One of the issues that caused the divide between us and South Africans is that they could not understand how we came to their country with nothing and still managed to build wealth. They resented that we were so smart and resilient. My experience in South Africa was bad not because my business was struggling, but because of the hatred from some South Africans simply because I am Nigerian. My South African wife was even told she would be arrested for marrying a foreign national.

This is a lesson to others. Don't buy houses in a foreign country. Make money and invest back home.
Landlord and mortgage in the same sentence these people must think we are clowns!
There is no way in hell SA will pay compensation. We are very much aware these people have suddenly became multi millionaires who left SA running 😂,.
Who are you? We never knew you.
We are tired, why is our country treated with this propaganda. WherescthevproofvofvRichard. He was living in SA illegallynor had asked documents. He mustvhave taken a wife with him. Why leave her.

If lies were a person… Our minister need proofs please.
Too many holes in the story.
Lies have got short legs, thanks a lot for leaving.
Law, order and responsible agency are key to individual and society's development and benefit. South Africans are acclimatised to the concept of 'orderly and proper planning', in which bylaws, town-planning standards, and environmental health standards (food, health & safety) are crucial for its citizens. Even in informal settlements, the government provides legislative and policy-driven levels of town planning, such as informal settlement upgrades, for the provision of services (water, stormwater management, sanitation, electricity, suitable land, health and safety), and, importantly, social welfare safety nets, such as grants and old age pensions – something rare in the rest of Africa.
Is Nigeria a real country or just a scam😂😂😂
Gradually Nigerians are coming up with their lame apologies.
Unblushing liar 😂😂😂
Did anyone bother to ask this studio guest what type of visa did he use to come here? He said he ran a business here, did he have the required cash to operate a business in South Africa as a foreigner,(considering R5m is the minimum requirement)? He had a mortgage, really?
Actually, every country in the Southern region of Africa is xenophobic just that South Africa is the most violent. All the countries in the Southern region don't like foreigners, especially, when they see that you are succeeding more than them. Of course, our thinking pattern about everything are totally different. They always ask why we think faster, smatter and faster than them. There's no place like Nigeria where we see strangers as our own and are ready to sacrifice anything for their safety and comfort.
Liar
This guy must open a case against us SA government or we should sue him so that we see who is a liar including the show. The fact the this show ask him do u have papers shows their incompetence coz they didn't do back round check on him to prove if he is telling the truth or not b4 accusing the state
This so strange,you have a mind set of building something from nothing,why didn’t you do that in your home country , and again how did you get to SA? Anyhow all these propaganda your on about won’t take you anywhere,compensation for what,does this guy pay tax😅,so you come to SA without money but you can afford a house over a million 😅 I just wonder how quick you pushed the powder,you must have been exceptionally excellent at it 😂😂😂
Why dont he build his business in Nigeria
Itoro is a liar. If everything that he did was legitimate, and he was successful he wouldn't have a problem, and the enviroment wouldn't be hostile. The enviroment is hostile for illegalities.

Mortgage and hijacking of city municipality buildings aren't one and the same. Ask him about drugs, murders, building hijacking and others, he won't confirm any of those things as done by Nigerians
As usual, there's no news without xenophobia. Viva Libya! 😂
Investment is drugs right!
