Xenophobia: Presidency Denies Recalling Nigeria’s Envoy To South Africa by dre11(op): 8:47pm On Apr 27, 2015
The Presidency on Monday denies recalling Nigeria’s Charge De Affairs to South Africa over the xenophobic attacks in the country.
The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Dr. Reuben Abati, in a statement said that there was a mix up and misinformation on the matter.
He said the Charge De Affairs was only invited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for routine consultation.
He said: “It is not true that Nigeria has recalled its envoy in South Africa on account of recent xenophobic attacks in that country.”
“There is a mix up and misinformation on the matter. The truth is that Nigeria has not recalled his envoy from South Africa.”
“What has been done is to invite the Charge De Affairs in that country for routine consultation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
“Recall of envoy is a serious and sensitive matter and that has not happened.”

Re: Xenophobia: Presidency Denies Recalling Nigeria’s Envoy To South Africa by TRADELYN:
Even if it was true, SA's earlier statement about the matter is insensitive and annoying.

I would have advised Gen Buhari to ignore them, but as the wise people say, "Two wrongs don't make a right."

Is a lie!
Re: Xenophobia: Presidency Denies Recalling Nigeria’s Envoy To South Africa by dre11(op): 8:54pm On Apr 27, 2015
Is the presidency afraid, what is it waiting for to recall our envoy in SA? My people say who bites you on the other side without minding the inconviniencies, you bite him on the head without minding the brain.Nigeria gets all it takes to call SA to order. Democracy is number. If Nigeria of 180m has decided to recall the ambassador, the interest of the selected few in the government cannot be brought to bear on the nigerian collective decision.Who cares if our decision will lead to the collapse of the SA economy so that the next time they will be careful.

Losing an election is not supposed to make you to continue to be loose.
You have been very insensitive to what is currently happening in South Africa.
It is very barbaric.
This is a very serious issue and we ought to take a very drastic step.
Zimbabweans have been protesting.
They have stopped playing all South African music on their radio.
Kenyans have been protesting, Somalians too.
What has Nigerians been doing? Mind you, Nigeria have the most population there, esp the Ibos. I, personally know two Ibo men and one has been seriously affected. They have big investments there and these bastards are just stealing from them and killing them in barbaric manner.
This is Genocide. It's not just now it started. South Africans are bittered lazy fucktárd xenophobias.
Can't we just rejected this senselessness?
>Issue an ultimatum.
>Send planes to bring back the Nigerians there safely.
>Close all their embassies.
>Stop all their businesses here (MTN, DSTV, SHOPRITE,
SPAR, STANBIC BANK E.T.C)
I can't just wait for May 29.

It is in man to kill there fellow man.
race, tribe, over religion, politics,..hell over football.

Funny thing about the world we live in today is that;
With all the tribal, ethnic, religious, political killing we are withnessing..historians would argue that this is still by far the most peacefully time in human history.

Re: Xenophobia: Presidency Denies Recalling Nigeria’s Envoy To South Africa by 2n2k(m): 9:38pm On Apr 27, 2015
So it took the federal government over 24 hours to be aware of the news report about the 'recall' or why is the clarification coming so late?

By the way, why is it the State House that should clarify. Why not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that recall the envoys 'for consultation'?

This is the second time in a month that the foreign affairs ministry will embarrass the FG.

Re: Xenophobia: Presidency Denies Recalling Nigeria’s Envoy To South Africa by morpheus24: 9:46pm On Apr 27, 2015
I don't see any reason why there should be clarification.

Nigerian and South Africa don't like each other, they should end the matter and stop playing political jangurova with each other.
