Nigeria’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs II, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, is hopeful that citizens affected by the xenophobic attacks in South Africa will be compensated.
Since the renewed attacks started last week, several Nigerians have lost their businesses and other belongings to fire set by locals on buildings where their businesses were housed.
Senator Obanikoro in an interview with Channels TV, said that Nigerian High Commissioner, Martin Cobham and other delegations were taking stock of damages done to Nigerians to ensure that adequate compensation would be given to them.

“We have situations where some of our people lost their shops in this attack.

“We are taking stock of the damages done to them and we are going to be engaging the South African Government,” senator Obanikoro said.

He stated that the South African government had been exploring different avenues to end the attacks that have claimed several lives in KwaZulu-Natal province.

“One of the major stakeholders who incited the South African community has called for a meeting this morning where some representatives of the affected countries would be addressed.

“Some traditional rulers will be there to see how they can douse the situation and ensure the safety of Nigerians and other nationals in South Africa.
“This is a very shameful situation and it has attracted a lot of international outcry.

“I think the leaders have seen the need to ensure that the xenophobic attacks do not escalate.
“The attitude is now more promising and within the next few days we should be able to put this behind us.

“We are working on how best we can get a lasting solution to the problem,” the Nigerian Minister said.

frontpage . www.nairaland.com/2257006/urgently-need-nairalanderspls#32733809 this is my life

With whose money?

We know where the money will eventually lead to

You say wetin? With all due respect obanikoro and that Zulu chief in South Africa are birds of the same feathers just that the former thinks fast while the later thinks slow like an epileptic network service

..

obanikoro can still talk after being one of the worst hit in this past elections

Obanikoro under who's government are you compensating.

Trying so hard to be seen as messianic before ther exit. Who are they fooling??

Had they worked to ensure better conditions of living for Nigerians in Nigeria instead of the unbridled looting that is their template for service, nobody would have gone searching for means of livelihood in SA.

How many victims of similar incidents in Nigeria have they compensated?? It took an election approach for them to compensate families of victims of the immigration tragedy a year after the incident.

Yeye people.

Do they have to wait for Nigerians to be attacked before they compensate them?

Another corrupt leader talking

okpismart:
No amount of money can replace lives lost

True but no Nigerian life has been lost

Koro feels he must talk

Obanikoro saying this is a good idea hopefully they do it then that means PDP can come back 2019

eaglechild:

True but no Nigerian life has been lost

ok didn't know that, but the amount of money they will be giving can't be equivalent to their losses

MzJackBaueress:
Do they have to wait for Nigerians to be attacked before they compensate them?

How can they compensate something that has not happened

If those in south africa are compensated, then what happens to the victims of various crimes, such as vandalism, theft, thuggery, burglary, violence, natural epidemic and so on the Nigerian soil. That's what you have, when you have someone incompetent occupying offices. No critical thinking and analysis before making cheap pronouncements for political gains.

MzJackBaueress:
Do they have to wait for Nigerians to be attacked before they compensate them?

Berem you be big mumu I swear.
No they should be compensate without losing anything.
