Africa Day | Nigerians in South Africa recount struggles

Africans must unite irrespective of where they come from. One international relations scholar says South Africans are still mistreating foreign nationals who earn an honest living. As the continent marks Africa Day, some Nigerians here say they still dream of a prosperous life. eNCA's Ronald Masinda spoke to them. Courtesy #DStv403

YOU are in Somebody s COUNTRY on the AFRICAN CONTINENT, and the CONTINENT is not NIGERIA, IT is made up of 54 Countries and Africans are Heterogenous /very diverse Genetically and so forth. Hope i could help !!.I do not like PEOPLE who plays IGNORANT and take us for FOOLS.

Looks like the media is enticing this why do they always ask for Nigerians opinions we got Zimbabweans and others why do you always question Nigerians and seek their opinions

[kaybeeMoAfrika]

Here we go again. It just had to be Nigerians, not Ghanians, Somalis, Congolese or Zimbabweans. I am so done with this and our media is not helping either. They should have at least interviewed someone from another country besides Nigeria.

[marvinkp]

Nobody is forcing them to stay in the country.

Typical Nigerian response... They always assume people are envious of their 'success'. Nigeria would be a well developed country if they were as brilliant as they believe to be.

Whichever country they go to, they tend to have issues with locals

change your attitude back in your country & come back when SA unemployment is 5%

[lebogangmoeketsi]

The contribution of this nigerians is needed in their country more than her. They must unite the nigerians first before they thinking of uniting Africa. I am tired with this song called we are all Africans but it's only sang in SA only. Foreigners are too much in our country

Are you paying tax? Running your business in South Africa

[popomosarwane]

Let them go if they don't feel free here

[dineomolapo]

They can't even Co exist in their own country always tribal superiority STRIFE wars or religious fights wars and they are looking for peace here 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏 😭😭😭😭😭 my beloved country is really taken for a ride ..

[WNdaba]

If they are suffering, they are free to go home. We dont want suffering and smiling here

[nokuthulahlongwane]

Keep singing that song about what was done for South Africans during apartheid is not helping matters, because we can not run the country according to what did happened in the past and they did not have to deal with this many South Africans, so that statement has been over used and it's useless. Politicians went to those countries not ordinary South Africans. South Africans were poor then and they are still poor now. Please come up with solutions instead of keep using the song about what was done during apartheid. The population has more than doubled since then so every country must pull their weight. They claim to be the educated and clever ones in Africa. How did they managed to have over 200. millions people in such an impoverish country?

You belong in your own country dearest which is Nigeria

[therealistafrican]

You belong to your home country it's as simple as that

[therealistafrican]

We all know most of your business are a front to your really business DRUGS

[mrsoshadabaadman]

A question. Why did some African States choose civil war instead of joining forces to liberate South Africa. Cuba and Russia did more for South African liberation if you are going to be auditing contributionsm

[summorefuneka]

ENCA mnxm this Nigeria and South Africa thing is tiring now 👎

[theyoungguy]

They must invade Zim for a change, in both Zim and Nigeria you won't find south Africans, give us a "break "

[pertuniagumbo]

This ppl need 2 understand tht in SA we dn't consider a person 2 b a person 2 b South African jst b'cos thy'r black bt b'cs thy'r human beings, these so called brothers nd sisters come here with bad intentions nd thy expect us 2 make way 4 for them nd then let them prosper in our country. Majority of immigrants dn't care about South Africans even if thy c their brothers nd sisters committing crime thy dn't care b'cs thy don't care for black South Africans so y xud we. To show tht we've been kind nd accommodating towards them, u'll find them in each nd every city/township it dsn't matter where in SA u'll find them nd thy dn't even appreciate wt South Africa's doing 4 them, thy want us 2 feel guilty about what we dn't want in our country.
