Discussion on Nigerian response to SA protests and High Commissioner Designate @05:50)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls0Zab1ikUA?si=UN3MPqZlaH0CTpnx

ANCHOR (THULASIZWE): Tell us about the new ambassador that is being sent to South Africa. Perhaps there is a pathway to heightened diplomatic engagement, if you look at the meeting that happened in Nigeria and now we're hearing of a delegation coming, as well as what you are about to tell us about a new ambassador that is being sent to South Africa.

CORRESPONDENT (SOPHIE): Yes, both countries are working very hard to try and find a solution, because both countries need each other... And now today we saw breaking news in the afternoon. At the moment, there's no high commissioner of Nigeria in Pretoria. There's an acting high commissioner, as you saw him now.

There's an announcement that the permanent or Ambassador designate, or High Commissioner designate, is coming now, and he did post on social media, quite promising comments where he expressed the view that he was supposed to be posted in Germany, but he chose to come to South Africa, and requested that he rather come to South Africa because he feels that he supports South Africa's international position, particularly on multilateralism and other issues. And therefore, in terms of his convictions and beliefs, it sounds like he's a good politician. He feels this country is a shining example at the global stage, and he resonates with the positions of South Africa at global level, resonates with his conviction and his belief, and therefore that was promising.

Even though there are kind of disturbing comments from the new Minister of Foreign Affairs who was appointed on Friday when she talks about the telephone conversation with our Minister of international relations. There were some words used in the statement that are disturbing where she talks about judicial killings, and it is almost similar to President Donald Trump's language as it relates to the Afrikaners, because there's no judicial killings in South Africa. It's this rising tension that leads to conflict and violence and criminality also coming in opportunistic stand off, because it's election year, and therefore it's a complex matter. And therefore I think South Africa would also feel aggrieved with the use of "judicial killings".

THULASIZWE: Sophie to quote, and I have that tweet by the ambassador designate to South Africa, Femi Fani Kayode, who was meant, as you say, to have been deployed to Germany, but actually made representations to President Bola Tinubu to say, please send me to South Africa. And he says, quote, "I also express the fact that I would rather serve in a country that shares some of my convictions, beliefs and values when it comes to world affairs, that is the biggest economy in Africa, that has closer ties to Nigeria and that is more proximate to my political thinking when it comes to foreign affairs and a Pan African vision. End quote."

I actually dont get your point...

You guys should respect yourselves in that SA,our new Ambassador designate Femi fani kayode is a no nonsense person.

SA media chats responded to FFK being the new Ambassador, and Bianca’s comment regarding what’s going on in SA..

This one's dey take ffk serious thinking say na better person him be,not knowing that the man bends his brain and heart where there is food on the table regardless... Germany reject na him south Africa dey celebrate

illicit:
I actually don't get your point...

FFK has been very vocal on his condemnation of Israel's ongoing genocidal war on Palestinians.

FFK posted recently that he supports and admires SA's stance on global issues.

You do know that SA was the first country to drag Israel to the Hague for war crimes and genocide.

I believe you guys are going to have it very tough in SA with FFK being the designated ambassador there as he will not in any way be covering for your misbehavious that has contributed at large to rising xenophobic attacks in SA.

Also, the SA police arrested a group of Nigerian drug dealers who were recruited to take part in protests in SA over the rescent wave of Xenophobic attacks.

I have warned here that Israel will engage these criminals to demarket SA just as Israel is also backing I.P.O.B to demarket Nigeria in the US

All former ambassadors to SA have always maintained that most of the killings involving Nigerians in SA were committed by rival drug gangs on each other.

FFK will amplify this when he assumes his post and let the world know who is really the culprit and reason for these xenophobic response.

In that case hell quickly find himself in the naughty corner alongside Trump's new guy in SA who started running his mouth off a few days after arriving in March this year. SA didn't have none of dat! Bozell is now a good little boy in SA 😎

They have been scammed by FFK..



FFK was rejected by the Germans because of his big mouth..

Very soon all his previously written articles against South Africa will be ressurected and forwarded to South Africans and then he will proclaim his love for Burundi or Afghanistan..

What is my business with who is killing who in south Africa...?...even if you give me free visa with free lifetime accomodation and lifetime salary to go live in south Africa, I won't accept it so people who sees no where else to go than that xenophobic shit hole amapiano devotees should take whatever they get...

I have said it several time, I am Nigeria, will remain here in my father's land , invest here and make it big here ...I just pray by June I get the funds I need to expand my farm ,..wetin concern me with people wey their shape of head sef no make sense to start with... mtcheewww...

Bianca Ojukwu was rumoured to have personally lobbied for FFK to be sent to South Africa instead of Germany....

Are you 🤔 what I am thinking?

Tinubu, watch your back!

Cope harder!

FFK has been the most vocal critic of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza and the West Bank.

He said he wanted to represent Nigeria in SA so as to collaborate with SA on this ongoing issue .

You can spin it however you want but one thing I know is that FFK, like every past Nigerian ambassador to SA will not be sugar coating and making excuses for your criminality in that country that is fueling the Xenophobic response.

Did they beg you to come to their country?

Channel your rants to those Nigerians that are in SA living fully on crime.

Sophie is good at her job, no doubt, but even she can't explain away how vile ordinary South Africans are. The countries whose citizens you're mobbing are your biggest trading partners on the continent. If they come together and decide to punish you for your xenophobic activities, the opportunities you're envying their citizens for will disappear from your own country.

As for FFK, forget the flowery words about alignment, his fallout with his host is inevitable.

The position of an ambassador comes with a lot of responsibilities and maturity. Ffk is more matured now in handling issues.

Like president, like ambassador. Very dubious set of people.

boldly and aptly said, sincerely President Tinubu will get it right for sending Kayode to South Africa than Germany his aims and goals will be more achievable there.

Hmm,Bianca foreign affairs minister and FFK ambassador,two ex,lodging in one of SA hotel go ignite the old vibes.....South Africans should stop xeno o

They didn't tell us how Germany rejected him because of his past records as a tribalistic and religious lifestyle, his backing of terrors through shedding them also contributed to his rejection from Germany.

FFK and his girlfriend are back together. 1st Kaw of Okafor proven right again
