Why didn't you mention that the reason all of this started was because a Nigerian national killed a South African national when stopped him from selling drugs to a young man. You cannot address an issue without talking about how it started. This is imperative as to understand the cause of any problem.
Nigerians must know that SA has constitution nd must be respected as such..you easily forgets that the very same undocumented Nigerians in SA are the ones who started attacking the SA police then killed the SA taxi driver....to hell with that..um not condoning the killing of the Nigerians in SA...THEY MUST NOT FORGET THAT THIS IS ANOTHER COUNTRY NOT THEIR OWN
Mr man it is not true that Nigerians where not killed. it is time to fight these attacks the best way we know best. No matter the image the world has portray Nigerians to be, nobody can take it away from us that we are hard-working people With big vision. these qualities of ours is intimidating to other nationals not only South Africa feel intimidated and complex around Nigerian for no reason. But frankly our government has handle this same issues with weakness and negligence and this is why it's continuing.
Many Nigerian have very big vision and are millionaires in the making. Unfortunately, many of them do not care what methods they use to become rich. I see it all around me : drug dealing, prostitution, human trafficking and creating false identity papers - it is all here where I live. Nigerians need to improve their morals to be truly successful. I do not support xenophobia or crime against anybody for any reason - but Nigerians need to clean up their act.
i don't understand why ya'll want to dictate how South Africans should treat Nigerians in their country... why are they running away from YOU in the 1st place? Why don't you just take them ALL back coz clearly they have over stayed their welcome in SA

I as a South African have respect for Nigeria as a Nation.

The loss of human life is always dreadful, thankfully someone finally sorted out the rumours of killings.

They went too far in what started as a protest on grievances against Human trafficking, prostitution flares, drug smuggling and so forth, and quite clearly got hijacked by an opportunist criminal element. This is not to blame only Nigerians as I am well aware of and friends with but a handful of Nigerians, out of the many in our civil society.

@Ta H, your points are well noted but permit me to say a few things. Those underlying issues/sentiments raised and the failure to address them is an indictment on the South African system. For years now, they've allowed that campaign to go on that Nigerians are drug dealers, I even watched one of their ministers voicing the same sentiments but they forget to note that 1. Crime has no nationality. There are bad people everywhere as well good people. When you profile a people because of the misdemeanors of a few, it becomes a rallying point and things can quickly escalate. I've been reading a lot of rape and murder cases perpetrated by some people in your country, you sound enlightened, how will you feel if my first perception of you is that of a rapist or murderer? One of the most intelligent doctors I met while in med school in Nigeria is now in South Africa contributing to SA at the expense of Nigeria and it pains me when such person is looked down on in any way. 2. Crime only thrives when there's enabling environment. From what I've seen, it does appear to me that the SA environment allows those crime to thrive. There won't be drug dealers without drug addicts and that's an indictment of the society and family too. 3. If we take laws into our hands, we will descend into chaos and anarchy as we've seen. This is why we have the law and instruments for punishing offenders. When such institutions are weak, such scenes as this is bound to occur and this in particular reference to the police. 4. Nigerian govt is not responsible for the action of her citizens in SA, it is the responsibility of the govt of SA to enforce law and order within its boundaries as much as it is the responsible of Nigerian govt to do so in Nigeria.. 5. At the heart of all this struggle is economics, the struggle for survival. PLO Lumumba did a beautiful exposé on that. It's important that our leaders make conscious efforts to draw her citizens out of poverty, issues like this is unlikely to happen.. Summarily, I subscribe to the pan African ideology and would love to see this sorted out amicably. The diplomatic row this is raising is portraying us in bad light..
@@emmanuelibeh2851 I take your points, especially number 3. It is not without reason, however, that Nigerians are in the spotlight concerning the criminal acts, I myself have been coerced by Nigerians trying to sell drugs to me on my way back from school (I am not making that up!!) and this is indeed a common experience for many South African youth.

@@adajesus4580 But I'm in South Africa Johannesburg and I know first hand what is going on. My country has been accused of something they have not done. Thats the truth. Looting and burning if shops did happen but nobody from Nigeria was killed.
It's true. No Nigerian was called. People doing crime here were busy spreading videos of things that happened in othet countries and they were say we are doing it. Please don't just follow propaganda.
Yolanda Nxesi I guess a lot of old videos are popping up on UA-cam, and it was 1year ago...but recent comments made it almost impossible to detect. I’m glad no Nigerian is dead so far, but the crisis is totally uncalled for and the way SA seems like a lawless country controlled by thugs is so disheartening.
Please use the same energy to better your country so that the people may come home and work they are scattered all over the world because of government.

You want me to respect him??
I support you on shop rite being nigeria investment, but Which guarantees do you need from south Africa president? Didn't you hear a Nigeria man telling you that the police were there and they did not do anything, what is this guy talking about no Nigeria lives has been destroyed, the car dealership that lost all his investment what do you want him to do?
Mr foreign minister, let me ask you this....if your source of income is being looted,burned or snatched by another while the only thing you could do is look with a broken heart, rejection from home and abroad (south Africa in this case, Libya is another and around the world in general) Are you better than the DEAD? Government carelessness about the populace lead to this tragedy in the first place. So sad those in power don't really see THE DISASTER creeping towards you and your entire family. DO THE RIGHT THING BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
What Business is that? Drugs? Prostitution? or Human Trafficking? You Nigerians should learn to better your own country then to go to other Countries looking for Trouble. F*C* OFF Already!!
Xenophobia, racism is South African problem and every country has its own. Please bare with us on this matter and forgive our wicked brothers for doing this to your people.
Stop drawing red, yello×, blue or black lines just do your job Mr Minister and show how responsible your government is to the people of Nigeria at home and abroad. ENOUGH US ENOUGH...DO SOMETHING TO STOP THE PEOPPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA NOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!
The reason why the south African govt did not follow through with the last implementations in place to stop these cruel and barbaric attacks against Nigerians is because we have a "HE GOAT" as a foreign minister. ..Oloshi buruku. .. So you want us to believe that no Nigerian was killed. .? Thanks Goodness for social media that will continue to be the people's voice
When this thing started I told the govt to change the Mtn and shop rite management immediately to a local hand ,they refuse before the citizens took laws into their hands......I don't even know what SA to president is doing..... South Africa is doomed...their end has come
Has Nigerian Government earnestly investigated the said killing to prove if true or not? Onyeama, be sure of this. Nigeria is too big to be humiliated by the same people we assisted in regaining their freedom.
so u have to wait untill leaching time of our citizens bfor u have to draw what u called red line. ok oooh. lets see which type of red colour u r gonna use if hot or cold red. ciao
I wish Nigerians could see the number of against these xenophobic attacks. There are 9 provinces in SA only 2 provinces are engaging in these xenophobic acts. most of the videos you saw online are not true. Yes SAs burnt down buildings but no one was killed. All those videos are from past years and from other countries.
@Shol Lly which common man are you talking about. South Africa will suffer it the most. There company MTN makes more money from every other African countries than other African make from South Africa
If Nigeria is rich why don't you have South Africans in your country, why your people come to South Africa t and still fight when they ask them to leave, how many shops does your country have in south africa? Do you have illegal migrat from South Africa to your country, yes we might be jealous of you with your upper hand intelligence, but look where your intelligence takes you people, killing, rapping, abusing and drug dealing isn't what you can hover around bragging about it. Don't take advantage of the
Chisco lost 18 mass transit buses in Lagos, Nigeria. Just because his office had the Goodluck Jonathan campaign poster. People, Nigerians justified it. Chisco is a Nigerian doing business in Nigeria. A Zulu can never do that to a Xhosa. They address themselves as brothers and sisters. You hear echoes of "My brother, my sister". Same people are now hating on South Africans for burning a Nigerian owned car company. You think they do not know all these? They are laughing at your confusion. When the rant is over and it will soon be, you wake up and fix your country. Is it not amazing that you do not find South Africans in Nigeria but Nigerian community in University of Pretoria alone can be one country. I don't want to mention other universities. Most of them are even on STATE sponsored scholarships running their phd's. What I mean is that, the South African government are taking care of their education. Nigerian lecturers are teaching in South African universities, earning what their counterparts in Nigeria are not earning without any need to impose handouts on anyone. You are listing Mtn, Dstv and watever, watever. Burn them down and chase Nigerians away from the few employment your government cannot create. The sad thing is while their government are paying all of them unemployment benefits, paying all their children and providing free health care for them, if you find yourself out of employment, Nigerian government does not help you in anyway. So be careful how you advocate for burning down businesses in Nigeria. The only place you will find South Africans in Nigeria is at Tb Joshua's synagogue but those are mostly on temporary movement. Mandela was sick and didn't have to step out of the country for one day because there is no need for that. Can your president trust the clinic in Aso rock to treat his ear problem? You keep writing that their country was built by whites, were you not governed by whites, why didn't they build yours? Is South Africa the only African country that was colonised? As for those of you asking Nigerians to come back, you amuse me. Come back to what? You should channel that energy into telling Nigerians in the North to go back to their regions. Cure the hate in your country first so that people will take you serious. You cannot tell them you are different then turn around and scream when you get the treatment being dished out to those who hate themselves. Some are saying cancel diplomatic ties. What does that even mean? They will drive all your students away from their universities. It is obvious Nigeria as a country does not know her mates in the world. Even Nigerian students and lecturers here will join them and riot against Nigeria. As for those of you going to destroy Shoprite, if anyone shoots you, remember your parents will shoulder that responsibility because Nigeria has no free health care. Anyone injured in south Africa gets treated in their government hospitals. Keep that in mind while you are doing your "revenge".
I wonder why President Buhari has not come out to address the nation in a tense time like this?? At least they can write something for Him to say even if He is clueless. I think Buhari is extremely incompetent or maybe He is just wicked!
Brother please don't think of a war coz both countries will suffer severely if it goes that far. It will be so bad to use nuclear against your fellow africans
I still don’t know why this guys trying to defend SA about the wrong deed they did. I have a friend in SA I called him regarding the killing of Nigerian been killed he confirmed to me that it’s true that the killings are real that he himself is in hiding. So, don’t no why this guys keep lying about the whole thing. It’s unfortunate to see the so call leaders acting like this. Why won’t they learn from western countries. E.g like America. America government will do anything for it citizens when will Nigeria stand up for it own people? It’s unfortunate.
MINISTER PLEASE MAKE EDUCATION MANDATORY IN YOUR COUNTRY BECAUSE AFTER READING THE COMMENTS BELOW THE CONCLUSION THAT WAS DRAWN IS THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF THE POPULATION IS ILLITERATE TO DESTROY WHAT BENEFITS YOU AND WHERE YOU LIVE IS MADNESS. MINISTER PLEASE EXPLAIN TO THE PUBLIC IN DETAIL WHAT IS A "SUBSIDIARY COMPANY THAT EMPLOYS THE CITIZENS OF THAT COUNTRY" AND I'M SURE THEY WILL REFRAIN FROM DESTROYING A BUSINESS WITH A FOREIGN NAME. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN THE USA GOES TO FIGHT A WAR THEY GO FAR AWAY FROM THE COUNTRY. INTELLIGENT PEOPLE DONT DESTROY WHAT BENEFITS THEM NOR WHERE THEY LIVE.
What is this man saying. You are saying rubbish Mr man. Because no member of your family is killed. That is why you are saying no Nigerians were killed. For your own information south African government will find a possible excuse to defend it's people. We Nigerians should know that this is not the first xenophobic attack. Stop the talking and take action.
Why is this happening Blacks every where are being targeted in America, Asia,Europe, Australia and even Africa. Wow , it unfortunate for blacks to be angry with their fellow cousins just because we speak a different language. Unemployment rate being high isn't because of foreigners invading but it actually the immediate opposite. I'm very disappointed that anywhere I go even in my own home with my cousins I feel unsafe. Africa come together because unity makes us whole. We need to depend on each other if we want to succeed. America and Europe speck one language that why they have this advantages over us, let look for a language that makes us succeed as well and our language is our color, our pride. Love yourselves.
The Governments of Nigeria and S/Africa should be allowed to handle this Xenophobic Attacks. Vandalising S/Africa businesses in Nigeria is not an option. Thank you.
A govt is suppose to act fast ahead of any solution concerning the lives and properties of the citizens... If the govt had acted fast they would had averted the destruction in Nigeria
It is unfortunate such behaviour is shown by south African people that we all prayed and helped them to get independence. God should forgive them for they don't know what they are doing.
What are you doing that the public should not know Tell us that secret that you and Buhari are doing which Nigerians doesn't have the right to know Rubish
The Fulani Herdsmen killings in Nigeria is unacceptable too . Buhari and his VP have not openly condemned the killings and rapings in Nigeria. Check the IDP's in Middle Belt and see how fellow nigerians live on daily Basis. Stop the killings in Nigeria too.
If you fix our country the citizens will not want to live. To the most high God who does not slumber nor sleep I pray this special prayer for the people ruling us and who hold positions of power. My the Lord repay you and your families ten fold for all the damage you keep doing to our dear country. As you have caused destitution, poverty, hunger , disease, death etc may the God Lord repay and your families ten fold . If the fake pastors that dot the Nigerian landscape cannot pray curses on our leaders it is time for people of faith to start to do same.
We are tired of this kind of reported speech attributed to Mr President. Let the President of Nigeria come out openly and speak to his country people by himself. Sometimes I wonder where and when and how these mentors collect the information they dish out to the public. It is too bad for A.P.C. Government to keep lying to the masses.
This is necessary for good 'men not to do nothing'in such a wave of attack which have been so rapid,let all leader's go to the drawing board and give the course AU we are awaiting for your invention in all this cat and mouse were lives have been lost not that crap from FAM
South Africa was built by the whites apathy guys,so sorry that they never do anything by themselves and soon they will need help as they have poor brain
Mr oyeama ; I am disappointed at u by saying no lives has been lost I have been . over 200 people has been killed and u are saying ham ham ,ham. u are have fell our generation
Please my people it's high time we stop patronizing their businesses, the shop rite, the MTN and the goTV. Doing this will give the clue on what they have done. Even if the protect this business es, just stop the patronage switch to other companies.
One act too many, whatever needs to be done should be done quickly, decisively to forestall this barbaric evil in this modern age.The S. Africans take it as an easy,quick game to make cheap money, so unless something drastic is done, it wont stop such easily.Its exactly what we are also suffering in the hands of the northerners in Nigeria.

It's like you work in Nigeria embassy trying to act as your masters has told you. Am telling you what am sure of and you're telling me where you living at. I'll advise you not to join hands in covering up what it's on plain sight... Remain blessed.
@@ironchoiyke1952 I am south african, I am one of the south Africans that r fighting these xenophobic motherfuckers. I have no reason to lie to you, or talk to u, but I think it's important that people don't get sucked into fake news. Fake news is undermining everything we are trying to do here. We have setup shelters for the foreigners that lost their homes. Those are the news that people should here, not these fake news. You can even go to my Facebook "Thuto Moloi" and see how we have been vocal about this xenophobic criminals. It is a small group of idiots getting all the media attention.
Nigeria government must to bring back our brothers and sisters who were murdered in S.A. why should we believe your government?
So u did not listen to the video, u just jumped to be the first to comment.
@@666oracle hey, shut up.
But no Nigerian was killed and that's a fact
@@yolandanxesi5463 who do you believe?
@@adajesus4580 But I'm in South Africa Johannesburg and I know first hand what is going on. My country has been accused of something they have not done. Thats the truth. Looting and burning if shops did happen but nobody from Nigeria was killed.
Nawa ooo,with all the videos yet u are saying no Nigerian is killed,only a fool doubt a proff Mr foreign affair minister
It's true. No Nigerian was called. People doing crime here were busy spreading videos of things that happened in othet countries and they were say we are doing it. Please don't just follow propaganda.
Don't mind the Agent
Yolanda Nxesi True. But police killed someone in Kempton Park on Wednesday morning...you were not informed too?
@@truthomo8572 Which news channel were you watching? I hope you are not following old videos. And videos of things that did not even happen in SA.
Yolanda Nxesi I guess a lot of old videos are popping up on UA-cam, and it was 1year ago...but recent comments made it almost impossible to detect. I’m glad no Nigerian is dead so far, but the crisis is totally uncalled for and the way SA seems like a lawless country controlled by thugs is so disheartening.
Please use the same energy to better your country so that the people may come home and work they are scattered all over the world because of government.
Am loving this, this is how government should stand up for her citizens
Yeah
Nigerians are smart & should fight to uplift their country. Why cry to b in a place they are not wanted.... Nigeria a rich country..... better to be in your own country & fix it.... You
You're mad, thunder fire your generation
Amen for dat my broda
Na ogun go killed them all nonsense president and his vice-president
Oh Nigerians why? Calm down
D'CONQUER GROUP Why are Nigerians so disrespectful and easily result to cursing other people? Let’s show some class,please.
@@EyaYorubaTV show respect for a liar?? He met with SA Ambassador and the idiotic ambassador told him that nothing is happening in SA that all those videos and pictures are not real, while his president has confirmed the attack and condemned it, this useless foreigne affair minister believe what useless SA ambassador told him and come to the public to open his useless mouth to say no Nigeria was killed without proper investigation?? You want me to respect him??
I support you on shop rite being nigeria investment, but Which guarantees do you need from south Africa president? Didn't you hear a Nigeria man telling you that the police were there and they did not do anything, what is this guy talking about no Nigeria lives has been destroyed, the car dealership that lost all his investment what do you want him to do?
Why does it look as if the speech that he is giving was written by a SA lady overnight because to me he is not making sense at all
Mr foreign minister, let me ask you this....if your source of income is being looted,burned or snatched by another while the only thing you could do is look with a broken heart, rejection from home and abroad (south Africa in this case, Libya is another and around the world in general)
Are you better than the DEAD?
Government carelessness about the populace lead to this tragedy in the first place.
So sad those in power don't really see THE DISASTER creeping towards you and your entire family.
DO THE RIGHT THING BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
You are right in your words but where is our President we need him to address the issue directly to Nigerians.
Mr foreign affairs if you have a business in south Africa and you lose 30 billionaire naira, would you stand there and be saying no lives were lost.
What Business is that? Drugs? Prostitution? or Human Trafficking?
You Nigerians should learn to better your own country then to go to other Countries looking for Trouble. F*C* OFF Already!!
Xenophobia, racism is South African problem and every country has its own. Please bare with us on this matter and forgive our wicked brothers for doing this to your people.
Wow i love this channel and good content, i wish my videos turns out half as good as yours one day to send messages to more people as possible.
Stop drawing red, yello×, blue or black lines just do your job Mr Minister and show how responsible your government is to the people of Nigeria at home and abroad. ENOUGH US ENOUGH...DO SOMETHING TO STOP THE PEOPPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA NOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!
Foolish people... Can't we fix our country and stay back in our own country. I hate this government with passion
This man is really crazy
The reason why the south African govt did not follow through with the last implementations in place to stop these cruel and barbaric attacks against Nigerians is because we have a "HE GOAT" as a foreign minister. ..Oloshi buruku. ..
So you want us to believe that no Nigerian was killed. .? Thanks Goodness for social media that will continue to be the people's voice
When this thing started I told the govt to change the Mtn and shop rite management immediately to a local hand ,they refuse before the citizens took laws into their hands......I don't even know what SA to president is doing..... South Africa is doomed...their end has come
Has Nigerian Government earnestly investigated the said killing to prove if true or not? Onyeama, be sure of this. Nigeria is too big to be humiliated by the same people we assisted in regaining their freedom.
so u have to wait untill leaching time of our citizens bfor u have to draw what u called red line. ok oooh. lets see which type of red colour u r gonna use if hot or cold red. ciao
Am waiting to hear or see you tell us the Red line that has been drawn?
we donot care because this is not the first time
Brother if no one died at this moment, let them pay for those who died before.
it doesn't matter, if your property were taking you are more than half dead.
I wish Nigerians could see the number of against these xenophobic attacks. There are 9 provinces in SA only 2 provinces are engaging in these xenophobic acts. most of the videos you saw online are not true. Yes SAs burnt down buildings but no one was killed. All those videos are from past years and from other countries.
Nonsense enough is enough, they are jealous of Nigerians wealth
@Shol Lly which common man are you talking about. South Africa will suffer it the most. There company MTN makes more money from every other African countries than other African make from South Africa
wealth from drugs
If Nigeria is rich why don't you have South Africans in your country, why your people come to South Africa t and still fight when they ask them to leave, how many shops does your country have in south africa?
Do you have illegal migrat from South Africa to your country, yes we might be jealous of you with your upper hand intelligence, but look where your intelligence takes you people, killing, rapping, abusing and drug dealing isn't what you can hover around bragging about it. Don't take advantage of the
@@leitonkoena4562 what about the white people u fool
Richard Oki..you people are making white men to be happy wen they see us fighting like this
Chisco lost 18 mass transit buses in Lagos, Nigeria. Just because his office had the Goodluck Jonathan campaign poster.
People, Nigerians justified it. Chisco is a Nigerian doing business in Nigeria. A Zulu can never do that to a Xhosa. They address themselves as brothers and sisters. You hear echoes of "My brother, my sister".
Same people are now hating on South Africans for burning a Nigerian owned car company. You think they do not know all these? They are laughing at your confusion.
When the rant is over and it will soon be, you wake up and fix your country.
Is it not amazing that you do not find South Africans in Nigeria but Nigerian community in University of Pretoria alone can be one country. I don't want to mention other universities. Most of them are even on STATE sponsored scholarships running their phd's. What I mean is that, the South African government are taking care of their education.
Nigerian lecturers are teaching in South African universities, earning what their counterparts in Nigeria are not earning without any need to impose handouts on anyone.
You are listing Mtn, Dstv and watever, watever. Burn them down and chase Nigerians away from the few employment your government cannot create.
The sad thing is while their government are paying all of them unemployment benefits, paying all their children and providing free health care for them, if you find yourself out of employment, Nigerian government does not help you in anyway. So be careful how you advocate for burning down businesses in Nigeria.
The only place you will find South Africans in Nigeria is at Tb Joshua's synagogue but those are mostly on temporary movement.
Mandela was sick and didn't have to step out of the country for one day because there is no need for that. Can your president trust the clinic in Aso rock to treat his ear problem?
You keep writing that their country was built by whites, were you not governed by whites, why didn't they build yours? Is South Africa the only African country that was colonised?
As for those of you asking Nigerians to come back, you amuse me.
Come back to what? You should channel that energy into telling Nigerians in the North to go back to their regions.
Cure the hate in your country first so that people will take you serious.
You cannot tell them you are different then turn around and scream when you get the treatment being dished out to those who hate themselves.
Some are saying cancel diplomatic ties. What does that even mean? They will drive all your students away from their universities. It is obvious Nigeria as a country does not know her mates in the world. Even Nigerian students and lecturers here will join them and riot against Nigeria.
As for those of you going to destroy Shoprite, if anyone shoots you, remember your parents will shoulder that responsibility because Nigeria has no free health care. Anyone injured in south Africa gets treated in their government hospitals. Keep that in mind while you are doing your "revenge".
I wonder why President Buhari has not come out to address the nation in a tense time like this?? At least they can write something for Him to say even if He is clueless. I think Buhari is extremely incompetent or maybe He is just wicked!
😂 😂 😂 😂, you are asking for dead man to come and address Nigerians. Bro Your current president is fake, an impostor
You are ashamed of not talking care of your people
Even if no Nigerian was killed, what about the once who lost their lives before now? What was done?
Loook at this mumu man , how can the high commission know anything when they don't use Instagram
Stephen Terngu 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇳🇬
Nigeria should start to thinking of Starting a Nuclear Programme
Kehinde Kenny yes as fast as possible
South Africa already runs one of the best Nuclear power plant in the world.
Brother please don't think of a war coz both countries will suffer severely if it goes that far. It will be so bad to use nuclear against your fellow africans
@@yolandanxesi5463 so ? 🙄
They should start first with a Nuclear power plant pls
I still don’t know why this guys trying to defend SA about the wrong deed they did. I have a friend in SA I called him regarding the killing of Nigerian been killed he confirmed to me that it’s true that the killings are real that he himself is in hiding. So, don’t no why this guys keep lying about the whole thing. It’s unfortunate to see the so call leaders acting like this. Why won’t they learn from western countries. E.g like America. America government will do anything for it citizens when will Nigeria stand up for it own people? It’s unfortunate.
Make a provision for our Nigerians to come back home and stop talking nonsense pls, shame on Nigerian government.
Posters of dead people are everywhere especially in south east, people died much in South Africa, don't said noone died okay
Nigeria has a Deff and donff president toy Buhari he is a local toy for life
Who be this goat to tell us say waiting we dey see for social media is not true am so ashamed of your old
MINISTER PLEASE MAKE EDUCATION MANDATORY IN YOUR COUNTRY BECAUSE AFTER READING THE COMMENTS BELOW THE CONCLUSION THAT WAS DRAWN IS THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF THE POPULATION IS ILLITERATE TO DESTROY WHAT BENEFITS YOU AND WHERE YOU LIVE IS MADNESS.
MINISTER PLEASE EXPLAIN TO THE PUBLIC IN DETAIL WHAT IS A "SUBSIDIARY COMPANY THAT EMPLOYS THE CITIZENS OF THAT COUNTRY" AND I'M SURE THEY WILL REFRAIN FROM DESTROYING A BUSINESS WITH A FOREIGN NAME.
FOR EXAMPLE WHEN THE USA GOES TO FIGHT A WAR THEY GO FAR AWAY FROM THE COUNTRY. INTELLIGENT PEOPLE DONT DESTROY WHAT BENEFITS THEM NOR WHERE THEY LIVE.
DID I HEAR NO LIFe HAS BEEN LOST? What tha fuck is he saying.
Brother new yam festival beating awaiting for you anywhere ok.continue
Lol
Hahahaahahah
What is this man saying. You are saying rubbish Mr man. Because no member of your family is killed. That is why you are saying no Nigerians were killed. For your own information south African government will find a possible excuse to defend it's people. We Nigerians should know that this is not the first xenophobic attack. Stop the talking and take action.
You are not telling the truth ,I promise you that it will definitely happened to your children .so that you we feel the impact
Amen!
see the way this man is saying mr president as if bugari is one super power like this even the indian president is better than buhari
Obviously writing cheques that cannot be cashed
Don't tell me that, are u telling me that u are not seeing how many Nigerians has been killed
Nigerian is finished🙆🙆
Why is this happening
Blacks every where are being targeted in America, Asia,Europe, Australia and even Africa.
Wow , it unfortunate for blacks to be angry with their fellow cousins just because we speak a different language.
Unemployment rate being high isn't because of foreigners invading but it actually the immediate opposite.
I'm very disappointed that anywhere I go even in my own home with my cousins I feel unsafe.
Africa come together because unity makes us whole. We need to depend on each other if we want to succeed.
America and Europe speck one language that why they have this advantages over us, let look for a language that makes us succeed as well and our language is our color, our pride.
Love yourselves.
For saying no Nigeria person was killed . Mr man you don't know enytin
This man is not making any sense
😂😂😂He is speaking truth that is why, you all got hyped up by videos that didn't even happen in SA.
Please Onyeama who is this president you are talking about the dead Buhari or the Sudanis man and why can't him say all this by himself?
The Governments of Nigeria and S/Africa should be allowed to handle this Xenophobic Attacks.
Vandalising S/Africa businesses in Nigeria is not an option.
Thank you.
Way better than what our so called president in zimbabwe said .........nigeria is more organised
A govt is suppose to act fast ahead of any solution concerning the lives and properties of the citizens... If the govt had acted fast they would had averted the destruction in Nigeria
If buhari government wan lie, na so so long grammar dem go dey speak.
THEM DEY MAD
But videos can't lie
Videos did not happen in South Africa they were used as propaganda.
This is a goat speaking, listen to yourself
It is unfortunate such behaviour is shown by south African people that we all prayed and helped them to get independence. God should forgive them for they don't know what they are doing.
Mr man, where is your boss
Not only Nigeria But d whole of Africa should draw d red line.
What are you doing that the public should not know
Tell us that secret that you and Buhari are doing which Nigerians doesn't have the right to know
Rubish
The Fulani Herdsmen killings in Nigeria is unacceptable too . Buhari and his VP have not openly condemned the killings and rapings in Nigeria. Check the IDP's in Middle Belt and see how fellow nigerians live on daily Basis. Stop the killings in Nigeria too.
If those people killed are not Nigerians are they not human beings? Useless speech.
Stop lying. When will you reform?
He said according to the consulate in South Africa.
The ones with no documentation are in the country illegally, they must be deported, Go Home with only the clothes your wearing!!!!
The red line has been crossed, long time ago, now storry storry same old ways God help Nigeria
So proud of Nigeria, very powerful leadership of our African people. So very proud of Nigeria.
Every time Mr president said this and that where is this Mr president
If you fix our country the citizens will not want to live. To the most high God who does not slumber nor sleep I pray this special prayer for the people ruling us and who hold positions of power. My the Lord repay you and your families ten fold for all the damage you keep doing to our dear country. As you have caused destitution, poverty, hunger , disease, death etc may the God Lord repay and your families ten fold . If the fake pastors that dot the Nigerian landscape cannot pray curses on our leaders it is time for people of faith to start to do same.
They make my president look like Einstein❗️
Is he a ghost that he cannot come out on the national television to address Nigerian
We are tired of this kind of reported speech attributed to Mr President. Let the President of Nigeria come out openly and speak to his country people by himself. Sometimes I wonder where and when and how these mentors collect the information they dish out to the public. It is too bad for A.P.C. Government to keep lying to the masses.
This is necessary for good 'men not to do nothing'in such a wave of attack which have been so rapid,let all leader's go to the drawing board and give the course AU we are awaiting for your invention in all this cat and mouse were lives have been lost not that crap from FAM
This minister disappointed himself and buhari govt by saying no Nigeria was killed in d attack...
He only send delegates, the ones that ran away from Buhari’s killings are who SA are killing
Move warships there and fighter jets as soon as possible
South Africa was built by the whites apathy guys,so sorry that they never do anything by themselves and soon they will need help as they have poor brain
We don't need south African business franchise! Let their business names be changed!
Mr oyeama ; I am disappointed at u by saying no lives has been lost I have been . over 200 people has been killed and u are saying ham ham ,ham. u are have fell our generation
Rubbish, grammar without action. After now no one hears anything about it again. President my foot.
Geoffrey go to Facebook or UA-cam the video is every where so stop fully your self
Please my people it's high time we stop patronizing their businesses, the shop rite, the MTN and the goTV. Doing this will give the clue on what they have done. Even if the protect this business es, just stop the patronage switch to other companies.
True talk, let us do that to show respect for the people that lost their lives and properties in South Africa
One act too many, whatever needs to be done should be done quickly, decisively to forestall this barbaric evil in this modern age.The S. Africans take it as an easy,quick game to make cheap money, so unless something drastic is done, it wont stop such easily.Its exactly what we are also suffering in the hands of the northerners in Nigeria.
Thank goodness Nigeria 🇳🇬 has finally woken up.
It's 2021 now,so how that working🤣
Our government is always "ensuring" ..... but nothing is done. Smh
for now the economic whatever in cape town should not be in South Africa.
Why is this man lying
So the Nigerians that died is now no more Nigerians ohhh God have mercy on us we don't have government this people are there just for them and their families only.
So Mr Onyeama you are telling us that no Nigerian aka zoo died in that attack?
It s not acceptable it's 2019 ???
Dis one na Junior brother 2 Lie Muhammed. BUHARI n Apc are complete failures n are d worst dat has happened 2 Nigeria.
