Inauguration: Nigerian students warn SA President Jacob Zuma to stay away from Nigeria

Nigerian students under the aegis of the National Association of Nigerian Students has warned South African President, Jacob Zuma, not to come to Nigeria for the inauguration of President-elect Buhari following what they described as his poor handling of the xenophobic attacks on some Africans including Nigerians in his country in April.

According to the student body, the failure of the South African President to apologize to Nigerians after the attacks is distasteful. The students expressed their anger in a statement signed by its President, Tijani Usman.


The statement in part reads
“We wish to advise the South African President (Jacob Zuma) to rather stay at home and address burning issues, rather than embarking on a visit that is the least desirable. The South African President’s failure to apologise to Nigeria for the losses the country and our citizens incurred during the xenophobic attacks on foreigners leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. There is therefore, no point felicitating with a people who clearly do not matter much to you. President Zuma’s visit will only amount to pretence.”

Zuma apologized to some other countries, but refused to apologize to Nigeria as regards the xenophobic attacks, so I support NANS fully on this.

And if he comes, what can you or will you do?

The move to stop Zuma from participating in the inauguration is baseless. NANS should address more important issues.

NANS should go and think of better things to do. Corrupt NANS.

That is a good stand

Just lip service. Zuma has body guards and Nigeria will also beef up security for all heads of states. If he wants to be in Nigeria for the inauguration he will pitch up regardless of what a small group of students and e-warriors say or do. So stop stupidity. Linda focus your energy on reporting about good things especially positive things about any country. The negative energy you out out will one day be rewarded to you.

Gabby said...

Good question, what's he really coming to do? We need his presence

Unknown said...

He is coming to see Zuma Rock in Abuja....Maybe he thinks it belongs to him or South Africans!!

You guys, just like saying what you like. Are you in South Africa? Do you know what is being done by the SA government to get things calm?

Do you know how many Nigerians are in SA?

You know if anything happens to the SA President, the SA Citizens will attack Nigerians in SA.

You just like reading news, comment like you are where the issues took place.

NANS people no get work. Instead of them of focus on their academics and how to improve education, research, creativity, it is Jacob Zuma that is their focus! Arrant nonsense!

NANS calm down and read your books.

Let him just stay back,zulu gabari

Pls leave the SA president alone and stop looking for fight where there is not fight. Is he the one that said they should kill foreigners? He kicked against it and even tried his best to stop it. The same way Nigerians did not tell TB Joshua's church building to fall down and kill 84 SA people. Pls let there be peace. I dont know why Nigerians always like fight? Are you guys animals???

NANs is just looking for cheap popularity. They just want to be heard. This is the most childish and irresponsible move that you are about to make. Pls take a chill pill

Anonymous said...

I dont understand these senseless NANs. Dont you have DSTV in your homes? SA has apologised several times on DSTV channel 151, 154, and 152. In fact, it was almost like an advert. They were apologising every 30 minutes when it was still hot then. So pls go and read your books. We have better problems in this country to think about like electricity, unemployment, boko-haram etc

Nigerians talk too much and una body too dey hot. All we do on this blog is speak big big grammer without action. We make mouth but no action. Abeg students make una go sit down for corner. We have more pressing issues in this country than this your trivial issue. Smtchew
