Solomon Buchi Urges Boycott of Tyla’s Nigeria Show Over Xenophobia Silence

Nigerian commentator Solomon Buchi has urged Nigerians to boycott South African singer Tyla’s planned performance in Nigeria. He said her silence during xenophobic attacks on Nigerians and other immigrants in South Africa should not be ignored. Buchi argued that the proposed concert could be used to send a message against xenophobia. He encouraged fans to support Nigerian artistes and said any protest at the event should remain peaceful. He added that his criticism was not personal, but a call for Nigerians to speak collectively against xenophobic violence.

Should artists be expected to publicly address every xenophobic incident in their country, or is this boycott mainly about the wider hurt Nigerians feel?

Do you think the concern is more about Tyla specifically, or the frustration people feel over repeated xenophobia?

The call reflects how deeply xenophobic attacks have affected Nigerians and other immigrants, especially when public figures remain silent.

Silence can be disappointing, but holding Tyla personally responsible for South Africa's xenophobia may be a difficult standard to apply consistently.

People can decide whether to attend, but the conversation should also focus on what meaningful support and accountability would actually look like.
