Hmm its high time we sanction them

Do me I do u no dey good sometimes.
We choose dialogue than retaliation

motymop:
The govt can not nationalise mtn and dstv

We need foreign investment.
Nationalising those companies will send a wrong message to international investors

Yeah. They can't, unless they want Nigeria to experience what happened to Zimbabwe.

Nigerians would suffer if you start freezing -up South African subsidiaries in Nigeria.A better diplomacy is needed than taking measures that would stop our own people from being gainfully employed.We appreciate you, minister for what you are doing so far but thread carefully.Trade and commence equals growth.Nigerians are also heavily invested on MTNN,Stanbic lbtc equity and bonds for example.

Very wishy-washy response. Na diplomatic talk sha.

FG should impose additional 20% tax on SA firms to compensate Nigerians returning home after losing everything in SA. And to give succur to the bereaved families of xenophobic murders.

NASS should pass a bill: Compensation of Victims and Families of Victims of Anti-immigrant (Victims of Xenophobia) Injustices, Persecutions, Injuries, Deaths and Others in Foreign Countries Act 2026.

If that happens, powerbrokers in SA with massive shares in MTN, DSTV, Multi-Choice and others will push SA govt to control xenophobia.

Nigerian subscribers would only end up paying that 20% tax...


But I agree that compensation should be pushed for returnees by affected countries.


Countries like Ghana through their president mahama has already said he would push for compensation from S/A government for it's citizens affected in the next AU meeting.


I really like the way the Ghanian government handled the whole thing. South Africa were careful with them and really respected them even though they still carried out their intentions... but it was with care and respect.


Nigerians on the other hand they treat without respect because they know we have a useless government that is always talking of diplomacy even when its citizens are being killed.


To them it's always about not further straining the useless relationship between both countries!

We should nationalised their firms here

No one will nationalised anything.

South Africans are good people. I have been to the country

South Africans are only angry with those criminals from certain parts of Nigeria

I can't believe this woman was once a wife of great and fearless emeka Ojukwu....though I know that FG don't really care about citizens or their welfare ...a serious country should have surmounted SA ambassador to Nigeria and give them ultimatum to end this madness or face serious sanctions from the rest of African continent

Ojukwu was a lily livered chicken

I remain disappointed in Globacom and other indigenous organizations.

This should have been the key moment to take over this telecom and satellite tv space, with the growing disaffection against those Zulus.

Under normal circumstances, MTN and others should be packing their bags to leave... The boycott shouldn"t just be within Nigeria but all over Africa, especially West and East Africa.

Completely isolating South Africa shouldn't even be debated, and it shouldn't be difficult... But, Africans, just like typical Nigerians, have never learned to unite for great and impactful things.

No wonder the continent is perpetually being plundered and exploited by foreigners.

Smh!!!

Globacom won't take over anything.

South Africans are good people.

They are only angry with those criminals from Nigeria who come to their country to constitute nuisance in their space

Awonda o.

Some useless NPCs are in support of this nonsense stance.

With all his faults, oga Oshiomole is doing the right thing now.

Imagine if I was in charge of a Shadow government during matters like this...

MarketDispatch:
The ones we nationalized back in the days where are they today?

Ordinary refinery, NNPC cannot run.

British Petroleum (BP): In July 1979, the federal government nationalized the London-based oil giant's assets entirely, which led to the expansion of the state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

Hmmm... story.
If we were downhill since independence, that crazy move was the hangman's trap door dropping.

It was the stupidest thing this country had ever done since independence.

45 years later we are running all over the world like headless chickens looking for foreign investors without any iota of success.

And to rub salt into injury, look at the country we mortgaged our own economy for, chasing us out...

The British, Americans and the Dutch will be laughing their heads off.

Yawns...!

We Nigerians are angry with Foreigners from Chad, Benin Republic, Ghana, Niger, and other nations doing terrorist acts here.

But, do you see us destroying and killing all foreigners?!! Do the acts of a few mean all are guilty?! How are they differentiating the criminals from the law-abiding ones?!!

Abeg, go sleep!

The telecommunication regulatory body can be mandated to stop any price hike by SA companies. All the loopholes for SA companies to escape FG tax hike unhurt can be blocked by a determined FB/legislature.

FG can interfere with private businesses in the national interest.

Fact is this: a lot of our stolen money is in SA. Many politicians who have the power to do something know how vulnerable they are. So, they won't dare SA.

True. Leaders of all the countries that labelled Mandela a terrorist lined up to praise him at his funeral. Nigeria had no prominent place at the funeral.

Those countries that kept doing business with and supported Apartheid SA, their citizens travel visa free to SA today. 9ja are being chased out.

Nobody respects you if you can't look after and protect your citizens at home.

Julibet:
I swear but Glo hasn't been able to live up to the standard of being a reference for good Network.

and that is the issue , it's easy to send MTN away but the local companies have been stagnet in a nigeria way and have not step up for many years . We should ask how come Glo reception as at now is very limited with the amount of resources they have . Maybe because it's a one man business maybe ?

SA has powerful friends all over South, East and North Africa. Francophone West Africa couldn't be bothered. It's just Ghana and Nigeria fighting a lone battle.

Yup. This is exactly how it is, except, Nigerians aren't the only nuisance

North Africa has similar illegal migration problems, East African powerhouses have already sided with SA and SADC always resolves matters in-house.

As if she has a spine to go against, the hefty Nigerians who own shares in these South African franchise..

lol, it’s well and God keep the common safe from the predators both with and outside the shores of Nigeria

You are missing the point. She is a trained lawyer with a law degree so she can think out of the box. No serious country will ever Touch MTN because the South African Government is not behind the xenophobia attacks all these people talking of nationalising MTN don't understand history, Look at the Mess Robert Mugabe caused when he took back lands from the whites Agriculture collapsed. It is better to punish people for committing crimes than punish people because people they did not know committed crimes

Thank you for your response that is why nationalising Anything is Extremely dangerous is Nigeria they did " nationalise " NITEL by selling it to Nigerian investors and that company has not been heard of. Government cannot even give Dangote all the crude he needs then regulate his prices. People calling for Nationalising MTN are dreamers, did they not nationalise ShopRite ?

Triple their tax, while giving them strict regulations to avoid ripple effect on Nigerians.

They will decide to close on stay and pay more.

If they go, win, win, as we return to Nigerian service providers

Nigerians are terrible managers. As a matter of fact, blacks are terrible managers of anything. If there are any group of blacks managing and growing business organically anywhere i dont knoww of them.
From Haiti to Africa to America. Blacks are hunters who hunt what is available in the wild and never mutipliers.
Even South Africa and Zimbabwe who appear to be punching above the average black prosperity line are just lucky to have whites among them.

For how long diplomacy when it's clearly not working...?

Sometimes the best diplomacy is to give someone a taste of their own medicine. Then their brains would reset.

At this point someone is still talking about or scared of further straining the relationship between both countries. When the other party clearly doesn't care about that relationship.


That's what you say when you don't have the cohones to do what it takes to respond to threat.

No one man- or country, has monopoly of madness!

You nailed it when you say give a taste of same,Am a woman who doesn't support beating a woman but before my very eye yesterday a wayward woman abused an old titled man, yesterday was my friend's birthday and the man joined our seating not quite long before this tiger of a woman came in aggressively and made me even thought that was the man's wife but na sidechick , women this days dey shock me,I was even so shocked at the man's calmness till she scattered my friend table of beer when we managed buy just to vibe up thinking the man bought them, we all kept calm and even quietly adjusted to avoid injury,but her last move made our day,she too vibrated for almost 1hour before coming to the adjusted location to grab a tittled man's dick ,na so I watched WWE and e sweet me,the guy first comot the ring on him finger and guess what it ended happily well
