At least ambassadors are not attacked in Nigeria yet. I have always believed that South Africa is dangerously unsafe more than Nigeria, this incident has proved me right. No wonder that South Africans are arriving in Nigeria in droves because their country is no longer safe.

South Africa is being overrun with illegal immigrants, many of them Nigerian. Nothing but a bunch of pimps, drug lords and gansters. A lot of the violent crime in SA is being commited by foreigners. Where did you hear South African's are arriving in droves in Nigeria?

Ummm...you cannot say that everywhere in Africa is dangerous. Excuse me, but SA has among the highest crime rate IN THE WORLD !! Go to Mbabane, just 4 hours drive from Jo'burg, and crime levels are far, far lower. The only city that comes close (but not really) is Nairobi.
Whether or not it's Singaporeans, Nigerians, or Turkish ppl committing these acts of violence is not the issue.
SA is a gorgeous, beautiful country but your crime truly scares me. Haven't been since 98.

The high crime rate has nothing to do with having open borders. Besides, the White South Africans are not very friendly.
