Avoid wild celebrations

HIGH COMMISSION OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA 971 FRANCIS BAARD STREET. ARC:ALMA -11083. PRETORIA

ADVISORY ON SAFE CONDUCT FOR NIGERIANS IN SOUTH AFRICA BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER 2024 AFCON MATCH BETWEEN SUPER EAGLES AND BAFANA BAFANA

The attention of the Nigeria High Commission Pretoria has been drawn to potentially inflammatory online comments made by a section of South African citizens against Nigerians living in host country, largely influenced by the 2024 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) semi-final match between the Super Eagles and the Bafana Bafana on Wednesday February 2024.

2. Most of the comments consist of veiled threats against "Nigerians cooking jollof rice" before the match, and "showing pepper to Nigerians if the Bafana Bafana lose to the Super Eagles", among others.

3. In this regard, the High Commission hereby advises the Nigerian community to be watchful of their utterances, be mindful of where they choose to watch the match especially in public places, and refrain from engaging in loud, riotous or provocative celebrations should the Super Eagles win the match.

4. Additionally, Nigerians should maintain the good conduct they are known for, and be law abiding before, during and after the match. Should any provocations arise, they should not be reciprocated but reported to the appropriate authorities.

The warning is necessary.

Football is meant to unite the world but things have fallen apart and the centre cannot hold.

South Africa and Nigeria are always at loggerheads, we're also highly obsessed with each other.

I know they don't like us due to several reasons.

I those days on Facebook, I would infiltrate their Facebook pages, argue with them and defend Nigeria throughout the day, and that was how I met all my south African friends. Funny memories

I hope our brothers and sisters living there will heed the warning Sha.

Wednesday match will end 2-0 in our favor

Nawa

But which day SA dream to beat Naija for ball?

Quite unfortunate but very necessary advisory.

A Word is Enough for the Wise.

we not do what? those team they defeat, shey dey re people no dey dere

Way to go.... But 9ja own too much

This message is apt.

They already know what may likely go awry should Nigeria eliminate SA at this stage of the tournament.

Nice proactiveness

Make dem try rubbish na, last time they did something like that their President came begging ... ShopRite on my mind

They killed many Nigerians during the xenophobia saga but on wednesday, we will kill them on the football pitch

But which day SA dream to beat Naija for ball?

Na small yansh wer wan shake dem be

I thought football unites the world? which one una come de give advisory again?

Okay

Amapiono😅😅😅


To my nigga AK the rapper (rip)

You don't need to be reminded to always respect your hosts. Even in a friendly soccer argument you need to watch your utterances.

This advisory is necessary and timely.

The bitterness of South Africans towards Nigerians is obvious, and their defeat would present an ample opportunity to vent their bitterness.

I think people that underwent long period of slavery and oppression in that hands of the whiteman often end up with some form of mental and phycological disorder.

They turned out with hyper victim mentality, lazy with barbaric behaviors.

South Africans and Black Americans have similarities in behavior.

Noted.

Nobody has monopoly of violence.

Be like SA think na dem only get the monopoly of Xenophobia abi

Nigerian's dey over do things. Good for them.

Buhari will continue to be the worst thing that happened to Nigeria, when he should have issued a powerful diplomatic statement and action, he didn't, the evil South Africans now feel they can do anything and get away with it. This is opportunity for Nigeria to own MTN, Multichoice and all south African companies doing business in Nigeria if their people don't desist from their evil plans for Nigerians.

The rivalry no be here ...

They should pack their bags. If Nigeria wins, then another wahala go start cos those hostel jobless guys being paid monthly by government will come after any Nigerian in their domain.

.

E teach SA turn Dem turn am to xenophobia

If not for our stupid leaders and equally extremely stupid ers, would this be necessary?

Rogue nation

An overreaction and insult to SA, as if anything and everything triggers us to violence 😡

The same Nigeria won Afcon in SA a few years back and there were no incidents.

This high commissioner should be demarched 🇳🇬👎🏾
