I think #EnoughIsEnough. The Nigerian Government really needs to TAKE ACTION NOW on the #XenophobicAttacks in South Africa . We helped them during Apatheid. See how they are treating us and other foreigners in their country #Xenophobia #SouthAfrica #PretoriaCBD #BBNaiija133:02 AM – Sep 3, 2019Twitter Ads info and privacy30 people are talking about this

South African Shame on you guys. If you are hungry beg or ask for food instead of introducing #XenophobicAttacks in order to loot from our vigorous citizens. You will all pay for this dearly. Hunger will never depart your homes.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-09-02/police-arrest-41-people-as-looting-spree-erupts-in-johannesburg …@Bloomberg

With these #XenophobicAttacks, I am never going to South Africa except as a diplomat
We spent billions of dollars to finance most of the leaders of the ANC in their struggle and they can’t even protect Africans in the same SA where they were mauled like dogs under apartheid?86:50 PM – Sep 2, 2019 · Lagos, NigeriaTwitter Ads info and privacySee Oke Umurhohwo’s other Tweets
