each other but our own. Who else is going be able to understand the problems and come up with solutions to our problems but our own. We shouldn’t fight amongst each other but use each other as resources to make our continent better. Instead of fighting we can help each other to become better.
I do not condone xenophobia or any other kind of unprovoked violence towards another human being irrelevant of race,colour or creed. What is happening in S.A is shameful. However I have realized how the Nigerian debates tend to avoid the fact that Nigerians dominate in drug dealing, human trafficking, prostitution and scamming the world over. This affects other Africans. P.S I am not a South African
A Kenyan I am, and South Africa should accept competition or empower their people to dominate.
Shine Nigeria
you are not help
It looks like you are misinformed about dominating, it's like they are the captains of industry who bring value, they dominate through thugish way, illegal activities, not necessary through business and adding value. Nigeria proud itself as the country with the biggest economy in Africa, why does it fail to provide for it's citizens, why do many Nigerians feel the need to make living in other countries. There are very little Kenyan immigrant in South Africa for example.

Nigerians are in Kenya too ! They’re making fortunes with their fake churches!
@@tanumzalendo1567 I do not advocate for any people to be beaten or have their property destroyed. But I do appeal to the Nigerians to look at themselves, and realize that there is an element in some of their countrymen which seek to exploit and cause harm to the people who host them. They pride themselves of being successful in the countries they go to, but that success comes at a huge cost to the people who host them, that cannot be right.
@@velibrown7904 It is funny how you people never have a problem with the Chinese and Indians who fuck you till it bleeds. I know they are successful in ALL African countries where they are settled in large numbers, selling you fake items including medicines. You bow for the Chinese but only ever raise sticks and cutlass against your brothers.
