Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has said that the intervention of the African Union (AU) would be key in ending attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.

Mrs Dabiri-Erewa said this on Twitter in reaction to the latest attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.

She said that although she could not verify most of the videos of the attacks, whatever decisions needed to be taken could only be done at the ministerial level.

“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,” she said on Monday.

President of the Nigeria Union South Africa, Adetola Olubajo, had said that recent attacks began on Sunday morning in Jeppestown area of Johannesburg.

Mr Olubajo said in a statement on Monday that the mob “looted several shops that were around the vicinity suspected to be owned by foreign nationals.”

Three persons were killed in the attack while another is still receiving treatment for smoke inhalation.

Olubajo said the police later dispersed the mob and made some arrests.

Do you know why SA can confidently do the sh*t they do, it's because they've seen a country so divided among themselves internally that they can barely stay united and speak with one voice against foreign attacks.
And to think some retards here on nairaland are saying the Nigerians there are just from a particular tribe, shows how low we've gone as a country. As a matter of fact, Nigeria can no longer be called a country if a fellow countryman can say sh*t about his own countryman in the full view of other nationals.
Nigeria will continue to be volatile to foreign attacks in other countries if we continue to be disunited. The world is watching, let the retards, tribalists and olodos take note of that

And Buhari is yet to make a statement on these matter .

Does he even care ?

Like say u just dey wakeup from coma...welcomebk

Presidency never make public statement up till now,

Bubu will be like,wetin consign me,Nigerian cow no dey S.A

This woman have been clueless since day one. it isn't by talking tough or acting tough, it is being tough. You have their installments here, you could hold on to it and ask their people to leave also.
Not always running cap in hand with ur tails BTW ur legs

na now ur own day break abi?

Issoryt.

My question is this... Why is Mr President silent on this issue?

AU may not raise a finger.
Nigeria government needs to act fast and mount pressure.

There is a saying that ' Na madness them they take cure madness'.

Current Nigerian govt is the most stupid govt to have ever ruled over human beings. #COWARDS. It's this kind of situation that makes someone to love Sani Abacha... AU intervention my as$... Mtcheww.

Yimu......AU will not do anything, only talk.

Fulani herdsmen are killing people within Nigeria, what have we done to stop it? I seriously feel for the victims of the S/A attacks. We don't value our own, others won't too

Never seen a president so dumb in history,
God forbid tuehh!

THIS TRIBALISM IS TIRED OF TRIBAL POLITICS

Exactly

I try to say this repeatedly but to no avail.. I feel for those who will be trapped in Nigeria when the crisis starts but my joy is the laws of mother nature are perfect

It is these very tribalists who will be trapped there when crisis begins

Tell those Nigerians to come back home, they don't want you in their land, abi na by force. 0 pity for anybody they killed.

Abike tell your pple to come home. Its not a do it die affair or is that bad ni?

how will she hold on to their installments, can you please explain?.... and she can't ask south Africans to leave because their own government hasn't done thesame, infact you talk as if she is the president

Afonjas were rejoicing a while back because they thought it was only Igbos being killed. I don't know what kind of people are these. Now they have seen their own Afonjas are also being killed even more because largely because they lack numbers and structure to defend themselves like Igbos are doing now. You see Afonjas helplessly running inside bush and government offices to seek refuge but Igbos with their numbers and structure are mounting resistance. Even the Igbos there don't trust afonjas...they might give secret to SA people. It is only when it affects them that they denounce it. If only Igbos...THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN! One Nigeria my foot...stop pretending!

then what about the Hausas there.... A foreigner will read this your post and just keep laughing...Igbo and Afonja ....smh

Hyocrites...are you afonjas not asking Igbos to leave Lagos? Are you different from SA people? I hate hypocrisy. I denounce SA people actions, including you afonjas!

Before she was denying it using diplomacy, now that it is real, she's calling on AU

Shit!

Don't they have meetings. Being in charge of diaspora matters, if she sits down with other relevant sectors and suggest decision or advise to the dullard up there, he might listen. But like I said she in fact all of them are clueness. she isn't the president yet she is calling on AU. That makes her call DOA.
