According to him, it is rather impossible for Nigerians living in South Africa to expect equal treatment or fight for equal rights in a country that isn't theirs.

Although he admitted that the killings were wrong, he stated that South Africa belongs to South Africans and there are just too many Nigerians living in the country.

He advised that rather that remain in the country fighting for their rights to live there, they should all move back home and channel that energy towards making Nigeria a better place.

The man also stated that Nigerians doing illegal businesses in the country are part of the reasons for the killings as they often live flamboyant lifestyles and in unapologetic ways that in a way, angers South Africans.
