"We cannot stop the xenophobic attacks. The truth is that we are an angry nation. What is happening cannot be prevented by any Government."- Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, Minister of Defence, South Africa.
Then it was their former President, Thabo Mbeki, who said that"Nigerian criminals" were the targets of the xenophobia.I doubt they would try this if President Shehu Shagari, President Olusegun Obasanjo or President Goodluck Jonathan were still President or if General Murtala Mohammed, General Olusegun Obasanjo, General Ibrahim Babangida or General Sani Abacha were still Head of State.
It is only when the President of a nation is a coward that foreigners butcher his people and slaughter them like flies. When we fight, we fight hard and, if we must die, we die like men. We are not cowards, we are not shirkers, we are not lily-livered beggars and we are not toothless barking dogs: we are lions and we are warriors!
I put it to you that even an economically-weakened and badly divided Nigeria under a discredited and sectional ethnic bigot like Buhari will eat you for breakfast if and when it comes to a full-scale military conflict between our two countries.
