The Nigerian Ambassador to South Africa, Martin Cobham has
ruled out the option of evacuating Nigerians from South Africa for now following strings of Xenophobic attacks.
He
also alleged that pictures and videos circulating the internet about
the xenophobic attacks were false and that most of them are from
occurrences in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda. "I will not want to subscribe to immediate evacuation. We want to look at this thing in three phases - The lower, middle and Higher threat. We can only appeal to our people to abide by the host country's laws, avoid indiscriminate clashes and violence and work with local authorities" he said

So Nigeria shud wait till they've killed every1 and there wud be nobody to evcuate b4 they start evacuation? Ok, Let's say this man doesn't have personal aides and securities, will he say somtyn like this?
What is this man saying, is he on!!!!, when they are killing innocent people and u are still looking for three phase....Nigeria self . Other countries have been evacuation...let GEJ shut down DSTV, SHOPRITE, MTN, for them to know we are serious after all whole will loose, cause Nigeria is the highest country that patronise them.#nigeriashoulddosomething
Na wa ohhh... I don't buy such idea. What else do they expect to see from the ongoing attack?
I hope they are safe.
OKORO UPGRADED**
You must be stupid!!!
He is crazy,let him send his family there then! So when will it be time enough??? When they have injured all the nigerians??? Mtcheww

I hope he's speaking from reality on ground.
Not speaking from his secure abode while others are running for their lives.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
Isit until more people are killed
The attacks have spread to Johannesburg! They burnt a Nigerian mans car shop!! Haba! That's enough to commit suicide !!!
This man should be evacuTed from Nigeria ..what's he still doing here? He should go and talk to the daft President and his son
South African owned companies should be boycotted
Its too much!
Tfe
His explanation does not make sense at all especially when people are being slaughtered and the Coercive Institutions are almost at a standstill.
Even if u can't evacuate them, protect them by using all Diplomatic means necessary including threats in terms of Economic boycott.
He should try another approach, pls.
This rubbish, we need act now and forget Wat dis longer throat ambassador is saying ask him if any of is family is in South Africa presently. Idiot
Assuming your child or relation is there or is a victim of this attacks, you will leave him there abi?
This man is not serious
God will certainly punish this man and all the other people in government who don't care about our brothers dying over there. Senseless selfish man. This is why Nigeria will never prosper because our leaders don't give a fuck about our well being
Where is this man from cos he's plain ridiculous
*** mynameisSkelewu ***
We've heard.
Until they are all killed abi. Mad man, put your kids in their situation and see what this nigerians are passing through. Engr Emy
Listen to d stupidness that is pouring outta his mouth. Nigerians all mouth no action.
For ur risqué costumes visit konga.com/naughtybynature
Is he just dumb or plain stupid?
I HAVE SAID IT AND WOULD SAY IT AGAIN. NIGERIANS ARE MAD PEOPLE ESPECIALLY THE GOVT OFFICIALS IMAGINE WHAT THIS PIG MOUTHED IDIOT IS SAYING. NIGERIA IS THE WORST COUNTRY IN AFRICA. IF OTHER SMALLER AFRICAN COUNTRIES VALUE THEIR CITIZENS LIFE ALL WE VALUE IS THEFT AND CORRUPTION SUCH A SHAME
The goat is simply afraid of losing his job! Mad man!!!!
My friend shut up!... Y don't you send your children there now if u tink those Nigerians there are safe. He must have been bribed by the SA authorities. See his mouth sef! Mtchewww ignorant human being
Thank you Mr. ambassador my brother, i agree with you, evacuation isn't just an option lailai! evacuation how? these students what happens to them? a child who has been schooling in South Africa for four - five years now & is about writing last exams" what happens to that child & all the fees ? am sure something can be done to achieve peace again, i as a parent ve not known sleep nor peace since almost a week now but am not of the opinion that Nigerians should be evacuated, Nigeria is too big to be in anyone's pocket, i know we can survive this too 'cos we are survivor, GOD Almighty is also a Nigerian, i ve seen HIM work wonders in Nigeria b4 & i know HE will do it again again 'cos He's merciful....
Until they kill them all abi? The Chibok approach is the bane of this govt. Which one be lower, middle and higher threat? So there is a level of fatalities to be recorded before positive action is taken?
haa this is serious oooo....
This man better be telling us the truth.
Mediocres in power, why must our leaders show all the time that they're clowns. Malawi, Zimbabwe, Congo has responded appropriately. What's this nigga spitting.
nigerians should be carefull over there...st afr are wicked and lazy
Weak man! He's saying this cos his relation hasn't been killed in SA. Mtcheeewwwww!!
Linda I said so..
This man got to be kidding me.

Dis man is mad o, thank God der tenure is abt 2 come 2 an end, chai! So oda countries dat r evacuating der pple 4rm SA r fools abi? I swear we v no govt @ll
Useless man! Is that all he can say? How can we save Nigerians lives over there? It's obvious those beasts called the Zulus are killing for fun. To something man!
Hunnmm! Arre u sure Mr Ambassador? All dis photos Linda has sharing nko?
What nonsense! He's sitting comfortably in his home while our brothers and sisters are being hunted like dogs. I can't believe what he said. Must our things( Nigeria) be so different? God what is happening! I guess they will eventually evacuate dead bodies.
May God punish this man and i pray he meets his early grave like those innocent people, what a silly comment. He is probably somewhere in a secure house with guards everywhere. Our people are being killed and this foolish man is grading the level of danger when we can all see from the news hoe people are accualy dying. Our Government needs to do something asap and i just pray the Buhari Government would be able to restructure and re train all out high commissions abroad because the ones we have now is just by name, all of them are useless , in other words you are on your own if anything happens to you in a foreign land. I pray the round this guy up and burn him too, maybe our Government would wake up then.
God punish you ... Until dem kill ur pikin before u can subscribe to it abi .... Oloshi .... Some pple re jux talking as if S.Africans re killing foreigner's animals and not human beings
I believe him on d videos
Sack this fat Bastard! Evacuate his ass to naija. Dumb fuck
He must be very stupid !!!
On what basis did he come to dat conclusion?
till all is dead abi?IgboBorn!
Hmmmm....I hop its false oooo
I hope he is telling d fact, and truth thereof bcos if it turns out otherwise he wil b held responsible.
You Must be a useless man , can you imagine what this moron is saying .
God punish you for saying that, is it until Nigerians are killed in large numbers dat d needful would be done??? Linda take note!
Does Congo have winter season cos most pics shows people on sweats and jacket. And SA are approaching their winter period.
I read a comment about someone who said they were false. And it's actually true. Those photos are from way back Wars in other african countries. Please Nigerians don't conclude on what you don't know.
Nigeria always take things undergoes.
To u Mr Ambassador God is watching
Can't say I blame u. Its because you have no family there and you r nt in d line of fire yourself. Like the authorities helped the man from mozambique who was murdered in broad day light. God help us....
He's not using his right senses...let all Nigerian be evacuated and let Nigeria create a purse for the support of the indigent masses who need help...Nigerians are suffering outside our country.
This man is a bastard!!! When has Congo DR become south Africa with Zulu boys? I swear I'ma shoot this muthafucker in the face! This juz pisses me off
This are the kind of people the present administration have in government....Totally Clueless...lots of media around the world are having live footage and yet this man say they are from another country....he should try walking the street with his family...Ode!!!
Stupid man....i pray the kill a member of ur family....so the truth will come out......fool
Are u kidding me? Who be this???
Is this guy for real.??!!..stupid,stupid ..so all d eye witness accounts are all lies too abi and the Nigerians or foreign citizens in the countries he mentioned deserve to be killed Abi ,this just tells us again that we did the right thing by voting GEJ and his administration out..baba go slow..if he was still in power, its in 6months time hel take action, after all other nationals have repatriated their citizens and only Nigerians are left...high,middle and low alerts ..WTF ,..When people are dieing

Goat.
You are waiting for them to get killed so you can evacuate dead bodies.
This man is a big idiot! He should be recalled ASAP. Anyway Buhari would soon recall you. Insensitive mofo.
Pls what is this man talking about?
Hian it had better not be but before it is too late rightful measures should be taken
All this our politiciance are useless n self centerd, why wount he talk rubish? When he is highly guided wit security men and it has not afected any of his relative that's why he is sounding like,
this guy is a big fool.....if they hear things like this they will continue, i have said it and i will say it again, if we kill their own people here they will stop..
Look what this idiot is saying is bcos ur children re nt there?can't blvd a parent saying this.our pple need to be protected cos SA govt is nt doing anything.our leaders re nt helping matter at all.that's why I like American govt
hmmmmm ok..... I notice the attacks are not covered soo much on CNN so maybe Government know something we don't but!!! I have also received messages from Nigerians in SA at least 2 and they confirmed the attacks so if the attacks are really going on then sorry Mr Ambassador you need alabukun, what do you mean phases, people are dying in a country where they live!! and probably doing nothing wrong, just going about their business and you are waiting for threats !!!!
This guy should be flogged. What does he mean that the pictures are fake and are from Congo? Even CNN showed businesses that were burnt and interviewed people that lost family members.
I blame am. He as security guards guarding him. If this thing escalate they will escort him straight to a. Private Hanger to fly out of the country. Ski.
You are Stupid Mr Ambassador
If I hear!
-PHILEO
Don't believe!!
IT'S A SHAME.
I PRAY YOU DON'T HAVE ANYONE WHO LEAVES IN S/A.
WHEN OTHER NATIONS ARE PROACTIVELY MOVING THEIR OWN PEOPLE YOU ARE HEAR SAYING RUBBISH TO NIGERIANS.
YOU ARE A BIG DISGRACE.
This man must be heartless to lie to Nigerians!
it is people like that made Jonathan Clueless
Chaaiii dis man ooo...cant believe dis coming frm d ambassador..so until d blood sucking animals start unleashing their anger on Nigerians before he will evacuate them? Hmmm!
I Dnt believe this man. Better go an evacuate them for now until the violence (or make believe violence as he claims) is over.
this man is an idiot !!!
This man must be insane, with all the evidences so glaring, he is saying no evacuation. Am sure he doesn't know why he is there as ambassador.
You are as stupid and clueless as your government, people re dieing and people who leave in South Africa are witnesses and u utter such rubbish because no one in your family is dead. People have lost their means of livelihood, their homes and shops have been looted. Stupid man
A very useless Ambassador, cuz none of his relatives has been molested, attacked or killed.
Clueless bunch of peeps.
Tueh!!!!
Is dis man well at all. So d whole world is lying. D day day break into Nig embassy I hope you can still talk. Dat man should be recalled
He is mad. Avoid???? Avoid how when they are coming to you? To your home?
Mad man. I bet if a relative of his is there, he would have done something about it.
Naija and their last minute action sha! Ok sha, I hope you and your family will stay too till u feel its neccesary.
Excuses
You are such a selfish man. So they should not evacuate them just because you don't want to loose your job. You have relocated your family abroad.
You are been short-changed daily from your coins. Yet, we patronise them daily. To register our anger against the unwarranted Xenophobia attack in South African, Nigerians subscribing to DSTV should stop patronising DSTV for now. All Nigerians on MTN should port to other networks. This is in solidarity with our brothers being killed in South African. Please kindly re broadcast. Linda you have to help us on this
Na wa oo.....lemme see how South Africans Wud survive without us. U knw we getin upper hands in their economic dev. Anyhw #Godwin
Oh myyy....if it's not true den why wud Zimbabwe govt evacuate it's own citizens!
May be a member of his family is yet to be a victim.
Place him in the danger zone and see him retract his words.

Linda u are no suppose to post such word from a foolish Ambassador, person weh nor get level. he can not even maintain his office, imagine, when u get to Nigeria embassy here in south Africa, to renew your passport or any other document, they will tell you no network, to the level some people will go there at Nigeria embassy with their own bundle. Abeg make that guy just shot up if he nor get wetin he want talk. nonsense, i dey ves for wetin that guy just talk...i am in joburg so i dey talk from wetin i see
