If you have been very much stable on social media for a couple of hours ago, you would have known that South Africans have been attacking Nigerians in SA.
The Xenophobia attacks keep getting real day by day! Africans killing each other, celebrities going hard on each other.
While some celebrities have been tweeting with coward senses, African Giant, Burna Boy blows hot on the attack on his people.
You all will notice that he’s trying to follow Fela Kuti‘s steps by putting in efforts to be the voice of his people.
The Nigerian act, who has been away from social media has returned to share his thoughts on the trending issue.
In a series of tweets he shared, he’s got a mad response for Rapper AKA after talking dirty about Nigeria on social media.
He even tried to mention “M.I Abaga”, telling him not to support the South African rapper, else he would lose his respect he has for him.
Ok. I have been away from social media personally until today. Ordinarily at a time like this, I should come here and say something to try and calm the situation because my Dream has always been to Unite AFRICA and make us realise that Together we will Literally rule the world…

This goes against everything I stand 4, but at what point do we take action? I understand that years of Oppression has confused South Africans to the point where they see the pple who came to their defence during their Oppression as their Enemies and then worship their oppressors

Lemme also say that there are some South Africans who are Amazing, Progressive AFRICAN people and I will forever Love them like I Love myself. But they are not many at all.
