Billyonaire: The Minister must be made to Apologize to Nigeria and Nigerians for such statement. all that oil and a majority of the people lives on less then one dollar a day and have the over 160 million people does not help the problem and you damn sure don't have the biggest military, it will be embarrassing to have the biggest military and can't handle a few Islamist and religious riots. it seems when Nigerians are comparing themselves to other nations you say "Nigeria" but if not it's Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba etc |

sambos994: That is why i have always said that there are some post that are not right for a Yoruba people to man.imagine this minister exposing his yoruba inferiory complex internationally.Can u imagine??An Hausa man will not even try said such a cowardly statement. Bigbrother cor Brotherbigs ni. That is how the same yoruba lady was used on an advert to promote South African tourism drive on DSTV saying that South Afica is truly the Giant of Africa.It high time this people started hiding their cowardly and inferior atitude.How there he say south african are my bigbrother,does he even know the meaning of that statement? |

The minister is unministerial! What happened to just brother? Why did he have to add 'big'? The minister is suffering from inferiority complex and is out of his dept! manchy7531: When did Ortom become a Yoruba name? Not that Minister's tribe matter but going by your logic, Yoruba are now indigenous to Benue state. Manchy is an insane Igbo man, hallucinating about Yoruba and trying to turn this thread into a Yoruba versus igbo thread. |

manchy7531: You have to admit theyre country is levels ahead of our country in every way, in democracy and infastructure and business and corruption and almost every other thing you can think of, infact their pretty much ahead of every country in africa so i dont know why nigerians are trying to be so proud to have the title of the giant of africa when he have done nothing to deserve that title, we are the most populous country in africa but we are not the giants of africa, we could be if we had some leaders who care about our country more than there pockets |

The result of MTN "Ultimate Wonder". When a foreign company is fooling Nigerians and no agency in Nigeria is working to stop it, the country comes and say "See as we dey dash these lazy Nigerians aeroplanes". |

manchy7531: This is very interesting. I didn't imagine what lenghts some pple will go just to be tribalistic. Any right thinking Nigerian knows that name isn't Yoruba but you would rather employ any means to foster hate and bias than google the guy's name to know from where exactly he hails. And don't forget, people wit the most chronic sort of inferiority complex are the ones always attacking, they'll through all their lives make use of every avenue to claim the superiority they will never have, they're confrontational, aggressive ...I hope you know where that puts you. |
Re: South Africa Is Nigeria's Big Brother - Minister by kjhova(m): 9:22am On Sep 02, 2012 |
I don't know if the Minister should be saying such or not. But what he said is not far from truth! Take this comparison listed below: GDP: S/A is a member nation of BRICS while Nigeria is nowhere near that standard yet. Energy: S/A generates 50,000MW of electricity while Nigeria's 4,500MW! Fuels: S/A exports refined pet. products while Nigeria imports refined products. Forces: S/A armed forces basic equipment (guns, ammo, boats, helicopters, tanks, electronic gadgets) are produced locally by Armscor while Nigerian army still use AK-47. Manufacturing: S/A's industrial output is rated by CIA.org as almost twice d entire African continent including Nigeria. Investment: J'burg Stock Exchange (JSE) is more capitalized than the rest of subsaharan Africa combined. Banking: S/A's top two banks; Standard & 1st Rand are bigger than the entire Nigerian banking industry in terms of capital base, reach, turnover & profits. Our StanbicIBTC is owned by Standard. Brand presence: across Africa, S/A brands have impressive presence (dstv multichoice, shoprite, telcom, eskom, vodacom, mtn, stanbic, protea, kickoff etc). Same cannot be said of so many Nigerian brands. Thou kudos to Dangote, 1st Bank & few that are trying. Sadly, it's tough without the backing of a strong government. This stats above tell me who is big brother to who. Besides Nigerians chase S/A visa about & I don't see any S/African pushing for a Nigerian visa. 1 Like |

Kenyanstar: I am sorry to break your heart guys. South africa is BIG in every way. Be it big brother, big economy, big investment, big money, big infrastructure and even big yansh lol. Anyway truth be told Nigeria is trailing in every aspect of social, economic and political class except, well, giving birth. The big uncontrolled birth rate aside, Nigeria hasnt moved beyond her borders to establish any big economical invesment outside Nigeria. Compare this to Kenya's superior international offshore investments. Among this investments are:-Dude,spot on.Guys, u need to pay at least 2 weeks visit.You go wan sponsor coup for naija.what ignited my anger more,is the fact many of naijas corrupt government officials get PROPERTIES in SA in choice areas. We should pipe low and allow d dis-honorable minister romance those money bags.At least he dey get e own cut (kickbacks). As per SA big pass us....even for yansh....my blood pressure almost seize within my first week here from OR Tambo airport. Haaaaa, dem big pass our own true true.

DICKtator: Dumb f.uck. Whatever happened to our pride as a nation?Like Nigerians do not have investment in S.A.!!! Even though it is the obvious truth, should we be condescending to attract more investors from S.A?proverbial Esau selling "birthright" to Jacob. My brother thank you for yóur thought o. At least we still have people like you who are far better than the eediots that call themselves leaders. You should not say certain things publicly even if its what you believe. There is really no national pride anymore? All these fucktards like Sagamite likes to refer to them |

So that is the reason why we should throw our national pride away right? That the whole world is now looking in the direction of investing in Nigeria on its own says a lot about your country. It should put us on the advantage, but with statements like that from the idiotic Mininster, you have just given those asz more reasons to extort Nigeria. Already DSTV just insanely increased their subscription fee. They come here to do things they don't do to other nations becos you have accepted to be 'enslaved' by them in your own country. And the only thing your reasoning tells you is that some of the people complaining have not stepped out of the nation. I shook my head in disbelieve. |

kj_hova: I don't know if the Minister should be saying such or not. But what he said is not far from truth! This particular fact is quite shocking, considering that Nigeria's population is over 170M compared to SA's 50M. And South Africa is already struggling with sufficient power supply to everyone... how does Nigeria survive? 1 Like |
Re: South Africa Is Nigeria's Big Brother - Minister by TonySpike: 1:34pm On Sep 03, 2012 |
SAGirl:The question isn't, "how does Nigeria survive?" But "why have Nigerians tolerated this mediocrity for long". The city of Johannesburg alone consumes 2,500 MW, while, Durban consumes 1,500 MW. The consumption of these two cities is almost equal to what Nigeria produces for her citizens. Isn't it a big shame to the 'acclaimed' giant of Africa? |
