Following anti-Xenophobia protests in Lagos and Abuja, the South African
consulate in Lagos has shut down its embassy today. The consulate was shut
after dozens of Nigerians carried placards on Tuesday and protested to the
South African embassy in Abuja and also to MTN head office saying the attacks
on black immigrants in South Africa must stop.
The protesters, led by members of
the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, demanded an immediate end
to the attacks and killings. They also threatened to attack South African
nationals and businesses in Nigeria, if the attacks did not stop within 72
hours. According to sources, this the major reasons the embassy was shut down
today.
The Nigeria government should learn not only to bark but also to bite. We attach too much lackadaisical attitude to some grievous issues to often.
