Xenophoba: Not Only South Africa But Also Many Other Countries Treat Nigerians Harsely
The host of Brekete Family, a Human Rights Radio and Television programme, Ahmed Isah, popularly known as “Ordinary President,” has revealed how the world treats Nigerians differently amid the ongoing Xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
Speaking on the Brekete Family programme on Tuesday, Ordinary President also pointed out how Nigeria gave asylum to South African freedom fighters.
Recall that South Africans have killed a handful of Nigerian, Ghanaian, and other African nationals in the recent xenophobic attacks.
Reacting to the development, Ordinary President said, “See what they are doing to Nigerians in South Africa.
“Other nationals from other countries like Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Tanzania, even countries that share common boundaries with them [South Africa]. They are humiliating them.
“Let it not be like they are singling out only Nigerians; that is why they are doing it to other African countries.
“See the approach to other nationals and the approach to Nigerians; you can see the anger and bitterness. The same South Africa that we contributed money to, so that they could regain their freedom.
“South Africans were coming to Nigeria to school on scholarship, their freedom fighters who narrowly escaped will come to Nigeria, and we will give them asylum.
“But Nigerians, let me let you people know, it’s not only South Africa, but almost every country around the world is doing something to Nigerians that they can’t do to other nationals.
“If you go to Canada, go to their prison and check which nationals are more. If you go to India, go to their prison and check, and go to other countries. Nobody seems to be bothered because of the ineffective leadership we have in this country [Nigeria],” he said.
