Opinion: Why Nigerians Will Never Leave South Africa, By ‘Tope Fasua

Today it seems that Nigerians who live in South Africa are somewhat contrite as they realise that it is perhaps much better for them to remain in South Africa than come back home. Some of those interviewed stated clearly that the standard of living in most of South Africa is far better than in most places within Nigeria.

It is correct that the savage history between the blacks and whites in South Africa still plays out today in the high crime rate on the streets of many South African cities and the seeming predilection to violence of the average, neglected South African poor. There is also a proliferation of light weapons on the streets of South Africa, the availability of which facilitates the often fatal high crime rates.

There was the building of hundreds of hostels for South Africans who came from far flung villages to work in cities like Johannesburg, Cape Town, Pretoria and others. There are over 605,000 rooms in these hostels, which today house some of the roughest, poorest South Africans. A lot of the rioters and looters actually reside in these hostels.

So, that is why I am against the continued disturbance of the South African space by Nigerians claiming a sense of entitlement, and if they may remain, they need to learn to really shut up and appreciate the privilege of living in an organised society. For their emigration out of this country means they have left some of us to struggle with these absurdities, when we all should be here solving the problem together.
