<p>Senator representing Edo North, Adams Oshiomhole, has urged the Federal Government to take sweeping economic action against South African businesses operating in Nigeria.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>This followed the recent xenophobic attacks on Nigerians in South Africa.</p><div class="5H3mdFG8" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>To this end, the former Governor of Edo State advocated for the revocation of the licenses of MTN Nigeria and DStv, especially calling on Nigerians investors to fill the void.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Raising the issue during plenary on Tuesday, Oshiomhole argued that Nigeria must move beyond diplomatic protests and adopt a policy rooted in reciprocity.</p>

<p>“I don’t want this Senate to be shedding tears, to sympathise with those who have died. We didn’t come here to share tears.”</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>“If you hit me, I’ll hit you. I think it is appropriate in diplomacy. It’s an economic struggle.</p>

<p>“This Senate should adopt a position that MTN, a South African company that is cutting away millions of dollars from Nigeria every day. That Nigeria nationalise it and withdraw its licence.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>“I call on the Federal Government to revoke DSTV, which is also a South African company that is cutting away millions of dollars,” he said.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>The lawmaker further argued that Nigerians living in South Africa were economically productive and not dependent on the host country.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>“These Nigerians who are in South Africa, they are not there on holiday. They are there to work and to earn.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>“When we hit back, the president of South Africa will go on his knees to recognise that Nigerians cannot be intimidated,” he said.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>He said continued tolerance in the face of repeated violence against Nigerians abroad sends the wrong signal.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>According to him, decisive economic retaliation would demonstrate Nigeria’s capacity to defend its citizens and interests.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Oshiomhole linked the resurgence of xenophobic violence to domestic political tensions in South Africa.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>He noted that anti-immigrant rhetoric has increasingly shaped public attitudes toward foreigners, including Nigerians.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>The intervention came as the House of Representatives condemned the latest attacks, warning that the safety of Nigerians abroad must not be compromised.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Lawmakers urged the Federal Government to step up diplomatic engagement and implement protective measures.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Also contributing, Victor Umeh described the situation as dire, saying many Nigerians in South Africa now live in constant fear and are unable to move freely.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>He called on the African Union to intervene, including the possibility of sanctions if the attacks persist.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Umeh stressed that the pattern of violence should no longer be treated as isolated incidents.</p>
