Following the recent xenophobic attack in South Africa, a building belonging to telecommunication giant, MTN was set on in retaliation, Igbere TV has learnt.

In a video obtained by Igbere TV on Tuesday night, we identified the affected branch office to be located in Bodija area of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

Igbere TV gathered that the office had earlier been shut following the widespread reprisal attack on South African companies in Nigeria.

Irate protesters had on Tuesday, stormed some South African companies including PEP, Shoprite, attempting to vandalise and loot the offices but for the quick intervention of security operatives.

The MTN office in Ibadan was said to have been set on fire midnight by angry individuals who reportedly regrouped in their large numbers to carry out the act.

As at the time of filing this report, men of the fire service were said to have arrived the scene to put out the fire, with the police putting the situation under control.

Na wa o

But why won't both governments of Nigeria and south Africa do something serious about this...

Oh my God! Arnachy looming...

Since our government cannot do anything to protect Nigerians lives property then the citizens will show south Africa their own pound of flesh. Bunch of ingrates

Say no yo xenophobia

Why them do am for night? Them dey fear social media power?

So sad

President Jubril Al-sudan is picking his teeth in aso rock after taking hot suya and cold kunu. He is thinking about Sudan.

As a matter of urgency, every Nigerian left in South Africa should be assisted in getting out of the country immediately by the Nigeria government, the diplomatic ties between the two nations should also be suspended as advised by Ekweremadu, else history will not be kind to Buhari on this matter.

Oh, the double standards in the nature of man.

See how the xenophobes (SA Kettles) and the unrepentant tribalists (Nigerian pots) are struggling to outdo one another in proving who is blacker than whom...whereas all parties are guilty of hatred and jealousy within themselves.

One of the greatest folly I have seen in this realm of existence is how humans have allowed differences they made no conscious choice of to rip apart the very fiber of their existence. No one consciously decided to be a Yoruba, Ibo, Hausa, Fulani, Zulu e.t.c, but unfortunately, we have allowed these differences to empower us in destroying one another.

Xenophobia, Tribalism, Racism are merely outlets to express the deep rooted hatred and jealousy in man for his fellow man. Kindness or wickedness is a choice. Until we address the underlying causes of this nonsense (hatred and jealousy), we will keep reacting emotionally to the results (SA Xenophobia, Rwandan Genocide, Nigerian Civil war e.t.c) ...rather than the cause...which is tantamount to taking paracetamol to ease the pains of cancer.

So ironic how the guilty parties think they can live in harmony and unity in heaven, whereas they are at each other's throat here on earth.

The ironic thing in all these xenophobic attacks by South African blacks is that under the Apartheid government,every legitimate businessman or woman was allowed to go about his or her business,maybe just some restrictions on location,which was fully relaxed towards the tail end of Apartheid but with the white government still provided full security for lives,property and livelihood.
But as soon as they handed over fully to blacks,black racism immediately started manifesting,just being noticed now because it now seems to have reached a crescendo and is more easily and widely publicized due to social media and internet.
Maybe the Dutch shouldn't have given these black haters power in the first place.Who could have believed that just a few years down d line, Apartheid government could be said to be better than the ones run by blacks.No wonder they sometimes call them "black, hateful,monkeys".
