In other words what you are again insinuating is that it is very unusual for "Black" SA's to leave their country to places where they have no family support. White SA's do this all the time and no one finds it strange how they have left in droves carrying their skills or adventurous spirits.

As mentioned earlier, the reason it seems unusual is because of the perception that most black SA's have become accustomed to as regards the rest of Africa and so it is difficult to fathom that one would move from a SA to say Ghana

morpheus24:

As I mentioned earlier Africanbabe, you need to take that leap of faith and go. You will become a better person for it when you remove yourself from your comfort zone and venture out. There are risks to moving to Nigeria but I am not too worried about you because you have already been there before and are not totally clueless of where you are going to.

PS worse case scenario, if you get in trouble your embassy is situated somewhere off Ajose Adeogun in Victoria island, Take a taxi there, show them your passport or speak strong Tswana or fanagalore to them and you are on a one way ticket back to OR tambo

Pidgin2:


I don't know if you know how annoying and condescending you South Africans seem on this thread? Honestly, if you ever try putting on this attitude if anything brings you down to Nigeria, I trust my people, they will remind you that we saved your sorry ass' from white supremacists in your country.

Stop this unnecessary interrogations Zulu being and stop spoiling this thread. Go away from here to your South African/Zulu natal blogs, stop this xenophobia stuff and GETOUT of here pls.

ZarZar:


Why does it bother you? Am I asking you questions? You're the one that's making this all about your discomfort, as if I give a damn. You get the hell out of the thread if you don't like our presence in it. Just like you, we're also curious about the topic that's being discussed & have every right to be on this thread , so don't sit there calling the shots as if you're something important on NL.

Hello afrikanbabe. Good thing you want to experience the Nigerian culture and possibly have a life here. Anybody can thrive here, we do not discriminate.. infact We are very welcoming to foreigners. But a jobseeker here? I'll advice you to be very careful, you can't be trusting. Research deeper about the lagos environment/life before you take that leap. Good thing some people have given you Job sites.

It's unfortunate the way your fellow nationals are subtly trying to discourage you and making condescending remarks about Nigeria. I'm happy you've been here, seen our 'madness' and hold no prejudice about nigeria. whatever you choose to do, I wish you the best.

madjune:


It's well.
I'm praying for you. Amen.

DAPMAN601:
Hello, you might try to do a job search on WWW.NEUVOO.COM. There is a comprehensive list of almost all the jobs openings in Nigeria there.

morpheus24:


I am not answering for, I am analyzing the statements and inquisitions by her fellow comrade and offering an opinion ergo I can quote any response to put my responses in context.

If you don't like it, well I can't do much about that.

afrikanbabe:


Hey Pidgin2. It's real embarrassing this type of ignorance shown. They were hyped up in the morning trying to "understand" my story. It's unfortunate. Plus, this is a forum built by a Nigerian. Why are they on it if it gives them such headache. I repeat, they need to open their minds.

One love

ZarZar:


Well, analyse this: butt out! I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to her, comrade to comrade as you put it. If there's a person that should be analyzing my comment to her, it's her!

It's not that curious case if you read and find out what is happening in the world. If you have the chance, travel too. It opens one's mind. Don't judge what you don't understand

Jayceon:
lol as if we don't already know you are a Nigerian hahahaha

Haha Thixo wa se George Goch

ZarZar:


It's not a matter of judgment but different perspectives I guess. Look, I'll leave this right here because it's no point trying to understand everything, until maybe I find myself in the same situation where I fall in love with another country or whatever. For now there's still a lot of questions, out of sheer curiosity & also to try make sense of things. Waste of time so let me back out.

Jayceon:

Pidgin2:


Get lost please, rubbish. It's only someone who lacks discernment that won't see through the condescending attitude in you and your questions

Gerawayu!

Pidgin2:


Make sense of what, that it's not only your country people want to migrate to, that a South African wants to migrate to Nigeria? You don't think this line of thought is condescending especially as you are on a Nigerian forum

afrikanbabe:


Zarzar. No hard feelings. It's all about the attitude you were showing, of which I responded in the morning. You and the other SA peeps were condescending, questioning my motives, even typing in Zulu so as to overstand 'my case'. It's really not that deep. I'm a proud South African lady, born and bred, that will be living in Lagos soon. It's a move I've once taken. Not new to me. If anything, take it as some sort of motivation to see Africa too. The world is your oyster.

ZarZar:



And I'm still wondering how it concerns you. You're not the creator of this thread nor was any of the "condescending " directed at you. So why don't you see yourself out? The nerve of telling me I should leave a thread that you didn't even create. Who do you think you are? I'll leave when the OP tells me to leave, even then, I still won't leave if I don't want to. You don't call the shots, boo boo.

Pidgin2:



Get lost, I'm a Nigerian and I have xenophobia for SA'ns like you.

Pidgin2:



Get lost, I'm a Nigerian and I have xenophobia for SA'ns like you.

ZarZar:


No. Your feelings about me are your problem. I could care less. Being hated by you means absolutely nothing to me.

Lionessza:












Wena this Xenophobe is going to get you deported from nairaland, becareful .

ZarZar:


None of your business what I'm trying to make sense of

ZarZar:


It's funny because she keeps pointing out that other people are xenophes, while she's also showing signs of a hater.

morpheus24:


If you were sharp upstairs it is easy to make sense of.

Case in point why has there been an increase in SA's going to Nigeria to visit SCOAN, TB joshua church. In a country that cannot even keep its electricity on or pipe born water, 84 SA's killed in a crashed building, any sane person would not travel there for any sensible reason, yet watching or hearing about this individual they are still eager to travel there. What is curious about that motive

Case in point a SA lady who has worked, visited and lived in lagos Nigeria for some time is considering moving back for what she deems an indefinite amount of time. She is familiar with the culture, the lingo and the people. What is strange or curious about that motive?

We can see through your innuendos my dear.

ZarZar:


No, that's good enough. Thanks. Well, good luck this time around. Hope it goes well for you. All the best

ZarZar:


Lol @ if I was sharp upstairs & then go on to give me an example about religious people. The irony!

Lionessza:











I told her earlier how much of a hypocrite she is. Mxm anyways, how's your day? .

morpheus24:


??

and the correct grammer is "If I were"
