Save Us From Xenophobic Attacks, Nigerians In S Africa Urge FG by chibecanglobal(m): 10:49am On Apr 09, 2015 |
Port Harcourt – The President of the Nigerian Union in South Africa, Mr Ikechukwu Anyene, on Wednesday urged the Federal Government to help halt the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in that country. Anyene on phone from Pretoria, South Africa, said that the latest spate of xenophobic attacks began three weeks ago. There are more than 800,000 Nigerians living in South Africa. Anyene said Nigerians resident in some South African cities had gone into hiding to avoid being attacked by South Africans. ‘’The Nigerian government should urgently intervene and save our people from the attacks. ‘’They should prevail on the South African government to stop such attacks against Nigerians. “It appears nothing is being is done to stop the attacks and Nigerians are worried about the situation,’’ he said. Anyene said during the attacks in Johannesburg last week, shops owned by Nigerians were looted and their owners seriously injured by the attackers. He said the Nigerian Union in South Africa had been in touch with local chapters in some provinces and had urged them to take precautionary measures to save themselves. Anyene said that since Nigeria and South Africa established diplomatic relations, there had not been a single incident of xenophobic attack against South Africans living in Nigeria. ‘’The Nigerian government protects the lives and property of South Africans living in Nigeria . “ We do not understand why from time to time, South Africans attack Nigerians in their country. ‘’The Federal Government should take the issue of xenophobic attacks in South Africa very seriously because Nigerians do not carry out xenophobic attacks against fellow Africans,’’ he said. Nigerians living in Durban, he said, had planned a protest march against the xenophobic attacks. He, however, said they were denied permit by the South African police.

agarawu23:You dont talk or think like that my friend. A lot of xenophobia being expressed by many south africans against foreign residents in south africa. The attacks are not just targeted at only nigerians. a lot of other nationals have also been victims.Why it appears as if it is targeted only@nigerians to me is the fact that quite a sizeable propprtion of immigrants owning shops or nusinesses in south africa are nigerians. Just a couple of weeks ago the son of the king of Zululand was quoted as saying that foreigners should as a matter of urgency vacate south africa as according to him they are constituting social,economic and developmental problems for south africans... 33 Likes 2 Shares |

South africans are an extremely brutal breed of the human race,they do not tolerate foreigners prospering in their land; mostly because many black south africans are still jobless illiterates with crime as their only avenue of feeding. Due to south africa's unfortunate animalistic instincts,many foreign investors have been discouraged to establish companies,while those who had already set up businesses have packed up and ran away in fear of being lynched by south africa's animalistic mobs. Though their are a number of Nigerian criminal elements in South Africa,it definitely isnt worth carrying out violent reprisals against every foreigner on sight,this goes to show how socially underdeveloped south africa is,afterall,SA has a police force,doesnt it?. 61 Likes 6 Shares |

Please my brothers and sisters in SA come back home oooo!! it is better to stay and managed with what you have in your country than die like a chicken in SA.....SOUTH AFRICANS are enemies of Nigeria... they lack love in their heart toward their fellow African brothers. kindly look around you , you will find out that Nigerians are not the only victims there..other citizens from Zimbabwe, Somalia etc are equally affected..they are blood suckers and they have large sympathizers that support this killing and butchering since they too cannot stand foreigners in their land. Branding and killing every foreigners or Nigerians as thief, criminals is not the way to go.. ...If we behave like South Africans, that means the every Chadians, Nigerien's will be tagged and killed as Boko Haram or enemy of the country. What about the some Indians, Lebanese or Chinese that are into some illegal business in Nigeria..they all would have been become endanger species in Nigeria..... SOUTH AFRICANS hide under the guise of Nigerians are drug peddlers, Nigerians are criminal .. Nigerian are this ... Nigerian that to perpetuate their deep rooted hatred they have for this Country and other African countries...monsters. you want to become Giant of AFRICA? HOW CAN YOU BECOME ONE WHEN YOU CANNOT EVEN STAND TO PROTECT YOUR OWN FELLOW BLACK MAN FROM THE RAIN. COME AND CLAIM THE TITLE NA.. NONSENCE 41 Likes 8 Shares |

its not about drugs ... SAcans hate foreigners in general, some Nigerians just gave them a reason to despise them more. they loot somali shops, shoot at ethiopians amongst others.. their cops also maltreat foriegners.. I think it's high time FG do something about the whole issue.. i believe there's a solution to it. they're currently fighting for the removal of their colonial masters 'statues' embedded in cities around the country, so they are quite a sensitive lot. 10 Likes 3 Shares |
