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?

Nobody Has A Monopoly Of Violence, OPC Tells South Africa And Gives Them 48hrs Ultimatum.




The highlight of the OPC press conference today, 21 April is that OPC is giving South Africa 48 hours to stop the Xenophobic attack or face the wrath of the group. The group remind the South Africa of their vast business interest in Nigeria, they however decline to state what their wrath entails. Dr. Frederick Fasheun who spoke at the press conference is keeping all vindictive plans undisclosed until the 48 hours ultimatum expires.



Account of the Press conference according to Punch
The Odua Peoples Congress has given the South African government 48 hours to stop the xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in South Africa or face its wrath.
The founder of the OPC, Dr. Fredrick Fasehun, said this during a press conference in Lagos on Tuesday.
Fasehun reminded South Africa that it had several business interests in Nigeria.
He said, “While the Nigerian government and the rest of the world seek a diplomatic solution to this season of madness, the OPC hereby warns that South Africa must end this rash of xenophobia within 48 hours. These ill-advised attacks are capable of bringing out the beast in the best of men. And we will not watch as fellow Nigerians are wantonly killed in cold blood.
“Enough is enough. South Africans must know that nobody has a monopoly of violence. They must halt the killings, the maiming and the looting of foreigners’ shops in their country. These incidents of xenophobia will provoke reprisals against South Africans and their interests in other lands.

Dr. Frederick Fasheun

When asked to specify what exactly the OPC would do if the South African government failed to heed to its demand, Fasehun said, “South Africa has many business interests in Nigeria but of course, you do not expect me to reveal what we will do until the time is right.”
Fasehun said it was unfortunate that South Africans were hostile to Nigerians despite the fact that Nigeria spent over $60bn to tackle apartheid and oppression in the country.
While displaying photographs of foreigners who were lynched in South Africa, Fasehun said the irony was that many of those being attacked had contributed to the economic growth of South Africa.
He said, “These attacks are a mark of ingratitude against Nigeria, which is estimated to have spent over $60bn on the South Africa’s struggle to break the chains of apartheid and secure independence.”

The South African That Passionately Hates Nigerian


This is Wendy Ledwaba, she's one lady that doesn't like Nigerians and believes we are money worshippers, and that there are only hand full of good Nigerians. Nigerians are about 170 Million if only hand full are good, then Nigeria shouldn't be Federeal Republic Of Nigeria, it should be Federal Republic Of Evil-Land. Her claim isn't even technically possible, she sound like an illiterate with borrowed access to the internet.

See some of her disturbing thoughts....
