Sally✔@is_salsuThis #Xenophobia attack on Nigerians in South Africa is saddening. Our brothers and sisters do not deserve this no matter what.
Dennis Kiplimo™@ItsShark15
Hey South Africans, the recent acts of #Xenophobia are so disheartening. Please let us all live together as Africans. I can assure you that South Africans in other African countries live in peace. I hope this ends
Henry Shield@henryshieldDear President @MBuhari, this is beyond your Minister for Foreign Affairs and SA Diaspora. You need to summon the South African Ambassador to Asorock immediately. Your citizens are being killed.
For once, act like a President! #Xenophobia

Onye Nkuzi@cchukudebeluFelt like going to Shoprite this week, but in response to the outbreak of #Xenophobia in South Africa, I won’t be going. I will also avoid all South African owned businesses for a week, at least.
Fortunately, I am not an MTN subscriber.
A message has to be sent, somehow.
Pablo Noser@pablobignoseIt’s sad that blacks have evolved to being the greatest advocates of racism. There is no love and unity again! #Xenophobia

Africa Facts Zone@AfricaFactsZoneNelson Mandela thanking Nigeria for fighting against apartheid. He was hidden in Nigeria for 6 months. Nigeria’s ex Foreign Affairs Minister, Jaja Wachuku saved him from the death penalty in 1963/64.
Nigeria gave black South Africans free education and 300 passports to travel.
Obi Of Onitsha@classicNedu

Nelson Mandela was hidden in Nig for 6months

Stop #Xenophobia
El Dani@DaChinagoromThis despicable act must stop & reparation must be discussed immediately btw @SAGovernmentZA and @NigeriaGov! #Xenophobia
Gbemi Dennis™@GbemiDennisRT @abikedabiri: Sad, Reports from South Africa attacking foreigners. I can’t verify most of the videos. However,whatever decisions to be taken now can only be at the Ministerial level. AU intervention may be crucial . This is not what we should be doing to ourselves as Africans.

E✔@royaltyusoNigeria cannot even vex and ask her citizens to return home. Nigerians in diaspora will rather face hell abroad than return to Nigeria.
Harsh reality of a failed nation. #Xenophobia

Geoffrey Onyeama✔@GeoffreyOnyeamaReceived sickening and depressing news of continued burning and looting of Nigerian shops and premises in #SouthAfrica by mindless criminals with ineffective police protection. Enough is enough. We will take definitive measures. @NigeriaGov @DigiCommsNG @GovernmentZA @DIRCO_ZA
Eneyo Uchente@Ee_codeThese attacks have been on for a long time, Nigerians in SA have cried, others home have wailed..Yet no definitive action have been taken…We are tired of all these political statements…Nigerians need to see actions, the govt. need to hold the govt. of S.A accountable.
Angel Benson@angiebenie@MBuhari I hope you are seeing all these being done to Nigerians in SA, this is not a tribal matter so please don’t point fingers now, we need you to take action since you claim to be a man of action, #Xenophobia
