The Nigerian government’s impotence in performing its primary duty is portrayed at home and abroad in full unedifying glory and personified by the criminal negligence of President Muhammadu Buhari – foreign minister Onyeama’s boss. In the early 2000s, then governor of Lagos State Bola Tinubu said Buhari’s “ethnocentrism would jeopardize Nigeria’s national unity”. Buhari’s disdain for Nigerian lives – in stark contrast with South African president Cyril Ramaphosa – was demonstrated fully during the Commonwealth Heads of Government summit in London in April last year. Violent protests and looting in South Africa forced Ramaphosa to cut short his stay in London. Buhari carried on in London despite many Nigerians dying from Fulani herdsmen attacks and the police using live ammunition during Shia protests in Abuja.

So on the very serious matter of Nigerians being victims of attacks in South Africa, the Nigerian government has no credibility whatsoever. Nigeria’s official condemnation of such attacks runs the risk of turning these tragedies into a morbid joke, in which the government seems to be saying that the right to kill Nigerians should be the exclusive reserve of Nigerian security forces and their partners in crime such as Fulani herdsmen.

U just said it all

In fact I wouldn't be surprised that Buhari doesn't even know that Nigerians are killed like flies in SA right now

I think Buhari secretly hates Nigerians. Especially the youths. And it’s a shame this man is the president of the most youthful population in Africa

These attacks didn't start in Buhari's regime.

Every single president, governor, lg chairman that has looted Nigerian funds instead of providing basic amenities thereby forcing Nigerians to seek "greener pastures" that constitute of nothing more 24/7 electricity, good roads, quality healthcare, updated educational system, security and an economy that favours SMEs are to blame

If Nigerians had these we wouldn't need to go anywhere and get insulted by other nations.

Shame on every leader that has ruled this contraption called a nation.

And shame on Nigerians for being cowards and not fighting for out right
