Nigerian government dissipate energy on investigation of xenophobia surge and the killing of Nigerians and other African nationals in South Africa, but Tanzania and Botswana took strong actions against South Africa without delay for the hostilities against their citizens.

The House of Representatives, resuming legislative duties after Open Week, resolved to investigate the extent to which the South African government may have contributed to or been complicit in recurring xenophobic attacks against Nigerians.

Meanwhile, the President of Tanzanian, Samia Suluhu Hassan, without delay, declared a 48-hour ultimatum for South African citizens to leave Tanzania; She ordered immediate suspension of all air and commercial activities with South Africa.

President Suluhu Hassan chided South Africa, for having "forgotten the support received during the struggle for independence." She scolded South Africa, decrying "the humiliation of our children in a country that welcomed exiles who fought against apartheid."

Also, the President of Botswana, Duma Boko, declared a state of emergency, with drastic actions against South Africa.
The President ordered immediate cutoff of electricity supply to several South African provinces. Botswana and South Africa have close border link on the north west region, near Pretoria.

The Botswana President also directed immediate closure of its borders, ordering the return of all citizens from South Africa.

President Duma Boko declared, “We helped you fight oppression, and today our children are being humiliated.”

The anti-immigrant protesters stormed Durban, Pretoria and Johannesburg, harassing and, in certain instances, killed foreigners.

Senator Adams Oshiomhole, representing Edo North, had advocated drastic actions and retaliate against South African businesses operating in Nigeria.

According to Oshiomhole, “I am not going to shed tears. If you hit me, I hit you. I think it is appropriate in diplomacy. It is an economic struggle.

"While some South Africans accuse Nigerians of taking their jobs, Nigerians should return home and take over employment opportunities created by major South African companies operating in the country, including MTN, DSTV, Stanbic Bank, among others.

“When we hit back, the President of South Africa will not only talk but will also go on his knees to recognise that Nigeria cannot be intimidated.

“We will not condone any life being lost. If a crime has been committed under South African law, they have the right to bring any such person to justice, but to kill our people as if we are helpless, we will not allow that.”

Oshiomhole's counter-action prescription was turned down.
