Dude, we are making the same point. So quit backing up the wrong tree. Nigerians love foreigners more than they love themselves, which i both good and bad.
Whatever.

BTW what is buhari doing? Is he only brave when it comes to innocent Nigerians?

I expected that by now he would have recalled our ambassador, expelled the south African ambassador , send a plane to pick up any Nigerian in South Africa that values his/her life.

Then close all diplomatic relations with south Africa and begin underground moves to hit them where it hurts.

is it high ranking we go chop.....what effort has he made to stop the xenophobia attacks on his country men in south africa....

I think he can only talk or write about it. There is not much he can do practically, for a variety of reasons (i) he is not a politician (ii) he is under the employment of SA govt (Stellenbosch is a public university, and #3 ranked in SA) (ii) some Nigerians (again, few) have been involved in criminal activities, of which somebody of his caliber cannot be seen to be defending. The onus is on the Nigerian govt to do something.

Meanwhile..........................................................Nigeria and Nigerians are the playground of the world.

On the one hand, Chinese, Lebanese, other Arabs, British, Americans, South Africans, Malians, Togolese, Cameroonians (just name it) come to Nigeria, set up businesses, degrade their Nigerian workers (physically, mentality and psychologically), make tons of money, and take the money back home. In this process they defraud the Nigerian system, pay little to no tax, and go unscathed. Thanks to your corrupt politicians and law enforcement; thanks to the ever docile and ignorant citizens. Malians, Guineans, Senegalese, Nigeriens, etc are part of the Fulani herdsmen-without borders who come into Nigeria, kidnap you, extort you, rob you, terrorize you, rape your women, maim you, kill you, and destroy your agricultural systems. They are foreigners in your country, but they do as they, please often lethally, and in connivance with certain people in your own government.

On the other hand, Nigerians go elsewhere, many are genuine and law abiding; others commit crimes or engage in fraudulent activities (like some foreigners in Nigeria also do). They are easily arrested, jailed, killed or maimed, and their genuine livelihoods destroyed. What happens from the Nigerian government side? NOTHING.

Either way, Nigeria and Nigerians are the playground of the world. They kill you in your country; they kill you in their country. Nigeria is right now the most useless country in the world ruled by useless leaders and populated by useless citizens.

There are many Nigerian professors in South Africa, some heading various departments or faculties in South African universities.

He is good a scholar but I don't know if he is the highest scholar.

Black South Africans don't generally fancy these type of occupations.
That's a lie

Is there any reason he cannot be ''one of the highest ranked'', if not ''the highest ranked'', Nigerian in SA? We know most Nigerians in SA are lowly self-employed folks doing genuine businesses. A few others are criminals running around with drugs and internet fraud activities. Others are in the academia, prof Opara being one of such. I'd like to see how many other Nigerians in SA hold such an intimidating professional profile as Opara. Or you want to mention the Nigerian ambassador to SA? Well, with all due respect, he/she is not really in SA working for an SA entity and is not a ''professional'', but a political appointee, positions often made out of nepotism and cronysm.

There are many Nigerian Dr,accountants even school owners in SA mate.

I can feel and relate to your anger. I blame our leaders who didn't and still don't see Nigeria as a nation but just pot of too much soup. You give them access to power, to resources, to money, all what comes to their mind is how to stash everything abroad and start living there with their family after their tenure in office. If they have access to resources but are not interested in using it to build this country, what can an ordinary citizen without access do?

In serious countries, this SA xenophobia would result in serious consequences for leaders. But Nigeria is an unserious country.
