The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, have given all South African countries operating in Nigeria a 24 hours ultimatum to leave the country. This is in reaction to the xenophobic attacks meted out on Nigerians in South Africa.
NANS staged a peaceful protest on Thursday at some South African companies located in Abuja where they made their displeasure known and revealed that they will no longer be silent while Nigerians are attacked in South Africa whereas South African companies like MTN, DSTV and Shoprite are allowed to operate freely in Nigeria.
Speaking on behalf of the students, the president of NANS, Kadiri Aruna, said South African companies in Nigeria had only 48 hours to leave Nigerian soil, else Nigerian students will retaliate by pulling down all MTN masts in the country in the country. DSTV and Shoprite were also not left out in the threats.
Aruna said:
“I don’t want to say we will be barbaric but we will not be lawful in our actions, we will do it and face the consequences, enough of this rubbish.’’
Aruna went further to reminisce on how Nigeria was instrumental in freeing South Africans from apartheid and Nigeria contributed 80 per cent of the freedom the South Africans are enjoying today because we saved them from the jaws of apartheid and have over the years supported South Africa financially. He said it was time to take action and called on the Federal Government to step up and work towards evacuating Nigerians in South Africa. He also suggestion cutting diplomatic ties with the South Africans due to the silence of their government in the face of the attacks.
"The government of South Africa is criminally quiet and they say silence is consent, and their police are folding their hands while they are killing Nigerians, this is conspiracy, enough is enough,’’ he said.

i am in fully support
That all.they are just lazy
abooa@kumi what do u know. south Africa is not a country to visit or stay. i stayed south Africa for 6 yr b4 moving to the states. i wish they go back to their slavery..
I agree with you completely , this rubbish, ***barred word*** and animalistic behavior must end somewhere . ENOUGH IS ENOUGH . Hahaaha . NUGS , Where are you ? your counterparts across Africa are expreessing their views on a very critical issue that has to do with human diginity and life yet you are silence . It it were some ***barred word*** issue or policy by government , you would have being shouting all over the place . You the future leaders of Africa so issues of this nature should be of paramount concern to you . Year after year , South Africans have continued to vent their anger and frustrartion on innocent fellow black Africans who have committed no crime by killing them . It is disgutsting to know that a fellow African can treat a fellow African this way . I think we should condemn this babaric and senseless behaviour that has become an annual ritual in South Africa . All South Africans should leave all other African countries as well . Enough of this ***barred word*** . I really want to hear a communique from AU on this issue asap .
Student unions in Ghana are a waste of space. I am not saying this because i want them to organize students against S. Africans living in Ghana, no. These bodies are known for mere speeches and dues collection. Even if Nigerians do nothing at all, they have raised a concern and I dont think it is wrong. South Africa is such a disgrace. "The only difference between the blackman and the whiteman is that BOTH of them HATE the BLACKMAN".
Has any one of been South Africa???? I am begging all of u to go and see it yourself how Nigerians are destroying a beautiful country like south Africa... Pls don't comment if u haven't been to South Africa.. Nigerians deserves what they going through...
Ghana have to joint Nigeria in killing and sacking all SA nationals in Gh and niger. No time wasting on this, the time is now!!!
