Between the Zulu King, Fashola and Oba of Lagos. The Xenophobic Kings of Africa

Between the Zulu King and Oba of Lagos. The Xenophobic kings of Africa. Gov Fashola deported Igbo-speaking Biafrans from Lagos, Oba Akiolu threatened to drown every Igbo-speaking Biafran in Lagos Lagoon and the Zulu King ranted against African migrants in South Africa leading to the ongoing spate of attacks across South Africa.

The Oba of Lagos, Governor Raji Fashola of Lagos State and the Zulu king of South Africa have distinguished themselves as the xenophobic kings of Africa. The ongoing xenophobic attacks across cities of South Africa have been linked to an anti immigrant call by the Zulu King, Goodwill Zwelithini.

Republic of Biafra Anthem

Land of rising sun, we love and cherish,
Beloved homeland of our brave heroes;
We must defend our lives or we shall perish,
We shall protect our hearts from all our foes;
But if the price is death for all we hold dear,
Then let us die without a shred of fear.

Hail to Biafra, consecrated nation,
O fatherland, this be our solemn pledge:
Defending thee shall be a dedication,
Spilling our blood we’ll count a privilege;
The waving standard which emboldens the free
Shall always be our flag of liberty.

We shall emerge triumphant from this ordeal,
And through the crucible unscathed we’ll pass;
When we are poised the wounds of battle to heal,
We shall remember those who died in mass;
Then shall our trumpets peal the glorious song
Of victory we scored o’er might and wrong.

Oh God, protect us from the hidden pitfall,
Guide all our movements lest we go astray;
Give us the strength to heed the humanist call:
To give and not to count the cost’ each day;
Bless those who rule to serve with resoluteness,
To make this clime a land of righteousness.
