The Chairperson of the House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs, Nnenna Elendu-Ukeje, has called on the Federal government to initiate moves to evacuate Nigerians in South Africa following recent xenophobic attacks. In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria, Ukeje said;
“The Federal Government of Nigeria should rise up to the occasion by having contingency plans to evacuate Nigerians within 24 hours to avoid us losing our citizens to these attacks. It is expedient to think of where all Nigerians can gather within 24 hours for safety either in our embassy or mission for the safety of our citizens,” she said.
Also speaking, chairperson of the House committee on Diaspora, Abike Dabiri-Erewa condemned the attacks and said the House of Representative members will move a motion in its next plenary session to discuss the attacks

Na wa ooo...SA lasan lasan......#thobbyomoalhaja
Mugabe has played a great role
In waking Nigerian leaders up
from their sleep.
Quite thoughtful.
Are they sure nigerians affected will want to go home?...
Oya ooooo.ku si Ile is better than ku si ti ti
We pray something is done urgently
It is well
Naija wen una go learn to stay for house. Na oju kokoro dey worry una. Make una dey come home. Market don finish.
We need action, and not all dis words on papers.
Well to be honest i dont think nigerians would want to return. Because im sure mugabe has plans for their citizens return eg temporary setup plan to help them but this Govt would just bring them back and ignore them. Because u cant bring somebody whose based there to nigeria just like that without plans to temporarily assist them.
Such a barbaric act by fellow blacks...the presidency should act fast
Nigerians will not want to leave oh. Most of them have lost touch with Naija while greed will not allow others to think of their lives first before any other thing. Whichever one they choose to do, they just just stay safe.
The question is.....are Nigerians there willing to cum back home????
Moye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB....
exactly, Its very strange how FG is ignoring this issue like they are not aware.
Lmaooooooo
Is high time ooo
so because a group of barbaric hooligan from a particular part of SA are killing foreigners (to be precise ZULU's) our fist cause of action is to evacuate all nigerians form SA.Why would our senate feel that by going to pick up our people who have spent all their lives, invested in the country in question,married to south africans be the best option,Has south africa declared war? or is some one looking for a way to generate money from the evacuation flights.., Rather than being this dramatic, why can't we send representatives together with all other north, east, west and south african countries and go have a conference with the south african government to address this issue of xenophobia .Mandate the government to apprehend all the perpetrators(,e.g. THE ZULU KING ETC)and taken to ICC to be trailed and predicted. CASE CLOSED! just watched a viral video which was sent to me from S.A of them burning young girl, teenage kids, adults, alive and it made me so sick to the stomach.
To my fellow Africans lets keep the PEACE AND STOP THE VIOLENCE!
The earlier Nigerian govt acts the better
My year of Linda's 100k
Dis is serious
Jonathan please act fast
Mr president please act fast
South Africans here to must go or we will revenge
FG operates @ snail speed in matters that require a high level of urgency...They shld treat dis issue like it's hot 'asap'.

3. Close MTN
Make Una go Una country....Gej...try do this one before u commot.
Change with rigged election and criminals as god father.
D thng is nigerians wnaa die derre dem no won go house.
South Africans are killing nationals of other african countries living amongst them,claiming that they are sabotaging their economy while their companies operating within our shores keep exploiting Nigerians everyday yet we don't complain!!! It had to take a court injunction to stop DSTV (a south african company) from increasing d prices of bouquets on their pay tv platform which is way beyond expensive for the ordinary Nigerian! MTN (another south african company) keeps draining our resources with high call rates & internet bundles yet deceiving us with their numerous sham promo which nobody ever wins!!!! Somebody please tell the south african govt that Nigerians aint fools!!! They cannot be making so much money from us & killing our brothers within their shores! An MTN service mast would go down for the life of any nigerian killed within their shores! TELL DEM!!!! #1MTNmast4onedeadNigerian
Abi oooo,na really change is here!anyway let our citizens come home
U be mumu so dem rig incumbent president out of office? U are very dumb
Yep! Evacuate them fast..No time to check time plsss...We need our fellow NaijaPeeps back home safe & sound.
This is so out of place, but this woman has a striking resemblance with Liz Anjorin the yoruba actress. They could pass for siblings.
MTN WORK ON UR STUPID NETWORK HERE IN WUSE2 ABUJA IT'S FREAKING SLOWWWWW ASSHOLES! !!!!!!!!!!!
W arevery weak after evacuation dem back let do sumtin about mtn dstv and chop rite bcos thy can't b making money here and thy don't want our ppl our der
Its about time biko
Easy to blame FG pn everything. Who told y'all that Nigerians in SA would lile to come back.
there are 5million naijas in SA o! U need titanic ship o
Nigerians should start by attacking SA Airlines, all known SA businesses in Nigeria including DSTV, MTN. These guys are mad. We should show them too. Other countries should do so too.
When boko haram killed people in the north u said nothing about evacuation. Mumu house of assembly
we are not ready to come !!!
Gud move bt dey shd pls act fast
Wat re dey even doing in SA weM dey re experiencing attack. Nobody should even tell dem to come back home. They should all start running back to their country.
Is it not better than to have a Dundee United for president
God help us
