South Africans Are Ignorant Of Historic Role Of Nigeria- Shehu Sani

Former Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and human rights activist, Shehu Sani has described the recent attacks on President Cyril Ramaphosa by some South Africans because of his approval of visa relaxation for Nigerians as unfortunate.

Shehu Sani who expressed his displeasure over the incident on Sunday noted that South Africans are ignorant of the historic role of Nigeria in their struggle for liberation and they are also ignorant of the multi billion dollar South Africa investments in Nigeria.

Cyril Ramaphosa was over the week under fire when many of South Africans were kicking over the recent decision of their President to relax visa rules for Nigerian businessmen and tourists.

Some were even asking Ramaphosa to resign for selling the country to Nigeria on the strength of a part of the deal that allows that category of Nigerians to apply for a visa with only a copy of their passport during visa application processes and the original document submitted later.

They took to social media complaining about how Nigerians were flooding the country allegedly with the intention of destroying it.

According to Senator Sani, “Though I noticed that most of those not happy with Nigerians are the South African men and not the other gender who have proven to be the real Pan Africanists”.

“They are ignorant of the historic role of Nigeria in their struggle for liberation and they are also ignorant of the multi billion dollar SA investments in Nigeria”, Sani said.
