Reports of the phone call is contained in a statement released by the office of the South African president today April 30th. The statement in part below
“The two Presidents reaffirmed the warm and cordial relations between South Africa and Nigeria and pledged that the two countries will continue to work together for the good of their peoples and the continent as a whole. President Jonathan expressed his support for the efforts of South Africa to arrest the attacks on foreign nationals and to ensure the safety and security of all citizens, including foreign nationals and those from the African continent in particular, who bore the brunt of the attacks earlier this month (April).”
Let peace rain is all I pray for.
ReplyDeleteI still maintain that Zuma didn't act on time. Its not enough to put a call across to GEJ. He should ensure that the attack is stopped and put in place measure to prevent future attacks too.

ReplyDeleteMTN SAYS NIGERIANS WILL LOOSE JOBS YET THEY CAN'T CONTROL THEIR PEOPLE TO STOP XENOPHOBIA
ReplyDeleteLooking at the way South African big businesmall businesses in South Africa, one is left wondering: did Nigeria waste its hard-earned resources to liberate South Africa from apartheid so as to replace it on the chain of economic slavery? Mr. President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, if this is what the bulky files being handed over to you are all about, we the people of Nigeria are vehemently opposed to it. ‘Our mumu don do’.
. I have waited in vain for any government official, either Nigerian or South African, to call MTN Nigeria to order for reportedly insulting Nigerians by throwing it right in our faces that an attack on the company could cost Nigeria 6,000 jobs. So, is that what this whole thing is all about?
Rather than sounding so arrogant, shouldn’t they be seeking ways to at least pacify an aggrieved country whose citizens are being massacred on the streets of South Africa? How many Nigerian lives are at stake in South Africa because of the monster of xenophobia? How much have these people lost to these despicable xenophobic attacks? These are Nigerian citizens whose wealth and wellbeing translate and reflect directly on Nigeria the same way the company’s profit, taken largely from Nigeria, reflects directly on the South African economy. Shouldn’t South Africa businesses in Nigeria, knowing how much profit they rake in from this country, be mounting pressure on their home government to halt the xenophobic attacks in South Africa to avoid reprisal attacks on South African businesses elsewhere?
MTN, for instance, is reported to be in operations in 18 countries across the world, but Nigeria alone contributes over 50 percent of its global profit after tax reported to be in excess of $6 billion. Simple courtesy should have taught them to treat Nigeria more kindly and with greater compassion.
Again, if divide-and-rule strategy peaked in South Africa in the form of apartheid, South African businesses mustn’t take that divisive culture with them wherever they go. This is why one is also sad that MultiChoice charges different rates on its uniform bouquet in Nigeria and South Africa. Why should this be?
And now, we hear that MTN is about moving its dominance of the telecommunications industry to monopoly with the acquisition of a rival company, Visafone! I may not be an expert in this area, but I hear that if this move is allowed to stand, we may go back to the days of per second billing not being possible because there would be no competition to ensure that Nigerians continue to derive value for spends on telecommunications services.
And it is also very annoying to hear South African businesses in Nigeria dominate the media with tales of how much they are paying to the Nigerian government in taxes with no mention of the staggering amount they are remitting to the South African economy. By the way, tax payment is no donation; neither does it in any way represent favour to the government or people of the country to which it is paid. Companies that fulfil tax obligations are only obeying the law.
This is a perfect example of what the western press used to do against the continent of Africa. Often, when neocolonialism is discussed, I hear diplomats decry that the western media are telling the story of Africa their own way, from their own perspective. The African voice is never heard. This creates a dangerous imbalance in global view, giving a wrong perspective of Africa. Now our South African brothers seem to be testing this drug on us. What makes this one worse is the effrontery of splashing it in the face of Nigerian media. Right in our faces!
my points are.
Rather than cautioning their home citizens against xenophobic attack on Nigerians, MTN in its bullyish natures says an attack on the company could cost Nigeria 6,000 jobs. So, is that what this whole thing is all about? #WhytheSAbullyinNigeria
Blame him for not speaking out earlier.
ReplyDeleteAfter wasting souls? where was him then? He couldn't curb his mad dogs. Nd I know Jona will accept the plea immediately without thinking twice mtcheeew!
