Xenophobia: South Africa Shuts Down High Commission In Nigeria

The South Africa High Commission in Nigeria has shut down its offices and consulate for fear of reprisal attacks by youths.

Acting High Commissioner, Bobby Moroe, said on Thursday that he had directed the mission to suspend all consular activities until the situation improved.

The closure comes amidst attacks on businesses of South African origin in several parts of the country.
“I directed that the Mission should be closed until the situation improves. We heard that South Africans were being pulled out of vehicles and attacked. We feel unsafe and that is why I directed that the mission should close down until further notice,” Mr Moroe said.

The Federal Government’s envoy will on Thursday arrive Pretoria to speak with President Cyril Ramaphosa on the xenophobic attacks on foreigners in South Africa, especially Nigerians.
Meanwhile, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Muhammad Bello, has called on residents of the territory, especially students and youths, not to carry out retaliatory attacks on South African nationals and business interests in the FCT.
Bello, in a statement by his media aide, Anthony Ogunleye, said the Federal Government was already exploring diplomatic channels to address the issue, appealing that residents should allow the efforts to succeed.

He added that the South African business interests in the FCT were set up in partnership with Nigerian investors and were contributing to the economic development of the city.

“Attacking or vandalising them will ultimately have negative economic consequences for the Nigerian economy and employees of those organisations,” he said.

The minister also assured South African nationals and business interests of their safety, adding that it was the pleasure of the administration to have them living and working in the FCT.

Only Nnamdi Kanu And IPOB Speaks for Igbos in Nigeria – Pastor Chris Okafor

The general overseer of the Mountain of Miracles and Liberation Ministries during his Sunday ministration said that we should be thanking God for a man Like Nnamdi Kanu.

We Should Be Giving Thanks To The Leader Of IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu And Not Attacking His Group IPOB.

Without Nnamdi Kanu And IPOB’s Courage, Determination And Strength, The South-East Would Have Been Enslaved And Overrun By The Fulani’s.

“Nnamdi Kanu Is A Genius And A True Leader Whose Sole Purpose Is The Well-being, Betterment And Safety Of Ndigbo. Is It Too Much To Ask For Equal Shares Of What Other Regions Get From The Federal Government?

“We Don’t Have Good Roads, No Adequate Hospitals, The Only International Airport We Have In The South-East Was Shut Down, Even The Second Niger Bridge Is Taking Years To Build Because Its Just A Political Project Just For Formality.

“And The Worse Part Is, No Igbo Leader Or Governor Is Doing Anything To Better The Lives And Future Of Ndigbo, Only Nnamdi Kanu And IPOB Has The Tenacity To Speak Against The Injustice And Marginalisation Of Ndigbo In Nigeria.

But Some of The So-called Igbo Leaders And The Federal Government Wants To Still Kill Nnamdi Kanu And They Even Proscribed His Group, For What Reason?

For Doing The Right Thing?

For Speaking Out Against Injustice?

For Doing What Other Igbo Leaders Don’t Have The Courage To Do?

“Nnamdi Kanu And His Group Are Not Armed And They Didn’t Kill Anyone But Fulani Herdsmen Are Killing Our People And Destroying Properties In The South-East, Most Especially Enugu State.

What Has The Federal Government Or The Governors Of The South East Done About It? Nothing, But All Our Igbo Leaders Care About Is Eating Yam In Germany While Their States Is on Fire And Their People Are In Grave Danger.

We’ll disgrace, arrest Buhari in Japan, says Kanu

Daring President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday, IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu said members of the group in the Republic of Japan had received orders from him to disgrace and arrest the President when he arrived the Asian country on Sunday.

According to Kanu, President Buhari must be arrested and handed over to Japanese authorities to enable him to answer for his alleged mass murder and crimes against humanity, which he allegedly committed in Nigeria between 2015 and 2019.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, had earlier on Friday informed Nigerians that the President would leave Nigeria for Japan on Sunday to participate in the Seventh Tokyo International Conference on African Development, holding in the City of Yokohama from August 28-30, 2019.

But in a statement on Friday evening, the pro-Biafra leader urged its members in the country to mobilise and ensure that they arrest President Buhari, saying they were ready for the legal aftermath of the action.
