A WARNING FOR THE FOREIGN MINISTER AND PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA by Femi Fani-Kayode @realFFK
"I would appreciate them in helping us as well to address the belief our people have and the reality that there are many persons from Nig dealing in drugs in our country"- Dr. Grace Naledi

Mandisa Pandor, South African Minister of International Relations.

Is this the sort of thing that ought to be said by the South African Government when we are still in mourning and when we have not even buried our compatriots that were cruelly slain, bludgeoned to death and cut

to pieces in the streets of South Africa?

At a time when this irresponsible, insensitive, shameless, conflicted, self-hating, pitiful and mendacious creature that calls herself the Foreign Minister of South Africa should be apologising to the Nigerian people for the mindless

savagery and barbarity of her blood-crazed compatriots, she is pointing accusing fingers at their victims and the objects of their collective hate and seeking to demonise them. What have we done to deserve this? First you kill us then you seek to justify it and criminalise us!

Does this she-devil of a Foreign Minister really believe that innocent Nigerian men, women and children should be butchered at will in the streets of South Africa by bloodthirsty and bestial mobs?

Worse still does she think it is right and proper that this is done with

the full endorsement and support of both the South African Government and police? Is that the way forward? Is that the way to build bridges in Africa and enhance peace and stability on the continent?

Can such behaviour be justified or defended under any circumstances?

What would she do or think if the Nigerian Government and people decided to reciprocate and mete the same treatment out to South Africans that reside in Nigeria and South African companies that are situated here?
@realFFK @BBCAfrica

In any case how many of those that were butchered over the years were drug dealers? If it is true that as many Nigerians deal in drugs as she has suggested, why can't the South African Government apprehend, arrest and prosecute them and send them to jail rather than demonise

, misrepresent, target and kill innocent and defenceless Nigerians?

This is a clear case of racial stereotyping and a squalid and shameful attempt to justify hate, racism, xenophobia, self-hate, black on black violence and mass murder.

Permit me to educate the South African Foreign Minister and to set the record straight.

There are thousands of Nigerian professionals, academics, lecturers, intellectuals, businessmen, teachers, scientists, engineers and doctors in your country working hard, doing a great job

And contributing massively to ur development & economy.
D fact that ur people hate Nigerians and enjoy killing us has nothing to do with drugs, human-trafficking or drug-trafficking. It is because your people are hateful, ignorant, xenophobic, lazy, racist and envious of ours.

& d few irresponsible Nigerians that go to South Africa & indulge in terrible and unforgivable crimes like drug and human-trafficking and gang-related violence do so only because your people have a terrible weakness,an undue fascination & an insatiable appetite for hard drugs,

alcohol,prstitues,men & women of easy virtue,d dark,ugly & wild side of life. It is there4 not surprising dat S A has,4 d beta part of d last 25 years,been described as d "world's capital 4 homicide" & d country wit d"highest no of pple dat ve been afflicted with HIV AIDS!"

Rather than work hard,like their Nigerians counterparts,South Africans prefer to go to sleazy & cheap nightclubs,to gamble on gaming machines and poker tables,to drink huge amounts of beer,to take massive amounts of hard drugs and to stay at home,watch television & sleep.

They are not particularly gud at anything except singing beautiful songs & killing their fellow Africans.
It is 4 this singular reason ,dat their women love & respect Nigerian men & have nothing but contempt for their own. Generally-speaking Nigerian men are strong, productive,

virile, focused, courageous, industrious, adventurous and hard-working with a touch of arrogance and they excel in all their ways. Sadly the average South African male does not possess these virtues or qualities.

It does not stop there. For the better part of the last 50 years Nigeria has been the major military and economic power in Africa and we have used our wealth, power and influence wisely and expeditiously to the advantage of many countries on the continent.

For example,had it not been 4 us d minority white Boers wud still b ruling over d black South Africans and apartheid would still have been firmly in place.
We nationalised British Petroleum and Barclays Bank because of them in the late 1970's and thereby compelled the British

to accept our demand of black majority rule in South Africa and Zimbabwe and to stop supporting apartheid and white minority governments.We are far ahead of South Africa in terms of education and virtually every other sphere of human endeavour and we have opened up our country

for them to come and invest in without any pre-conditions, obstacles or trade barriers.

Today Nigeria is by far the biggest market for their expertise, products, goods and services and if that market were to ever be closed to them or if their companies were nationalised

it would affect their economy enormously.

The truth is that they benefit far more from and make far more money from us today than we benefit and make money from them.

In a trade war they have far more to lose than we do because not that many Nigerian companies have

invested heavily in and operate in South Africa whilst many South African companies have invested heavily in and operate in Nigeria.

As a matter of fact some of those companies make more money from the Nigerian market and their Nigerian operations than they do in the whole of

the rest of Africa put together.

That is what we have offered and given them and yet they have offered and given us next to nothing in return. All we get from them are insults, violence and heartache!

Historically and in every other way they are very much our juniors.

Our people were educated at Oxford, Cambridge and the very best universities in the world since 1860. South African blacks never went to a real university until the 1990's after aparthied fell.
