And at this point, the amount of people who are white in the western hemisphere until really the 19th century, didn't exactly ask to be in the western hemisphere either, but..

First and foremost I am going to say, this is a very best way to raise awareness of what is basically going on in south Africa, from my understanding this was not xenophobia attack as people are narrating it, this all started back from a video that was circulating of police officers were beaten by foreigners and humanized begging for their lives to be not taken away, it started when a taxi drive was pointed and shot at, I could count so many incidents that happened , started from foreigners selling expired food, fake menstruating pads there is so many, back to social services the most deserved people of south Africa don't get them, you'll find illegal foreigners owning an RDP house but a citizen on the road. they have ID's which they obtained illegally (most).

One of the driver approached me and I told him my own side of the story of helping a black brother. Without listening to he's side of the story, he asked him never go come to the taxi rank to sale any thing again. I still went ahead and plead on he's behalf to allow him sale but to approach customers nicely. He was allowed again and I gave him the R50 without taking the headsets from him.

My friend came to the US in 2014. He came to get his master's. As he was completing his masters, he was looking for opportunities. He had to work (illegally because he didn't have a work visa. He was working at a soap making plant). He worked a lot and put himself through school. He met a girl, married her. Before he completed his Master's, he was getting job offers after he got married of over $80K/year salary, and this was just to start because he was still in school. When he finished school, his salary jumped to over 120K. He's an engineer for a Medical manufacturing company. He put his wife through school, and now has two daughters with her. He's now in his second house, and is planning on buying a third. In 2018, he was working as an engineer for two different companies (which he wasn't even allowed to do because the companies are rivals). He did this for almost a year. He just bought himself a new Mercedes this year. Being Nigerian, I'm used to seeing Nigerians and black people succeed. In my country, this is normal. I'm sorry that you're used to being oppressed and having no access to success, to the extent that when you see a black person in your country living a good life, you tell yourself it's because he's selling drugs. You guys make no sense at all. No one can be that crazy and bold in a strange country if there isn't someone there showing him the ropes. I'm guessing SAns were already doing all these things (pimping their girls, trafficking, kidnapping, and selling/doing drugs), but some hungry bad seeds Nigerians saw this and got into the game, and maybe they beat you at it, and now you're bitching and trying to pin it all on them.

In the first place, we were one of the major countries responsible for the freedom of South Africa to put an end to apartheid. In fact, Nigeria was given the status of a frontline state that means that all the way from West Africa, we played a major role. Now to see our people in South Africa being subjected to such massive violence and perpetrations; particularly at the same time, when we are the ones breathing life into major South African conglomerates, like MTN, DSTV, Shoprite and so on. It’s very disturbing. “What’s happening is a breach of international law, the South African government is responsible and liable for what its people are doing and I am more affected by the level of ingratitude that we have received from these people who we carried on our backs in their dark days which they don’t recognise anymore.
