The High Commission of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has issued a safety advisory to Nigerians residing in South Africa following rising tensions, particularly in the Eastern Cape Province.

In the advisory released from Pretoria, the mission urged Nigerian nationals to exercise heightened caution and prioritise their personal safety in light of the evolving situation.

The commission advised citizens to limit movement, avoid interactions with unfamiliar individuals, and maintain a low profile at all times. It also called on Nigerians to strictly obey local laws and respect cultural norms within their host communities.

As part of precautionary measures, Nigerians were urged to suspend social and cultural gatherings, avoid making provocative statements on social or mainstream media, and steer clear of protests or demonstrations that could escalate tensions.

The advisory further cautioned against unnecessary display of wealth or flamboyance, while encouraging individuals to promptly report any security threats to local authorities.

Citizens were also advised to seek guidance from the Nigerian High Commission in Pretoria or the Consulate General in Johannesburg if uncertain about safety procedures.

The diplomatic mission reaffirmed its commitment to the welfare of Nigerians abroad and urged full compliance with the outlined measures during this period of uncertainty.

Igbos no dey hear word. You can pick anyone to lead you guys without noise or big events.

VOsimhen144:
Nigerians should learn to respect other countries decisions.
If South Africa 🇿🇦 doesn’t want a king in Nigeria’s community over there then obey their instructions.

Una no find “leader or chairman” as title, you people went as far as “king”. That’s too deep.

shortgun:
Igbos no send anybody papa

alanto:
Ancestral monarch wey this people no get dey disturb them too much.

Okoyeeboz:
Yes na
Na why them dey pick them like beans for India.

Stop Nigerians, separate Igbos, ask others to go and hold the Igbos for questioning.

In Pakistan, once they see Chi in your name, na straight deportation. They won't even allow you leave the airport.

Okoyeeboz:
Honestly
Their chieftaincy titles sef, them dey sell am for Shoprite.

My friend you guys should stop giving credence to stupidity and nonsense. So if someone decided tomorrow to call himself a king that automatically made him a monarch? And that will make you go on a senseless rampage...? Who installed and made him an Igbo king? Who are his subjects and what is the jurisdiction of his authority? If the so-called King broke South African law , what stopped them from arresting and prosecuting him? This is one the reasons no one respects Africa, a whole region of a nation throwing tantrums like children . Instead of you condemn what is bad you are here throwing words around... you think those guys can differentiate between the tribes in Nigeria?
