...Demands urgent stop to killings
...Seeks Compensation for victims
...To Visit Julius Malema
...Calls on AU to Intervene

A political activist and former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has called on the President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, to urgently halt attacks against Nigerians and the wanton destruction of their property by rampaging citizens of that country.

While demanding an immediate stop to the bloodletting against innocent Nigerians, he called on the South African Government to commence the payment of adequate and commensurate compensation to the victims of the dastardly and unprovoked acts of aggression without delay.

“On behalf of Nigerians, we plead with the South African government, its youths and the enire citizens to put a stop to the wanton killing of Nigerians and destruction of their property by irate South Africans and instead fashion out ways on how Nigerians and other African countries resident in your country can live together in peace and harmony.

“We agree completely with what Julius Malema said and I quote: "South Africa is Nigeria and Nigeria is South Africa.” Therefore, let’s live in unity.

“May we also remind our South African brothers and sisters that Africa is one indivisible continent and that most African countries especially in West Africa and Nigeria in particular, helped South Africa to fight their subjugation under apartheid by generously supporting them financially, materially and otherwise until they attained the abolishment of racial segregation.

“It was not only the right thing to do but was done because Nigeria regards South Africans as our brothers and sisters.

“We urge South African youths to emulate the late icon, Nelson Mandela, who was always for peace and even forgave those that imprisoned him for 27 years. Mandela preached peace, love and forgiveness during his lifetime.

“We therefore encourage the youths to give peace a chance and allow Nigerians and other Africans resident in their country to live in harmony in the spirit of African oneness,” he said.

He urged the South African authorities to urgently evolve both legal and policy instruments to permanently stop this acts of belligerence and open aggression against Nigerians.

He also called on the leadership of the African Union (AU) to intervene and prevent needless hostilities between Nigeria and South Africa which may result if the prolonged attacks against Nigerians and their interests in the former apartheid enclave is not urgently halted.

“It is time for the AU to walk the talk by invoking the necessary sections of its charter to stop this orgy of degradation and dehumanization against Nigerians.

“The AU must prove its relevance by acting swiftly. They cannot afford to obfuscate by mouthing words while shying away from addressing the pogrom and genocide against innocent Nigerians legally residing in South Africa at this time.

“They must act to prevent this unprovoked aggression from snowballing into unimaginable proportions on both sides. A stitch in time would save nine at this trying moments,” he said.

Frank in a statement in Abuja further disclosed that he already had discussions with one of the leaders of opposition political parties in South Africa, Julius Malema, over the imbroglio and said that he would soon visit him to strategize on how to permanently end the hate induced violence against Nigerians in South Africa.

“It is most unfortunate that Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and his ‘yahoo yahoo’ administration is clueless on how to protect Nigerians from this horrendous xenophobic onslaught against hapless citizens.

“Since they are presently busy organizing worthless press conferences, I took the initiative and spoke with Julius Malema, one of the most respected voices in South Africa, and urged him to prevail on his people to sheath their swords and allow peace to reign.

“I will be going to South Africa soon to visit Malema in order to evolve strategies and actions that would end this inhumanity being meted on innocent Nigerians by South Africans once and for all,” he said.

He pleaded with Nigerians back home to exercise restraint in the face of this grievous acts of provocation emanating from South Africa.

“If the South Africans are exhibiting madness, we must maintain our sanity by not attacking businesses owned by Nigerians here but operating under franchises owned by South Africans.

“It is unfortunate that most business outlets now suffering reprisals in the country are 100 per cent owned by Nigerians operating under franchise.

“Therefore any loss of lives or destruction of businesses in Nigeria in reaction to what is happening in South Africa would amount to double jeopardy for Nigeria,” he said.

The political activist commiserated with families that have lost loved ones in the fracas.

He also sympathized with Nigerians who have sustained injuries, lost property or businesses as a result of the attacks and urged them not to take laws into their hands but to allow justice to prevail.

The world has grown past the age of long gibberish

It's a speed and compact age where informations are quickly imbibed, decimated, and decoded in minutes.

How can Timi believe a president would have the time to read the novel he composed.

Like they do say "Action speaks louder than Voice"

We no get time go dey read this long grammars anymore

Write Buhari..

before we preach to foreigners against xenophobia, we must first preach to ourselves about the hate tribalism broods.

when Nigerian hate themselves, how do you expect others to accept and respect you.

All these talks changes nothing, until a counter force is carried out.

Unfortunately we are helpless

I personally didn't read past the first paragraph... The guy is still writing an Epistle

chei

If only the president would read this, but it seems like he is turning a deaf ears to the issue on ground, if not something would have been done

End Dstv, end BigbrotherNaija

Meanwhile Buhari is waiting for orders from Abba Kyari

The letter will be trashed...

Nothing new...

Just a repeat

Now that you have shown yourself .... I will dash you chairman of your local post

I KNOW IF HE IS ALIVE THIS WON'T HAVE HAPPEN

Trying to be relevant by all means.

Xenophobia Morning Brief

So, Nigerians have been attacking stores owned by South Africans in Nigeria and people are attacking them for it.

While these acts should be condemned, the narrative that Nigerians own these South African companies under franchise is an absolute lie.

Shoprite

The South African chain store is owned 100% by South Africa parent company and does not have any Nigerian as owner. What they do is approach the owner of a Mall (like Ikeja city Mall) and rent a space for their products. These products are sourced from local suppliers and foreign suppliers. However, once a local supplier delivers the goods to Shoprite, Shoprite is responsible for the safety of the goods and MUST pay the supplier should anything happen to the goods. So Nigerians are not affected.

However, the entire Mall is not owned by Shoprite, just the Shoprite store in the Mall.

MTN Nigeria

MTN Nigeria is not owned by Nigerians in whole. In fact, 85% of MTN Nigeria is directly owned by the South African company. MTN parent company own 76% while Stanbic IBTC (also South African) own 9%. The remaining are shared across many other organizations, including MTN cooperative society.

When MTN listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange, the shareholders refused to let go of their shares for public purchase.

DSTV Nigeria

DSTV Nigeria is a franchise owned by Mr. Ogunsanya of Multichoice. However, all revenues of the company go to South Africa while DSTV Nigeria only submits quarterly budgets to run the DSTV Nigeria to South Africa. The only way DSTV Nigeria gets paid is in the area of selling decoders, dish installation and others.

This is not to promote violent but merely a piece of information.

A better solution will be to write IGBO leaders.

...Demand IGBO people stop drug dealing and criminal activities all over the world that's putting other Nigerians at risk
...Seek apology for innocent Nigerians tarnished by the activities of mainly a single tribe
...Visit IGBO leaders, groups, communities and embassies around the world.
...Call on Ndigbo to intervene

The South African Government have not taken any decisive steps in curbing this ugly menace. It's sad. Compensate victims for loses, ensure adequate protection of lives and properties of other Nationals in your country. Is this too much to ask?

South Africans have made it loud and clear that they do not want black foreigners in their country. Over the years ,attacks like this have continued unabeited , there has been meetings upon meetings, summons upon summons yet these attacks get worse every time. All diplomatic avenues have been exhausted in these meetings over the years ,its time to try something else.

#cutdiplomatictieswithsouthafrica


Lets make this hast tag go viral,enough is enough.since our leaders have refused to take decisive actions

If Nigerians decide to retaliate, SA stands to lose more.

Are you mentally deranged?

That's why it's always good thing to balance trade between countries.
That's why it's always good to migrate with the full support of your government.
That's why it's always good to respect Locals and build community.

See, these issues are very revealing even within our relations as Nigerians.
You wonder why Presido dey silent, sebi u no want RUGA, SA no want u too!
You say we no get government for Naija, now you want THAT SAME govt to bail you out.

Meanwhile you simply lack respect, social and community building relationship/skills. The only thing you know is finding local girls to plug, have a baby and that's the extent of your social skills. They say sebi we're intermarrying.

No need for violence. Not all Nigerians support trashing Shoprite, DSTV etc. Migration is a govt to govt affair. You need to refrain from referring to your hosts as jealous, lazy, or saying stuff like: we are your big brothers, if not that we don't have leaders what is SA, SA is not up to common Lagos, we helped your leaders when racists were whipping your asses, y'all can't do without us, you will suffer if we leave cos we provide jobs for you. You know all those kind of childish/laughable stuff you normally say to ignite social media trends make you look like uncouth kids.

I see all those stuff and shake my head. You even invite your friends to join in the whopping. I never understood what you gain by exposing this to the outside world but somehow you think Cyber Superiority translates to Economic might/ development. These careless talk aggravates the situation, makes them even 'more' bitter and spiteful. It is this GODAWFUL behavior has become a trademark with Nigerians everywhere it seems.

I am here to tell u these crass talk, criminal tendency and lack of respect is responsible in great part for what is going on today affecting the whole country and roping along the entire continent - SA locals will tell you Nigerians are the main targets... that today, the story is an all african thing is just a warning to u to change ur ways before it gets to another country and they single you out...our name has been dragged enough in the muddy news last month.

To tell you how much this attitude of talking crap has made SA despise you, it is not even at the individual/community level, it a govt thing. Some years back I remember SA commemorated Independence or was it Nelson Mandelas death, the SA govt listed countries who stood by them in times of struggle against apartheid and guess what? Nigeria was NOT listed..

Ghana was.
