Human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju has reacted to the ongoing anti-immigrant protests and rising xenophobic sentiments in South Africa, criticising some protesters who blame foreign nationals for the country’s economic struggles.
The lawyer argued that success is not determined by nationality but by hard work, saying that achieving financial stability and owning luxury items requires effort.
He wrote: “During today’s protest in South Africa, lazy ass SA men were wailing and crying uncontrollably on TV that Nigerians and other Africans are taking their jobs, women and driving nice cars while they suffer in their own country.”
Adeyanju added that some people underestimate the effort required to achieve success.
“They think it’s easy to work hard and afford a nice car or attract women as a high value man. If it’s easy, drive a nice car in SA let’s see,” he said.
He further challenged those blaming foreigners for their struggles, adding, “If it’s easy, let South African women like you the way they like Nigerians and other Africans. If Nigerians leave your country, your women will relocate to Lagos and Abuja.”
His comments come amid growing tensions in South Africa, where anti-immigrant groups have accused foreign nationals of worsening unemployment and economic challenges.
