“…Some of these companies include MTN, Eskom Nigeria, South Africa Breweries, Power Gaint, Stanbic Bank, Eskom Nigeria, Refresh product, Shoprite and Multichoice among others. South Africa is said to be on the advantageous side with regards to bilateral relations because they are less Nigerian companies operating in the country (Folarin, Ibietan & Chidozie, 2016). The implication was the attacks in Nigeria led to calls by the Nigerians for reprisal especially on South Africa's business interess in the country.…”

The renewed xenophobic attacks in South Africa on Nigerians and other Africans is an ugly trend that raises serious concern among experts and analysts of foreign relations. The latest scenario in Pretoria has resulted in the loss of innocent lives and valuable properties destroyed by some militant youths in South Africa. According to Nigeria's Foreign Affairs and Diaspora Advisor, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the country has lost about 116 nationals due to the unlawful acts of some hoodlums in South Africa. This remains a significant setback and which poses a threat to the external relations of Nigeria and South Africa. The research relies on secondary data, such as journals, books, Internet materials, newspaper and official communications between South Africa and Nigeria. The ugly trend of xenophobic attack has resulted in a cold war between Nigeria and South Africa in their socioeconomic and political relationships. However, the paper infers that adequate actions are required to be taken to restore and guarantee peace for the immigrants residing in South Africa. Failure to curb the menace of xenophobic violence in South Africa might degenerate into regional conflict which invariably will affect the relationship between both nations in all ramifications. The research contributes to existing literature on the issue of xenophobic attack and its impact on foreign relations; it also gives insight on the recent xenophobic attack which occurred in 2017 and its impact on Nigeria and South Africa relations.

“…On one level, it has been argued that as the old economic powers (G7 -US, Japan, Germany, France, Britain, Canada and Italy) encountered economic difficulties, troubled by crises and losing dominance in the world market share, the emerging market economies of Brazil, India, Russia and Chinawith their special resources, population and market advantages -grabbed the opportunity, and greatly enhanced their respective national powers. On another level, it has also been argued that the rise of BRICS stems from the growing discontentment and resentment among developing economies against the traditional international economic institutions (International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank), especially given the latter's penchant to undermine the economic institutions of the former through strangulating economic policies (Folarin, Ibietan, and Chidozie 2014). The BRICS concept was somewhat successful as an investment forecast during a time when some economies across the globe grappled with towering budget deficits, anaemic economic growth and rising unemployment.…”

Desde o surgimento dos BRICS – Brasil, Rússia, Índia, China e África do Sul – ocorreram muitas mudanças no ambiente global. Os BRICS não têm servido apenas como plataforma diplomática para seus compromissos multilaterais e negociações de seus países membros, mas também como um veículo para impulsionar as interações políticas, econômicas e socioculturais dos membros com outros países, como a Nigéria. O lançamento de Jim O’Neill do relatório dos Próximos Onze (Next Eleven) trouxe à tona as perspectivas do surgimento de outro grupo de poder ou do futuro alargamento dos BRICS. Com base na proposição anterior de que o grupo dos Próximos Onze (de onze países) estão no caminho certo para alcançar os BRICS, contanto que sustentem seus níveis de crescimento, este artigo examina a posição da Nigéria nos Próximo Onze vis-à-vis aos BRICS, com referência particular às perspectivas de seu surgimento como uma potência econômica antes e depois da pandemia de COVID-19. Conforme observado, apesar de a Nigéria possuir elementos críticos de poder que incluem geografia, tamanho da população e recursos econômicos, força militar e experiência diplomática, ainda não conseguiu aproveitá-los para alcançar prosperidade e grandeza. Conclui-se, portanto, que as perspectivas do país, incluindo o futuro de suas relações com blocos de potências emergentes globais, como os BRICS, dependem de sua superação de desafios críticos que prostraram o país antes mesmo das rupturas de sua economia provocadas pela pandemia de COVID-19.
