💬 Question of the Day: What is the best way for Nigeria to respond to reports of xenophobic attacks on its citizens in South Africa?

Let's discuss about this .

Please don't make racist and tribalistic comments on this section

You will only unemploy more Nigerians

We should act like matured Big Brother so we don’t do what will affect our citizens working for them

Our Government response to this is always predictable. You cannot depend on them to make good decisions concerning what is happening in S/A

This is not necessary. They pay taxes and employ people.

Start companies that will compete with them. As long as these companies match or exceed their quality, employees and revenues eventually flow from company SA to company NG. Nigerians will patronize who offers better quality and will naturally prefer NG products that match the quality of SA products. Let things remain capitalist and competitive.

Introduce additional taxation if their headquarters are in SA and they pay most of their taxes abroad.

If the SA owners send most of their personal income back to SA which means they’re not reinvesting profits on the country where they earned the money, that’s capital flight, tax them more.

That's only fair enough. One one is not offence.

They can engage them to sell off their business and won't leave with the proceed like the UK did to Abrahimovich with Chelsea. All the workers will be retained while giving it to a capable hand.

The only good book says- DO NOT RETURN EVIL FOR EVIL BUT OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD

Is Babtee no longer the president?

U people better mind una biz.Wen our blodas dey drag Kingship ,install EZE up/down,doing drugs,,doing cultists nkoh!

It is long over dew. Do me I do you God no go vex. MTN and shopwrite should be shot down.

Honestly, I just feel embittered whenever I remember how the then Nigerian Central Government and Nigerians at large stood by South Africa during the Apartheid Era.

We were forced to donate part of the stipends we were getting as upkeep in Secondary School to the course of fighting Apartheid against the black South Africans.

As the class captain, I was made to receive corporal punishment for not writing "APARTHEID IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY" at the entrance of our classroom in solidarity with the same South Africans who are now doing the same.

Instead of NANS to address the elephant in the room, that is, the drug traffickers bringing shame and ridicule to other Nigerians, they’re hiding behind one finger and playing to the gallery

SA politicians, not businesses, should be targeted. Nigeria needs an agency while issues lawsuits and legal investigations on people who violate Nigerians abroad in their respective countries. As it stands, every banana republic understands that Nigerians are virtually unprotected by their government and therefore Nigerians are free targets for extortion and harassment. Their governments are also complicit and usually lead the charge.

That's good and nice .

Is just that, is those whites that own those businesses. There unproductive black citizens are doing one criminal activities to the others.

You can not do anything,just shut up please

This is also important to take note because these businesses hate the blacks in that country and deal with their stupidity the same way everyone else has to deal with their stupidity. Nigeria should their incentivize relocation by taxing them higher if they're not in the NSE, and/or headquartered in Nigeria.

All the South African businesses in Nigeria employed Nigerians. We should not reason and behave like the south Africans we criticise. Rather I want the government to come out boldly and put restrictions on Nigerians going to South Africa, in fact they should put a ban on Nigerians going there. You can't treat an American citizen this way and get away with it. Anyway this is Tinubu's government, it doesn't concern him. Trust me, this is where we missed Musa Yaradua, a humble but no nonsense President.

Every time, we will this and we will that. Toothless dogs. Mtchew

Although it's morally not the answer but by all means chase them out. After all, all's fair in love and war

Let's discuss about this .

shut .. up kindly campaign for a boycott of all Southafricans brand like me ported my number to Glo fully Nigeria, boycott Dstv and all this nonsense Big broda rubbish throw them out after all they promoting homosexuality and bisexuals useless country

How many South African businesses are in Nigeria?
Black South Africans hardly leave their country to setup medium scale businesses. You hardly even see them in Nigeria in business venture, unless entertainment and pleasure.

Any South African business operating in Nigeria is owned by whites and already too big for any student union to close down.

Abi MTN no gree drop correct money? No be NASS again?

South Africans have behaved badly.

That's no reason for thoughtless reprisals by Nigerian citizens.

The government will know how react in a subtle but painful way that inflicts serious economic and diplomatic pain on South Africa.

That's where it should end.

Leave too much talk... Shut them down already.

Yinmu.... We can't do anything

Boasting and chest beating with no action.

The same chest beating and boasting that led to the present situation in South Africa.

The shops/businessess of Nigerians that they shot down, are south Africans not working there. Nigerians have South Africans as staff yet they still closed down their shops.
