The students, led by their president, Aruna Kadiri, moved from the popular Unity Fountain to MTN office in Maitama and Multi-Choice office located at the Central Business District to protest against the renewed xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.
The protesting students also issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the South African nationals to leave Nigeria.
They also urged the High Commission officials to cancel the dinner organised in honour of Regina Tambo, the co-founder of ANC Youth League.
At the ministry of Foreign Affairs, the students urged the government to take concrete action to protect Nigerians in South Africa.
Kadiri, while addressing newsmen, said "We are demanding that they should break the ties between both countries if there's any because the xenophobic attacks that had happened long time ago has come again.
"We have decided to clear the madness with madness."
He said they burned the South African flag at the High Commission to pass a message that "we don't have relationship with them any longer."
"Within 48 hours, all South Africans in Nigeria should leave or else, we won't be able to guarantee their security anymore," Kadiri said.
Responding, the spokesperson of Nigeria’s Foreign Affairs ministry, Clement Aduku urged the protesting students to be calm as the federal government is currently engaging in talks with its South African counterpart over the xenophobic attacks.
He also assured that all diplomatic means would be explored to stop the killings of Nigerian nationals in South Africa. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteCriminals or no criminals, Nigerians are more intelligent and hard working and by far more intelligent than you lazy bastards. Only your women work which is why u loose them to Nigerians hence one of the reasons for your actions. i can see why the white people ruled your black asses for so long. If not for world intervention with Nigeria as a key part, ull still be in the jungle where you truly belong from your actions. Rubbish ungrateful animals.
DeleteThe problem is joblessness. Almost 1 in 3 working age South-African citizens can't find a job. The ANC allows the non-citizens to flood over the border everyday and many of those people take jobs that South-Africans desperately needs. It does not take a lot to figure out that this will eventually cause poor jobless South-Africans who can't find a job in their own country to become violent.
