Nigerian parking scammers. People park their cars, these dudes pop out to puncture a tire, and then demand payment for using their turf. Japan needs to block and deport these people
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video shows a 2021 incident in Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria (not Japan), where a man hung on a car's bonnet after a parking dispute. Ikoyi and VI are Lagos neighborhoods.

And such people are among us, with the same mindset as that white goat kid: “If I can't have it, we all lose.”

She was 21 when we first met. Having just returned from the USA where she finished high school and obtained her first degree, she was doing some temporary work where I worked in Parktown.
Greeting her in the reception area, she commented about my accent. I was still full of myself & I was swift to tell her off, asking her who told her she has no accent.
She was taken aback & I could tell a bit embarrassed. A confident, pretty girl like her being told to go hang, she was unsettled & embarrassed by my response.
Back in my office, I realized I might have overreacted if not rude. I went back to her, apologized, gave her my business card & told her I'd like to take her out to make it up for my uncouth behavior.
Apparently she was about to throw the card away until an old colleague, sesi Mapule, told her to keep it & that I was the sweetest person around.
It's 24 years since we tied the knot and have been blessed with 4 children.
Today it's her birthday. Mrs. Jennifer Mathapelo Peters. The woman who brings order, honour, and a sense of purpose in my life.
Truly blessed to know that I mean the world to her. Akafuni lutho ngami. Umama wezingane zami bandla.

🚨BRUMA LAKE 2026: FROM FAMILY WATERFRONT TO LITTERED DUMP – THIS IS WHAT ANC RULE DID ‼️‼️
This is former Bruma Lake in Johannesburg. Once a buzzing spot with restaurants, an internet café, parking, a kids’ playground and markets 🏢🪅
Families used to come here and enjoyed themselves. Now look at it, litter everywhere, banks choked with rubbish, fencing stolen. The colourful buildings (the old restaurants and shops) standing empty. A dirty stream running through overgrown filth 🚱
The narrator is right: it doesn’t look good anymore.
This is not “progress", this is what happens when a government stops maintaining anything, stops collecting refuse, allows illegal dumping and lets infrastructure rot for decades 🚫
Johannesburg has been under ANC control for years and this is the result, another once-nice place turned into a dumping ground 📉
🔥‼️Shameful‼️ “Share this footage so people see the real state of things in South Africa 🇿🇦

Khotso Nkhatho gave us the best acting performance in the drama series Mopheme. To this day his performance is unmatched.

Nah...Nigerian Embassy must fokof. 2029 is near we voting a new government that will listen to the people. 😠
Our Ambassador, H.E. Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, @realFFK was treated with contempt and disdain and by extension so was Nigeria. H.E. President Cyril Ramaphosa, who we have the utmost respect for, did the right thing by intervening. We got the result we wanted. End of story.

Former ANC MP Lawrence McDonald relocated to Florida, the US, in May under a US programme for SA minorities, citing fears of persecution. McDonald criticised the ANC as “racist” but remained an MP from 2019 to 2024, making sure to get his pension.

A man who was allegedly part of a gang responsible for robbing workers travelling on foot between Philippi and Manenberg along Govan Mbeki Road was chased and stoned by a group of men who claim to have previously been robbed by him and his accomplices.
A bus commuter captured the gruesome incident on video. At this stage, it is unclear whether the man survived the attack.
This stretch of road is notorious for violent crime, with gangsters allegedly operating in the area, many of them believed to be from Manenberg and targeting pedestrians for quick cash.

Hello @GovernmentZA did you do background check?
It was a great and historic morning today at the South African Presidential Guest House in Pretoria where I had the honor and privilege of presenting my letters of credence to His Excellency President Cyril Ramaphosa @CyrilRamaphosa, the President of the Republic of South Africa, along with Ambassadors from 14 other countries.
It was a beautiful and historic occassion which witnessed the first posting of a substantive Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the Republic of South Africa in four years.
The entire event was livestreamed by @PresidencyZA (the South African Presidency) where millions of Nigerians, South Africans, Africans and members of the international community were watching in real time.
Every single one of the 15 Ambassadors that were present were introduced formally and gave a speech.
Curiously the South African Presidency refused to air the introduction of my goodself and the Nigerian delegation or to air my speech.
They went a step further by cutting us out of the livestream completely and went back on livestream only after my speech was concluded.
Of all the 15 introductions and speeches that were made and delivered this morning only Nigeria's was cut out.
I raised the issue with President Ramaphosa directly during the course of the photo session and whilst we were still on the premises and, in fairness to him, he took me to the relevant officials and acted with despatch.
Right there in my prescence he questioned them and directed them to resolve the issue immediately.
Sadly by then it was too late and Nigeria had been left out. To be clear, I repeat, we were the ONLY ones that were left out.
Clearly some elements in South Africa do not want to hear what we have to say or see our faces but we are here to stay as long as we are welcome and have the confidence of President Ramaphosa, which I am sure we do.
Luckily for us there were at least two Nigerian television stations at the event and all that I had to say was fully recorded by them and will be released to the Nigerian public.
There is also footage that will be released in which I complained directly to the President and in which he called his staff and told them what to do.
Whilst still on the premises, when offered an interview by @SABCNews
(the South African State Broadcaster), I turned them down as a consequence of the deplorable way we were treated and I told them to go and listen to my speech instead which their Presidency officials had refused to air.
One thing is clear, I have immense respect and affection for South Africa and the South African people but I will not be anywhere or tolerate anyone that disrespects or treats our Government or our people flippantly.
My thanks goes to President Ramaphosa for his concern and timely intervention.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria and God bless the Republic of South Africa.
