Should Nigerian Artists Stop Shooting Videos in South Africa in Response to Xenophobic attacks?


Notjustok.com is conducting a poll asking whether Nigerian artists should stop shooting music videos in South Africa in response to Xenophobia attack. In support of their poll, they added a few points that I think might make  sense but can it really ignite a boycott.  I don't know if its safe to say some Nigerian artists are not very patriotic or politically aware to make these decisions.


Notjustok's point.
I know that not all South Africans have Xenophobia, but do you think Nigerian Artists, who earn a big chunk of their income in Nigeria, should continue to fly to South Africa to shoot their videos or just shoot 100% of their videos here in Nigeria?


Some very good videos shot, directed and edited in South Africa for TOP Nigerian Artists who paid top dollar from their hard earned money. That is, money earned in Nigeria and pumped into the South African economy. Most of these videos were shot by our good friend God Father, a South African native an Igbo man from Nigeria and resident of South Africa, who hired a South African technical crew along with South African characters that featured in the videos.

What do you think, do you think Nigerian artists should boycott South Africa for their Music Video Businesses.
