Unless if the english colonize ghana hundred years before Nig, am guessing pidgin came 2 all of us the same way!

That is however besides the point, if a ghanaian today is using the slangs like 'my OGA', 'NNA bros' or sorts you should know those words in caps originate from Nig. And that is influnce! Catch my drift?

souldust: @toskarity i think you are misinformed about issues in Nigeria. Contrary to your view, most nigerians have food to eat. You probably based your point on the idea that we all live below a dolar per day. But let me let you know that in the urban centres, fewer people live below a dollar per day and in rural areas, one dollar can buy you three sqaure meals.

If we are that poor as you have claimed, why then are consumer companies making more profit here in Naija than in any other country? Dont tell me it is our population. Becos population doesnt buy comodities. It is money we use to secure goods and services

so if companies are making more profit here in Naija, then it is becos we have more people who can afford those comodities than anywhere else on the continent.

Reading through most post...it's just funny hw u get to c hw some pple think. I think am begining to c through this thread the truth in psychological field that link pple thinking,&word to their IQ. Some pple needs to consult their dic. To learn the meaning of words,&need to av the topic explained to them..to dis set of pple I will like to tell them they shld know they re not the only one in 9ja feeling d effect of the weak naira or poor economy. With that said, with d present structure of the EUROPEAN UNION; we all know that the UNITED KINGDOM economy is larger&advancely developed than that of FRANCE,& d POUNDS commands greater value than d CFA:but with dis disparity & gap; does d UK has more influence than d FRANCH in d european union? For those that talks bout international politics they know almost to nothing bout.. D question of ibfluence has to do with ur political strength around d issues of d continent. D politics are beyond money.. Funny enough d SA is only playing d game of hype & image boosting by making sure they throw up media confrontations as this so as to package there external political outlook.. There foreign policy office,&international diplomats knows off d shutters & d flash ligths they need to come to there senses. 9ja is not just giant bcoz of our nos.. Our foreign policy is strongest in Africa..someone talked bout d bakassi issue &talked fools that if 9ja is more influential they shld not av let d region off. It shows dat person schooling- shld ur elder broda alwayz say bcoz he is ur senior,&stronger,bcoz of this each time u want to share meat with him remove 2of ur teeth to tell u hw he can influence d sharing formular?

dnt let 3 lioners owner catch u shocked

Honestly,it shows that those comment on the both side of economy and miltary influence of both country spoke well,but the writer has enlightened and made it aprehendly for everybody to contribute their different thoughts and opinions on the topic, to be candid,nigeria is more influential thanS/A in the continent,: (1),couple of months ago,nigeria army was sent to U.S. for assisting them to decimate their enemies,(2),it take some years that nigeria use to sponsor and support Ghana in term of provision for electricity for their citizens,(3)during the govt and political saga in Zambia,OBJ govt,itervened and settled the crises amicably,to mention but a few,without mince the world,Nigeira is more influenced than either S/A,or any other african countries, in terms of influential,even globally,but to some extent, on the other hand,:economically,infrastructurally,to mention but a few,S/A is more developed than Nigeria!

You must be high on tea.
Hausa language on its own has influence many minority languages in Middle Belt, Nigeria, Northern Cameroon, Niger Republic, Northern Mali, Burkina Faso etc. Same for Yoruba but not on minorities but has been able to transport its culture to Togo, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Benin etc.
Igbos do theirs through what you see in Nollywood.
Go to East Africa today, most of them refer Nigerians to as, "the Chukwus".
Even Ekoi, a minority has influenced Southern Cameroon.
NIGERIA IS JUST TOO MUCH FOR A NATION! Ask U.S.A why they want Nigeria's split.

The USA want Nigeria split because they know that is what is best for the country
