Xenophobic Attacks: Lumumba Urges South Africa To Compensate Victims by Ironfaceman(op): 5:39am On Aug 04
Renowned Pan-Africanist, Prof. Patrick Lumumba, has condemned the recent xenophobic attacks in South Africa, calling on the South African government to publicly apologise to Africa and the international community and compensate victims who lost their businesses and means of livelihood

Speaking on the sidelines of the Delta State Economic and Investment Summit in Asaba, Lumumba described the attacks as a betrayal of the spirit of African unity.

He urged Africans not to respond with hatred but with compassion and understanding, arguing that love rather than retaliation would help change the mindset of those promoting xenophobia and strengthen the bonds of continental brotherhood.

Addressing Africa’s economic future, Lumumba challenged governments and investors across the continent to place greater confidence in Africa’s abundant resources, human capital and entrepreneurial potential.

He called for increased intra-African investment to drive industrialisation, create jobs and reduce dependence on foreign capital.

The Pan-Africanist also advocated the adoption of a common African currency, saying it would deepen economic integration, boost trade and accelerate sustainable development across the continent.

God bless you professor for bringing up this matter in Delta State.

Thank you also for giving this malaise a name AFROPHOBIA.

As you rightly said there are thousands of Indians over staying in southafrica. If they say is xenophobia why are the Indians not molested.

Africa is not ready for real growth. Even Morocco often doesn't identify itself as African. In South Africa, we've seen fellow Africans attacked and killed by other Africans. Where is the unity?

I doubt the victims will ever receive proper compensation. Right now, it feels like the government is doing damage control on social media just to save face, rather than addressing the real issues.

Nigeria as a country has been reduced to mere mockery by tinubu the failure. Imagine SA attacking and sending Nigerians away.

I agree that "Afrophobia" is actually the appropriate name for the madness in South Africa!

What is this man saying? Him nor know say na "weyrey la fi n wo weyrey?". It's sometimes very good to dish out to people a taste of their own medicine. By doing so, they too will understand the pain and the emotional trauma the victims or their families are going through.

My dear this one no be Tinubu faults oo.
You done ever go SA?? The things I'm sure my Nigerian brothers and sisters engage in for a living at SA are:
1:Kidnapping.
2:Human trafficking.
3: Internet fraud.
4:Drug trafficking.
5: Cultism and robbery.

Na Tinubu cause this one?? On ratio of 10 only 3 Nigerians are making legit funds in SA. What do you expect the citizens to do??

My annoyance is that, they're not exempting other African nations, if Nigerians are your problem attack Nigerians and leave others alone.
Re: Xenophobic Attacks: Lumumba Urges South Africa To Compensate Victims by EdiskyHarry: 7:02am On Aug 04
It's very simple, leave South Africa and go back to your countries. The day south Africans killed lucky dube and said they thought he was a Nigerian was the day I knew that South Africans are mad people. If you are a Nigerian that is still in South Africa, whatever you see from Them, just take it.

This is the same man who went across the world spreading hate against the white man. Doing the work of African elites for them, selling propaganda and racism that Africa is not doing well because of a white man.

Indirectly, exonerating failed, corrupt and wicked African leaders and elites of any wrong doing.

What is happening in South Africa today, is it the white man that is doing it?

The mismanagement of Nigeria oil and gas revenue over the years by corrupt Nigeria leaders, is it the white man?

Lumumba is complicit and share in the underdevelopment of Africa.

Everything is about Tinubu. Even when your papa slaps your mama over a disagreement in the other room, you will still blame Tinubu. You guys have never taken responsibility for anything. Yet you are still shameless

Comparing the actual dropping of bombs by a whole government/army on innocent men,women and children in Palestine by Israelis to South African citizens protesting against illegal immigration (which by the way in itself compromises SA's national security) has got to be,by far,the biggest strawman argument on the face of mother earth...jeez y'all can't be this desperate.

Because "xenophobia" doesn't stick anymore? Time to desperately reach down the barrel and find another term because "afrophobia" too will run stale. grin

I'm surprised you got 6 moomoo likes.
So it was Tinubu that made them send away all other black Africans away from South Africa.
You people live in delusion and hatred that I wonder how you guys will survive till 2031
