Oyemkke Warns Against Calls to Stop Tyla’s Nigeria Show Over Risks to Nigerians in South Africa

An internet personality has advised Nigerians not to demand that South African singer Tyla be barred from performing in Nigeria. He said millions of Nigerians live and run businesses in South Africa, and a call to stop her show could create risks for them. The debate follows criticism of Tyla’s alleged silence during xenophobic attacks on Nigerians and other foreigners in South Africa. He argued that people who disagree with her can make their position clear by refusing to buy tickets or attend the show, rather than calling for her entry into Nigeria to be blocked.
