HOW JONATHAN, ZUMA CAN END XENOPHOBIA, REPRISALS AND RECURRENCE AS NIGERIANS BOYCOTT SHOPRITE, ETC

In Nigeria an elite reprisal campaign has gone viral against South African businesses. It is titled BLACK SATURDAY: A CALL FOR UNITY OF AFRICA! It is trending on social media. It says:
This is a clarion call to all Nigerians home and abroad. Let’s stand against the gruesome killings of foreigners, especially Nigerians in South Africa! Let the black locals in South African know that we are no animals. We shall decry their barbaric acts and abnormalities.
Join the black protest which started yesterday18 April 2015; do not shop at SHOPRITE, PICK N PAY, SPAR, STEERS, DEBONAIRS, HUNGRY LION, MR PRICE, WOOLWORTHS or any other South African mall! Don’t chill at RHAPSODY’S Lounge!
Don’t renew your DStv and MTN Lines!
Let’s make it a major demonstration till the message reaches Presidents Jonathan and Zuma, Zulu King, diplomatic communities and the South African government!
We SAY NO TO XENOPHOBIA! ‪#‎AfricaUnite‬
The news and images of Xenophobia are already brewing reprisals.
Nigerians are all over South Africa and xenophobic attacks have been spreading across the country since they resurfaced in Durban in the Kwazulu Natal province a few days ago.
Nigerians are just as targeted and endangered as Mozambicans, Ghanaians, Kenyans and other Africans.
Nigerians at home as well as those in the eye of the xenophobic storm in South Africa may begin much worse reprisal attacks anytime now. All it takes is for reports and photos to go viral if a Nigerian dies in the hands of a Durban or Joburg mob whose name and face people recognise, and South Africans may be turned on.
This crisis presents a unique opportunity for President Goodluck Jonathan to bow out of office with some dignity having failed to bring back the Chibok girls after 365 days.
Xenophobia is not limited to South Africa. Nigerians especially are being killed, harassed and humiliated on the streets of Malaysia.
They are indiscriminately jailed too.
