Our Ambassador, H.E. Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, @realFFK was treated with contempt and disdain and by extension so was Nigeria. H.E. President Cyril Ramaphosa, who we have the utmost respect for, did the right thing by intervening. We got the result we wanted. End of story.

The SABC is a public broadcaster. The President carries no legal or political mandate to interfere with its operations or intervene in it's editorial processes. Frankly, your approach in this regard on a minor operational issue which you misunderstood was grossly inappropriate.

Honestly, I've never cared about how our ambassadors fared in their places of assignment.
But I believe with @realFFK’s outing in South Africa, there is a new page towards our image and place in the global community.

"No matter what anybody says, Nigeria remains the big brother of all African nations"- @realffk.

Speech during the inaugural Nigerian Fair, Nigerian Consulate, Johannesburg, South Africa, 7th November 2026.

[Femi Fani-Kayode @realFFK]

I was honored to be invited as the Special Guest of Honor at the inaugural Nigerian community fair which held at the Nigerian Consulate in Johannesburg yesterday afternoon.

I commend the efforts of Ambassador Nini Okey-Uche, Nigeria's Consul-General in South Africa, and all those that collaborated with her to make this such a great event.

May the Nigerian community in South Africa continue to go from strength to strength.
