Following the recent attacks on Nigerians in South Africa by South African citizens, Africans have taken to twitter to criticize the despicable act, and have called for peace among Africans.

South Africans attacking immigrants think they are being clever. But they should ask those of us who have had independence since the 1960s for our experience on how politicians manipulate their people into attacking 'enemies' when they have nothing else to offer.

#Xenophobia
I remember back in 2014 or there about when #Xenophobia trended on @Twitter and sadly in 2019, it's trending again.

Imagine being an African ( Nigerian ) and still scared living in Africa because blacks hate blacks. #Xenophobia

However you look at it, South Africa has been a huge disappointment. This crass #Xenophobia makes a mockery of blacks fighting against racism&all forms of segregation all over the world. If Africans cant accommodate Africans in Africa, why should anyone else accommodate Africans? pic.twitter.com/AjwyD5td6A

This is really not #Xenophobia it is more of an illiterate, hopeless and impoverished community who think everyone else is the cause of their misery other than themselves or their own. Wake up South Africa ! You cannot get to the top by bringing others down.#Xenophobia pic.twitter.com/glKmLSz82D

From 1960 to 1995 Nigeria donated over 61 million dollars to South Africa to fight apartheid.

#Xenophobia is trending in Nigeria, and the subject is the attitude of South Africans towards Nigerians, Zimbabweans and other Africans resident in South Africa.

The African Free Trade Zone has a long way to go. The "Davos Crowd" tends to ignore these critical issues.
This #Xenophobia attack on Nigerians in South Africa is saddening. Our brothers and sisters do not deserve this no matter what.

South Africans should realize that Nigerians in South Africa are their brothers. Most appalling is the fact that South African police supports these Criminals.
