Growing up in Abeokuta we had lots of South African neighbors, some were students of University of Ibadan, most were authors.... When Mandela was released, the whole neighborhood was ecstatic, we all sang Nkosi sikeleli Africa..... Thinking, they will in turn treat as this bad is really pathetic.... 1 Like |

KushyKush:You are nothing but a fool. The Government has condemned the attacks, summoned the South African High Commissioner in Nigeria to register a protest and has also sent a Special Envoy to South Africa. The matter is being handled at that level, do you want the President to start screaming like a mad man on the streets? |

KushyKush: he is the worst Nigerian President ever, he is not moved by the constant killings of Nigerians both home and abroad. he has deeply divided Nigeria along Ethnic and religious lines... Yet some people condemned a protest against all these incompetence from our executives and lawmaker |

ntyce: garetz: In fact, Nigeria did economic harm to itself in the course of Africa’s COLLECTIVE struggle for South African liberation - expelling/nationalizing UK and US businesses in Nigeria (Barclays, Standard, Chase, BP, Esso, etc.), blocking direct investment into a Nigeria by several Western companies doing business in Apartheid South Africa, and refusing to sell crude oil to or trade with nations deemed friendly with the Apartheid regime. All of these had a long-lasting (and some would argue, probably still has a) residual effect on the Nigerian economy. This was in addition to military and non-military support for the ANC and other freedom fighters, material support in form of cash and supplies (including the Southern African Relief Fund, which mandated the deduction of a certain percentage of the wages/earnings of every working Nigerian towards the acquisition/distribution of relief material/supplies to South African exiles), educational and capacity-building support in the form of university scholarships and so on, diplomatic support in the form of the standing UN Committee Against Apartheid that was championed and chaired throughout its existence (bar a couple of years) by Nigeria, as well as accommodating South African exiles in Nigeria (including Thambo Mbeki and, in the initial days of the anti-Apartheid struggle, the late great Madiba Nelson Mandela). Even though these events occurred well before my time, I do not believe that Nigeria did it with any expectation of reciprocity, but rather for what Nigerians believed was their “manifest destiny” (with a population at the time that amounted to 1 in every 4 Africans and 1 in about every 5 black persons being Nigerian) underpinned by a philosophy that injustice and oppression of black people anywhere is the oppression of all of us. That’s why Nigeria paid the salaries of Antiguan civil servants in the West Indies, endowed HBCUs in the US, supplied crude oil to several African nations at a significant price discount, and donated to minority communities after the Brixton Riots in the UK, among others. > 1 Like |

The point you have chosen to ignore is that this has happened before... and like it was said in Matrix... it will happen again. This government has been unable to protect lives within borders. So I don't expect them to assist in securing Nigerian lives outside. Eteka1: |
