MALEMA ASKED NIGERIAN TO AGITATE FOR ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE

Nigerians must take over the ownership of the means of production of their economy and not allow foreign multinationals to enjoy all the benefits, South Africa’s radical activist, Julius Malema, said on Monday, as he visits Nigeria for the first time.

He  said Nigerian leaders and youths must agitate for economic independence and not allow the “imperialist forces” to plough all their mineral resources and leave them in squalor.

He urged Nigerian leaders to create economic programmes that will create jobs and they should involve the youths.

“Instead of fighting for jobs, let’s fight for opportunities,” Malema said .

He went further to say that Nigeria and South Africa must cooperate economically and build friendship to move Africa forward.

“We need to work together on issues of common interest, we need to be partners not only in growing the Nigerian-South African economies, but in building friendship,” he said.

Malema said “Nigerians in South Africa are enjoying themselves. They are very influential. They relate confidently in the society and even when there were some xenophobic attacks in South Africa, Nigerians were not casualty of such xenophobic attacks,”
