I don't understand the whole ruse about South Africa by Nigerians.
Yes, xenophobia is bad, if they have to resort to Xenophobic attacks to get you out of their country it means they really don't need you in their country.
Get the fuck out of their country and use your genius ideas that helped develop South Africa to develop Nigeria.
Of course, you will never question yourself for why they are so hell-bent on kicking you out. Of course, they are just bad people and you are the good guys.
You are such awesome people that not only South Africans hate you, but most European countries also hate to see your passport, the United States also tightened its immigration policy because of you and Somalia.
Other African countries hate you and of course, they are all wrong and jealous of your tremendous success.
You are brilliant and tend to be very successful, but the only place you can not replicate your success is back home in Nigeria.
Everyone hates Nigeria and everyone on earth is a terrible person for hating Nigerians the all saints and chosen people of Africa.
The Jews of Africa.
The shameless self-imposed giant of Africa.
Let me educate you not with anger, but with truth. You assume South Africans lack exposure. You assume we believe other African countries are poor and undeveloped. That is not the case. We know the reality. We know Nigeria has oil. We know Ghana has gold. We know Kenya has tech. We know Botswana has diamonds. We know Zambia has copper. We know Zimbabwe has platinum and lithium. We know the DRC sits on $24 trillion in minerals. We know Africa is rich.
But here is what you do not understand, wealth beneath the ground does not translate to prosperity above it. You can have all the minerals in the world but if your leaders steal, your constitutions hostile towards humans rights, if your institutions are corrupt, if your people are divided by tribe, if your healthcare collapses, if your schools crumble, if your youth flee then you are poor. Not in resources. In governance. In accountability. In dignity.
We do not look down on Africa. We look at the mirror Africa refuses to face. We see our own flaws corruption, unemployment, crime and we fight them. We protest. We vote. We demand better. That is what makes us different. We do not run. We stay. We build. We hold our leaders accountable, even when it hurts.
You say we lack exposure. But we see you. We see your leaders flying overseas to get treated, some in our country to get medical treatment, while your children starve. We see your ports exporting raw minerals while your people have no jobs. We are not blind. We are not ignorant. We are honest.
The difference between South Africa and many other African countries is not wealth. It is the willingness to confront failure. We own ours. You run from yours. That is not a lack of exposure. That is a lack of accountability. And until you fix that, no mineral, no resource, no tweet will save you. Go home. Fix your house. Then talk to us about exposure.
Unless Touchline is on the path for a national/continental hit, rappers like him are greatly appreciated in the rap game, some reflection music, some relatable music, real rap music.
Not every rapper needs a "hit (commercial hit)" , there's us who appreciate him & think he GOAT
