The Digest:
A Nigerian woman living in South Africa has raised concerns over the treatment of Nigerians, calling on the Nigerian government to intervene. In a video message, she alleged that Nigerians face repeated harassment and attacks, with little or no support from officials. She criticised the Nigerian consulate for remaining silent despite the situation. She also shared personal experiences of her South African-born children being bullied and told to "go back to their country."
Key Points:
- She questioned the reality of returning to Nigeria due to economic hardship and poor living conditions.
- She urged the government to engage South African authorities.
- The issue has gone beyond documentation, with some Nigerians allegedly being told to leave entirely.
- Her children born in South Africa have been targeted with xenophobic bullying.
- She stressed that if Nigerians must leave, it should not happen under unsafe conditions.
The woman's plea highlights growing desperation among Nigerians facing xenophobia in South Africa.
