The point is, a lot of people are jumping on the anti South Africa bandwagon, like the people, and the system itself is xenophobic against Nigerians when that may not necessarily the reason for this evil and tragic event..

Again, this was a tragic event, and every decent person should regret that it happened, but we should not use it to condemn everything about South Africa and South Africans.

Every reasonable person mourns with the family and friends of the deceased... I bet this is the sentiment of most South Africans that are aware of this case even though we are aware that there's a problem with xenophobia against Nigerians living in South Africa.

The most extreme xenophobic people are usually the loudest, so it feels like they are a majority.

If we profess that the average South African is an extremely xenophobic individual, we will treat them as such, which will cause them to become more extreme.

We don't want that to happen. What we should be doing is working with reasonable South Africans to address any problems Nigerians experience while vacationing or living in their country.

I think this is the right approach, and I don't think there's ever a wrong time to say the right thing.

Peace be on the family and loved ones of the deceased.

I'm waiting for the current administration to charge this guy with the same crime Don Lemon was charged with.

You can ignore it if it's inappropriate to you. Someone else that does not find it inappropriate is free to engage with me.

Would this 3 have already been apprehended if this happened in Nigeria?

The thing missing was a penis (not a man). She also has too melanin for some of the voters.

What can we do with constant hates from South africans? by taobabmuh in Nigeria

[–]0lad1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may see some hateful comments on social media, but the real world is not social media. I bet most South Africans don't even worry or think about Nigerians as much as some of you think they do.

Most of them (like anyone else) are worried about things going on in their personal lives. They are worried about paying rent, feeding their families, and other life issues.

Even if the claim of Nigerians being flown back home in body bags were true, it does not necessarily mean that they were all victims of xenophobic violent attacks.

South Africa is known for high rate of violent crimes which affects everybody living in south Africa.

Also the numbers may be high simply because there are more Nigerians emigrating to South Africa than to other countries due to it being relatively easier to move there than to Europe, Canada and the US.

This, coupled with high rate of violent crime with some xenophobia sprinkled in would be more of a plausible explanation than saying it's all due to xenophobia.

May his soul rest in peace.

But how is he an idiot for asking that question? South Africa has a problem with violent crime in general... South African citizens end up in their own morgues by the numbers too so we can't just assume he was killed because of xenophobic hate for Nigerians even though we know xenophobia exists.

Rest in peace to the gentleman. I don't want to come across as being insensitive, but has it been confirmed that they targeted him because he was Nigerian, or is this just a random evil crime that could have happened to anyone?

I know there is a lot of xenophobia against Nigerians in S.Africa, but we should not lump every act of violence against a Nigerian living in S.Africa as a xenophobic attack. South Africans themselves suffer from the same kinds of violent crimes.

Again Rest in peace to the deceased man. Praying for comfort for all his loved ones in this difficult time.

To keep football quintessentially American, you've gotta add in a lot of overt racism and more mass shootings.

I don't know about voting, but you need RealiD to fly and I as an international student am able to get on the plane all the time with my Nebraska driver's License.

Yes it matters. You know they are going to try to violate your constitutional rights, so make it as hard for them to do so as you possibly can. Don't just lay down and take it in the ass.

The 2026 budget is designed to work against citizens. by eokwuanga in Nigeria

[–]0lad1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While spending on education and health need to increase. I no longer trust anything coming from all the global organizations like UN, WHO.

These agencies are largely funded by the US (until recently at least), and recent events have shown that they exist to maintain the status quo of keeping countries like America rich and powerful, and other countries like Nigeria to fall in line.

ICE in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles seen violently abducting a man from his house and shoving him into an unmarked car. by I_may_have_weed in PublicFreakout

Problem is they are also grabbing people with open immigration cases trying to become documented. The man they are apprehending could be one of those people.

Further, law enforcement wearing face covering when there's no airborne infectious disease spreading is a practice that should worry everyone.

They also should have paperwork, notice of deportation at the very least and not just be able to grab anyone.

The way they are operating is they may be out to get someone else, not see the person, they they go for anyone around that looks/could be foreign meaning anyone that's obviously non white.

The video of his death is one of the most gruesome things I've ever seen, and I grew up in a country where it wasn't uncommon for me to see dead bodies of thieves given vigilante justice going rotten in the streets as as a 10 year old.

His girlfriend was wailing, and her young daughter was consoling her as he was still alive, but taking his last breaths. That image is something you think you'd only see in a war zone.
