@nanga_tp @SilverSpecial44 @BanButterfly There is no entitlement. Just behave as normal country do. Work on your undocumented migration through a legal process and the law. Don’t take the laws into your hands. Even undocumented migrants have certain rights. Pressure your government.

@nanga_tp @SilverSpecial44 @BanButterfly I live in Cape Town. So I have a better grasp of what’s happening. And I do know not all South Africans share the perspectives that you and others do. Even when prominent advocates like Malema stand against such xenophobia, tells you a lot that you are on the wrong side

[Almustaqim Balogun - Global Diplomat @AlmustaqimB]

@nanga_tp @SilverSpecial44 @BanButterfly “SA fought for their country during apartheid against white oppression which is why illegal immigrants can come and enjoy those fruits today”. Respectfully, this says a lot that you don’t know a lot about your history, struggles and liberation. Intentional education would suffice

[Almustaqim Balogun - Global Diplomat @AlmustaqimB]

@nanga_tp @SilverSpecial44 @BanButterfly In South Africa and just like anywhere undocumented migration is a problem. And it needs to be solved. Rather than channelling the energy and holding govt from distrust/provincial accountable, you taking laws into your hands. Kicking both document and undocumented

[Almustaqim Balogun - Global Diplomat @AlmustaqimB]

@nanga_tp @SilverSpecial44 @BanButterfly The fight against apartheid was a continental collective struggle. Brave South African men and women who stood against apartheid, supported with resources, diplomacy and wide ranging support from African countries. Average Nigerian paid taxes in their country to help South Africa

@nanga_tp @SilverSpecial44 @BanButterfly This is a very bias take and is shaped from your prejudice. Itvisn’t about undocumented now, even both documented. Channeling failure of gov’t towards people you think you got power over - black migrant. Human tendencies. Why not white migrants?

@RidwanuLlah Flying as low as possible is the most effective way for warplanes to avoid radar based air defences. They are largely just vulnerable to man-pads (which are often shoulder fired)

On #Iran - #US #Israel war, “Weaker armies win by fighting asymmetrically, and outlasting the will of their attackers to fight”

Just like we’ve seen in Vietnam, Ukraine and all, we are likely to see it in Iran.

My friend moved to Cape Town to school. Whenever she steps out to get simple groceries, you'll think she's on vacation. The entire Nigeria combined is not half as beautiful as Cape Town.

I grew up wanting to “change the world”. Now I’m in a career that interconnects to majority of global issues. And I may as well help in doing that
