Emenike seeks solution to Xenophobic attacks

Super Eagles striker, Emmanuel Emenike, has called for peace and unity in South Africa, following the xenophobic attacks that have overtaken the country.
The Fernabache striker, who started his career outside Nigeria in South Africa where he featured for FC Cape Town and Mpumalanga Black Aces, has urged those who are attacking their fellow Africans to stop the killing “so that we could have one big united Africa”.
The AFCON 2013 highest goal scorer, who still has families and friends in South Africa, said African leaders have to come together for a united Africa and said what is happening in South Africa is strange to him.
“I can’t believe what is happening in South Africa. I believe we should have moved beyond this stage in Africa. We should always see ourselves as one, irrespective of where we come from.
“I am, therefore, calling for unity among other Africans. I am proud to be African, it is always a pleasure to be united as one big family, do things in common and assist ourselves rather than killing ourselves. I believe in Africa and we should be proud of ourselves.
“While I was in South Africa, I never experienced such a thing and it looks very strange to me seeing such killings and destruction of properties. This is not the time for retaliation, everybody needs to come out to save the situation and call for peace. We don’t want war in our continent. We need peace and Unity. God Bless Nigeria, God Bless South Africa and God bless Africa as a whole.”
