sonofsteven:


Are you also in China?

No.

grandee4u:
Just recently I started comparing Turky, Cyprus And Oman, thinking about the one which is the best to travel to while factoring living standard, currency exchange value and visa readiness option and most importantly, getting something to do easily that will fetch you some bucks legitimately once you land there.

Urgent and reliable suggestion (s) will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

The 3 countries are not suitable for a long term migration especially Oman and Cyprus.

Just make more money and look towards countries that accept immigrants. A good example is . If you cannot learn a new language, look into Canada, New Zealand, UK or Australia. Good luck.

KingCold:
I am a citizen of that country, or don't I count?
I just think you're all too eager to believe him what he says about Zulu people because you already have pre-conceived ideas about them..I mean, you said it yourself

Yes, I have some ideas about them which I may call misconceptions cos my Zulu friends are nothing like what I was being told about them.

KingCold:
But to say lootings were started by Zulus is incorrect. That's the point of my argument

Okay, I agree bafo

KingCold:
I am a citizen of that country, or don't I count?

Of course, you do bafo and your view is different and good. You are a good ambassador of that country cos you don't wanna blame an issue on a tribe which is great.

KingCold:
What exactly did you see?
O' we've been good, just don't like when someone is wrong but headstrong to be corrected

Lol none of us is wrong here. I don't know your country more than you but like I said, I witnessed what South Africans were saying about different things. Maybe they were wrong or their views were influenced by what they know about the said tribe but let's just forget about it. South Africa is a beautiful country which I hope to visit one day and meet my friends.

KingCold:
Lol, research which is not even official or credible, hit us with credible sources that say the lootings were started by Zulu people, not gossip from Venda friends from UJ.

Asking for sources means you want some online articles written about the whole thing but I really don't believe things I read except if I see it by the citizens of that country. I didn't say my Venda friend from UJ? I said my level adviser was the one that studied in UJ. I could tell you his name to ask around if I'm lying.

I have friends from all tribes in Mzansi except Afrikaners

KingCold:
Bro, if someone from that particular place is trying to tell you about it but you go and on about something you heard or read about and even insist that person listens to you because you know better is the height of arrogance and delusion...LOL, And what did exactly did you see? That the person looting was Zulu? How can you even tell?

We're here in south Africa and know one can tell you who stared the lootings but everyone can tell how it all started, but someone from far flung Nigeria apparently knows

Okay. Let's assume what I saw wasn't the reality, we good now??

KingCold:
what you don't seem to get is, nothing can be traced on a tribe with regards to these lootings. nothing, People in Tshwane and Vereeniging can't be looting and the same looting be blamed on Zulu people, it's ridiculous

I know it's ridiculous but I swear I'm not lying about what I saw. Few of my South Africans blamed it on them. But then other tribes participated in it which makes your assertion valid. People need to learn not to use ethnicity to judge people especially Nigerians on this forum. They are good at that and it kinda influence the election we did few months ago.

I'm not from igbo tribe but some Nigerians blame them for different things. It's not cool but it is the way things are in this country.

Samantha124:
But I wasn't talking about you..

That's not true but it's all good ma'am

hiteelong:
Someone will say Nigerian girls are gold diggers always after your money

Please is this gold digger a nigerian

laziness and greed is not determined by type of skin or race

I think Nigerian girls are even better than these wh!te girls. Some Nigerian men have used and dumped many girls and yet they don't go about claiming things like these western girls just to take a portion of the wealth.

Samantha124:
O nagana gore he knows us go feta rena badudi ba ka mo nageng..

No madam, I didn't claim to know you better, I was just standing on what I know based on my research.

KingCold:
And I'm telling you of what I know by experience, what I've seen by my own eyes NOT some article I've read online, surely I ought to be the one telling you, no the other way around..Your arrogance is offputting.

Gauteng is not dominated by Amzulu le Batswana...see another mistake?

Secondly you have no business telling me about the personality of people you've never met. It's like me saying Hausa people I l;like this and like that, when I can't even differentiate them from a common Nigerian

Call it arrogant bafo but i don't back down not when I made effort to make research. My research isn't from reading articles online. It was from following South Africa twitter and pages on different platforms. I will reiterate what I said, I KNOW WHAT I SAW, believe it or not it won't nullify the fact that I saw things too.

And let's not argue anymore. I gat no beef with Zulu people. I love them and that's it.

KingCold:
I'm not Zulu so why would I be bitter? What I hate is someone sitting behind a computer and then acting like they understand the little nuances of a place they've never been to. The Xenophobic attacks started in 2008 way before Zuma was even arrested what was the reason back then? Zulu people again?

Secondly, how sure are you, these attacks weren't already happening in various places around Gauteng before Zuma was even arrested?

And I ask again, how do you pinpoint who Zulu and who's not in a place like Gauteng?

You are just falling into the usual trap of Nigerian reasoning...blaming things on tribes, that's not how work on this side

My emphasis was on the recent one in 2019 not the first xenOphobic attack, you see why I said you don't understand my point. If you know me well, I'm not the kind of NIGERIAN that blame people based on tribes. What started this argument was to educate a Nigerian who claimed to háte Zulu people which I think is not right cos I like them and their cultural activities.

I merely stated what I got from my research, emphasis on RESEARCH. Was I the one that blamed ZULU people, no cos I wasn't there to witness it and even if I was there, I might not be able to know who's who.

You said people don't blame tribes over there and I used the looting spree as a good example to discredit what you said. No country is free from tribal!sm just that Nigeria seem to be the number one in Africa from what I have seen so far.

KingCold:
Hell yeah, you're telling me about my own country guy, and you're insisting on things you have no clue about
How do you pinpoint who's Zulu and who's not in a place like Gauteng? Let's start there

I'm telling you what I got from my research and you are somehow adamant to accept it. I can't know a country more than the citizens and that's why I involved few citizens in my research. I have nothing against Zulu people. Ngithanda Amazulu but truth must be told.

Gauteng is a cosmopolitan province but we cannot overrule the fact that it is dominated by Zulu and Batswana people. Due to the peculiar personality people believe Zulu people to have, I think that might be the reason why they blame them for some things.

KingCold:
Nonsense

Truth is bitter bra. What caused the looting? Was it not because Zuma was arrested and detained in Estcourt jail. People wanted to protest and the bad ones took advantage of it to LOOT. The looting started there and spread to other places. Mostly in KZN and I think some part of Gauteng. Limpopo people made different posts to encourage their folks not to be like others. I saw everything cos my venda friends mentioned me on those posts. I'm not saying RSA has the level of tribalism we have in Nigeria but y'all have the tiny portion of it.

KingCold:
"I don't wanna listen?" you wanna tell me about my own country when you're in Kaduna? Come on man

Was I telling you about your country bafo? You got it all wrong wena. When xenophobia broke out and some Africans were affected, I decided to know the main reason why people were angry. In the midst of it all, I made my friends but I saw what South Africans from other tribes said about Zulu people. Yes, Nigerians might have blamed only Zulu people cos virtually majority only know of Zulu tribe but not me and that was because I took my time out and make research on things I should know. My level adviser was studying his PhD in UJ then. He helped me with the research too. My South African friends did as well. I saw everything they said. Gauteng is where it all started but the people that started it were Zulu before others ed.

What I noticed about South Africans is that they tend to blame Zulu people for most things, just like Nigerians do to igbo people (I'm not igbo).

KingCold:
Bro, only your people are blaming Zulu people, never heard of such here and I'm not even Zulu. Xenophobic attacks started on complains from all South Africans and then went haywire because of criminal elements

Okay, no argument cos it seems y'all don't wanna listen.

KingCold:
Your research was wrong. In SA, things aren't quite "tribe-specific" like they're over there

My research was not wrong cos i got it from South Africans. When looting spee went chaotic, I saw South Africans from other tribes blaming it on Zulu people. I'm on different pages and groups and I know what I saw bafo.

KingCold:
You can't pinpoint which tribe started

According to my research, it was started by them. They started it and others ed them except the Afrikaners.

YoungBlackRico:
Kinda like the xhosas more. And be like na dem plenty for una music industry

Na Zulu dominate the music industry

callmevirus:



I hate Zulus they claim to be the main South Africans and they're very wicked

This is just a misconception. Zulu people are not wicked like you think. I have met many of them and they are not like what we were told. Yes, they started the xenophobia stuff but South Africans ed them and now people are blaming just Zulu. That's not fair if you ask me.

Let's stop hating on the Zulu people. They are nice, they are beautiful and they are strong.

Zonefree:
Forget patriotism, South Africa get fine girls abeg.

See fine tall girl with tender skin.
No bleaching
No toothpick legs
No burnt knuckles like PH bolé
No protruded belly as a result of excess goat meat pepper soup and catfish pepper soup coupled with Smirnoff ice and hollandia yoghurt.

Nigerian girls are mostly short like fire hydrant. You hardly see a tall and pretty Nigerian girl.




God bless South African girls for me abeg. See as girl set and fresh like today's bread.

I completely agree with your comment except for the emboldened. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and trust me, Nigerian women are equally beautiful. They might not have yansh like South African women but they have the height and chocolate skin

Samantha124:
1. Xhosa

The most fashionable tribe in Mzansi. I love the way Xhosa people dress, people from this tribe seem to have a sleek fashion sense

Samantha124:
7. Ndebele

Esther Mahlungu tribe. I love this tribe and their traditional print.

Samantha124:
5. Venda

My first favorite South African artiste is from this tribe. Makhadzi

dude420:
and there is a reason for that , its not a coincidence

The only reason I could think of is language. Apart from this, I doubt if there was any other reason.

A simple picture with caption is enough to motivate somebody EVEN if they don't have that much time.

Chriswaso, it has been a long time boss.

daewoo2010:
Why’d this thread just die? The information I read here is invaluable! Wondering what happened. Hadampson thank you for the quotes with all the relevant info!

You are welcome. I think the Nigerians in are not as helpful as the ones in Canada. I know that time move fast over there but at least once in a while, they ought to be sharing tips for the prospective students.

Wagwanbrethren:
According to some dude who prolly knows better than everyone. No one should interfere in the barbaric act of Taliban even now that Qatar and other Muslim community has condemned the act. How do you justify misogyny and sexism against women?

1) Islamic courts are controlled by men.
2) Woman doesn't have the right to divorce and must seek a court to grant her divorce for specific reasons other then her just wanting to be divorced or dissatisfaction with the marriage while while the man has the right to divorce.
3) Women must obey the husband
4) Women must seek permission to go somewhere from the husband.

The following hadith I believe exists in both Sunni and Shia sources:

A woman came to the Messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه واله and said: O’ Messenger of Allāh! What is the right of the husband over the wife? He said to her: She obeys him and does not disobey him, does not give anything in charity from her house except with his permission, she does not keep a voluntary fast without his permission and does not prevent him from herself even if she be on hunchback. She does not leave her house but with his permission; if she leaves without his permission, the angels of the heaven, the angels of the earth, the angels of wrath and the angels of mercy damn her until she returns to her house. So she said: O’ Messenger of Allāh! Who among the people has the greatest right on the man? He said: His parents. She said: Who among the people has the greatest right over the woman? He said: Her husband. She said: So do I have a right over him similar to what he has over me? He said: No, not [even] one in a hundred! She said: By the One Who sent you as a Prophet with the truth, no man shall ever own my neck.

These points where taken from religious scriptures of islam, hence proves islam to be sexist. Sounds like slavery to me. Ooh, bud it is!

Most religions in the world are sexist, not only islam.

CheapHomes1:
Am waiting for buhari...sorry I mean Garba Shehu to release his own statement.

Come to think of it. These core Muslim countries no carry Islam for head the way our people in the north do

That's probably because they are educated unlike the northerners although the government is trying to educate people there by introducing free education

Imagine a world without religion.
