Xenophobic Attacks In South Africa: 8 Things You Should Know [shocking Photos] by Emmatdayo(m): 5:20pm On Apr 17, 2015
The crisis between the two African countries
is escalating. It has been practically impossible to
miss the screaming headlines circulating in the
media lately.
“Xenophobic attacks”, “hate speech”, “violence”…
Even tips started emerging on various websites
regarding how a Nigerian can protect himself/herself
while travelling to South Africa.
How has it turned out that South Africa has in several
days become a dangerous place for a Nigerian?..
All the things you need know about the current
conflict. 1. It’s not specifically about Nigerians
The saga apparently started with the speech by King
Goodwill Zwelithini who last month said that
foreigners must pack up and leave the country. Soon
reports about attacks by locals on immigrants broke
out.
Ten Nigerians were said to be among those attacked.
The king, whose so-called “hate speech” is believed to
have incited violence, blamed the media for
misinterpreting his words. But it did not help to solve
either the international diplomatic conflict, nor the
violence on the local level.
2. Africans get shocked, launch protests against
the barbaric killings
Nearly 5,000 people joined a rally condemning
xenophobia in South Africa’s Durban city after attacks
on foreigners in SA.
3. The Nigerian officials react immediately
The House of Representatives urged the Federal
Government to “rise up to the occasion by having
contingency plans to evacuate Nigerians within 24
hours to avoid us losing our citizens to these attacks”.
4. …and address President Goodluck Jonathan
Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the chief of the House
Committee on Diaspora Matters, lamented over the
development saying that Nigeria should not tolerate
it. The official called on GEJ to recall Nigeria’s high
commissioner from South Africa.
5. Even Boko Haram terrorists allegedly react
Those, who kill thousands of Nigerians every year,
were said to have issued a warning to South Africa.
The dreaded sect gave a 24-hour ultimatum to
Pretoria to stop the ma$$acres or face bombings
from them.
6. Meanwhile Senator Musiliu Obanikoro says no
Nigerians have been killed
Referring to the information provided by the Mission
in South Africa, the Minister of State II for Foreign
Affairs insisted that “no Nigerian casualty has been
ascertained”.
7. Ripe theories and versions amid crisis
The legacy of the apartheid era in South Africa when
the immigrants were not welcome in the country is
believed to be one of the reasons for hatred.
But most importantly, it it about the poor economic
situation and unemployment which cause the
violence.
8. Unless the attacks stop…
Amba$$ador Aminu Wali, Nigeria’s Minister of
Foreign Affairs, said the Federal Government
would evacuate Nigerian residents in South Africa if
the xenophobic attacks got worse.
As the problem remains still unresolved, it is not
clear what further development of the situation
should be expected. Hopefully, the effective solution
will be found before more innocent people become
victims of the lingering crisis.

We invited this upon ourselves because I do not see what a sane Nigerian would be looking for in South Africa if our leaders were truthful.

A country we staged a collective fight and gave our all against apartheid in order for them to exist today looks at Nigerians with so much disdain.

We would have allowed De-Clark and his fellow whites consume these barbarians. I do not blame them but the Shagaris, Buharis, Babangidas, Shonekans, Abachas, Abubakars, Obasanjos, Yar'aduas and Jonathans!

I am not a Xenophobe like you. At least in Nigeria we are accomodating of people from all over the black world, we may have our own shortcommings as Nigerians but we do not go about killing foreigners in our country.

Please grow a brain before you quote me next time.

You full of jealousy! We didnt say that you must be born in a slum that you call a country. I also read that you ppl fly with chickens and goats in your airlines. You ppl believe in sacrificing humans for money ritual & for protection. Such mumbo jambo voodoo nonsense! That why you are so backward because your country is held to ransom by evil spirits through wide spread cultism. Who's lazy now? Who's savage & uncouth now. YOU! Who's breeding like rats? YOUR KIND! You boasting about a population of 170m ppl and you think it's normal. You kind is too noisy and just too loud for anyone's comfort. For your info: that looted shop was doing business illegally. It's pompous ppl like you that must be taught a difficult lesson. Getting obsessed about SA and itching to insult her ppl won't protect you from the next suicide bomber. I won't argue with a fool, ppl may not distinguish the difference.
