Rossikk: Not one single point you mentioned here has anything to do with the op's question.

shaun1:

Hi disagree with you, i am a nigerian living in south africa. i have never seen the level of hunger i see in south africa in nigeria. i usually see the less privileged here eating from the dust-bin.
also, if you must know, SA has the one of the worst gap between the rich and poor, thats why there is high crime rate.

Koolking: Forget all these sensational journalisms about South Africa, Nigeria is more influential than South Africa. Nigeria is very strategic in economic and political life in Africa and the world. Human Development Index ranking of African countries justifies Nigeria influence in Africa. This is not an issue to be debated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African_countries_by_Human_Development_Index

naptu2: Even nairaland acts as a tool with which Nigeria's influence in Africa increases. During Big Brother I heard Meryl (from Namibia) tell Lerato (from South Africa) about nairaland (the site where she goes to get the latest info about music, etc).

MEILYN:
thought dey said SOUTH AFRICANS re more Educated? y is dis1 different? U talk like a Kenyan

mondi_cheeks: they have a better education system and that's true, and if u associate yourself with South Africans that are actually educated ( not the school drops some Nigerians guy pick up in taverns to marry) you will know that it's true. I associate myself with other law, medical, political science students and yes I can agree that they are more educated. I also go for discussions with South African social rights activists like Desmond Tutu, human rights activists like Jay Naidoo and I can safely agree that there is quite a good number that are well educated

pekelepekele: THE ANSWER IS AS SIMPLE AS ABC . lets ask ourselves these two questions . First how many South Africans are relocating to Nigeria daily and How many Nigerians are struggling to relocate to SA on a daily basis.

Secondly how many Nigerians are proud enough to call themselves a Nigerian home and abroad and How many South africans will deny being a South african anywhere they go?

mondi_cheeks: if u were clever enough to look at the post I quoted you would know why I gave that response

naptu2: I'll give another example. In fact, I'll give two.

1) Tina Turner was one of the most influential women in the world in te 1980s, not because she was the best singer or anything like that, but because of the sheer number of women who wanted to have the "Tina Turner" hairdo. She influenced the way they made their hair.

2) Goodluck Jonathan could be said to be the most powerful Nigerian in Africa (courtesy of the sheer number of armed men he commands and his ability to enforce his will), but it could also be argued that Enoch Adeboye is as influential or more influential than him, because of the sheer number of Africans that are ready to do what Adeboye says.
