BENIN—FORMER Provost Marshal of the Nigerian Army,
Brig. General Idada Ikpomnwen, said yesterday, that
rather than blame the South African government for
xenophobic attacks on foreigners, the Nigerian
government should make the country habitable, so that
the need by Nigerians to seek greener pastures anywhere
else in the world will be reduced.
Idada, who described the action of South Africans against
their African brothers as despicable, said: “We must begin
to think of how to create jobs, make good use of our
resources and make this nation great. That is the
challenge before the Federal Government and not the
action of South Africans.”
