Let me respond to you calmly, with dignity because nginobuntu, and with the weight of truth you have clearly never been taught. You are a journalist, tweeting from the United States, yet you claim to speak for Nigeria. You call for South African leaders to speak out against "hatred," yet you remain silent on the tribalism that is tearing your own country apart, that has been tearing your country for 65 years!. Let me educate you๐ค
Nigeria is a country of over 250 ethnic groups. The three largest Hausa-Fulani, Yoruba, and Igbo have been locked in a perpetual struggle for power, resources, and influence. This tribalism is not a relic of the past. It is alive and destructive. In the North, Boko Haram and banditry have killed thousands. In the South-East, separatist movements like IPOB clash with federal forces. In the South-South, militancy over oil resources continues unabated. These are not random conflicts. They are rooted in ethnic identity, regional exclusion, and the failure of your leaders to build a united nation.
Since independence, Nigeria has been plagued by ethnic violence, military coups, and a civil war that claimed over a million lives all because your people could not agree to be one nation. And what has changed? Today, your leaders still allocate resources along ethnic lines. Your police force is accused of ethnic profiling. Your politicians campaign on regional identity rather than national unity. This is the reality you refuse to confront.
Yet here you are, tweeting from America, lecturing South Africa about "hatred." You are a journalist, but you are not honest. You are a Nigerian, but you are not brave. You ran away from your country, you sit in comfort abroad, and you demand that South Africans be better than your own people have ever been.
Let me tell you where South Africans stand. We are not perfect. We have our divisions, racial, economic, political. But we do not kill each other over tribe. We do not flee our country in droves. We stay and confront our realities and we are currently doing that, we fight, we build. And when we see our leaders fail, we protest , not run to America or other countries to tweet about others.
You want Julius Malema to speak out? He does. Every day. He speaks about land, about economic freedom, about sovereignty. But he is not responsible for your country. He does not speak for Nigerians in Nigeria. Not once have I ever heard him reprimand African leaders for their crimes against poor people in their countries in they way they lead and govern, not once has he spoken about how unconstitutional your countries are, and guess what, heโs been quiet about the children that were abducted by militant groups in your country, he has been quiet about the abuse of political and economical power by useless African leaders. Your leaders are and should be responsible for their own people. We cannot justify incompetence! And you are responsible for holding them accountable.
So sit down. Look and dive deep into Africa and you will realise we are not your enemy, you are. Stop lecturing South Africa from your American sofa. Go home. Fight your tribalism. Unite your people. Demand accountability from your leaders. Then and only then can you talk to us about hatred, about unity, about the continent.
Until then, you are not a journalist. You are a propagandist. Not a truth-teller. A coward. And we have heard enough. Now be quiet. And stay quiet.

Dear President @officialABAT@NGRSenate@Ojukwu_Bianca; what type of life is this? Are you surprised that Nigerians choose to be illegal immigrants in South Africa than to suffer in Nigeria??
Dear President @officialABAT@NGRSenate@Ojukwu_Bianca; some parts of Nigeria are so underdeveloped that it makes you wonder whether Nigeria has a functioning government!
South Africa faces renewed scrutiny over immigration tensions as reactions to anti-foreigner protests and returning Nigerians draw global attention, raising concerns about safety, investment confidence and regional diplomatic stability amid economic pressures.
Authorities are balancing domestic pressure for stricter immigration control with efforts to reassure foreign investors and maintain international confidence in South Africaโs stability and openness.
