[00:00:00]in their local language. Unfortunately, I do not understand. They kicked me into the rain.

[00:00:04]>> Oh, >> yeah. They kicked me into the rain. And it was after that day that I ran to the embassy. I said, "No, I want to go home." They kicked me in the rain. I'm here looking for an opportunity to better my life in the sports department.

[00:00:18]I can show you on my phone. I've made contact with former Bafana Buffana players trying to help me because yes, I have the talent. But if I'm here and my safety is under siege, then it's it brings to the question, why would you risk your life just to have a a better living? So I better go home and then restrategize and see the way forward because the world is big. If you are somewhere and people do not really like you, then you have to go back to your motherland and find a way find a way to make it.

[00:00:49]>> What what are your plan what do you plan to do when you get back? thought about that.

[00:00:54]>> Of course, Ghana is the is the is the enclave of talent. When I go back to Ghana, I'll see I'll see my my way next.

[00:01:01]I'll find my way to a country that is going to give me the proper structure, the proper platform to express myself and then bring my talent to be because >> yeah. Um the other thing too is that apart from my my personal thought of um making plans for myself, the government of Ghana has also put plans in place to reintegrate us into the society. They are trying to make sure that we are not coming back and coming to struggle. um they are trying to put uh allowances in place so that even within the period with which we are going to to stay and say okay so if I came to South Africa to do XY Z and and I'm in danger then okay these are the amount of money or this is the the package for you for you to feel comfortable until you are on your feet or government is going they have a special package for us a database where they are going to employers. So for me, it's better I go home and then listen to the foreign affairs minister and then look at the package and see where it benefits me rather than putting my life in danger in a foreign land.

[00:02:22]Now this day since where Sarafan people started when they say that foreigner must go when the South African coming out to announce finally they see June 30 all foreigner must leave even before then Ghanaians they are serious Ghanaian government want the their people to return back to Ghana immediately they are serious they are putting more energy but my question is that where Nigerians the government are the Last time I hear say Nigerian taking place to go and bringing all Nigerian back to the to Nigerian. We have not seen anybody. We have been seeing Ghanaians have been be returning from South African to to Ghana. We be seeing video about them returning back from South Africa to Ghana. But I've never seen any Nigerian who is returning back to to Nigerians. I have not seen I keep searching for the video. Maybe I've seen Nigerians have been returning to Nigeria recently. I've not seen anything but I've seen a lot of Ghanaian coming back from South Africa because why? They obey the law of South African people. They really and they they want peace. Ghanaians want peace.

[00:03:32]But what happened to Nigerians? Nigerian they safer mind they think that if everything calm down they remand there. Don't you see how far these are Africans when I allow you to speak? Because Ghanaians, even Ghanaian government are putting more effort. Ghanaian people are putting more effort. You see how Ghanaians they return back in peace. They're not fight.

[00:03:56]It's not fight. This is your so far when South African people are saying that we did not want foreigner. Ghanaians obey and they are coming back home. JJ but Nigerian what happened? The people who claiming h giants of Africans they are there now they don't quiet like say they don't be on social media because they don't want to come there you must come back to all the illegal foreigners in South Africa to all the illegal foreigners in South Africa I want you to listen to this message is for you those illegal foreigners who are listening to South Africans that are saying you must you must not go back to your country.

[00:04:42]Those South Africans they don't love you.

[00:04:46]They don't support you in any kind of a good way.

[00:04:52]They don't want you to fix your country.

[00:04:56]They don't want you to be proud of your country.

[00:05:02]They don't want you to make changes, differences in your countries.

[00:05:08]They want you stuck in their own country while them they march fight their government and you are here claiming a tax shop while they are claiming they showing out their powers.

[00:05:32]H and you are here. We are not going anywhere. We are not going anywhere. We are dying here. Die here.

[00:05:41]Let me tell you one thing. Die here.

[00:05:45]They don't love you.

[00:05:48]If a person does not support you, encourage you to do a good thing like they do, that person does not love you and will never ever love you.

[00:06:03]Stuck here and Nigeria, Zimbabwe and all those Ghas, they will remain poor because their millions are not there to fight.

[00:06:15]You love your government because your president is getting paid every month.

[00:06:23]Wild Born here.

[00:06:26]They tell they they they insult their presidents.

[00:06:31]Wow, you're stupid.

[00:06:35]illegal foreigners.

[00:06:37]And I'm feeling sorry for the legal ones who respect themselves, who knows their worth.

[00:06:45]But now their worth does not mean anything because of you.

[00:06:55]Guys, start to think. Pack [clears throat] your bags and go and fix your country.

[00:07:03]Compete with South Africa.

[00:07:09]>> You know, this is for my black South Africans. I just want to ask a question.

[00:07:13]No. Um, in 1994, no, a whole ass functioning [ __ ] country was given to you guys for reparations for for saying sorry about apartate and all that stuff. Now, a whole functioning country was given to you guys now to say yes, you know what? Yeah, you know, take it. Show me one damn country that did that.

[00:07:44]One damn country. The Americans didn't give it back to the Indians.

[00:07:49]Germany didn't give their country to Israel, you know. But we gave our [ __ ] country to you black people. And there's [ __ ] left about it. But we still have to make reparations. How does that work?

[00:08:03]What more do you want? What more do you bloody well hell want? I mean we we gave you a functioning working country in 1994.

[00:08:16]What more do we have to do? You know I mean really it's like every day we hear on on the news Ramapo are saying uh reparations and then we have to fix it and what the [ __ ] are you talking about?

[00:08:31]We gave you the country. Isn't that enough? What more do you want?

[00:08:36]South Africans, I have noticed something, right? In spite of you wanting um other African nationals to leave the country which is within your rights.

[00:08:51]I don't fault you guys. Okay. But have you people also thought of the act aftermath effect is going to have on your country?

[00:09:02]Because everywhere in the world immigrants immigrants contribute so much to the economy of the country.

[00:09:14]Now let's take a look at um housing.

[00:09:18]Right.

[00:09:20]Not all fingers are equal. There are certain houses that even South Africans may not be able to afford but an immigrant will be able to afford. Now, have you thought of the effect of what is going to happen to people who have employed immigrants?

[00:09:39]I'll be going live shortly. Let's go and discuss and look at all this things and the way forward and the effect is going to have on the economy of South Africa.

[00:09:53]Unless you guys do not care. Join me when I go live. Let's have this discussion fruitful one, educative one as well. Okay? Because whatever it is that is going to happen, we all need to learn. Everyone from every African country, we all need to learn and pick something out of what is happening in South Africa. Join me soon when I go live.

[00:10:19]>> Baba tell you most of us we know they listen to understand now. We just they listen to to react to argue. Baba nobody they justify what they they do. Even them most of them know say this things they do they take them too far. But you need to you see for you Nigeria you need to forget what they do. Now what they make then they do that thing are now you supposed to the reason but how many times they don't tell you may not they do all these things where they do say you they turn their country upside down say their children you they sell p to their children say they don't want all these things how many times they don't tell you [snorts] you now you comment this thing just imagine see me come your house come they misbehave come they tell you all these things say you do that one you do that one you do that one you go warn me you get where you reach. You go warn me once, you go warn me twice. You see the third warning I slap go follow. You you go attack slap you tell you follow the next the third warning.

[00:11:24]So all these things where they happen to you you be Nigeria for South Africa they don't warn you stop doing this first time you not greet second time you not gre third time how many time you want me then warn you. So as they don't want you for many times you not you not agree for many years they tell you reduce all these things where you they do say they not too like you your coconut head you not you not agree now they don't they don't they don't they don't bust enough is enough now you now you now want complain the way way they react you now they tell me say they do not good why you not reason why when they tell you may you stop that way why you not stop why you need to wait till he reach point of no return. Why you need to wait? Why you not stop when they ask you when you stop these things? When they tell you say this things where you they do they don't like, why you not why you not stop? Why you need to wait when to to point of no return? Then you come they complain they react. Of course they go react. You go react. Foreign migrant. I would like to educate you guys today.

[00:12:30]with regards to many videos that you know you make to insult South Africans you know by telling them we have a better economy in your country than you and you know we do business in your country we do this in your country we are better than you okay let me ask you one questions I want to start with the Somalians now to the Somalians how many Somalians patronize you now it is a competition among yourself.

[00:13:00]So, but who are the people that patronize your business? It is the South Africans. So, whatever you think that you are in South Africa, whatever money you think that you have made in South Africa are from South Africans.

[00:13:16]How many South Africans do you employ now? You make all this money from South Africa.

[00:13:22]It goes to Somalia. You don't add anything to the econ you don't add anything to the economy of this country.

[00:13:29]All the money you ship it to your subalians. You bring your people to this place. You employ them. And who are the people that support your business? It is the South Africans. To the Pakistani.

[00:13:40]Who are the people that are dying from your poisonous food? It is the South African kids. No Nigerian kid has died from Pakistani poisonous food. No Zimbabwe kids. No Malawan kids. It is only the South Africans. That shows that South Africans are the highest percentage of people that patronize your business. But yet today you people became so ungrateful and make video and start making videos to insult them day and night that you are better than them.

[00:14:05]No, don't worry. You see all these videos that you guys are making, you are actually telling their government where they have failed in their people and then the government is you know they taking notes and very soon their government will begin to cut your feathers one after the other. [laughter] And let me tell you see township business generates over 90 billion rand peromo the South Africans are taking over that economy I trust me and if that happens that 2,000 South Africans open the partnership in all the township in this country I'm telling you nothing but the truth in the next two to three four years they will be controlling the township economy so I I am hoping that very soon government will you know make available micro finance bank that will finance all those small small business and that you know two to three or 4,000 South Africans can be financed I mean can be borrowed they can they can help them to open that person shopyama and all kinds of you know business that they good at so watch this place and to all other you know foreigners in this place you see I would like to tell you guys one thing you are nothing without the black straw South African they went through oppression. They went through a lot so that every foreigners that are Africans can be respected in this country. So the reason why you as a Nigerian, you as a Zimbabwe can stay in the suburb, you know, can hug you with a white person in Cape Town and be respected. The reason why your voice can be heard is because of the black struggle.

[00:15:45]They went through oppression so that you will be respected. But today you think you are better than them in their country. You are not better than them.

[00:15:52]That's the truth. The Nigerian pastors who are the 95% of their audience. It is South Africans.

[00:16:00]That is true. But today they cannot even protect the same South Africans. Many of these pastors on Sundays they will organize this taxes you know to all the township and pack all the South Africans to their church on Sundays. So when you enter their church you see over 200 people sitting down listening to them.

[00:16:19]It is the South Africans but today they cannot show their loyalty by protecting the same people in their land by protecting them from their brothers that are committing crime against them.

[00:16:31]All the drug dealers that are making money driving cars today it is South African life they are destroying day and night. It is South Africans that is patronizing their business. It is South Africans that are their victims. So whatsoever thing you think you are in this country, South Africans made you.

[00:16:49]So instead of us to be grateful to them, we not turn around to say they are lazy.

[00:16:53]We turn around to say they are, you know, we feel we are better than them.

[00:16:57]Let me tell you something, including me that is sitting here.

[00:17:01]South African contribute to what I have today. They made me who I am. And that's true. Every foreign national that have passports, that have documents in this country, you know, that have been able to, you know, achieve one economical success in this country, a South African lady contributed, somebody went and collect a loan from you, for you to start your business, somebody got you document that made you qualify for a credit card or something that led to you progressing in this country.

[00:17:31]So, we are nothing without the South Africans.

[00:17:34]But you keep insulting them, the government will start improving on every point that you raise to insult them.

[00:17:42]Government will improve because now you are telling their government where they are failing their people. So I just want to educate you today. You are nothing without the black struggle. You are nothing without black South Africans.

[00:17:53]Take it or leave it.

[00:17:55]>> Mr. manager. Yeah. You see, I want to tell Ghanaians here, they should not pay attention to any politician that will come and then, you know, destroy the love that we have for each other indirectly.

[00:18:08]Indirectly, even you don't see or you don't hear. I want to play a song. Yeah.
