@Barristerstreet This anarchy will not stop with the migrants. When this band of roving lunatics and done with them they’ll turn on fellow citizens. Welcome to the mutual assured destruction (MAD) that’ll consume that country soon.

🇳🇬🇿🇦 "I'm a legal immigrant. I have spent over 13 years building a business in South Africa, creating jobs and training more than 20 South Africans. I pay my dues and have all the necessary documents. If the government asks me to leave, I will. But I won't be driven out by threats or mob pressure. Ironically, many of those demanding that immigrants leave are unwilling or unable to take over the businesses and responsibilities they want us to abandon." — Nigerian businessman in South Africa

In 1999, a 16-year-old girl from Enugu, Nigeria won a green card lottery with her mother and moved to the United States. 27 years later, she painted the Obamas. The green card lottery. Think about that. Her name is Njideka Akunyili Crosby. Her mother, Dora Akunyili, was a professor of pharmacology who would later become one of Nigeria's most celebrated public servants, the woman who went to war against counterfeit drugs as NAFDAC Director General. But in the late 1990s, Dora was just a mother who wanted her children to have options. She entered the US Diversity Immigrant Visa Program. The lottery. She won. In 1999, 16-year-old Njideka packed her things. Said goodbye to Enugu, to Lagos, to the life she'd always known. She moved to America with her sister Ijeoma. She took a gap year. Studied for her SATs. Took American history classes. Then returned to Nigeria for National Youth Service. Then came back to the US to start again. She took her first oil painting class at a community college in Philadelphia. Her teacher Jeff Reed saw something. He pushed her to apply to Swarthmore College. She got in. She studied biology and art. She met a Texan named Justin Crosby and eventually married him. She went to Yale for her MFA. She built a career that redefined contemporary art. And on June 14, 2026, 27 years after that green card lottery win, she stood in Chicago and watched Barack and Michelle Obama see their faces in her painting for the very first time. A lottery ticket. A Philadelphia community college. The Obama Presidential Center. Nigeria does not produce ordinary people.

@dipoaina1 @BBCAfrica @cnnbrk @ARISEtv @channelstv @aonanuga1956 @SundayDareSD @abikedabiri @Ojukwu_Bianca @MinOfInteriorNG @AJEnglish This is a lawless, wild country. How could ordinary individuals band themselves together to make their own laws. South Africa will end up in flames very shortly.

I told you guys that this South African Xenophobic mobs are not after illegals, they after all black Africans including the legal ones that own businesses. === This Nigerian man has his legal documents He has been paying tax for 13 years He operates 2-3 businesses in SA He employed 20 South Africans. Yet those lazy xenophobic rascals are planning on looting and burning 🔥 down his businesses.

You said: Typical Jobs occupied by illegal or undocumented immigrants in South Africa. In the jobs already occupied by undocumented immigrants, South Africans are readily substitutable one for one and like for like. Why is political intervention needed in the labor markets where undocumented immigrants operate? Can South Africans take the same jobs as illegal immigrants without political force? Is there empirical evidence to suggest that if 95% of illegal immigrants are totally removed from RSA, then black South Africans will get jobs and the economic prospects of the black population will improve? Undocumented immigrants in South Africa predominantly work in the informal economy, agriculture, hospitality, domestic services, construction, and informal retail or street vending. Substitutability: One-for-One and Like-for-Like South Africans are not readily substitutable for undocumented workers on a pure "like-for-like" basis under current market conditions. Wage and Rights Asymmetry: Undocumented workers lack recourse to labor protections, allowing exploitative employers to pay them well below the National Minimum Wage. South African citizens, protected by the Basic Conditions of Employment Act and labor unions, cannot legally or practically accept these sub-minimum standards. Working Conditions: Undocumented laborers often endure hyper-exploitative environments, including excessive working hours and zero job security. South Africans are not structurally "like-for-like" because they operate within a framework of legal rights that rejects these illegal conditions. Need for Political InterventionPolitical and state intervention in these labor markets is necessary because the issue is a failure of statutory compliance, not a natural economic equilibrium.┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Employers Evading Labor Law │ └───────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────┘ ▼ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Create Artificial Preference for Undocumented Workers │ └───────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────┘ ▼ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Depress Sectoral Wages & Displace Local Job Seekers │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Enforcing the Rule of Law: Employers knowingly bypass the Immigration Act and labor laws to secure cheap labor. Government intervention via entities like the Department of Employment and Labour is required to penalize non-compliant businesses rather than just targeting the vulnerable workers. Leveling the Playing Field: State intervention through blitz inspections forces employers to pay the legal minimum wage. This eliminates the artificial financial incentive to hire undocumented individuals over locals. Can South Africans Take These Jobs Without Political Force? No, South Africans cannot realistically claim these jobs without state intervention to enforce labor compliance. If the state does not use regulatory force against exploitative employers, the hiring baseline remains unacceptably low. Local citizens cannot underbid undocumented workers who are forced by survival to accept sub-poverty wages, meaning South Africans will continue to be structurally excluded from these positions. Empirical Evidence on 95% Mass RemovalThere is no empirical evidence to suggest that a 95% total removal of undocumented immigrants would systematically solve unemployment or automatically lift the economic prospects of black South Africans. No Structural Link to Mass Unemployment: Research institutions like the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) and the World Bank show that structural factors—such as lack of industrial growth, energy crises, and skills mismatches—drive South Africa's high unemployment, rather than immigrant presence. Destruction of the Informal Supply Chain: Empirical analyses, including studies by the OECD and ILO, demonstrate that immigrant networks often create downstream jobs for locals via township spaza shops and informal trading. Removing them entirely would cause localized economic contractions. Capital Flight and Business Closure: Rather than replacing undocumented workers with locals at a higher cost, many low-margin businesses in farming and hospitality would simply shut down or mechanize, resulting in a net loss of total available jobs in the economy. ✅ ConclusionEmpirical economic data shows that mass deportation will not cure structural unemployment; resolving South Africa's job crisis requires strict state enforcement against law-breaking employers alongside deep macroeconomic adjustments.

Fake Granites in Ala Ibo Ibos in Owerri sold 30 tons of granite half of it was a baked clay 😭😭 The contractor negotiated 850k for 30 tons, he insisted that it must be black stone, the agents then asked him to add an extra 30k totaling 880k. Finally he got Fake Granites mixed with original

St. Abo of Tbilisi, one of the OG ex-Muslim Christians. He was killed for choosing Jesus over Islam. Born an Arab Muslim in the 8th century, Abo encountered Christianity and spent YEARS studying the faith before making his decision. He knew exactly what conversion could cost him. When authorities demanded that he return to Islam, he refused. He was arrested and eventually executed for his faith in Christ. More than 1,200 years later, his story remains a powerful reminder that following Jesus has never been the easy path.

When people leave Islam and are asked why, they usually talk about the violence, the treatment of women, Muhammad’s marriages. All of it is true, and any one of these is reason enough to walk away from Islam. But if you ask me what finally broke my faith twenty years ago, I wouldn’t point to any of these. In fact, I don’t condemn Muhammad and his companions for living the life that was the norm in their time, if anything, I condemn the sanctification of that life, and its transmission down through the ages as religion. It wasn’t any of these that made me throw the Quran, literally, into the garbage in my parents’ house that night. It was something called the occasions of revelation. Read this article and pass it along to a Muslim friend. I can't really see how anyone stays a Muslim after reading it. Link in the comments.

☢️ IF TEHRAN HAD ANY DOUBTS ABOUT WHETHER IT NEEDED A NUCLEAR DETERRENT, THOSE DOUBTS ARE GONE Anyone who thinks the Iranian regime will simply give up its nuclear ambitions is delusional. Maybe they won’t manufacture the weapon inside Iran. But they have allies. Pakistan has nuclear weapons. China has nuclear weapons. Russia has nuclear weapons. North Korea has nuclear weapons. And after this war, if Tehran had any doubts about whether it needed a nuclear deterrent, those doubts are gone. The regime now believes it faces an existential threat. And regimes that believe they face an existential threat do everything in their power to survive. That is the North Korea model. Nobody is seriously talking about overthrowing North Korea anymore. Why? Because it has nuclear weapons. That is exactly the lesson Tehran will take from this war. And that is the danger of this “deal.” One day, the world may wake up to the announcement that the Iranian regime has tested its first nuclear weapon — and by then, they may already have a hidden stockpile behind it. That will be the legacy of pretending the regime can be negotiated out of its survival strategy.

little respect, a massive smile. 🥺❤️ This sweet little girl saluting a soldier is the purest thing you’ll see today!😍💚

Somethings might look impossible but you see this right here, it's so real i swear

@45Yusz @eternalbread_ Only a sense deprived human will believe a pedophile, lying murderer, bestial sexual pervert could speak on God’s behalf.

@eternalbread_ Nice 1 man worshipper . only people who have 0 common sense and Logic believe a man can be God. 0 logic

St. Ahmed was a 17th-century Muslim Ottoman official who LEFT ISLAM and converted to CHRISTIANITY. He noticed how transformed his Christian slaves were after attending church. Curious, he started investigating Christianity for himself. He decided to secretly attend a Divine Liturgy. During the service, he witnessed a miracle that convinced him Christianity was true. Afterward, he sought baptism and became a Christian. His conversion eventually became known. One day, while discussing religion with other officials, he reportedly declared that there was nothing greater than the Christian faith. That statement led to his arrest. He was brought before Ottoman authorities, given opportunities to return to Islam, and ultimately refused. He was tortured and then beheaded in Constantinople on May 3, 1682.

The xenophobic attacks and killings targeting Black African immigrants in South Africa continue with the apparent blessing of the South African government. What makes these atrocities even more harrowing is that the police are frequently present at the scenes, either supervising the attacks and killings or standing idly by as innocent lives are brutally taken, without any real effort to protect the vulnerable.

Viewers discretion advised ⚠️ A mob of Xenophobic jobless black South Africans are seemingly beating this African immigrant shop owner to death. Apparently, he has some kind of paper that shows he is legal in the country. The interesting part of all these Xenophobia attacks is that the world can clearly see that South Africa government are complicit.

Washington betrayed the Kurds, abandoned the Druze and the Christians in Syria, and installed an ISIS government, all to benefit from Saudi Arabia and Qatar. And now Washington has betrayed the Christians in Lebanon and abandoned Israel to benefit from Iran. Don’t tell me it’s fine for the US to chase nothing but its own interests. First, if you’re the strongest nation on Earth, you’re morally obligated to look beyond your own narrow gain. Second, the wolves the US threw the minorities of the Middle East to will come to hunt in the West too.

@LugileK The best of Nigeria are not the lowlifes who came your to your country to peddle illicit drugs. When those are the Nigerians you mixed with and from whom you form your opinion about 200 million others, how a miserable lowlife must yourself really be?

Jacinta Ngobese Zuma is not given up. The drive in her voice about Nigerians. Abahambe for free

@nsimacoaching The outcome of this type of conversation will be disastrous post 2027 except people pull back and allow reason to prevail. But Lagos has been here before. Some people were so emboldened with their numbers that they decided to claim Ajegunle. Don’t claim what’s not yours.

For educational Purposes only: Why are Ibos so desperate to claim same right with Yorubas in Lagos?

Imagine, for a moment, that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had not initiated the evacuation of Nigerians from South Africa. The ensuing outcry on social media would likely have been immense. Currently, there is a notable silence across these platforms. Notably, individuals associated with the "ObiEdiots" movement have remained uncharacteristically quiet, and their presidential candidate, @PeterObi Obi, has not issued any public statements on the matter. Similarly, @ruffydfire D Fire and @seunokin Okin have also refrained from commenting, which is quite surprising. We extend our sincere gratitude to President Tinubu, the minister who undertook the mission, and our esteemed compatriot, Abike Dabiri. Your efforts are greatly appreciated and deserve significant commendation. Lazy online beggar @Verydakman_. @officialABAT @abikedabiri @STinubu @SenRemiTinubu @OfficialAPCNg @KashimSM @femigbaja

Black South Africans don’t realise what a nightmare is up ahead for them….the poverty that is waiting. It’s so deep.

@BaltimorePeace Thanks. I’m an Ife aficionado. Made in Ife. Married from Ife. Married at Ife.

@bode_maxwell It is pavement made with pot sherds.

When you were only trying to open a 1x1 m test pit to verify an hypothesis, and you find a pavement that looks like nothing documented to date... Ile-Ife for you! Always calling for more!
