Summary
Hundreds of Nigerians are being forcibly repatriated from South Africa amid rising xenophobia and violence, including a brutal attack on 52-year-old mechanic Iniebong James, who fled Nigeria a decade ago for better opportunities. Back home, he faces an even harsher reality: a collapsing Nigerian economy, soaring inflation, and dwindling job prospects.
