xenophobia, Nigerians and the Boycott

The said xenophobic attack in South Africa is the new issue on the media both foreign and local (depends on where you are reading from) and every other country who have been affected by this barbaric action especially Nigeria is planning a boycott of South African firms in the country at least no plans of killing South Africans yet just a boycott on some major firms that decides the lives of most Nigerians most especially Telecomms Giant Multilinks owners of MTN and Multi Choice owners of DSTV and GoTV.

Its not much of a good idea considering the fact that MTN no matter how much we've complained about their service is almost everyone's 1st choice network... Think of it, you get a new phone and you buy an MTN sim and you start distributing your number to everyone that comes your way like relations, business associates, friends both close and distant, then all of a sudden you are going to get a new sim card probably Globacom because you just realized its time to be proudly Nigerian.. Then you have to start all over again distributing your new contact number to people and start calling everyone to tell them about the new development (that is if they haven't done what you did too)... Well the choice is yours and almost all the best entertainment and news channel is on DSTV... How can most women cope without African Magic and Telemundo even our own very NTA no matter how boring it is, is also on DSTV..

I know it is hurtful and we all condemn the act but we should also understand that two Animals can never make a man.. Boycotting these firms can not stop the killings but may fuel more hate and death.. There is always a way out.. We need them as much as they need us or we should develop us better a good media and then we can really talk about boycotting but for now I have to post this with my MTN data subscription still on and some people just paid for their DSTV and GoTV subscription with the latest NGN 300 added on top of it.. Please after we are sure our money has been fully used then we all can boycott and make use of our own..
