Watch this video as Firstpost explains how Nigerias Tinubu reportedly snubbed South Africa amid the xenophobia row. Diplomatic tensions across West and Southern Africa reached a boiling point as Nigerian President Bola Tinubu reportedly declined to meet with South Africas special envoy, Ronald Lamola. Sent by President Cyril Ramaphosa to repair ties, the delegation was instead redirected to Nigeria's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Sola Enikanolaiye. The symbolic snub underscores growing anger in Abuja and Accra over deadly anti-immigrant violence targeting African migrants in South Africa. While Pretoria insists the unrest is not state-sponsored and is driven by local economic frustration, both Nigeria and Ghana are demanding immediate police action, arrests, and accountability. Ghana has already halted a planned state visit by Ramaphosa and joined Nigeria us navy forward-deployed supercarrier in calling for intervention from the African Union. As nations begin evacuating their citizens, Ramaphosa maintains that continental leaders must tackle the root causes of economic hardship and poverty driving illegal migration. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
