Xenophobia in South Africa leaves a question mark (1) Xenophobia Nigerians
We are all aware of former USA First Lady Michelle Obama‘s famous phrase — “When they go low, we go high” — because it has become something of a slogan for exercising restraint in the face of frustration. Owing to the aptness of the statement which was first uttered by the former First Lady in 2016, it quickly caught on and started trending globally.
But before delving into the probable causes of the ignoble crime against humanity by the irascible and rabid South African blood hounds, it is important to put into context the Michelle Obama slogan. Perhaps, moved by the sight of the grisly and hideous videos of fellow Nigerians being practically roasted on the streets of South African cities, it was human for emotions to run high amongst Nigerians and for reprisals to commence against South African businesses in Nigeria.
One of the ugly fallout of the xenophobia in South Africa which triggered the spontaneous counterviolence in Nigeria that saw a couple of Shoprite outlets being looted by angry Nigerians, according to the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is that over 5,000 jobs had been lost in Lagos alone.
