Ordinary poor Nigerians deserve these proceeds more. Publicity stunts don’t benefit anyone. Forget about xenophobia, It is not exclusive to South Africa, It is a world wide natural phenomenon that no one can do anything about it. Even Nigerians themselves did it to Ghanaians on a massive scale at some stage and they did not see anything wrong because they were the perpetrators. It is only wrong when it happens to them. African states has to just fix their sh.t so that everybody doesn’t have to run away to South Africa. South Africa has also has a lot of its own sh.t to take care of and needs to be given that space.
