Nigerian students give South African companies 48 hours ultimatum to leave Nigeria over Xenophobic attacks

The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, have given all South African countries operating in Nigeria a 24 hours ultimatum to leave the country. This is in reaction to the xenophobic attacks meted out on Nigerians in South Africa.

NANS staged a peaceful protest on Thursday at some South African companies located in Abuja where they made their displeasure known and revealed that they will no longer be silent while Nigerians are attacked in South Africa whereas South African companies like MTN, DSTV and Shoprite are allowed to operate freely in Nigeria.

Speaking on behalf of the students, the president of NANS, Kadiri Aruna, said South African companies in Nigeria had only 48 hours to leave Nigerian soil, else Nigerian students will retaliate by pulling down all MTN masts in the country in the country. DSTV and Shoprite were also not left out in the threats.

Aruna said:
“I don’t want to say we will be barbaric but we will not be lawful in our actions, we will do it and face the consequences, enough of this rubbish.’’
Aruna went further to reminisce on how Nigeria was instrumental in freeing South Africans from apartheid and Nigeria contributed 80 per cent of the freedom the South Africans are enjoying today because we saved them from the jaws of apartheid and have over the years supported South Africa financially. He said it was time to take action and called on the Federal Government to step up and work towards evacuating Nigerians in South Africa. He also suggestion cutting diplomatic ties with the South Africans due to the silence of their government in the face of the attacks.
"The government of South Africa is criminally quiet and they say silence is consent, and their police are folding their hands while they are killing Nigerians, this is conspiracy, enough is enough,’’ he said.

    1. Stop talking NONSENSE. They are making a case to end the attacks on Nigerians abroad. The companies will now have to advocate for foreigners to their govt if they want to stay in Nigeria peacefully.

  25. I hope it woudnt be mere words, enough is enough, Nigerian practically fed these idiots if only they know their history they would be bowing down for us. Nigerians are very hard working and hospital-able people and that's why we have all sorts of nationals in our country living in peace. SAs are violent people, i dont know why our people go there.

  30. Unnecessary, Nigerians that cannot find for their non tribal benefit, cannot fight for the common good now go to the lowest level of fighting an external entity within the country . Usually, the problem is not the external enemy. The external enemy at home and abroad created a situation where it provides value or sense of value while the home grown usually does the opposite. Same in SA same in Nigeria.

  31. South Africans are bunch of losers. I think they are jealous of Nigerians. It's not an excuse that Nigerians are taking over their jobs. It's because they are not qualified of securing the job. So, I think the NANS are not very wrong for the protests. But South Africans should not Forget that Nigerians can do something more aggressive to them. Most interesting, I think this is my opportunity for MTN to pay for my unused data before deduction. Lolzzz... MTN is in trouble!!!

  34. So sad everyone keeps shouting employment while south africans bully and kill your fellow brothers and sisters in their country. some people will just never step up and voice for once to injustice. won't blame anyone who speak against the protest, since what all Nigerians are good at is being an employee not thinking of being an employer "an entrepreneur". wehdone.

  35. shutting down of the south african embassies in Nigeria will be a great step too.

  37. I am in full support let dem go ,, we have business men in Nigeria to build better shoprite and let's totally send MTN parking,, after all their network is poor,,,,

  38. Enough really is a enough. I sincerely hope NANS takes action as this doesn't make sense anymore and Nigerians are too quite and dumb. Out people in South Africa are going through so much. We must all stand together and fight. They should go. We will not die. After all, our entrepreneurs over there are also employer's of labour.

  40. Guys, that's not the way. Looting, killing and destroying will only increase negativity since it's Nigerians as staffs of these companies will loose jobs besides Companies are not govt.


    Nans can talk about peaceful demonstration not violence. You are students in sch to foster hope for the future not behave like animals amidst all these negative vices in the society today, you should be young promising hope of betterment in Nigeria.

    In fact, am disappointed in Nans. Why not take a better option to show that your education is not in vain ? Hmmm... mchew!!

    What a sick society we have today, every body is violent ! No one to take wise approach to anything any more.

    As under graduates yet to be injected into the working forces are now destroying jobs hope there will be more job awaiting your graduation ?

  45. If you're against this protest, then you're a coward. One thing you and I know overtime is that no country dare kill an American citizen in their country as they know that the whole United state will stand up and fight. Why can't Nigerians be like that? oh, I forgot.. lives don't matter in Nigeria, after all Nigerians are occupied mostly with cows "maalu" lol..

  46. Stupid cowards, if you give your governors/govt that loot your allocations same ultimatum, your brothers may not need to be in SA seeking for greener pastures. Thousands of jobs have been lost since the new govt took over and in your myopic way, you believe closing all SA businesses which will result in more job loses is the answer. The economy is a mess and they kept mum, thousands have lost their lives right here on Nigerian soil to Fulani herdsmen, Boko Haram, Militants, Kidnappers, armed robbers etc and they kept mum.
    Nigeria has an ambassador to SA, what has he/she done since this incident?

  47. Shame on Nigeria,shame on federal government, shame on there stupid leaders animals,why can't they build industries companies factories, for the employment of the Nigeria citizen,for them to work in there country instead of runing to other country to work,imagin SA that's not up to population of lagos,have mtn dstv shoprite,companies that arw yet to be mention,later Nigeria will call there self giant of africa,God will punish all this stupid leader's in Nigeria, stupid Nigeria leading by generation of animal,cows,Nigeria will not know peace untill it divided into 3,bad corrupted leaders shame
