Despite the horrific xenophobic attack ongoing in South Africa, the Nigerian Government has said it will move to evacuate its citizens only if the situation gets worse.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Aminu Wali, on Thursday said so far Nigerians have not been attacked. “With the discussions I have been having with Nigeria’s Head of Mission in Pretoria, no Nigeria n has so far been affected,” Mr. Wali said Thursday in Abuja. ”They informed me that they have called the Nigerian community and addressed them and told them to close their shops, stay home and keep out of trouble and obey the laws of South Africa.

“They have also confirmed that the South African authority has moved in to take actions that would forestall any further disturbance in South Africa,” Mr. Wali said. Mr. Wali said it will move to evacuate its citizens if the xenophobic attacks get worse. “If it gets worse it is the duty of our country to make sure our people are brought back, and we are taking that duty serious.

”We are not prepared to allow any of our nationals to be subjected to such inhuman treatment. “We are monitoring the situation and will now take action according to the situation that develops,” he said. Xenophobia in South Africa dates back to 1994 and are mainly targeted at citizens of other African Countries.

In May 2008 a series of xenophobic attack left 62 people dead. In the current attack, at least five people have been killed and hundreds forced to flee their homes in one of South Africa’s worst outbreaks of xenophobic violence in years.

That's nice ... Buh make dem do quick sha. But the fact remains that; will some of the folks there be willing to come back? *FTC*

Are de waiting 4 the attack to wosen i cant believe this country has no sense

Hhh

*grabs mic*Why is it that in Life the innocent suffer from every wrong move...
Cultism: when i was in skul at Auchi poly, i noticed that when members of a given cult have a brawl with a rival cult , they will flee and leave the rest to suffer the outcome all in the name of same cult...
politics: the suffering masses will be the ones to campaign and kill themselves while the politician's families are enjoying the going abroad...
Same goes to this xenophobic attack: the ones who carries out these attacks are in SA while they left the innocent SA Living in other countries to suffer their evil act......
That's why we shouldn't cheer nor urge our government to evacuate the South Africans living among because they are innocent...
*drops mic*

Just listen to this government

When its time to proffer solutions to the ordinary citizenry of Nigeria,the shoe our goverment is putting on becomes soooo heavy that a snail becomes faster in decision making, but when it comes to matters relating to enriching themselves & their generations unborn,then you would see them fighting themselves for a positive result.


If it were other serious nationals,they would have moved in swiftly to have evacuated her citizens,just before you could even say "Jack Robinson" & my government is still here pondering on what decision to take #Shame #Sad #UndemocraticRuleOfLaw

Evacuate everyone, including illegals?

We need action!!!

How worse?

What's wrong now?

My headmaster used to say that we should always make hay while the sun shines.

Drunk man.

Do I blame him,No!

I blame the clueless zoologist professor who appointed him.

So till they made suya of Nigerian living in SA, before we respond?

Giant of Africa indeed.

So the outgoing government can now be proactive towards the plight of Nigerians living in Diaspora? Medicine after death...mtchew

Make una dey come house ok

Hmm. I wonder why they are only targeting fellow African's. The same people that rallied around them and fought for their freedom from apatite.
Or is this perpetuated by white South Africans?

Xenophobia in South Africa dates back to 1994 and are mainly targeted at citizens of other African Countries.

Nigerians in SA will like to remain there than go back (just read it in an article) sad though

We have clowns for leaders. Waiting for the attacks to worsen before premptive action is taken.Horrible morons

I'm just curious as to their definition of "worsens". Are they gonna start evacuating when Nigerians start getting killed

Why not make hay while the sun shines?
