Nigerians rise against attacks on compatriots
, such as twitter, facebook and Instagram, were literally shut down by celebrities and everyday Nigerians condemning the arsons in South Africa.From Senate President Ahmad Lawan to Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila, the verdict was clear: enough is enough.
“More disturbing, however, is that these attacks indicate the neglect of educating the younger generations on the sacrifices that Africans proudly made towards expunging the scourges of colonialism and apartheid from their continent. “It is, therefore, an unacceptable irony that a section of South Africans would so soon after now, choose other Africans in their country as the targets of mindless violent attacks over frustrations for which the innocent victims have no control.”
Umeoji, who represents Aguata Federal Constituency of Anambra on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance , spoke in Abuja on Tuesday.
