Photos: See how Nigerians seek asyllum under harsh conditions in South Africa
Here are some photos and a video shot by Sahara TV that captures the
plight of Nigerian immigrants seeking asylum under harsh conditions in
Pretoria, South Africa. According to a South African immigration officer, about 1000 Nigerians besiege their office on a daily basis seeking asylum. See more photos and the video after the cut...
Blame our harsh economy and d distorted Nigeria believe dat enibody wu travels abroad don hammer is a shame dey can't comebk home bcuz of dis kind of thinking
Nigeria is one of the worst countries in the world, I'm about to also apply for asylum,I hope I get it,I am tired of this country and its wicked,heartless people
Some Nigerians are Complete Otundo. See the silver and gold all in the street of our dear country Nigeria, and you are all going out and be treated like monkeys.
I wish they will put hot dried pepper in all of your anus.... And over 80% of them are Igbos.
If this stupid fools can't make it in Nigeria how in the world will the make it in south Africa is not like the standard of living in South Africa is that far better than Nigeria. i don't blame them it's Nigerian government that is creating this embarrassment to Nigeria and when will Nigerians realize that South Africa hate Nigerians so much. you keep going to your enemy begging for opportunity what a very sad shame.
I pity poor Nigerians who go thru hell in oda countries just to make it in life.......hmmn, wen ll our hopeless country start giving hope to d hopeless?? Onlyy tym ll tell.
Na wetin eye dey find e go see. Nigeria is bad, corrupt, dirty etc but it is still your home. No one will treat you like a goat in your home. You guys can choose to stay and suffer or come back home and make something of your lives. Una go sell una papa property to apply for visa and buy air ticket, you leave your parents in tears and disappoint only to get treated like this..... Men this is bullshit.
This one nah small thing nah......come to oslo norway and see harsher conditions.....but once your asylum is granted,the wahala is TOTALY worth it........#thatEDOboyCORLEONE
What Are they looking for , Lazy bunch of mucus. if you are hard working and you know what you'll doing, you'll make it ;instead if going thru this stress.....#baby O'Dell#
Lord hv mercy! here they are rushing to Foreign Land ready to b a slave. n d stupid ones will b blaming Nig Govt for their inability to secure a Job or hv source of income!IF U KNOW UR VALUE,U WONT TAKE UR ESTIMATION FROM OTHER!
Asylum from what? or Deceitfully taking advantage of loopholes in the Asylum laws of South Africa.... Its Economic Asylum, too ashamed to come home with nothing, so "You cook up" some false persecution claims to get on the Public Welfare of South Africa.
Eyah. I feel for them buh wat I dnt understand is y can't they come bk home..I knw its not too safe here tho buh there is no place like home...see as dem be like lost goats
The question is, what are they doing in South Africa? Is it job? School? or what? If staying there doesn't pay you, its simple, come back home! Shikena! This is why South Africa keep doing shakara for Nigeria, because we are tarnishing our image with them, i bet they don't respect Nigerians out there cos of all this ... 70% of Nigerian youths there are into frauds, many in jail, some dead and yet they keep going there, despite the condition of Nigeria presently, i prefer being here! We cant run away from our homes!
Stupid,your mates are here struggling and even making it here,you are there disgracing the entire nation.Will SA government be feeding you free,giving you money without working ?
THEY FEEL SAFE AND SECURED THERE THAN LIVING IN THIS HELL OF A PLACE CALLED NIGERIA. SHAME ON YOU! NIGERIAN LEADERS. SEE WHAT YOUR CORRUPTIONS HAVE CAUSED!
Linda Pls if you can pass a message to the federal govt Pls tell them from a corper that NYSC is bullshit..Going to unnecessary stress for just N19800..our supervisors taking adv of their position to frustrate someone.. Either they scrap or increase our alllowee to N50000..
Why are Nigerians always disgracing themselves before their fellow Africans? Don't they know their worth anymore? We are giants of Africa for goodness sake..haba
Nigeria! country that has a govt...see how your children go and suffer in another man's land just to escape poverty! Even here in europe nigerians without papers work like slaves, but they will rather stay here regardless cos at least the work pays them..in nigeria its total brokeness...even gari is not affordable.
Our government and the politicians are to blame. But on deeper thought, is Nigeria so bad that all those people want to go and get asylum. They are not even helping themselves God will give our leaders the wisdom to take us to our "promised land" and Nigeria will also be a country where other nationals will want to run too for better welfare
When they were crying under apartheid we helped them, now they're too big to even treat their fellow Africans with respect. If not for the whites in their country they'll be 20 years behind Nigeria, like the rest of Africa.
And the Nigerians running there as if it's Eldorado or The Promised Land, why go somewhere where you're hated? That one is saying 'Nigerians like to travel' Nonsense. If not for desperation, why would any man allow himself to be treated like this?
Like....seriously, is it by fire, by force to live in that place? Can't you all just return to your home base and do something for yourselves? The depressing part of the whole issue is that these same guys and babes will not agree to be subjected to half of this humiliation back home, to get what they want. And they either end up there dead or botched up, leaving strings of bills for people at home. This is all for the sake of " I must belong with the clique of South guys " . Gosh!! I could just puke. I need to show a lil pity but my mind won't accept this self imposed humiliation.
heheheheeeeeee. wtf? must they stay in dat country? abeg i too proud to b put in dat kainda condition in anoda country kwa! come oh biko assylum for what sef are they seeking? political or what?
See the way they are treating dem like slaves. When them come to naija dey will be forming America niggas.....lol.....Igbos don't like staying in their country always moving around......Igbos are nomadic in nature!!!!!
They Should come home, with their misplaced priority, there are vast acres of land to farm on here.. There's money in Agric (D'banj de sell garri, who are they that they cannot do the same)...
What a pity....I weep for those people. They prefer the ill treatment rather than live free and honourably in your home country. This is running into slavery willingly....
ISH! What a shame ! And its these same hypocrites that will come on social media hailing corrupt leaders & suporting Mediocrity. Whatever happens to you in Bwanaland is your cup of tea. But please don't go into crime,South africans love Nigerians its only that we like putting it into their face that we are smarter than them which they dislike.
What is their reason for the asylum?You can hit me up for all your shopping, I buy anything from all websites, you can send me the links or I can do the search of whatever you want and send to you for your approval before ordering after which I will ship to Nigeria for you to pick up. I live in the US. Send me a message on ijeshopping@gmail.com. You will never regret it. Convenient and very cost effective.
Please people, it is their choice to choose asylum in South Africa. You people talking of slavery, are u not a slave since the Nigerian govt has refused to provide basic amenities to u as a citizen
Hell no u re not, dats y it doesn't burda us dat ya'll do U just a gud government and dats bcuz d white stay longer in SA help u develop ur country. You av 2 be hard as a Nigerian and smarter dan d oda man 2 survive dats y we survive eniwhere all doe sum 9gerians go abt it d wrong way like dis ones sicking 4 asylum in COMMON SA shame
I love how Nigerians will unite when other black nations treat them this way then turn around and be TRIBALISTIC to their own fellow brothers when they can't treat each other with RESPECT ,I am not in no way for what my country men are doing to Nigerians it's no way to treat humans especially our fellow Africans but Nigerian need to learn humility the majority I've met in SA and USA always form big boy or big girl and look down on their own people you guys are still divided by tribalism if you can pass through that and form unity then maybe SA could could stop xenophobia too the world needs more love *
Nigerians,Nigerians,any way they will never get the status because i am sure none of them meet up with the international requirement of getting the refugee status

May be USA and Canada are happy whenever they see anybody with that #GreenPassport. In South Africa, their may occupations are selling dope, robbery and internet-scamming. The name NIGERIA in foreign countries synonymous to NEGATIVE!!! Still yet, some people are still campaigning for #GEJandPDP to continue ruling us.

Hate is a very big word @Mimi cause you are staying in SA ,benefiting from all things that South Africans get(NOT ALL SOUTH AFRICANS ARE AGAINST NIGERIANS),tell me have you experience any issue with Eskom, how about running water ,PROPER ROADS, A HEALTH SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS YOU TO BE TREATED FIRST BEFORE YOU PAY or the list is endless of what you are enjoying so choose you words wisely (NEPA)that's all I have to say........drops mic
The fact is that NIGERIA doesnt have the basics for a normal human being to live in. Can you imagine that there is not city in nigeria with a 24/7 power supply. There is no country in the world with its cities in the dark due to power supply, even sudan. There is no city in Nigera that has international airport situated there, that has constant power supply. No light in Abuja, Lagos, Caabar, Benin, Ibadan, Jos, Kano, PortHarcourt, Asaba, Uyo, Akure, the list is endless. In 2014 " naija never get constant light", thats NONSENSE.

The fact is that NIGERIA doesnt have the basics for a normal human being to live in. Can you imagine that there is not city in nigeria with a 24/7 power supply. There is no country in the world with its cities in the dark due to power supply, even sudan. There is no city in Nigera that has international airport situated there, that has constant power supply.
