On the ongoing atrocities against Nigerians in South Africa, someone on social media suggested that Nigerians in the country should round up the Nigerian embassy there, beat the ambassador to pulp till he ends up in the hospital and then set the building ablaze.

This advise to diaspora Nigerians seem in order especially now that violence appears to be the only language that APC (a government that pleads with and offers millions of naira to bandits, terrorists and kidnapers) understands...

My question to Nigerians, home and abroad is this; can an APC led Buhari's government that has grossly failed to protect Nigerian lives at home protect the same Nigerian lives abroad? Does charity not begin at home anymore?

Can you put (although it is now obvious Buhari stole Atiku's mandate) a crown on the head of a clown who can not lift a finger to help himself and expect a king who can protect his subjects?

Here at home, we sink boreholes to provide our own water, we buy generators to provide ourselves with electricity, we fence ourselves in with walls and iron bars for protection, we literarily take our own security into our own hands, diaspora Nigerians now face the same fate...at least that's what the action of the embassy, the ambassador and the experiences and testimonies of countless Nigerians living abroad has proven...

And to you shameless and evil minded South Africans who attack fellow blacks, given the pain that the black man has undergone throughout his history, if your evil behaviour proves anything, it is that it buttresses the fact that "there is something fundamentally wrong with the black man". You kiss the foot of the sculpture of a white man whom you fear and hate at the same time, avoid the the Chinese and Indians and yet attack fellow blacks who only want to survive because their governments at home have failed them, shame on you...

Attacking Nigerians, a country that stood by you during your darkest days and even hid your great Madiba in her shores for many months during apartheid won't solve your problems, the solution lies with you looking inwards and changing your own atitude and perception of reality...

And for Nigerians at home, since Buhari has proven to be the monumental failure and disaster that he is, let me remind us that, there are South Africans, and South African businesses here also...

Let me leave this here for now...
