Xenophobia: Read this convo between a Nigerian & a South African

A LIB reader struck up a conversation with a South African about the Xenophobic attacks happening in SA at the moment. It's kinda sad how they are explaining the reason for the killings instead of condemning it. Continue

    5. But if you read the convo well, you'd see where they are trying to come from! Don't get me wrong on this im not encouraging the killings.. not atall! Inshort that is the highest a country should do to its neighbouring country.. but people should learn to live a just live instead of criminality every now and then! Starting from Nigeria. I urge SA to stop all these nonsense and tackle things the right way. Col 3:14. John 10:10-11

    7. Nobody has the power to kill another man. It is just wrong. Every issue can be sorted with resorting to shedding blood. My half penny.

    8. This is not enough reason to murder them. Don't they have security details? When an offender is caught with no papers, he's deported back to his country. That's what civilized countries do biko! Enough with d killings already.

      Delete
    9. Any body dat sees reason with this should be terribly ashamed of themselves. They killed a man on his way to work. And i saw a video where they burnt 3 young boys to death. U blcks r just barbaric and it is very shameful. Dis is why we dnt move forward. No 1 has d right to kill another human trying to mk a living. I am disgusted

  14. This is not true. They are killing any black foreigner. I recently watched a video where they killed some people including a little child less than 10yrs.

  15. The South African has a point... but it still doesn't justify the killings...its barbaric. *Calabar girl it's Xenophobic.

  16. That's not enough reason to start attacking immigrants. AU should just do something to stop this.

    ReplyDelete
  17. From that conversation, it means the government of SA and the people of SA are in support of the killings. If Nigerians react now, they'll say Nigerians have started. SA people have always been hateful people. They should have suffered and remained in aparthied. Since they do not appreciate how other countries fought for them. The sad thing is that it is not even the whites that are killing people. They whites are civilised. It is the blacks that should be a brother's keeper that are even killing people. Thesame thing happened in the just concluded BBA. Pls no Nigerian should audition for BBA again

  18. He is not condemning the killings because deep down he is supporting his Zulu foolish brothers, they are all the same mtewww!!!

  38. I perceived the attack as an indirect retaliation of their people who died at the synagogue church of all Nation.This is my perception.But let's be reasonable,these people are right,they fought to liberate their land,we should think of doing same,though the journey has started in Nigeria with the recently concluded election,other African countries should take a cue.The AU should also take a proactive step to stop the xenophobia primitive action.

  39. Bullshit reason and execuse for d killings a lot of Africans fought for dem.during apartheid .this is a wake up call for African leaders develop yur nation.God punish south africans

  40. Nigerians self dey fall our hands. Basically, Asia is far better for Naijas than another African continent.

    Ultimately, dont think the freedom we give to foreigners in Nigeria would be same as they would give us - Nahhh .. Nigerians strive faster abroad cause of the way we were brought up to hustle hard.

    Aint saying we should go back to Naija but atleast - always think we love foreigners but they don't love us -- So, always maintain your position and do whatever u do coded -- Follow Rule # 3 and 5 of 10 Crack commandment -- And trust me ... You go undetected for life ...

  42. Why won't "foreigners" take over? The person can't even type what someone can comprehend. Or don't they speak English there?
    My issue is I've not heard anything from the South African government. It's sad. South Africans are foreigners elsewhere. They should remember that.

  56. See kill a thief, a pimp, a drug lord I would breath easy cos these are the people who give Nigerians a bad name abroad; before you call me names remember Nigeria is a land of extra judicial killings. The problem is the innocents caught in the middle; moreover not every illegal is a criminal or into crime. There should be a better way to do this not this but ......

  58. Shes right though. I get their sentiments totally. It was d same reason we sent ghanians packing out of lagos in the 80's. The educated ones were fine cos most of them were teachers but d rest of them didnt have proper accomodation & just turned d streets into slums.

  72. Nigerians too should stay in their own country and stop disgracing themselves in other countries, imagine going to another African country illegally to do bad things, just go to Ghana n see the rubbish they are doing there. If they are not careful all other African countries will start killing them everywhere. It's sad that Africans are killing their own but Nigerians know how to provoke and that's the truth! #DropsMic

    During the elections, looking at the comment section of social media sites like LindaIkeji, the enmity and clear hatred of the igbos as was heartbreaking. its clear we as a nation need to have a rethink.

  83. I remember back in primary school in Lagos when we carried placards that read "APARTHEID IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY - FREE SOUTH AFRICA NOW"..........Now South Africans are saying they fought for their freedom themselves. Does it mean all those efforts are in vain???????

    ReplyDelete
  84. Do these justify killing??? Sometimes, one tries to give reasons why other people do things when the person actually thinks those people are right. All the high profile deaths in South Africa - Lucky Dube, that footballer driving with his girlfriend, etc- were caused by illegal immigrants? Well, it is their country and they live there, so they should know who rapes those old women, young girls( to cure HIV) etc.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Blacks are their own haters...if it were the whites doing this they will call it racism...it's sad that blacks can't accommodate their own fellow black man... Who told them to be lazy? Who told them not go to school? Are they hoping their disgraceful acts is the solution to the problem on ground? The question is does the killing of their fellow black Africans, taking their stores and sending them out of their homes there by making them homeless and helpless suddenly make any difference or solve the unemployment situation in South Africa? Violence can never and will never solve this problem. This so unbelievably sad. I bet you the whites folks will be having a filled day, laughing at the blacks and calling them all sorts of name. Do you blame them? We need to change our mentality as blacks... It will help us all in so many ways. God help us.
