We will evacuate our people if the Xenophobic attacks worsens - FG

The Federal government today said it will consider the option of evacuating Nigerians who are willing to come back home if the xenophobic attacks in South Africa worsens. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Aminu Wali said this while speaking to newsmen in Abuja today April 16th
"If it gets worse it is the duty of our country to make sure our people are brought back and we are taking that duty serious. We are not prepared to allow any of our nationals to be subjected to such inhuman treatment. We are monitoring the situation and will now take action according to the situation that develops,” he said.
The Minister appealed to all Nigerian business owners to close their businesses for now until the situation has been brought under control.

In a related development, the House of Representatives today asked for the recall of Nigeria's Ambassador to South Africa following the xenophobic attacks. The house members also advocated that the diplomatic principle of reciprocity be applied to South African businesses here in Nigeria.

    You may bring them back and improve your administration so they and other Nigerians can benefit. @applying diplomatic principle of reciprocity on South Africa businesses...most of us don't think that's a good idea, and not just because it might backfire. We don't think it's a good idea because we believe human beings have human rights, whatever their colour and wherever they live. Stealing assets is wrong, and so is stealing the right to earn a living, no matter where the victim was born. Two wrongs can't make right.
    This is indeed a tough time for other concerned South Africans who condemned the attack, and of course the victims.

    Nigeria has the most fucked up Foreign Policy in the Whole World which is operating without a defined goal.
    PATHETIC!!!!
    This is what to expect when u appoint Retarded politicians as Heads of Foreign missions instead of appointing folks with Intelligence background who will be able to effectively perform the main functions Embassies are made for which is Spying and protecting the interest of its Citizens whether they are right or wrong.
    Hope the incoming administration will as a matter of urgency correct this anomaly.

    So until it gets worst, that's when they're act.
    Thats the style of GEJ government, until BH killed close to 10,000 people before he did something.
    If something is not worst he won't act.
