"We cannot carry the burden of every single failed African president." – Jacinta Ngobese.
She is calm. She is logical. And she is right.
"The community is not wrong for demanding that the law be implemented."
"If genuine asylum seekers need help, the government must provide refugee camps ..; not dump them in our communities."
"We have never advocated for violence. All we've ever said is: enforce the laws."
"African leaders must sit down and be honest, instead of going on red carpets while their citizens suffer."
"A passport must mean something. Coming here illegally and getting jobs? That is not acceptable."
She is not saying close the borders to everyone. She is saying: enforce the law. Prioritise South Africans. Hold other governments accountable.
American: So there are terrorists causing problems in your country, right?
Nigerian: Yes.
American: That's terrible. Is the government at least doing something about it?
Nigerian: Well, our president addressed the issue.
American: Oh. What did he say?
Nigerian: He spoke about the law of lawf in the holy book
American: ...The law of love?
Nigerian: I guess
American: Okay. Did you send the military after them?
Nigerian: Hmm... at times.
American: What do you mean "at times"?
Nigerian: Sometimes we've heard the military went after them. In some cases, the terrorists ended up killing military personnel.
American: Wait. They killed your soldiers?
Nigerian: Yes.
American: Okay, so then your government retaliated and finished them off, right?
Nigerian: Mm... nah.
American: What do you mean "nah"?
Nigerian: Well, our president also gave an example from the Bible about the prodigal son on how we should accept them with love.
American: Hold on. The prodigal son?
Nigerian: Yes.
American: I'm confused. So you're telling me terrorists killed military personnel, and the response was a Bible lesson?
Nigerian: Something like that.
American: So you guys aren't doing anything?
Nigerian: No, no. We're doing something.
American: Okay. What are you doing?
Nigerian: We're rehabilitating the ones we catch.
American: You're... rehabilitating them?
Nigerian: Yes.
American: Not prosecuting them?
Nigerian: Not according to our president, no.
American: WTF WTF WTF
Nigerian: I never even tell you anything, you don dey cry
Is it a coincidence that SA 🇿🇦 and Ireland 🇮🇪 have at almost the same exact time gone to the streets for the same issue?
I wonder what they’ve done recently to piss off a small country that’s just IS not REAL..
Great breakdown by the way…
See the way they are celebrating SA losing a game, the day they hear South Africa is no longer a functioning state they will do the same. Guard your country with all you have, they can always go back to theirs, where will you go?
When your country lost the opening game of the #FIFAWorldCup match against Mexico, so your friends try to cheer you up by asking you if you wanna round up any Nigerians in your country, and have them arrested
