Hello there,

I would like to briefly comment on this article by the Leadership of Nigeria. I am a South African and I would like to piont out first, that Chief Anyaouku is indeed a statesman who did the right thing by receiving his Merit by our acting president T. Mbeki.Can you imagine someone sane refusing to receive such when a Nelson Mandela preword a recognition? The xenophobic views and actions in South Africa are sadly not limited to Nigerians, but Zimbabweans or fellow brothers and sisters from Mozambique could tell you the same story.This does not excuse or better the fact, but they broaden the view. Our history and media are still vivid in terms of low education level, discrimination, race and sex. Our souls are still burning from the pain of the past and one mighty Mandela might not be enough to heal fast. On top of that I will like to name the facts that the law enforcement in South Africa, first goes against ordinary fellow South Africans. Most abuses are against them, not foreigners, not Nigerians as the prime target. Many times I have witness this outside foreign typical residents. So my brother from Nigeria, South Africans love you and respect you, just like you love your Ghanaians brothers who once told me,that they don´t like Nigerians because they think they are better and treat them very bad when they are in Nigeria.Lets count on what unites us and fight together the enemies of a united Africa:thanks!
