A lot has already been said and written about the xenophobic attack currently going on in South Africa. One that resonated with me is the view that this is specifically Afrophobia rather than outright xenophobia. In a post by popular South African comedian and TV host, Trevor Noah, he declared that other Africans in the rainbow country control less than two percent of its businesses and resources. The bulk of it, is squarely in the hands of white Europeans. Thus, if the locals are looking for someone to lynch, they should face the direction of the rightful enemy.
But by attacking Nigerians, Tanzanians and other blacks, the South Africans has displayed ignorance of their history.

History is like a map, it guides us going forward. Like a lighthouse, history provides a bearing of our present position relative to where we want to go. It also alerts us when we edge closer to the shore or dangerously lying reefs.
Perhaps, it is very prophetic in this regard that at the height of the attacks in Mandela's own country, the trending song across Africa is one by a Master KG, a South African artist. The song titled, "skeleton", talks about remembering the road that would lead you home, no matter where you go.
This brings me back home. In the last decades Nigeria has battled with the challenges of national identity. When it is politically convenient for us, we call ourselves Arewa, Biafrans and Oduduwa. We describe ourselves as everything else but Nigerians. While this had come to be seen as part of our national phenomenon, the emergence of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, definitely took it to a dangerous dimension with his Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) movement.

At the height of his charade in the name of secession, Kanu roared and puff at the authorities, threatening to rain down fire and brimstone on the country which he deliriously described as a zoo. His followers both home and abroad, joined this misguided misadventure. Some withdrew their allegiance to the country while others went as far as tearing their Nigerian passport.

Alas, xenophobia arose and everyone remembered the road that leads home. And for the Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba man and women in South Africa, there was only one home; Nigeria.
In the peak of the uproar that greeted the attack, I patiently awaited the voice of Kanu, to either deploy his much touted Biafran army to lead the rescue of Biafrans in South or comdenm the attacks. Till this moment, not a word has come from Mazi Nnamdi Kanu neither has he offered any way out for his stranded members. Neither KANU nor any of his spokesmen such as Emma POWERFUL could muster the courage to atleast condemn the atrocities committed on the Igbos .

But Nigeria, the same place they labeled a zoo, has risen up to the rescue for everyone.
And that's the lesson from this whole tragedy. Every country has it own challenges. Even America is not without people and group calling for independence and self governance. Yet, they recognize that they are first and above all, Americans.
We can claim to be whoever we want, but we must realize that when the chips are down, there's only one Nigeria to protect us. Whether Hausa, Igbo Yoruba or any other group. Las las, we're all Nigerians.

When it mattered most Mazi Nnamdi Kanu simply kept mute!!!!! Perhaps he is scared of being declared a Persona-non-grata by the government of South Africa. May be MAZI is still in bed with his wife, planning to share fresh nude pictures to appease hundreds of Igbos butchered by the South Africans.

This one did not read the piece. i can bet anything.

True talk, but the pigs will still attack you nonetheless.

your muther is a pig. ODe

i have said it time without numbers that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was a businessman disguised as freedom fighter. now that he has milk so much money from his Biafran hosts, he has disappeared into thin air. we are all Nigerians before we are lebbeled by whatever name. when xenophobia greeted our Biafra brothers in zulu land, Nigerian National anthem was sang instead of Biafra anthem. anyway, do we have biafra anthem?...

To be frank in Okorocha's expression, ' no one knows exactly what IPOB and Nnamdi kanu wants'

Instead of thanking the biafrans for sending in AirPeace to rescue 78 sufferisticated afonja drug dealers from imminent death in SA, you're here posting trash about Nnamdi Kanu who's in faraway UK living his life, what did Tinubu and other thieving afonjas do to save afonjas stranded in SA? Very ungrateful ingrates.

Do you read at all ? At least borrow data to checkmate mazi Nnamdi Kanu which of course is far more better than that of the dead buari

And a pig quoted me.

When One Has Nothing To Do, He/she Will Always Try To Hang Self On Biafra Matter. Same Way One Idiot Call In-SANI~ty Blab About Biafra.

Is the owner of Airpeace a member of Nnamdi Kanu's group?

Op will you shut up, manzi nnamdi KANU spoke against the xenophobic attack he wasn't mute about it,
You talk about him sending biafran soldiers to recuse ipob in SA? U are a dumb fool spawning trash here, Nigeria should let us have our own Nation and see if we biafra as a nation don't look after our own people home and abroad, we broke free from Nigeria, Nigeria fought us for three yrs 3 million biafrans died in that war Nigeria forced us back and gave us the Nigerian identity, the only identity we biafrans can travel out of this country with is a Nigerian identity they forced on us, so if u want us to take care of our own people as biafrans, let us have our own nation that's simple, save this trash for your afonja brothers

Thank you @DEMOLA_AJAYI

I have always said that Nnamdi Kanu's fight isn't genuine, with the horrific things that happened to Nigerians in South Africa, especially as (NA IGBOS PLENTY FOR SA) I would have thought that a word of sympathy to ease the minds of his followers would at least sufficed. If u talk now IPOB members would want to curse ur destiny because they've clouded their judgements with sentiments.

Idokojimmy:

Nigeria as a country never sent any plane to rescue Nigerians in SA, and you expect a man being labeled a terrorist by Nigeria writing letters about him to president Trump and the British government, and over the world to, to do a job of a president? Biafra is struggling for secession it's not yet a nation of its own, so u dumb fools should chill talking about a freedom fighter

Just shut your mouth, cause nnamdi KANU condemned the xenophobic attacks on foreigners living in SA

Yorobamoozlems will not thank Nnamdi Kanu and Allen Onyema for saving their black dirty drug-dealing asz from South Africa na to dey obsess with IPOB matter.

Deepfeel:

Him for send Ike Ekweremadu's attacker after South Africans. sheh him pay their transport go Japan to arrest Buhari, make them go SA na. is it too difficult to ask when Ibo brothers are being killed?

Idokojimmy:

This one did not read the piece. i can bet anything.

how will that useless writeup impact his life nonsense you yeyobas go wail tire im a proud biafran and i love NNAMDI KANU with passion

Idokojimmy:

U weren't the one that advised him to send ipob to attack ekweremadu or arrest Buhari in Japan, so shut up, u are not igbo or biafra,

No body has time to read your trivial post.. Sorry, you wasted your time

I guess that the ignoramus that wrote this does not know that Kanu condemned the Xenophobic attacks on his tweeter handle 2 weeks ago? The picture is below.

If there had been Biafra, nobody will beg Nigeria to air lift anybody home. An Igbo man is currently air lifting everyone home at great cost to himself, regardless of where in Nigeria you come from

Anyone saying we are all Nigerians first before our ethnic nationalities is suffering from colonial mentality. I cannot be something lord Lugard and his wife created before the name of my forefathers.

To be a Nigerian is not by force!

Idokojimmy:

can u swear that the south African returnees which u have out of mockery and hate labelled biafrans are all members of kanus group? U see,..the stark intent of your thread is as glaring as your own stupidity

Idokojimmy:

If the owner of airpeace do negative thing now, he will automatically become a member of Nnamdi Kanu's group by you and your like.... You people are diabolically evil
