Ex-Big Brother Africa contestant and model, Tayo Faniran, on Wednesday said that his response to the assault he got from the South African police would be to show love to fellow humans.
DAILY POST recalls that Tayo Faniran was recently assaulted by South African police officers.
Faniran said this at a news conference jointly addressed by the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) and the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) on the killing of Nigerians in southern African country.
The model said that he had already begun a movement on ”Say No to Xenophobia”.
“Xenophobia exists because of lack of proper and adequate information”, he said.
He further said that he would work tirelessly to end xenophobia through the dissemination of the right kind of information that would promote unity and love.
He observed that there were no billboards or newspaper in South Africa that discourages xenophobia.
He said that Nigerians could give South Africans a reason to love by portraying Nigeria in positive light, adding that instead of breaking the bridge between both countries, he would reconstruct it.
“Africa is my passion and the future of Africa is when we come together, because Nigerians are blessed as well as other African countries.
“If we come together to join forces, Africa will be better,” he said.
He, however, expressed appreciation to everyone who showed him support in his trying moment.
He also thanked the Chairman/CEO of NIDCOM, Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa for her motherly support since the incident with the South African Police.
