This recent flare up of xenophobic violence in South Africa has made Nigerians quite angry. @afrispheric reckons South Africans are pointing fingers in the wrong direction.
Do see below:
Man, as a creature, always find a way to vent frustration and anger
Same with societies as a whole

More often than not, such societal anger is directed towards real or imagined causes of d anger & frustration
More often d imagined source

We saw (still seeing) this in a post recession Europe, where immigrants are potrayed as the job stealing bogeyman
Same in Trumps' U.S.A

The same thing has happened & is still happening in South Africa with the Xenophobic attacks against (African) immigrants
— afrispheric (@afrispheric) February 24, 2017
South Africans, as an example, have conveniently forgotten that black majority rule under ANC has NOT delivered
But immigrants r d problem.

The Xenophobic attacks in South Africa is a form of escapism for these people
They chose not to face the reality of a failed government …

The black South African needs to ask him/herself some tough questions
Like, why are thing not working since Apartheid fell?

Why can an immigrant come into SA and start a successful legit business but a local struggles to do so?
— afrispheric (@afrispheric) February 24, 2017
I know two Nigerians with legit investment in SA. One has a portfolio of abt 15 buy to let properties in South Africa
But blame immigrants

I suspect it a TV license like we have in the U.K
Anyway, man told the store can he pay them to get it for him. Man is very busy dude

The man said he left & said imagine if it was in Alaba intl market he'd gone to
They'll say "Oga wait, make I go get the license for you"

Who remembers when South Africa tried that silly Yellow Fever certificate nonsense?
When NGR retaliated, they came begging…

Maybe it is time for a little arm twisting
Osinbajo should send immigration to MTN, Shoprite, etc & deport a number of South Africans…

This what the GEJ admin did during that Yellow fever saga…
South Africa "behaved"…

Disappointed that the current govt is handling the current situation ineptly … https://t.co/oef143sPVo

South Africa's "Rainbow Nation" is a fantasy.
Africans should abandon fantasies like "Africa Rising" and "Rainbow Nation" & face reality.

Statements like this make one feel that Nigeria was stupid to help this country.
What did we gain from helping them, Liberia e.t.c? https://t.co/FiYRN8Kp1r
