Many Nigerians have been thrown into sorrow and mourning after the reports of xenophobic attacks against their kin in South Africa.
The xenophobia has led to outcry on social media as Nigerian celebs have taken to their online platforms to react to the issue.
Just recently, Nigerian star, Wizkid, condemned the violence as he expressed disappointment at the comments of some celebrities on the issue.
According to him, this is not the time to point fingers and preach hate as people are actually dying and hateful comments from celebs can lead to more death.
The singer then urged Nigerians to focus on the real problems which he named as the government, poverty and education.

Why do you think South Africans don't win awards internationally?! It's because of this, we are so divided. It's always "Team Aka/Cassper" never Team South Africa. Look at how these Nigerian artists are United in attacking Aka. You'll never see such unity in SA
Nigerians have Team Wizkid and Team Davido, but when it comes to external issues, we unite.
Having healthy competition internally aint harmful, the problem is the hate, why hate your fellow black man?

In other news, we reported that Afro-fusion star, Burna Boy, promised to attack South African rapper, AKA, for his comments on the xenophobia. Burna also dragged Nigerian star, MI, for defending AKA. The Ye crooner also explained that the alleged terrible videos he saw from the attack in SA broke his heart as he called on Nigerians to protect themselves at all times.
