Sir,


With tears in our eyes, we the Nigerian youths under the umbrella of Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative for the Youths CSRIY express our utmost displeasure and disappointment over the incessant carnage and killings of our people in South Africa. South Africa as a country through this show of ingratitude to a nation that played a vital role in your emancipation from the shackles of apartheid, displayed a spirit that is anti-AFRICAN. The killings of Nigerians in South African is a national insult, spite on the face of Nigeria as a
 country and Nigerians in general.

In South African land, Nigerians fall prey to South African police, South African citizens and all of them go scot free. Every Tom, Dick and Harry clamp down on Nigerians with reckless abandon and claim monopoly of violence.

A message to South African Youths: No youths of any nation can claim monopoly of violence or make any significant progress by attacking fellow African brothers. In as much ad we respect you so much, we detest this aspect of your lazy, unproductive attacks on well meaning foreigners. It is rude, lack of civility and an attack of the spirit of your forebears that understand the implications of a nation standing for you when your land is under threat.

 Physically, you recognize the high spirit and agility level of Nigerian youths, but we employ our energy in hardworking and productive living. It takes us nothing to bring down all business and enterprise belonging to South African Nationals  but we refused to tow that evil part knowing fully well that no country can stand or exist in isolation.

On this noble understanding, we the entire Nigerian youths give peace a second and last chance in making the following demands to both the South African government, South African youths, killing Nigerians, vandalizing their businesses and all other stakeholders especially South African business owners in Nigeria:
A public apology in all print and electronic media both in Nigeria and South Africa for the valuable lives of Nigerians killed in South Africa.

A practical and positive approach to redress this ugly situation, arrest the culprits and bring them to justice publicly to serve as a deterrent to others.

To call for a round table discussions of the Youths bodies of our country Nigeria to suggest a way out of this national assault of a peaceful and friendly nation.

The above humble demands should be met before the expiration of seven days or we would throw civility to the wind and defend our brothers to the best we can.

It is quite unfair for us to fold our hands and watch our people being slaughtered daily in cold blood.

Nigerian Youths are angry!

Hope to meet again in peace and not in pieces!

Joel Eze
For and on behalf of over 100 million Nigerian youths of the federation.
