Super Eagles striker, Emmanuel Emenike has called for peace and unity
in South Africa, following the xenophobia attacks that overtaken the
country.
The Fernabahce striker, who started his career outside Nigeria in
South Africa where he featured for FC Cape Town and Mpumalanga Black
Aces, had urged those who were 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 was happening in South Africa is strange to
him.
“I can’t believe what is happening in South Africa,” Emenike told AfricanFootball.com
“I believe we should have moved beyond this stage in Africa. We
should always see ourselves as one irrespective of where we come from.post by expdonaloaded.blogspot.com
“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.”
Emenike further said: “While I was in South Africa, I never
experienced such a thing and it look 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.”
