The Nollywood actress, Rukky Saanda took to her Instagram page calling out on Nigerian senator who said Nigerians should attack South African businesses in Nigeria. See the message below.
"Where do I begin? When I was going to post about this about 4 days ago, if I did I'm sure I would have written a whole paragraph as I had too many words running through my head from watching videos of attacks on innocent victims to arrogant silly South African man saying to the camera that Nigerians have to go because they take their women and their jobs... #smh looking into his lazy eyes as he spoke was single handedly the most stupid thing I'd ever heard a full grown man say, but that aside I guess this images speak for themselves... I'd say this much though as regards what I read and images being circulated on social media and few acts already being engaged by Nigerians on South African countries in Nigeria, and worst of all watching a Nigerian Senator on NTA last Night encouraging Nigerians to attack companies like MTN and MultiChoice among others is totally despicable.
Firstly 98% of people working in these companies are Nigerians so how exactly will causing harm to our very own people or building the idea help end #xenophobia? Destroying properties of our very own with the hope that Companies will bare the loss? Cos I'm quite confused. It is a critical time, we are hurt, we are furious we want them to pay but Violence is not the Solution to Violence, cos as far as I'm concerned to "Be Little", is to "Be Little" and we will never be any better than the people committing this totally sinful and shameful act if we bring ourselves to lay In the mud with them. We have to be united to fight, we have to maintain positivity, we have to stay strong and most of all be united as #ONE... Let ur Voice be heard, Africa Is One, Put An End to XENOPHOBIC acts #stand4peace&unity #violenceIsNotTheAnswer2violence".
I also disagree with the opinion that Nigerians should go ahead to attack South African companies doing business in Nigeria. Nigerians are peace-loving people. Moreover, doing that as a retaliatory measure doesn't do much to stop the crisis in South Africa. In fact, we would have only constituted nuisance within the country. I think such utterances should be discouraged and focus on contributing our quota to help South Africa stop the attacks.
