Nigeria’s Silence in the Face of South African Abuses

“First they came for the socialists… Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.” This warning reminds us that silence on injustice spares no one. Nigerians endured brutal persecution in Libya. We stood by in sorrow but raised no strong voice. At home, leaders abandon their duty to protect lives and property. In South Africa, xenophobic attacks continue against Nigerians and other foreigners. Yet many of us defend or excuse these actions. This hypocrisy must stop. Only by speaking the truth can we be free. May God shield all innocent Nigerians and others facing these abuses.
