Air Peace airline commendably offered to and actually evacuated distressed and fearful Nigerians back to Nigeria.
Stories and pictures of cornered and anxious and brutalised Nigerians had received wide circulation, making the Air Peace offer to be both meaningful and timely. What surprised many Nigerians is that their government, which possessed the means to organise such an evacuation, merely sat on its hands and procrastinated. Other than feebly whine about the killing of Nigerians in South Africa and threaten diplomatic retaliation, the Nigerian government left the initiative to Air Peace.
Nigerians must by now be used to their government failing to defend them when the need arises. No amount of criticism will make the government behave otherwise, for in the past few years they have embraced the negative and extenuating narrative that suggests that some Nigerians living abroad are crooks.
