Obasanjo Blames South African Government For Xenophobic Attacks by Cambells: 7:07pm On Mar 01, 2017 |
Former president of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has blamed the `laxity and insincerity’ of the South African Government under President Jacob Zuma for the incessant Xenophobic Attacks on foreigners. The ex-president condemned the attacks on Wednesday in Abeokuta when he received the leadership of the National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies, (NIPSS) Kuru, Jos who paid him a courtesy call. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Obasanjo described the development as a `betrayal’ of the struggle for the emancipation of the country against the apartheid regime. He said: “I will apportion more blame to the leadership of the South African government. “While the immaturity of the youths can be excused, the leaders ought to realise the importance of unity and brotherliness in Africa. “While I blame the youths of the country for the attacks, I will blame the leaders of any country more that allows xenophobic attacks against fellow Africans for whatever reason. Obasanjo also called on African leaders to ensure good governance for the overall development of the continent. “African leaders should also step up measures at developing their countries and improve the living standards of their citizens. “This will discourage our youths who because of underdevelopment and poor living standard seek greener pastures outside their countries. “I feel disheartened learning that many of our youths perish while crossing the Sahara Desert or the Mediterranean Sea.’’ he said. http://www.cambellsblog.com/2017/03/obasanjo-blames-south-african.html 7 Likes 1 Share

I have been seeing this recent Xenophobic attacks on foreigners by black South Africans, and I will advise my Nigerian brothers and sisters in South Africa to go back home or relocate to another country. Forget about your assets in the country, your life is more valuable than any business or property you have there. From my observation of the events, it is very glaring that black south Africans have gigantic hatred towards Nigerians and other nationals. In support of what obj said, I think the inaction of south african government against these xenophobists speaks volume. How could a government do nothing to the bastards killing innocent foreigners because they think they are drug dealers and they are taking their jobs? Shame on Jacob Zuma government for allowing these xenophobic attacks to continue. I remember when Nigeria was in economic recession during Shagari tenure, and the government had conference to expel illegal immigrants, no Nigerian attacked or killed any of the illegal immigrants, though we taunted them with the popular Ghana must go, nothing more than that. Now Nigeria is in recession again, we are not blaming any foreigner for our economic situation. People keep saying, foreigners should respect their laws, but the question remains that if there are immigrants disobeying the laws of the land, does that give some citizens the right to put justice into their hands and kill them if not that South Africa is such a shameless and lawless country. Some people give excuse that those attacking are illiterate black south Africans, my question to that is why is the voices of educated black South Africans and white South Africans silent on this issue? South Africa is such a useless country. On this reoccurring xenophobic attacks, I'm not only going to blame uneducated black South Africans and South African government, I also blame the educated ones among them for their silence on the issue as well as African leaders and Africa Union. All these useless African leaders are going about their business and none of them is saying anything against this as if it is a normal thing the way their citizens are being killed on the street of South Africa like chickens. And what is stopping stupid Africa Union to have placed sanctions on South Africa by now? Is it until all the immigrants in that country are killed? Smh for the continent of Africa 34 Likes |

I will only condemn South Africa for the killings that occurred But I won't blame them for been Xenophobic We all seem to forget too quick That Nigeria started this first... During the time of GHANA MUST GO The treatment given to our Ghanaian brothers then was totally inhumane Now they fixed-ing up their country, and my fellow Nigerians are running off to Ghana now The best we can do now... Is to come back home and develop our country In few years South Africans will beg for Nigerian Visa 2 Likes
