A Nigerian man has ignited a heated online debate by calling for a boycott of South African singer Tyla's upcoming concert in Nigeria, citing ongoing xenophobic attacks against Nigerians and other Africans in South Africa. In a viral video, he emphasized that purchasing tickets would send a negative message while the issue of xenophobic violence remains unresolved. He criticized the South African government for its inadequate response to these attacks and questioned the lack of action from President Cyril Ramaphosa. The man also condemned Tyla and other South African artists for their silence on the matter, urging Nigerians to support local talents instead. He argued that Nigeria has many globally recognized female artists who can deliver similar performances, such as Tiwa Savage and Tems. Ultimately, he expressed that while international conventions prevent barring Tyla from entering Nigeria, he personally would support such a ban.
