@daddyhope HOP- WELLE! The parliament in Nigeria has just earned the label LIE-GERIANS! No one died DStv is a French company The most ACROPHOBIC people are the leaders in Zimbabwe and Nigeria who find killing their own citizens

Nigeria’s Parliament has moved to escalate tensions with South Africa following renewed outrage over xenophobic or Afrophobic attacks targeting Nigerians living there, with lawmakers in Abuja debating punitive measures against Africa’s most industrialised economy. The Nigerian Senate and House of Representatives this week condemned what lawmakers described as persistent Afrophobic attacks, harassment and killings of Nigerians in South Africa, triggering one of the strongest parliamentary reactions seen in years between the continent’s two biggest powers. During a heated debate in the Senate, some legislators called for retaliatory economic measures against South Africa, including sanctions and restrictions on major South African companies operating in Nigeria such as MTN and MultiChoice, the owners of DStv. Former Edo State governor and senior senator Adams Oshiomhole was among those who argued that Nigeria could no longer continue responding with silence while Nigerians were allegedly being attacked and humiliated in South Africa. Other lawmakers proposed a review of bilateral agreements between the two countries and called for the African Union and ECOWAS to formally intervene in the matter. However, Nigeria stopped short of formally approving sanctions. Instead, the Senate resolved to establish a joint parliamentary delegation that will travel to South Africa for a diplomatic and fact-finding mission aimed at engaging the South African Parliament directly over the attacks. Nigeria’s Senate President Godswill Akpabio urged restraint during the debate, arguing that diplomacy and engagement should be prioritised before retaliation. The Nigerian Parliament also observed a minute of silence for Nigerians allegedly killed in South Africa and called on Abuja to strengthen protection mechanisms for Nigerians living there, including possible evacuation and emergency response measures if the situation deteriorates further. The move comes amid rising tensions in South Africa over illegal immigration, unemployment and crime, issues that have increasingly spilled into anti-foreigner rhetoric and violence, particularly against migrants from other African countries. South Africa has repeatedly denied being a xenophobic country, arguing that crime affects both citizens and foreigners alike. But recurring attacks on foreign nationals over the years have continued to damage the country’s image across the continent, especially in Nigeria, which has historically viewed itself as one of Africa’s strongest defenders of liberation struggles, including the fight against apartheid. The latest Nigerian parliamentary reaction in Nigeria reflects growing frustration among African states over what many now openly describe as Afrophobia in South Africa, a term increasingly being used instead of xenophobia because the violence disproportionately affects black African migrants rather than foreigners from Europe or North America. The total annual turnover of South African businesses in Nigeria is over US$10 billion annually, with MTN alone generating about US$3.45 billion in revenue in 2025, accounting for roughly 27% of the entire MTN Group’s global revenue. South African companies operating in Nigeria include MTN Group, MultiChoice (DStv), Standard Bank/Stanbic IBTC, Shoprite, Pepkor (PEP Stores), Protea Hotels, SABMiller/AB InBev, Tiger Brands, South African Airways, and various South African mining, logistics and financial services companies.

@Ojukwu_Bianca MADAME BIANCA While at it, can you accept our claim for damages for those people that were trafficked by your Nigerian Citizens Will you compensate the families of the drug addicts buying from your Citizens Can you quickly reimburse us for health care of your citizens

This morning, I had a phone conversation with Hon Ronald Lamola, South Africa Foreign Affairs Minister who expressed concern and misgivings concerning the plans by the government of Nigeria to evacuate its citizens desirous of leaving the Republic of South Africa due to the recent xenophobic attacks and anti-foreigner sentiments openly expressed during continuing anti-migrant protests in South Africa, the latest of which took place in Durban, South Africa, yesterday 6th May 2026. I maintained that our Government cannot stand by and watch the systematic harrasment and humiliation of our nationals resident in SA as well as the extra-judicial killings of our people, and that the evacuation of our citizens who want to return home remains our Government's priority at this time . I also highlighted the need for their police and justice systems to take the cases on ground of extra-judicial killings of Nigerians in South Africa more seriously and that there should be clear and immediate consequences for such acts. Yesterday's protests in Durban did not record acts of violence as there was heavy security presence. However Nigerians were advised to close their shops and businesses and stay largely indoors by Mission. Our discussions also centered on the violent and indiscriminate rhetoric and actions of South Africa's anti-foreigner political parties which puts the lives and properties of Nigerian and other Nationals at risk, but which conversely might also have the effect jeopardizing the safety of South African interests in Nigeria. Nigerians have exercised, and continue to demonstrate commendable restraint, in their response to the ongoing crisis. I also brought to his attention, having engaged with some of our Nationals resident with their families in South Africa, the unfortunate fact that Nigerian Children as well as children born of both Nigerian and South African parents (referred to as 'Sougerians' ) are being wrongfully bullied in schools and taunted to 'return to their country'. This is reprehensible and capable of causing trauma to young minds for whom such incidents may remain etched in memory. Hon. Lamola informed that the SA authorities recognise that they have a responsibility to protect these innocent children and doing their utmost through education supervisory bodies to discourage these practices. While we both pledged to continue to work together to de-escalate this crisis, noting the vehement condemnations of the President of South Africa, President Cyril Ramaphosa and SA Government of the prevailing state of affairs, what is worrisome to our citizens both in Nigeria and those resident in South Africa is that the demand that all foreigners leave South Africa, appears to be targeted only towards black Africans which makes one wonder whether what is happening should not be more accurately defined as 'Afriphobia' rather than Xenophobia. The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed that the Nigerian Missions in South Africa set up , with immediate effect, a crisis notifications unit for imperiled citizens who have also been advised first and foremost to contact SA security authorities whenever dangerous situations arise.

@Chude_ND1 @africaupdates In South Africa you need N416 million (R5million) to open a business That would allow you and your immediate family (wife and children) access to become resident The system can be scammed that way If you breach the rules you lose the deposit

Nigerians are suffering everywhere. For example, In Ghana 🇬🇭, to have a shop as a Nigerian, you have to deposit 2 million dollars before you start a business. They say it’s a refundable deposit. We’ll look into that. — Nigeria’s Senate President, Godswill Akpabio gives directive to the new minister of foreign affairs.

@eljayee2003 @FinPlanKaluAja1 So, you guys were waiting for 1995, since 1957, to come settle in South Africa🤣🤣🤣🤣

No, I disagree, it's on their leaders, the rest of Africa was doing very fine without them. They came only yesterday, and now they think they are better than. The rest of Africa, which was doing fine without them. They used the guise of freedom from apartheid to leech on the rest of Africa with businesses that are ploughed back to pay SASSA grants. Those grants are what those xenophobes feed on to attack Africans. There needs to be an economic boycott to teach a lesson.

We freed them from Apathaid, but did not educate them on what it means to be African Thats on us

@Joe__Bassey ACCOUNTABILITY At that summit can all African leaders account for Migration OUT of their countries? They act irresponsible and hope to avoid accountability

Ghana 🇬🇭 Drags South Africa 🇿🇦 to the African Union Over Rising Afrophobic Attacks on Africans Ghana has formally asked the African Union to place the growing xenophobic attacks against African migrants in South Africa on the agenda of the AU Mid-Year Coordination Meeting scheduled for June 24–27, 2026, in El Alamein, Egypt. In an official letter dated May 6, 2026, Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, described the attacks as a serious threat to African unity, continental integration, and the safety of African nationals in South Africa. Ghana warned that the repeated attacks violate the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and undermine Pan-Africanism and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The Ghanaian government proposed: • A formal AU discussion on the attacks • Stronger AU monitoring mechanisms • A fact-finding mission into the violence • Dialogue and reconciliation efforts across the continent The letter reminded South Africa of the solidarity African nations showed during the anti-apartheid struggle, stressing that “no African should be dehumanised on African soil.” The move follows rising outrage across Africa after viral videos showed attacks, looting, and intimidation targeting African migrants in parts of South Africa.

@daddyhope HOP- WELLE! The notification should start with informing their citizens to leave RSA if they are there illegally Then advise those who are there legally to comply with the laws of RSA I have seen this one from Malawi and one from Lesotho, none from Zimbabwe 😳😳😳

This is not good for South Africa. It is deeply troubling for fellow African countries to issue advisories urging their citizens to exercise caution when travelling to another African country. It paints a picture of lawlessness, insecurity, and a government that has either lost control of the situation or is aiding and abetting this madness. Such developments damage not only a country’s reputation, but also investor confidence, tourism, and regional trust. Africa cannot build meaningful unity and economic cooperation if African citizens begin to fear travelling within the continent itself.

@BryanOaitse @Malome_ZA AFRAID OF THEM🤣🤣🤣

Guess what😘😘

@StateDept @Malome_ZA The USA must kick the UN out of their country They are useless As a South African, I will support the USA in this move

SECRETARY RUBIO: We’re asking the UN to call on Iran to stop blowing up ships, remove the mines, and allow humanitarian relief. If the international community can’t rally behind this and solve something so straightforward, then I don’t know what the utility of the UN system is.

@SIKAOFFICIAL1 @africaupdates DStv is a French company

“Let us revoke the licenses of MTN and DSTV. When we have this balance of madness, I believe there’ll be sanity.” — Nigerian Senator, Adams Oshiomole urges, stressing that economic sanctions against South African businesses in Nigeria will get the country’s government to act quickly against xenophobic attacks on Nigerian nationals.

@daddyhope @Thabo48884 Ah! Hope-Welle! I hope you are not going to say South Africa stopped a coup in Zimbabwe There was a coup and we were spectators Your reportage sounds like the story of Jeso on a mountain alone but his speech being reported upon! Stick to the facts Hope Welle!

Hopes of a military coup against President Emmerson Mnangagwa, led by his vice president, General Constantino Chiwenga and his associates, have reportedly been quashed after sources say that South African President Cyril Ramaphosa assured his Zimbabwean counterpart that South Africa will not countenance any unconstitutional removal of a president in Zimbabwe. Today, President Emmerson Mnangagwa met with Ramaphosa in Harare, where he was received by Mnangagwa alongside businessmen Wicknell Chivayo and Kudakwashe Tagwirei, before the two leaders and the two businessmen flew on a one hour helicopter trip together to Mnangagwa’s farm, Precabe, in Kwekwe. They toured the farm, where the South African president was shown Mnangagwa’s Ankoli cattle and fish breeding pools. When they reached the ostriches, Ramaphosa is said to have remarked, in a pointed and politically loaded statement, that “nothing and nobody will remove my elder brother from power unconstitutionally.” The remark was made in the presence of members of the delegation accompanying the two leaders. “The owner of these ostriches will be president until 2030 if Parliament says so,” Ramaphosa is further reported to have said, reinforcing his assurance to Mnangagwa and those present. The two leaders then went into a four-hour closed-door meeting, where they were joined by Tagwirei and Chivayo. The meeting was described as highly personal and private, with even the president’s spokesperson, George Charamba, excluded from the delegation for today’s visit. Sources familiar with the discussions say Ramaphosa made it clear that South Africa would neither support nor recognise a military coup against Mnangagwa. Those within Mnangagwa’s inner circle were reportedly buoyant after the engagement, interpreting Ramaphosa’s position as a significant reinforcement of regional backing. They believe that, with South Africa’s stance now aligned with that of countries such as Tanzania, Mozambique, Zambia, and, more recently, Botswana, where Chivayo travelled in recent days, Mnangagwa has effectively strengthened his position and insulated his presidency within the region against any potential coup attempt. What was significant today is that South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s trip to Zimbabwe, which I broke last night, was not an official bilateral state engagement conducted at the level of heads of state. It was a private trip, and sources in Pretoria say that many people in the president’s office, and indeed within DIRCO, the foreign affairs department of South Africa, were not aware of it. President Cyril Ramaphosa is now back in South Africa after the short visit to Zimbabwe.

@RossKneeDeep Americans elected someone who looks and thinks like them (Racist)

When we look back on why Trump won this election, it won't be because he was a better choice. Kamala was more than qualified. She was one of the most qualified persons to run for office in a very long time. She offered Americans $25,000 towards their first home. She offered $50,000 to small businesses. She offered intelligence and critical thinking. Yet, Amerca decided to go with dimwitted criminal with 34 felony counts, a convicted sexual abuser, a fail businessman, accused of being a pedophile who tried to overthrow the government. As we look at the absolute chaos trump has caused in one year, the is was it worth it? Who's benefiting from Trump being the president? Why didn't Kamala win?

A LIFE As we are talking about apartheid debts, can we get a closure on this one

@BenSwann_ POSSIBILITIES 1. The USA was controlling the weather Or 2. The war is righteous and it broke the drought Either way, it makes their war righteous

For decades, many parts of Iran have struggled with severe drought. Now, some of those same regions are seeing levels of rain and snowfall not recorded in over 60 years. This shift comes shortly after a strike on a secret weather-modification and cloud-seeding base in the UAE, raising new questions about the timing and cause of the strike. Is this just a natural weather cycle, or could there have been outside interference all along? Were the US, Israel, and other adversaries secretly deploying technology to block rain and snowfall in Iran?
