As South Africans continue their attacks on African origins in their country, many Nigerians have shown their angers through social media.

Amongst those not happy about the unbelievable xenophobic violence are the members of the Flagship, an affiliate of Edo Civil Society Organisation in Benin city.

The group in Edo State, Flagship took to the street today, just like others, to register their anger over the continuous attack on Nigerians living in South Africa on Monday.

Flagship call on Nigerians to boycott the products and services of South African companies in Nigeria.

An angry Nigerian , Rex Ubes Ik, on Monday expressed his anger on his Facebook wall. He called on Nigerians to boycott South African owned companies in Nigeria as a way of expressing anger.

He said “The killings have continued unabated. I hope everyone has been following the happenings in South Africa”Let’s have a BLACK WEEK from tomorrow Monday 20th April to Sunday, 26th April, 2015 as a demonstration against the gruesome killings of foreigners in South Africa.

“No shopping for one week from Shoprite, Pick n Pay, Spar, Steers, Debonairs, Hungry Lion, Mr Price, Woolworths, or any shop that is a south african investment. Also please do not pay for a new subscription on DSTV, GOTV or purchase any of their products. Do not recharge your MTN line, or purchase any new product from MTN. Use your alternate sim. Please South Africa must be put in their place. Lets show people power. Send this to all your contacts. Let’s make this message VIRAL!!!BLACK WEEK for South Africa products.Boycott all South African products in a bid to make the Republic of South Africa government take a stiffer action against Xenophobic attacks.

Take the pain, shop somewhere else and let it be a message to President Zuma & South Africa to do more to stop the killings. Circulate this message and take action. Join in saving a life”Let’s all help end this shameful wicked act by the south African people. We are humans not apes”

Companies like DSTV, MTN, Shoprite are likely to suffer if Nigerians chose to retaliate.

Nigerians living in South Africa had lost more than N21 million since the beginning of attack. A car sales company belonging to a Nigerian was few days ago set ablaze over night by a group of South Africans.

Many believed that the African nation took to violence after disappointment from the government who had promised heaven but making the citizens to live in hell.

But South Africans are probably reacting to the instruction given by the King of Zulu land that foreigners are parisite who had taken everything from them.

Many of the South Africans had told news networks that they are attacking African nations because they have taken their jobs. That’s, we their presence in the country, they are likely to remain unemployed.

Many people have condemned the attack on African nations meanwhile other foreigners from Asia, Europe and America are not touched.

Nigeria government is planning to evacuates Nigerians who are willing to come back home this week following the increasing attack on her citizens in a country where the Nigerian government spent millions of dollars to free from bondage.
