THERE WAS A COUNTRY!� The president of this country @muhammadubuhari , I regret to know that you are a Muslim, you are a General and nothing has been done to the killings of our brothers in South Africa� but if Cows were been slaughtered, we would have seen you @muhammadubuhari on NTA news.
I regret to know that you @profosinbajo is a Christian and a professor. We thought you could do better but you are just nothing but one of them

Nigerians please stop destroying the businesses of our own people. South Africans will be laughing at us for doing this.
Questions: *How manY South Africans have you seen in your street? *How many South Africans live in your house? *How many South Africans work in your office?

Answer: NONE!!!! They don’t live here, they don’t work here coz their country is better than ours. That’s the basic truth but WE MADE THEIR COUNTRY BETTER and didn’t make ours better.

I have been to South Africa and I can tell you Their men are the laziest men in Africa. When they see Other blacks, they believe we’ve come to take their jobs, we’ve come to steal their women . South Africans have the lowest self esteem in the World.

NIGERIA can be great again if we all put this energy to Chase out the OLD ONES in power. Only REVOLUTION!

The youth of this country, instead of us destroying our business, we need to channel that energy by destroying this present government. That’s the only way out������✊� Celebrities, stop fighting yourselves over who’s posting and who is not. That’s not what we need now. We are voices. Anything we do now will strengthen our followers to make a better NATION. Wake up NIGERIA, wake up....THE PROBLEM is THE GOVERNMENT!!!!, wake UP!!!!!! Brodashaggi

He has not said anything of note.

Unless these so-called letters call out the maliagnt tribalism that decisions are made from, they aren't really saying anything. Only pretending to oneself, which Nigerians are good at anyway.

Hmm glad to know comedians are not stupid after all, only them have posted the most sensible and straight forward opinions on this sensitive topic

We hope the senseless ones robbing and looting listen to this.
Many criminals using the xenophobia issue to fulfill their fantasies of looting expensive shops.
Criminals everywhere!

Angelfrost:


He could truly be pretending... But, in the midst of his "pretense", he made more sense than all your elder statesmen... So, I will give him a pass on this one.

madridsta007:


He has not done anything different from what others have done- that is mentioning the problems and issues in Nigeria. That is easy to do. But worthless. It is like chasing a fruit and leaving the root to grow- it will always grow and produce more fruits when you are not looking.

What is brave, which many Nigerians are scared of doing, is to directly confront the "root cause"- which is tribalism and the deference to ethnic affliations in leadership selection, in decision-making, in everything. Largely. South Africans have taken the display of xenophobia to Nigerians because they read and see news on social media and know that Nigeria has a prevalent leadership problem. They know that it is not an OBJ that is there but someone who is probably unaware of what is happening. Hence incompetence. An incompetent leadership. Else South Africa would not have allowed this violence to go on. They know Abba Kyari and Buhari will do nothing. Come on, they have High Commissions and Embassies in Nigeria. These are Intel Centres. You think they do not know the leadership vacuum in Nigeria? Or the root cause?

But hey, we know this but seemingly appear to be afraid of mentioning this root cause. You give him a "pass". I do not.

MAYOWAAK:
The government has shown the utmost restraint in dealing with this diplomatic impasse with South Africa

You don't have to like the government or those in power

All you need is a little knowledge of how international relations work

Contrary to the desire by some that Nigeria should have attacked South Africa with all guns blazing

It just doesn't work that way with international protocols and conventions.

Especially if you're dealing with a country of equal or near-equal standing in the international community

Nigeria and South Africa are equal in economic, military and political influence in international circles.

In bilateral trade, the balance of trade differentials tilt in our favour.

In 2018, Nigeria’s imports from South Africa amounted to just $514.3 Million while South Africa’s imports from Nigeria were $3.83 Billion. (Source: UN COMTRADE data)

In layman terms, this means that we make more money from trading with South Africa than they do with us so we need to thread gently and not jeopardize an economy already gasping for breath by taking rash decisions.

All of these factors matter a lot in international relations between nation states.

So you don't expect Nigeria to approach (not even invade) South Africa the way we would do to Togo for example.

Because, despite the theoretical equality of all sovereign nations, some are more equal than others.

Even America didn't rush to invade China the last time they had a trade war

And they've kept Russia at arms-length all these while

Only fighting one another by proxy.

You must exhaust all diplomatic channels in a case like this.

You can recall your Ambassador

You can cancel bilateral agreements

You can suspend direct relations e.g issuance of Visa

You can exert pressure on your allies to boycott the other country

If you have the clout, you can even get the super powers to look the other way while you pursue aggressive actions against the other country

But you must, always, get international opinion on your side

Except if you're USA or you're a maverick leader like Vladmir Putin.

So, your social media influencer wearing coat and speaking big grammar

Is just misleading you by saying the government should have done xyz.

We simply DO NOT have that leverage against South Africa.

Tell him I said he's an olodo rabata.

International laws and conventions don't work like that

Not especially for a third world country like ours.

Let's hope saner heads will prevail and we can quickly work things out with South Africa

Because both countries really need one another to provide leadership for Africa.
