@PeterObi With due respect sir, there are no xenophobic attacks in South Africa.

Rebuilding Brotherhood Trust Across African Borders I have been observing with deep concern the alarming rise of xenophobic attacks in South Africa. I strongly condemn these acts. My thoughts are with all those affected—especially our Nigerian brothers and sisters, whose lives, businesses, and dignity are once again under threat. No African should feel unsafe on African soil, or anywhere else. I commend the Minister of Foreign Affairs Mrs Bianca Ojukwu and her Ministry for their swift response to this issue. I recall my visit to our compatriots during a similar crisis. It was a painful experience that revealed both the suffering and resilience of our people. It also highlighted a fundamental truth: beyond borders, we share a common identity and destiny as Africans. Such experiences should have inspired lasting solutions, not recurring tragedy. In this regard, I urge the authorities in South Africa to act decisively - to protect lives and property, bring perpetrators to justice, and restore public confidence. Leadership must rise to the occasion, making it clear that violence and intolerance have no place in our societies. -PO

@OurFavOnlineDoc Why are you lying and spreading misinformation about AA?

Xenophobic South Africans invaded a restaurant and started violently attacking a foreigner, labeling him as “not one of us”. This is barbaric madness. It is a shame that the government of South Africa continues to allow these barbaric animals do this.

@NigeriaStories What happened to Shoprite?

“This Senate should adopt a position that MTN, a South African company, that is taking away millions of dollars from Nigeria every day, that Nigeria should nationalize it and withdraw its license so that a Nigerian company can take over MTN's business.” - Sen.

@AfricanHub_ You are really committed to spreading this xenophobia falsehood. What xenophobic violence?

Nigeria is arranging to bring home its citizens from South Africa following a surge in xenophobic violence against African migrants. Around 130 Nigerians have already registered for voluntary return, with more expected to join. The attacks have heightened diplomatic tensions, prompting Nigeria to summon South Africa’s representative and caution about possible strains in their relationship. Meanwhile, other African nations, including Ghana, have urged their citizens to stay cautious or temporarily shut down businesses in South Africa.

“We understand that South Africa… faces unemployment, crime, border control... some of these aggressions must not be taken out on African nationals.” Frank Onyekwelu, @Nicasa_National President, says African migrants must not be criminalised due to systemic migration challenges.

South Africans are very nice people.

@drDendere So you reckon they should be closed off from this sector as well 🤔?

The people are doing what they can. The real culprit is the gov. I was reading about how apartheid regimes encouraged and sponsored shebeens to weaken people. All these brilliant entrepreneurs should be in the diamond and wine industry. Instead that’s closed off so we fight here

@eazy97255382 @BBCWorld Where did I say people must be dehumanised?

BREAKING NEWS : Botswana cuts electricity to South Africa and closes its borders President Duma Boko has declared a state of emergency and announced drastic measures against South Africa, amid escalating tensions fueled by accusations of xenophobia against Botswana citizens. Among the most striking decisions is the cutoff of electricity to several South African provinces—an unprecedented move that risks worsening the already severe energy crisis in the neighboring country. In addition, the Botswana government has ordered the immediate closure of its borders and demanded the return of all its citizens currently in South Africa. In a firm speech, Duma Boko strongly criticized the treatment of Botswana nationals, recalling his country’s historical support during the struggle against apartheid. "We helped you fight oppression, and today our children are being humiliated."
