The #Xenophobia attacks by some South Africans against Nigerians and other foreign Nationals are completely heartbreaking. Sad to see people that suffered through decades of apartheid, violence and hatred, now turning around to do the same/worse to others. (1)

The people that South Africans look up to should PLEASE speak up and denounce #Xenophobia. The Government, business people, athletes, artists, media personalities, and even the average citizens have a responsibility to stand up for justice the way the world stood up for SA (2)

This is not the SA that Mandela fought and sacrificed for. This is not the SA that a lot of us have come to know and love. I just watched a video of a man burnt alive in front of a crowd. It's sick, and heartbreaking. "Hell must be empty because all the demons are here". Sigh (3)

Africa's problem is AFRICANS. Some in Government, some in the general population.. but Africa's problem is Africans. I keep pushing for the day that the rest of us will rise to become our solution. May God help us. And may we realize that Heaven helps those who help themselves.

President muhamadu Buhari, senetors,governors,traditional rulers,ministers,prominent nigerians,inspector generals,PDP/APC.This is becoming too shameful. How can we have no dignity in our polity. Nigerians are being killed home and abroad and its all politics as usual. Shame.

Mandela did not die suffer all he did for you all to start killing your African brothers and sisters, not all immigrants are in South Africa to sell drugs, you are all doing yourself a great injustice liking people who give so much to your economy #SayNoToXenophobicAttacks

I have seen a lot of supposed educated South Africans justify these killings and hate. So shameful what we’ve all become.

After seeing the pictures and videos, I have made up my mind!
Personally, I have boycotted South Africa and gradually I’m boycotting all South African products.

I won’t enrich a nation that treats my brothers and sisters like animals. ~FRZ#Xenophobia

Reported attacks against Nigerians in South Africa is unacceptable and stands condemned. Urgent steps need to be taken with the SA authorities and the African Union to bring an end to this ill wind that can only end up destroying the fabric of our African brotherhood. -AA

Nothing angers me more than the way in which Nigerians are being subjected to mass murder and persecution in #SouthAfrica.The people and @GovernmentZA will pay heavily for every drop of Nigerian blood that they have spilt.We have long memories. Sooner or later we will retaliate.

It’s like when someone is filled with so much anger towards you and you are not the one they should be fighting. What do you do? How do you make them see that we are supposed to unite to fight real devil, poverty, oppression … pic.twitter.com/U2DajwNCpj
