NANS gives Shoprite, MTN, DSTV 48 hours to leave Nigeria
TheCable reports that the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has given 48 hours ultimatum to all South African companies in Nigeria to relocate over the xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.
The students issued the ultimatum at a demonstration at some South African companies in Abuja on Thursday.
During the march, the students carried a banner, which read: ‘NANS Against Xenophobic Attacks on Nigerians’.
NANS’ president, Kadiri Aruna, condemned xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.
“We are saying that enough is enough as South Africans have openly attacked and bullied Nigerians,” he said.
“All the South African business empires in Nigeria and their collaborators in Nigeria will be affected.
“I don’t want to say we will be barbaric but we will not be lawful in our actions.
“We will do it and face the consequences, enough of this rubbish.
“Nigeria contributed 80% of the freedom the South Africans are enjoying today.
“We saved them from the jaws of apartheid. “Who is South Africa to humiliate Nigeria?
“So they forget things so soon?
“Let them go back to history and records to see how much financial assistance and what the country did to save them.
“In science, they say you use malaria to cure malaria, now you use madness to cure their madness.
“That is why we are advising them to leave Nigerian soil before 48 hours.”
“Government should take extra-diplomatic measures in dealing with the latest deadly assaults because if nothing drastic is done it will become a regular occurrence.
“This is the time to place South Africa where it belongs.
“If they refuse to leave, we will ask Nigerian students all over the country to bring down all MTN masts.
He said the last time the xenophobic attack happened nothing was done, no action was taken and that is why they repeated it again.
