@SizweDhlomo can you please help me here bruv, if you get caught on a roadblock bit intoxicated how bad can it go

@JesseKellyDC Completely shutting down immigration could hurt the economy and innovation more than it helps; managing it smartly works far better than closing the country.

Thank you to those that genuinely made efforts to secure our timely return from South Africa and to those that prayed and hoped for our safe return as well. A lot of narratives are being peddled and I feel let down and disappointed that Nigerian Authorities joined in supporting these convenient false narratives and wrongful profiling. The events that transpired are not an isolated occurence and this experience is not new hence I’m surprised that myself and other Nigerians are now being scapegoated without even given the benefit of doubt by people and organisations meant to protect Nigerian citizens abroad. Let me state clearly that no Nigerian official reached out privately or publicly to any of us to even ask for our side of the story or for us to explain our experiences YET tweets and official statements were made. I understand the need to keep things diplomatic but it was a disservice not even hearing our detailed ordeal before assessing the facts and then making a statement. Basically Nigerian authorities heard one side of the story, profiled us and particularly me based on looks and probably social status and made conclusions that South Africans are now capitalising on. I have no power or anything to fight you or counter your position but I know what I went through and what I was subjected to. Regardless thank you for your efforts but next time try hear both side of the story and get the facts before making public statements @nidcom_gov @abikedabiri Let me make it categorically clear that at no point did any South African immigration official make reference or ask me anything about my social media. Let me also make it categorically clear that the issue was not even about my visa which clearly invalidate the use of agents for the application. Even at that, when did it become an error for one to use agents in making a visa application ?, this is the route most Nigerians use but now it is one of the reasons for our ordeal when that was not even the issue at all. Let’s pretend my social media was the issue and they had me on a watchlist, so why did they grant the visa then?, clearly there was an agenda then and I would be embarrassed as planned and yes they achieved this aim. Someone is on your watchlist YET you gave him visa - make it make sense. Every country has the right to deny entry even with a valid visa and I did not have an issue with this as it is their right. The issue was the harrasment, the inhuman treatment that the immigration lady held her stapler and wanted to throw it at me, the harsh words which were extended to Nigerians as well but I’m the issue, all is well. My compatriot Jamal @odesanmijamal_ who travelled a day ahead of me was held for over a day with his phones seized and when we arrived at their mini detention space as well and saw him, I feared for myself as he was clearly mistreated and they chased him away when he tried to come to us to use our phone to communicate as they had seized his phone the day before and only returned it when they asked him to call someone in South Africa to send money for his feeding and an hour before they placed him on a flight back home more than 24 hours after. He got there 6am Saturday but his phone came back fully to him around 3pm on Sunday but you want me to keep calm and not be alarmed ?. I hope everyone knows that lack of information and appropriate communication from immigration authorities in such ordeal would make one feel agitated and unsafe coupled with direct insults on my person and nationality which was extended to 3 other Nigerians right beside me. Walk in my shoes before you judge me. The Airbnb excuse was shocking and irrelevant as I had a valid Airbnb booking with the contact details on it which was not even requested nor did they make attempt to contact or clarify such reservation. @Morris_Monye @Wizarab10 @instablog9ja @gameintel9ja @abikedabiri @47kasz @pbtips_ @mrmacaroni 1.

Nigerian rapper Scooby Nero boasts of owning multiple RDPs which he rents out to South African families Nigerian-born rapper, currently living in South Africa for over a decade Scooby Nero has claimed on social media that he owns multiple RDP houses in South Africa and rents them out to local families. RDP houses are government-built homes provided under South Africa’s Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP), a policy introduced in 1994 after apartheid.They were meant to give poor and previously disadvantaged South Africans access to basic housing, especially people who had been denied property ownership under apartheid. These houses are typically small, free-standing units built on serviced land, and are given free of charge to qualifying beneficiaries, usually low-income citizens who have never owned property before. The artist, whose real name is Chibuzor Nelson Nwankwo, has been living in South Africa for several years and built a name for himself in underground hip-hop circles, particularly in the Eastern Cape and Gauteng. In a now widely shared post, Scooby Nero didn’t hold back. “Nigerians done buy 80% of RDP houses finish. Your parents pay rent to me, while you are threatening me on Facebook. I am about to evict your family,” he wrote. Scooby Nero later doubled down, claiming his comments were a response to ongoing hate directed at Nigerians living in South Africa. He suggested he was being targeted unfairly and lashed out at critics, framing the issue as part of a broader wave of xenophobia. The uproar comes at a tense time, following reports of the controversial and allegedly illegal crowning of a “Nigerian king” in Gompo, outside East London an incident that has already raised questions about foreign nationals establishing unofficial authority structures in local communities. buzzlifenews.com
