Alot of the people who went to destroy shoprite and mtn offices are hypocrites. This also includes online warriors like some of you reading this comment. Yes YOU!!!!

How many of these Nigerian protesters both onsite and online will be willing for DStv to be shut down and forfeit watching Super Sports (EPL, LA LIGA, SERIE A, CHAMPIONS LEAGUE), even BB NAIJA for at least 3 months so as to register our grievances against the barbaric treatment on our people in SA?

You reading this comment, are you angry with South Africa enough to demand DStv shutdown? undecided

Bro I don't know who u are referring to as hypocrites buh I assure u that oby ezekwesili will always be a backstabber. Im from Anambra state too like oby n will never support or justify her betrayal. In a case like this, I expect educated ones like u to be voicing out on solutions not bringing tribalism into a sensitive issue like this xenophobic attacks...
Please let's be mature in this forum

Presidents are elected from very sharp and intelligent people, not from people who will need many people to explain to them what happened three days ago.

Yeah, They usually have PhD.

JIM OVIA WITHDRAWS FROM THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM

Following the hypersensitivity of the issues surrounding the lives and well-being of Nigerian citizens living in South Africa and to contribute his voice against the poor state of security regarding foreign nationals living in Africa, the Founder/Chairman of Zenith Bank Plc, Mr. Jim Ovia has withdrawn from further activities at the World Economic Forum Africa 2019, taking place in Cape Town, South Africa.

Before taking his exit, Mr. Ovia stressed the need for youth empowerment and better government policies to curb continual attacks on persons living within and outside Africa. He belaboured that until positive change towards collective growth happens on this front, the continent would not reach its potential.

Mr. Ovia added that full support should be rendered in vocational education of the young persons living in not just Nigeria but Africa. According to him, the Jim Ovia Foundation has taken up a stance on this issue, having empowered over 3,500 students and entrepreneurs since its inception. He called on other members of the private sector to join hands and solve this menace plaguing the African continent.

Man...I had this same thought yesterday or the day before.
How come these protesters didn't move anywhere close to the DSTV/Multichoice offices outlets considering the fact that there are so many more of them scattered all over the place compared to the Shoprite and MTN outlets Or has DSTV suddenly become a fully Nigerian company??

This is really a pointer to the fact that the AVERAGE Nigerian is a selfish person & will not do things, no matter how good or necessary, to hurt his/her own personal interests!

That's what happens when you have a snail slow president.

Jim Ovia obviously didn't get any hint of a united response from the Nigerian government as somebody was busy picking his teeth for 48 hours.

Finally, he was dragged out to hold a photo shoot session where Osinbajo later cancelled his SA travel.

This should have been done like 28 hours ago before even Jim hopped on the plane. The country is on auto pilot.

If you love your country to the core, you can even turn back at the door of conference center.

He does not need government to make his decision

Elrufai and fayemi is there too....

You people are spreading lie, they were there already for another function before xhenophobia fight backs and WEF even started:

“Contrary to some misleading online reports, Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, was not at the World Economic Forum in South Africa.
“Rather, the governor is in South Africa to honour an invitation by a long-time friend and one of Nigeria’s most celebrated journalists, Mr Dele Olojode, at Africa in the World Festival of Ideas, which held in Stellenbosch, a university town in South Africa’s Western Cape province.”
He added that, “More importantly, the event already held before the decision of the Federal Government to boycott the WEF programme.”

Mentality of blaming everyone except their own.
You need to see his comments in the other thread about Fayemi, El rufai being in WEF not only Obby, their precious daughter.
Ordinary placards, they couldn't carry in his region.

Fayemi has since denied this:

“Contrary to some misleading online reports, Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, was not at the World Economic Forum in South Africa.
“Rather, the governor is in South Africa to honour an invitation by a long-time friend and one of Nigeria’s most celebrated journalists, Mr Dele Olojode, at Africa in the World Festival of Ideas, which held in Stellenbosch, a university town in South Africa’s Western Cape province.”
