Nigerians are not the only victims of xenophobic attacks. I am sure there are ongoing high-level government-to-government engagements aimed at finding a lasting solution. This photo-op and performative visit by the opposition candidate is not right. Let’s not politicise the issue

In 1965, Singapore was a poor, mosquito-infested island with no natural resources, no oil, no gold, not even drinking water of its own. Today, it’s one of the richest, cleanest, and safest countries on Earth. How? One man: Lee Kuan Yew One mission: Build a nation where corruption fears the law, not where the law fears corrupt men. He: •Banned tribal politics. •Made corruption punishable by jail — no immunity, no sacred cows. •Built a world-class education system. •Turned public housing from slums to dignity. •Made ministers earn well but work harder than CEOs. •Used merit, not man-know-man. Today, Singapore: •Has zero tolerance for corruption. •Is a global hub for finance, tech, aviation, and shipping. •Pays teachers more than some bankers — because brains build nations. Now ask yourself: What if Nigeria had a leader that refused to steal, and punished those who did? What if we had vision, not just elections? Singapore did it in one generation. What’s our excuse?
