Nigerian rapper M.I Abaga has been dragged by Twitter users when he was giving out his opinion and addressing racism on the Twitter space #SecureTheTribe.

In the early hours of Thursday morning, Popular American social media commentators Tariq, Mel and others created a live space to talk about “How Immigration Benefit Black Americans” #securethetribe.

Tariq rudely said it never benefitted them because Africans especially Nigerians come to the US to steal their jobs, oppress them and accuse the white of racism. According to him, the only way his people can enjoy is if Africans go back to their various countries and hustle there.
