President Muhammadu Buhari has noted with deep concern, reported attacks on Nigerian citizens and property in South Africa since August 29, 2019.

Consequently, the President has instructed the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, to summon the South African High Commissioner to Nigeria and get a brief on the situation; express Nigeria’s displeasure over the treatment of her citizens; and assurance of the safety of their lives and property.

President Buhari has also dispatched a Special Envoy to convey to President Cyril Ramaphosa his concerns and also interact with his South African counterpart on the situation.

The Special Envoy is expected to arrive in Pretoria latest Thursday, September 5, 2019.

Daily, our government fail and make a mockery of us. 

What does one expect from men that constantly rape and murder their women (mothers)?

Well personally, i feel retaliation is the only tool that would help reset back the default settings of the South government. This is one step,yes,  but this won't cause a enough impact to quench the brewing chaos as this xenophobic attacks have lingered for too long now.

Strong retaliation is a very important tool in diplomacy and international relations.  But rather expressing a mere displeasure, i'd  prefer the President to declare a diplomatic row with South Africa government. Recall all our envoy to South Africa and order theirs  to leave ABJ within 24 hours and if possible suspend operations of Multi Choice and Shoprite, Mtn and other firms  for some days, this will send home a strong message and they will start protecting our people by force.. Why don't this government ever for once think right??
