[This Day] Abuja -- Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, has lamented the worsening condition of Nigerians abroad, revealing that many citizens facing xenophobic attacks in South Africa would rather remain there than return home.
Peter Obi's stark admission that Nigerians endure xenophobic violence rather than return home exposes the continental paradox of Africa's supposed economic powerhouse failing its diaspora. When citizens choose discrimination over repatriation, it signals not just Nigeria's governance crisis but South Africa's dangerous monopolization of continental opportunity — a dynamic that undermines the very Pan-African solidarity both nations claim to champion. This isn't migration; it's economic exile within our own continent.
