- Hey guys, in this video I’ll be discussing some funny and also some annoying assumptions/ stereotypes about Nigerians living in South Africa.
I hope this video educates and enlightens you all.
Thanks
Shaz.
If we can agree that there are Nigerian who do bad things in South Africa, as much there are South African who commit crime. We don't have to deny like most people from Nigeria.
One way to solve a problem is to admit there is one
So since there are South Africans who do bad things in SA that gives foreigners a right to come here and add on our high crime or what do you really mean?
South Africans doing bad in Nigeria or South Africa?
@@lozi4163 this ppl are brainless, if there are SAcn doing bad in SA it does not mean Nigerians should also come do bad things too
It's bad to take your dirtiness to someone else's house though . When I was younger I used to spit a lot due to that there's someone in my hood who used to that and I tend to adopt it and my mother denounced me to visit my uncle's house for that which is from the next town thanks to that I stopped that habit till today I don't spit randomly .
The thing about reputation is that it is hard to build, easy to lose and even harder to regain. We, both countries suffer from this. Nigeria has a worldwide reputation for untrustworthiness because of the actions of a few. South Africans are seen to be Xenophobic also due to the actions of a few. There's so much more to Nigeria than the stereotype; it is a complex country with people very diverse and dynamic. Black South Africans are called lazy and all sorts of names but the history of the struggle for freedom and what's been accomplished in the last 28 years which has been remarkable is seldom given a thought by our continental family in their judgement.
Your being on a platform such as this addressing these issues is helping to educate SAns and others about these matters. The longer we coexist in this country the better things will get. I've got friends from Nigeria, Ghana and Benin Republic.... Keep up the good work 👍
Which action equated to SA being called xenophobic?
However the Nigerian drug And human trafficking issue is real, you can easily go check stats SA
Nice one Jahkaya ❤️
@@AustineAK get a life
We Africans prefer to put each other down rather than uplifting one another.We choose to hate than to love. Until we change this mindset, unity can't be possible. We never ask ourselves, how come the whites never treat each other as such??
@@AustineAK You mean South Africans are sqeaky clean and have no drug dealers? Until you remove that bitter hate inside of you, you will continue to be toxic to your well-being.
I've always been intrigued by Nigerian movies, to be honest they've earned themselves a reputation of black magic, but again they earned themselves a reputation of movies which have lessons and morals. The lesson I learnt in Nigerian movies is simple "Do not let greed or jealousy overpower you".
As long as u keep quiet when others commit crimes we always assume that is ur behavior
Couldn't agree more
Thank you for the education sis. The only things I know about Nigeria is Lagos, Abuja, Yoruba,Igbo, Davido,Wizkid, Burna Boy,etc and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and all the artists in Nollywood. Our country does not teach us African history. We learn about Mandela and Europeans.
Hahaha.. well, we learn everyday right?
@@sharonokorie That's why your channel is attractive. You're honest. We need honest content creators to talk about serious issues. It starts with a conversation. We would learn a lot from each other if we were honest. Divide and conquer was how Africa was colonised. Honest conversations can be the beginning of African unity.
Awww. You love Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie🎉❤❤❤.
I was even checking everyday for your new video. Good to have your smiling face back
Welcome back love ❤️❤️ very detailed video
Where are South Africans interacting with Nigerians though? Just curious coz where I stay people just stick to themselves.
Even in the US they do the same thing. I don't know why.
I’m Nigerian and I agree
This video is viral worthy you mentioned every aspect needed so educating and well informed thank you sis
My queen ayam here for your updates and I'm watching fully as usual. You're most welcome.
This video was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 thé nollywood assumption part got me. Weldone sis. Thanks for sharing
I am Ghanaian and a friend from Zambia asked me the same thing about the juju in our movies . She was so scared to even come to west Africa . Ah ah ! Come on people.
😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm seeing lots of comments about how south Africans see us and the truth is that we have a certain way we see south Africans aswell and it's not in a good way too. I guess the perspective has to be changed
True
💯%!! Funny how people come to defend their nationality on this platform. Disregarding how individuality is more important , trying to sound liberal , 🙄 njani ( how?)
however you see South Africans, you have to admit that you never heard of a woman in Nigeria been raped or killed by a south african men, the opposite cant be said
Oh God how did I miss this 🥹🥹 been on holiday, let me watch now babe 💙💙
Look the good nigerians must stop to blame people who judge them negatively but I think they must blame the bad nigerians who are doing bad stuff in the countries that hosted them. Remember the whole world is complaining about the criminal elements of some of Nigerians is not only here in SA. The So called good behaved nigeria like to say not all Nigerians are bad and by doing that, those bad nigerians feel protect and defended and they won't stop this bad behaviors. My advice is, your focus must be on criticizing those bad ones and expose them.
I will agree with you on that matter.
Not really, were I live nobody complains about us so you’re wrong there.
@@tyaler9805 elaborate further, why you are saying I am wrong, even though I understand your whole statement.
@@lebogangmoeketsi1614 I live in Philly in the US, and no one complains about us doing illegal ish.
@@tyaler9805 you are lying to yourself.
Hi Sharon, New subscriber here….i just came across your channel and i really love and enjoy your contents😍 you are doing so great girl👏
See who decided to show up 🥰 thankfully you came back as you left with that smiley face of yours yes we only know Abuja, Lagos.....🚶
Our country's education does not teach us much about other African countries let alone their history so some of us learn on our own personal time through the internet. Another problem is that the media stimulate stereotypes about immigrants especially Nigerians(news outlets potray Nigerians as criminals that participate in crimes that you've mentioned) fueling the very same xenophobia that we see. I hope that things will better as Africans.
Hey Sharon!
Those Nigerian Movies be doooing tooo much 😆 I haven't watched one in a while!
Interesting mami! Here watching… Like the Title. Yes Laaagos 😅
Sharon, I am a South African but I would like to give you a heads up. There are really bad brothers that are here for drugs, kidnapping & human trafficking. You will find these guys in hillbrow, Randburg, rosettenville & sunny side Pretoria just to name a few places. This is a difficult one because the court of public opinion only register these incidents from the public court roll sources are : newspapers, experiences on the ground, local radio stations, etc. everyday cases of black South Africans. I had two friends from Nigeria who came to do training at SASOL, a petrochemical company in SA. Bimbo & Olire, they were petroleum engineers from Chevron. They also shared the insight, that SA has a lot of bad Nigerians some fled NIGERIA because they did bad things in their villages. It is unfortunate because some South African Police officers are corrupt and Are not capable of removing bad foreigners. The situation is so worse to point that bad South Africans & bad Nigerians are collaborating. Also, be aware South Africans love their country, hence this matter raises temperatures. But hey, it is what is…. . Stay strong, live and connect with South Africans we are hear to support you and your family.
Which evidence can show us that dos kidnappers are Nigeria? Some people claim to be Nigeria of which they are not . Which u don't even investigate before u come out to say they are Nigerians.
Thanks for the educational time
Excellent talented work nice sharing dear friend 🙏
Many many thanks
See who's back!!!💃💃💃
😄😄💃🏻💃🏻
Me kukuma no they believe everything for television 🤣🤣 I enjoyed this topic Sis
Notification gang ❤️❤️🛎🛎🛎

Nice video, nice talk and also good lady
Thank you
😍❤️❤️
Thanks for butressing these points 👏👏
One chilled bottle of Coca-cola for you🥂
And i noticed the ones i met online think all Nigerians are Igbos, because y'all keep going there the most....
Comparison between South African food and Nigerian food , I'd really love to know something along those lines.
Hahhaha I also thought the palace stuffs are really 🤣🤣🤣🤣 laying red carpets for the princesses
😂😂😂
Probably the same way when I go to Nigeria they assume I'm from joburg and I speak the click language (Xhosa) 🤔.. It's a common thing to associate with major cities
Welcome back
Thank you❤️❤️
Perspective is very important as well as experience ... South Africans are raised differently from Nigerians.. of course if you are in RSA the RSA cultures will be more recognized than any other tribe/ national . Aibo ,what's the expectation Kanti? 🤔.... RSA are very democratic even when we see Reality ..
Kanti ufunani lo sisi?
The Igwe thing got me🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just imagined it happening on my street and you should have seen me laughing 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I know Samori Toure, the Sokoto caliphate, most Nigerian traditional food, would love to marry a Nigerian queen 👑
Nice one and Goodluck with that😁😁

WoOoW!
Let's meet
@@Dr_Du-Little I will add you up on Facebook
welcome back, great content once again! with all due respect but how people think of Nigerians is up to Nigerians to change, the reputation is brought on them by themselves!
fact is that the reputation is global and Nigerians need to work on this issue.
one love
Thank you, and we are changing that, one step at a time❤️
I honestly blame their government. The more I discover about their history, the more I understand(not condone) their actions. People who work and study like slaves and get treated like slaves by their government will excel at crime in countries with weak laws. The ill disciplined lack empathy and ethics. Colonisation and corruption ravages the local people and we all pay a huge price. It's sad but you are right. All Nigerians need to work on their country for future generations.
@@khanyisa7373 You making up excuses, in SA they going to meet their match, they can import their crime somewhere else we dont have time to tolerate or understand such. Tell us about all your understanding the day you have a child and she? he get kidnapped, you know South Africans hardly do such
I am an ijaw girl, people always think I am Igbo. It’s really annoying.🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 i really tought Nollywood was real
Hahahahahaha Nollywood is an entertainment 🤣 😂 😆 😄
@@kevinemmanuel8525 lol imagine at my 30s im learning this
Me who made the assumptions about Lagos and Yoruba, but the ones at the end can’t believe some people think that 🙊
Well said 👏
Sharon we love you
You have done a great job clearing the assumptions, some were quite funny 😁Nollywood is not real life 😂🤣🤣😂
Lol, the funny assumption tho😂
Longer videos please
😄😄❤️❤️
welcome back sis glad to see you, those things showed in Nigerian movies are not real , they are just movie no body should take it person hahahaha😀
My dear o😂😂
The drug dealing stereotype is not a South African one, it's worldwide. Hushpuppy has never set foot in this country, he was arrested in the UAE. The reason why we generalise is precisely because you never call out your own, instead you get angry at us. Your countryman Ayo was denied VISA to enter the UAE not so long ago. The whole world can't be wrong about you. All you need to do as Nigerians is fix yourselves.
😂😂😂 seems u've made up ur mind never to like Nigerians. I mean, do u really think Nigerians defend other bad Nigerians
@@Bishop_Six yes I've made up my mind.
@@blackdynastyrsa658 alright gee.. peace ✌
Good it's best you have that dirty mind of yours made up
Ayo ke mang?
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣True most of us know Lagos and Abuja
Hahahah.. I know right 😂
You didn't tell them that Hausa is the Largest tribe in Nigeria
Sharon tell them that some Nigerian ladies would love to marry some South African men. I love me a South African man. South Africans have beautiful accents❤❤❤.
But why do Nigerian Nollywood ACT about things that are not part of their life, because in SA you can watch all movies 90% of them is part of our life.
Some are realistic. Like the ritual part are real .
Ritual in Nigeria is so high right now.
no in the ancient days those things happens in Nigeria, magic and all other bad stuffs
man did you catch that she just said only 30+ million people in 2 cities as if it's nothing🤣😅😂
But Igbo guys just stand out though, at least majority of those I've met. They have that thing
Which thing please? 🤔
Here is south Africa we do really things what you see on muvhango is real
Lol it's not real kanti?
Good for you, but a movie does not have to be real though, mostly just for entertainment purposes.
😂😂😂😂... In which state is Port Harcourt?
Rivers State
Rivers State PH . then cross river state Calabar
❤❤❤
You're beautiful ❤️
Not as exaggerated as in the movies but it's definitely real
SAns did not wake up one morning and decided to have an issue with Nigerians. Things used to be better between us until they were not. It took many years for Nigerians to build the kind of reputation they have in SA. The rudeness, entitlement, disrespect, arrogance, fraud of all kinds, and bullying have earned Nigerians in SA and I would argue CZcamsrs as the most unbearable people to deal with in recent years. Yes, there are many good Nigerians who pay taxes and contribute to our economy but one never knows how they became doctors, engineers, etc given their history of forging documents.
A Nigerian living in Nigeria and a Nigerian living outside Nigeria are 2 completely different entities. People relate their experiences in the hands of Nigerians in their respective countries. What we see Nigerians doing in South Africa is shocking and people identify with that. Those Nigerians who display model behaviour will not be noticed or stand out because that is what is expected of any human being, therefore, those committing crime will standout. Nigerian society in Nigeria is only guilty of teaching their sons and daughter that they have to make it or strike it rich at all costs. Sadly, they don't put the limit of "all costs", it's easy for a Nigerian person in Nigeria to perceive that "at all cost" doesn't mean at the cost of another person's life or well-being. Now once a Nigerian person is away from the prying eye of their society, everything goes in their pursuit of wealth, including feeding children that are not of their society drugs, selling them to prostitution and defrauding them of their hard earned money.
The extent of respect and elevation that the Nigerian society affords to wealthy people and utter disdain towards those of lesser means is the main rot that drives Nigerians in the diaspora to break all societal rules in their pursuit of wealth. Until such time that Nigerian society learns to welcome their sons and daughters back home or to their communities even if they have not strike it rich, an average Nigerian person in the diaspora is a potential criminal. A Nigerian man returning from the city or diaspora empty handed is abhorred by their own family because he is perceived to have dishonoured the family that turns into a "laughing stock" in the community. A Nigerian man would rather die in the diaspora than going back home poor for fear of shaming himself and his family. Many Nigerian families don't know the graves of their sons because they were too poor to come home. It is clear that the cure for Nigerian criminality lies with the Nigerian society, not their host society in the diaspora.
Why do you think Nigerians concentrate largely in neighbourhoods that host our main goods ports of entry? I am talking about Nigerians who have taken over large territorries in Kempton Park, Johannesburg to be strategically closer to OR Tambo Int. Airport and why they have also taken over the Point area in Durban where the sea harbour is located? This is indicative of a well planned strategy to smuggle in illicit merchandise. Have you noticed that Nigerian shops in upmarket suburbs, stock very overpriced merchandise imported from Nigeria yet they will go without a single customer going in for an hour or 2. Now that means those shops are a front for illicit trade and their products are of brands only known by Nigerians and they are overpriced to limit movement into the shop.
I know I have just broken the code of how they operate but key individuals in our state intelligence and law enforcement agencies are either fast asleep or in cahoots with these criminals. What I am saying is not a stereotype, it is our reality.
Thank you for sharing
Damn, we need a change of government, otherwise we are doomed. NgesiXhosa sisisigqubu sabaphulimthetho. These people are killing our country like a virus. Let's change the government people to a party that is serious about controlling immigration influx, that will enforce existing regulations on immigration. They will clean this country and we will then feel safe and will save our country from these scarvengers.
Seriously, the stereotype about Nigeria is wrong. Same thing we face here.
I can imagine
Yes
Yo
Yo
You're gorgeous
Sorry for all those bad assumptions
But as for the marriage part I'd say it's 50/50 I know of couple who married and are still married it wasn't for the permit or anything it was purely bcz of love...... And theeeeen I know of those who did it for the green card and their divorce does not even take time ( it's sad)
Not only South Africans everyone outside of Nigeria thinks igwe is real 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 people always ask me that too . The igwes are even poor down here
😂😂😂
Haha... don’t let the Igwe summon you😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hi sis my name is Gift from Abia state Nigeria living in Johannesburg south Africa please I will like to chat you privately please
Send me a dm on IG
My sister i have been following your video posts for very long time and they good, until you start your fellow countrymen. Let's put it this way, it is a fact that there is good Nigerians that live here in South Africa 🇿🇦, however, we have noted that the majority of Nigerians here in South Africa they are no good, it is worth noting that Nigerians flee their country for various reasons, but why South Africans are not fleeying their country to Nigeria. Please don't try and play in a space that will tarnish your good name here in South Africa. Majority of us we find it strange of some of Nigerians who live like animals, no etiquette manners, loud, selling other humans just for money, selling drugs and poisoning our children. It is unfortunate for you to try and defend your fellow Nigerians whom by large conduct their lives in a way that they seem to have mental health. My suggestion to trade on this space of defending majority of Nigerians who are pure criminals, Nigerians are a problem worldwide. Nigerians passport in many countries require a visa, did you check that? And ask yourself why? Check South Africa passport and see how many countries can we go and no visa required? Ask yourself why? So my sister on that topic stay out of it, you create a lot of unnecessary South African enemies. Even you are in South Africa and we accepted you, so please just enjoy our beautiful country and its amenities and stop patronizing us in your defence of people who can't stay in their country and mind their own business please.
Hahahahaha!! Wahala! I can't find anywhere she claimed there are no Nigerian doing bad stuff in your country. People should know that no sane human will support crime, however the stereotype that Nigerians are like that is just unfair and uncalled for, it's like saying all South Africans have Xenophobic tendencies 🤔
hahahahahaha false assumptions biko. Not all of us are fraudsters oo
But the world can't all be wrong
You say there are other cities there in Nigeria, but you don't mention them. Aah sister educate us!!
I'm sad, i wanted the powder that makes people to disappear, i was planning to come there for it, i feel betrayed
What?
You just spoiled nollywood movies for me😭😭
😂😂😂😂❤️❤️
if as the so called good Nigerians you are not doing anything about the bad ones who are destroying our country then it means you are all involved. why don't you report them to the police or take action so you can clean the reputation of your country?
You lots talk too much. Are your folks saint? I mean, if u catch them perpetuating any crimes. Pls don't hesitate to bring them to book. Jess
@@fredefosa yes our South Africans are not Saints.but we can't have criminals coming to our country and comiting crimes.
@@kennedymogomotsi6973 then do something about it. Instead of you lamenting over CZcams.
@@fredefosa don't worry we dudula now
@@kennedymogomotsi6973 yeah do that, nd you lots shall also meet your waterloo.
You do know that it is a South African thing of judging people for marrying outside of South Africa not a South African men thing even South African women get angry and judge South African men who marry women from other African countries thing is South African men rarely do that so it seem like it is South African men who are always the judgemental ones.
Nigerian doctors & lecturers are not nice.
Sharon we love you
