Wizkid also retweeted an abhorrent viral video of Bongani Mkongi, the current Deputy Minister of Police in South Africa justifying the attacks on foreigners.

Mkongi in the clip said South Africans cannot surrounder their land to foreigners because they fought for it and will not surrender it. The deputy minister of police also claimed that foreigners have dominated more than 80% of their businesses and properties adding that it is economic sabotage.

Wizkid tweeted;

“Disheartening to watch these videos from my home! You’re fighting the wrong war, fighting the wrong people. How do we walk around hating each other? Africa is one! We’re all the same people! Pls don’t loose yourself! #SayNoToXenophobia One Love.

“Pls educate yourselves, educate the kids, educate the youth! We’re all humans before anything else! “Humans” !! And most importantly “Africans”

God deliver us from Mental slavery! ? https://t.co/Oxo1bLcmcf

Still, on the xenophobic attacks, rapper Ycee lambasted South African rapper, AKA, for his infamous tweets about the Nigerian national football team defeating Bafana Bafana at the just concluded Nations Cup.

YCee via his twitter handle said “I don’t rate South African men at this point … and I’m not trying to create any form of animosity between us and them (that they don’t already feel against us) It is really sad that In 2019 Xenophobia is what we are still facing and discussing as a problem.

“There is this subtle dislike that a lot of them (If not all) feel towards Nigerians and no matter how hard they try to hide it .. it eventually jumps out – like when AKA had a full childish grown man tantrum when they lost to Nigeria in the nations cup.

“Worst part of this thing is South Africans (or any other foreign nationals) will never feel unsafe in Nigeria.

“We even treat foreigners better than we treat ourselves, which I believe needs to change. The rest of the world doesn’t respect us Cos we don’t respect ourselves…”

Our government needs to do a whole lot better and treat this matter with urgency, the same urgency we used to fight apartheid with them in the past

Bro if you refuse to see the underlying implications of what you tweeted
There’s really no need for the back and forth
As public figures we should always recognize the strength our platforms carry! I have no agenda or narrative to push
I’m just deeply hurt and that’s that! https://t.co/E0kKdA3fVt

Everyone screaming boycott this and that forgetting that these businesses here are still employment opportunities.
The solution behind this lies in diplomatic conversations! It is the governments obligation and duty to take immediate action
