I just dont understand what is wrong with those people honestly. What's the basis for the comparison really? undecided

The same trump whom they appear to be totally beholden to is the one that had invited the TALIBAN to CAMP DAVID for negotiations!!

Imagine what they would have said had such a decision been taken by a nigerian president. I imagine that for a second.

You are not a thing, you are human, therefore, you cant say you are UPCOMING, you are UP AND COMING.

Upcoming is meant for inanimate objects or events, up and coming is meant for people.

Most people dont seem to get this distinction.

Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, says the Federal Government is pressing for compensation for affected Nigerians in the recent xenophobic attacks in South Africa.


Dabiri-Erewa stated this at the maiden Diaspora Lecture of Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA).

The lecture was entitled: “Role of Africans in Diaspora in the Transformation of a University of Technology.”

Dabiri–Erewa, who was represented by Mr Abdul-Rahman Balogun, her Special Assistant on Media, noted that the Nigerian government was also putting in place measures to ensure perpetrators were prosecuted and justice is given.

According to her, those that have been evacuated to Nigeria would be well taken care of.

Dabiri-Erewa also enjoined all state governments to create a Diaspora Desk, saying Nigeria has the highest diaspora potentials in Africa and the third in the world.



Prof. Mobolaji Aluko, the pioneer Vice-Chancellor of Federal University, Otuoke, and guest lecturer at the occasion, said Nigerian universities of technology should ensure that they have foreign students’ enrolment through scholarship programme for them.

Aluko, also a Special Adviser and Director-General, Office of Transformation, Strategy and Delivery Office in Ekiti, urged universities to sustain regular academic calendar.

He also called for a conducive environment for learning in universities while parents should develop scientific mindset in their children.

“We need to start to develop scientific minds in all our children. We should not stop them from being inquisitive and they should walk in groups because nobody achieves anything individually.

” They should be given little problems to solve right from their primary school level,” he said.

In his remarks, Prof. Joseph Fuwape, the Vice-Chancellor of FUTA, said that Africa was blessed with great human and material resources.

Fuwape noted that Nigerians in particular had continued to contribute immensely to the global economy.

He promised that FUTA would give fresh impetus to collaboration between researchers in Nigeria and abroad to promote national development.

“This programme would assist us a great deal to identify gaps in transformation trajectory needed for Africa to take its pride of place in the comity of nations,” he added.

Dabiri-Erewa, Dr Mohammed Mustapha Lecky and Dr Babatope Agbeyo were given Goodwill Ambassador awards by FUTA management.

Before demanding compensation from the South African government on the xenophobic attack on Nigerians the federal government should also do proper documentation on the true victims of the attack especially those who lost their lives.

We don't understand diplomacy in this country. That's what happens when you make a former reporter a 'diplomat'. We should be seeking ways of mending our broken relationship, while repatriating many Nigerians that wish to return home. How much compensation did Nigeria pay the families of those who lost loved ones at SCOAN? Let's stop aggregating the issue and further endanger the lives of thousands of other Nigerians still in SA.

Makes sense..Many damages will be done if compensation is enforced after all. TB Joshua saga also claimed many of their citizens' life

Coward government....
They are still begging the issue by demanding compensation....I trust Abacha...by now all south African properties in Nigeria could have felt the heat of the General....
ShopRite , MTN and co .. could have been counting their lost in South Africa...

This government doesn't have any meaningful thing for his citizens..
Because they intend to increase minimum wage , they have hike the tax rate...so what is the essence of the increasing.... struggle continue....

You saved me some time with this comment, most people who go about idolizing and making baseless comparisons like that are easily swayed by public opinion borne out of ignorance.

IGBO criminals should pay for sending hundreds of South African women with drugs to their imprisonment and deaths abroad!
IGBO criminals should pay South Africa for the many locals who have become addicted to (or died from) Drugs!

These idiots speak about xenophobia without discussing the wider issue of what partly drove the locals to such hate!
