XENOPHOBIC ATTACK IN SOUTH AFRICA, WHAT IS NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT DOING?

Two Nigerians being massacred in South Africa. 

Xenophobia is an irrational and extreme fear of strangers. Xeno means aliens, strangers or foreigner while phobia means fear. For a very long time now (especially from the year 2006 upwards), there have been frequent spate of killings and maiming of foreigners, especially Nigerians living in South Africa. This was caused principally because some South Africans believe that Nigerians are taking over the jobs that they supposed to be doing.  This erroneous believe started as a joke until it became a horrible reality to everyone.

Is Nigerian government seeing this? 

Nigerian government could have nipped the problem in the bud when it began but it didn’t affect any of their family members so it was easier for them to turn deaf ears. So the killings continued, unchecked while South African government watch with secret smiles and Nigerian government begs as it always does when it should act.

What about this,  is this a photoshop too? 

Let’s do a little feasibility study. These companies are owned by South Africans or South Africans have major shares in some of them. These are:
MTN- it is the largest communication in Nigeria. With billions of naira as annual turnover which is carted away to South Africa.
Shoprite- It is the largest retail outlet in Nigeria today with billions of Naira as annual turnover and it has branches in the major cities in Nigeria. Nigeria is one of the major source of income for this company
Eskom Nigeria- it is an oil and gas company in Nigeria owned by a South Africa.
South African Airway- A South African owned major airline in Nigeria with amazing yearly turnover.
South African Breweries_
Stanbic Merchant Bank- One of the most financially stable and vibrant merchant banks in Nigeria.
Multichoice
Umgeni
Refresh Products
PEP Retail stores
LTA Construction
Protea Hotels
Critical Rescue International
South African Nigerian Communications
Global Outdoor Semces
 Oracle
Airtime
DSTV.
All these major companies are owned in Nigeria by South Africans and operating without disturbance or inhibition. Nigeria is a [peaceful country to foreigners and we keep an open mind in dealing with them. Our policies regarding trades are friendly and allow them to operate peacefully. In fact, Nigerian owned companies sometimes enjoy lesser privileges than these foreign companies yet some set of animalistic and nasty South Africans think Nigerian who are living in south Africa are taking over the SA economy and politics.

Now let’s see some businesses owned by Nigerians in South Africa:
NOTHING!

I spent hours on the internet, searching for Nigerian owned company in South Africa but I can’t find anything tangible. You see, who benefits in this now? If Nigerians truly have businesses in South Africa, they are definitely not as financially strong as the ones owned by South Africans in Nigeria. This means, Nigerians ought to be the aggressors and not them! The injustice of this inhumanity is maddening. How can they in all truth and fairness claim that Nigerians are taking over their jobs and industries when in actual fact they are the ones taking over everything?
It is obvious that the time has come for Nigerians leaders to wake up and be responsible for once. If Nigerians are killed in ordinary South Africa in dozens and all that our old and useless leaders can do is to go down on their knees and be begging the South African President then our leaders need their heads examined.

 If any of their family members had been killed in this case -let’s imagine that our president’s first son and heir had been gruesomely murdered, would the president still be calm about it? Hell no, he would have at least sent cows to eat up all the grass in SA!

And this? 

A reasonable government would impose sanction on South Africa.  South African businesses in Nigeria would have been locked up indefinitely until the South African government is forced into being strict with her errant and suicidal fanatics and the attacks on Nigerians will stop. A more reasonable government would have issued warrant or threat or whatever to South Africans living in Nigeria to leave or relocate from Nigeria. A more reasonable government would have done any of these apart from begging like a stupid beggar!

Attacking South African owned companies in Nigeria is not the solution, those companies are covered by insurance and whatever damage they incur now would be covered later when all these settled down. This is a fight for two countries’ governments. If the Nigerian government truly cares about Nigerians- both within and outside the country, it should take a definitive action. Begging will not stop any problem; it will only exacerbate the matter. Will begging bring back the innocent and hardworking people that were burnt and shot to death in front of their children? Will begging be a father for a child who lived in South Africa all her life but whose father was suddenly murdered because the father happens to be working in one of the top government offices in South Africa? Will begging put food on the table of orphans and widows whose joy was suddenly turned into a horrible nightmare?

I urge all Nigerians to stop attacking South African owned businesses in Nigeria. Those Xeno fanatics are animals and we shouldn’t go down the same route with them. Let us act civil and watch our government handle this. If our leaders truly have common sense, they will put an end to this, otherwise, they will worsen the situation like the way they worsen Nigerian economy.
      Thank you.
