honestly, that is the only way to go, they are even bragging about it on social media that they will keep killing foreginers and there is nothing the govt of those affected can do about it, talk about sheer arrogance. I think the Nigerian govt has to move faster, this snack speed approach is worried.

BluntBoy:


The AU has become complacent over the years, especially as far as xenophobic attacks are concerned. These attacks started in 1995, and they have grown stronger and more defiant over the years.

I think they need to put an end to it this time. They need to make a statement.

syntekelite:
after all the talk.. you nigerians are still using mtn sim to communicate, still patronising southy businesses..forget govt,as citizens you can all practise economic boycott,its not a crime and no one is killed,but it works wonders..imagine no one patronising shoprite,imagine a million nigerians remove their mtn sim,trust me these companies ceo's will call the s.african president to order..but you all come online to react,then go to shop rite to eat and expect solutions..
well i have removed my mtn sim,and will no longer use it..i hope you all share this and lets begin the tacit revolution.

the only way to stop this once and for all is to islolate South Africa from the rest of Africa, they don't want foreigners, then lets foreigners stay away from them totally, even in sports, their product, all their embassies across Africa in other African countries should be closed, until they have sense, Its that simple. Because from what i see here ,their govt is in full support of what is happening,i watched the video of the interview their deputy police commissioner made, its obvious he is speaking the mind of top govt officials.

ReeLoaDead:
Trevor Noah did not say that. Do you have proof?

ccrazy:


We can chase and pursue all these south Africans from their companies like MTN, DStv and co, then the federal government can employ capable hands in Nigeria to manage it while our government will own all those establishment.

Destroy ur own first.

And what would your retaliation do? Would it stop those illiterates from carrying out more xenophobic attacks? Would your retaliation harm any of those illiterates burning and looting shops?

MrGidifeed:
Ferdi Moolman the CEO of MTN Nigeria as released an official statement on the Xenophobia attacks going on in South Africa.

Would keeping quiet do? Since our govt has decide to condemn on the internet, then we need to send a strong signal to dis mofos. If their businesses are shutdown, the CEO's of those companies wuld rally round and call their president and i can promise you they will curtail dis nonsense .

BluntBoy:


Withdrawing the operating license of South African businesses in Nigeria will not knock sense into the heads of those idiots perpetrating the xenophobic attacks.

BluntBoy:


Moreover, the Federal Government must have good reasons to withdraw licenses or they would have a massive lawsuit to deal with.

emkz:


Please read my last paragraph.



Retaliatory measure. It is called sanctions. You destroy my citizens' businesses in your country, I go after your businesses in my country. Then he who suffers more would be forced to negotiate. The CEO of MTN knows the FG can impose sanctions on South African companies as a diplomatic retaliation, so he had to quickly issue a statement. Now you spoke of lawsuit. So you think they'd sue Nigeria in Nigeria? You think any Nigerian judge would be dumb enough to award damages to a foreign company against the FG in this matter? Please give me a break.

BluntBoy:


And who told you their government would curtail the nonsense?

If their government cared in the first place, they would have dealt with xenophobic attacks knowing full well that some South Africans have investments in Nigeria.

BluntBoy:


You don't understand one bit about international relations.

Sanctions are not reprisal attacks. They are punishment meted out for attacks, rather than an eye for an eye.

It is laughable that you should think that MTN's rights of business is protected only by state authority. You ought to know that there are international laws that protect the interest of investors in foreign countries. MTN would definitely sue the Nigerian government before an international tribunal. And it would be hard for the Nigerian government to win.

Goodluck Jonathan threatened to nationalize South African companies' assets when MTN refused to release the call logs of Henry Okah after October 1st 2010 bombing. South Africa caved and released the call logs even though the calls originated from South Africa. The South African government put him under a speedy trial and jailed him.

When the NCC imposed a $5 billion fine on MTN, the South African President himself had to come meet our President. MTN fired its Nigerian CEO. If you remember, MTN took the Federal Government to court and were represented by Wole Olanipekun. MTN opted to settle out of court after their President begged our President. There was no way they were going to escape that fine.

No where did I say they should retaliate and loot South African companies as you claim I purported. All I am saying is that the President should issue a small threat and withdraw the operating licenses of MTN and a few South African companies for a week citing national security you'd understand how powerful Nigeria is. Ramaphosa cannot ignore that sanction from our President.

Do you know that the President can subvert the rule of law when it comes to national security? Abacha did it and jailed Abiola. Who took him to court? Even though I don't support Abacha, he understood his powers and used them decisively. I may not understand international relations like you, but I can tell you that right now, the only power we have over South Africa is economic power. They know this. MTN knows this. You should know this.
