Why South Africans and Nigerians are fighting online | Al Jazeera Newsfeed


You may have seen the scandal over South African student Chidimma Adetshina being crowned Miss Nigeria. But did you know rivalry between the two countries has flared as people seek ways to get back at each other? Here’s how a beauty queen, a taxi prank, and xenophobia are all connected.

  1. As a Nigerian, I am compelled to address the gross inaccuracies in your statement. The alleged airlift of individuals from South Africa to Nigeria and attacks on South African businesses in Nigeria are entirely unfounded. I emphasize the importance of verifying information to prevent the spread of misinformation and promote peaceful cooperation among African countries.

  2. I read so many comment of SA peope saying Chidinma birth certificate was bought, if certificate can be bought from such important ministry that means SA system is corrupt and faulty

  3. It is funny how Aljazeera is so hypocritical. It's a channel owned by a government which does everything wrong for liberal values. You will never hear them report on it. I now think Qatar has an agenda to stir culture wars in the west and everywhere else while never commenting on the backwardness and serious issues in the islamic world.

  4. Her mother was wrong. You cant steal the identity of another woman and represent the women of that country. Thats fraud. South Africa was not wrong.

  5. Al Jazeera lack of research she was not born in South Africa her parents arrive in South Africa in 2010 during world cup they already had her. And committed a fraud stealing another girl's Identity for to study in Africa.

  6. Its definitely not Chidima,south Africa won twice in a way,but sadly chidima is the face of identity fraud snd illegal immigration i dont think that will go down well at miss universe.just like Nigerians to do something like this they just never gave thier own girls a chance basically .the war will go on at the miss universe as south Africa competes with south Africa basically, chidima is south African by her upbringing but not by true citizenship.

  7. Is this unbiased reporting???
    A crime has been committed and still not recified
    Chidima is parading under a false identity document
    Don't you think is fair to say that South Africa has a right to object???

  8. This is not the beginning of the feud between our nations. South Africans are sick and tired of Nigerians selling drugs and committing other crimes such as human trafficking in South Africa. Their attitude towards SAns in SA is atrocious and they act like they are untouchable, they can just do as they please.

    SAns rightfully voice their anger against these arrogant Nigerians and now they label SAns as xenophobic.

  9. I learned that Africans are really easy to manipulate. The media peddled this Miss Universe girl's story in the headlines but sidelined a story that involved Libyans linked to ISIS that were training in South Africa. The same ISIS that is then deployed to destabilize oil and mineral rich regions in Mozambique and the Sahel region. This was completely ignored, and SA and Nigeria chose to engage in smear campaigns against each other instead 😂😂😂😂😂…pathetic!

  10. WHY DID YOU NOT MENTION THE IMPORTANT PART,WHICH IS:BOTH HER PARENTS STOLE ANOTHER SOUTH AFRICAN MOTHER'S IDENTITY AND CHIDIMMA'S MOTHER HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR 23 YEARS,WHICH MAKES CHIDIMMA TO NOT BE A SOUTH AFRICAN?YOU GUYS ARE BIASED,YOU FIND JOY IN PAINTING US AS BAD PEOPLE,SHAME ON YOU.

  11. Nigerians are frauds, everywhere they go. Now they're using our South African passorts and visas to commit those frauds to other countries. After that they expect us to be acceptive and allow them to do as they please and when we voice our grievance they quickly call us xenophobics.

  12. This is half baked journalism from Al Jazeera, question you need to answer (i) what are the paths to obtain South African citizenship? (ii) Was her citizenship lawfully obtained (iii) Was Chidima born in South Africa? (iv) how did this identify fraud impact an innocent South African mom and her child? (v) where is her mom? (vii) how much of an issue is identity theft in South Africa particularly by foreign nationals?
