true that comrade...majority of south Africans don't support his ideal that's why only few voted for him in the 2014 genaral elections,ironically he is now working hand in hand with white people in parliament to oppose the ruling party ...


Lol.. Attributes of a failure.. They will result to deception and propaganda. I wish south africa the best but the black groups need to come out and make something for themselves .stop the finger pointing. Nobody is going to give free food.. I do know a number of south african blacks that are making waves

tmed1: The Nigeria back then was more structured and organized than the Nigeria we have today. Now, the government are clueless. It's a pity the British didn't teach the early leaders how to rule before leaving.

Unemployment rate....you are dreaming
poverty.....you are dreaming
HIV...you got a point but note that you country with rural areas omitted is closely behind SA


abdulwastecx:

This is dumbest comments ever.

soith Africans black population are worse than Nigeria in terms of poverty rate, HIV rate, unemployment rate etc. imagined yourself living in a country for over 200years where your dad, grand dad, great grand dad were segregated, no right to own land, cannot vot and be voted for, treated like animal and live in slum for having a darker skin for some pale looking monkeys.

Nigeria was never great under British colonialism, it was consider a colony of people of savage where raw material can be gotten and where british good can be dump.

the railway system we have at 1960 was put in place to transport stolen agricultural material from the interland of south west, Northern Nigeria and eastern Nigeria.

at 1960, Nigeria has only onr university for 55million people, less than 10% of her population have access to electricity, water supply etc.

Nigeria was a messy British colony because nothing good comes from shapeless pale skinny pig aka white

Superstar007: Samuel Ajayi crowther was a slave who later became the first ordained bishop from west africa and leader of the Aglican church. I think he also help translate the bible to yoruba

Samuel Ajayi Crowther died on 31/12/1891 and therefore can not be the Ajayi here, so who is this Ajayi?

any SA children still cry themselves to sleep
because they are hungry, Child Gauge 2012
shows, with about 60 percent living in poverty.
They live in households with a monthly income
of less than R575 a person.
And the gap between rich and poor, black and
white is growing.
The poorest 10 percent of South Africans
receive less than 1 percent of the national
income, but the richest 10 percent get 57
percent. This while 67 percent of black children
live below the poverty line compared to 2
percent of white children.
On Wednesday, the Children’s Institute at UCT
released the gauge, an annual review of the
living conditions and challenges facing SA’s
children.

Life was not peaceful then.... tell that to about 2million igbos that died during biafra war...

Plenty food my ass... so many Nigerians were poor despite having a smaller population.


I agree with the pastor stuff sha.

in summery, Nigeria has always been very poeple with plenty resources. The ao called founding fathers were bunch of clueless Nigro occupied by sentimental politics based on ethnicity and religion

They are not the only ones that are greedy.. Infact western powers can be greedy than we africans.. If they have intellectual maturity they won't do that.. Let me give you an instance Let's take a look at two men Adolf hitler and Idi amin.. They were very powerful iron fisted men .. They are known to have committed human rights abuses, political repression, ethnic persecution, extra judicial killings,nepotism, corruption and exercised a great level of control. But what was their vision a goal.. Hitler had a vision of making germans the super race and they will rule the world to a thousand years..among other visions ..this molded him to become what he became and achieve such great feat.. On the other hand we have idi amin.. That his vision was to see his people and western leaders bow to him..not economically, or by displaying military powers.. But by bowing at his feet .. fulfill his immature childhood fantasies . Driving, eating and Bleep.ing what ever he liked ..I doubt he had a plan to make ugandans the most powerful black people.. U could see his outcome.. now contrast for yourself.. In the midst of his power and influence he is intellectually inferior to his german counterparts cos he is not a deep thinker ..if he was he will be more disciplined

Africans are not intellectually to say pale skin (white) or yellow (Asians). Africans are just pre occupied with religion and ethnicity instead of building a strong national values, development oriented ideology, togetherness and national unity.


Japan was an over crowded island in the 18th century before contact with Europeans. They learn and borrow from GERMAN, Dutch and British. japan rise to become a leading industrialized and technological advanced nation. Nigeria can become a great nation, if people stop worrying about ethnicity and religion

Nigerians will never take ownership for Nigeria.
Criticism is so easy. Anybody who wants to be enslaved we dash you to the white man.
Who drops dirts on the streets of Lagos.
When last did you do sanitation( if not for ebola)
All of you waka come Lagos- putting strain on limited resources ( imagine Lagos with 5m people and lagos with 35m people and still counting)
People live in sheds use the streets as latrines and blame the government when they are prohibited from such.
Is it the government that builds collapsed building or convert one Storey to five because of greed?
How much taxes have you paid and when last did you pay ( nothing good comes cheap)
Lagos is not dirty, the people in Lagos are dirty
Nigeria is not a thief, some people are deliberately stealing and spoiling their own names. (Can you absolutely vouch for yourself)
Change your thinking.
Be responsible for Nigeria
I hail the people that have done their best through actions for Nigeria and Nigerians.

Nothing is special about south Africa.
This is country that started mining iron ore, gold, coal for more than 100years before Nigeria gain her independent.

south Africa gain her independent in 1910 when most Africans ( except for Ethiopia and Liberia) were under colonization yet can only generate 40k megawat when south Korea is generating 120k.

south Africa is a third world country a little bit better than Nigeria in infrastructure because of longer year of political stability and democracy.


since 1999 when Nigeria return to democracy. Nigeria has posed better growth outlook.

Gdp figures 1999 : Nigeria ( 70 billion)
south Africa( 250billion)

2014: Nigeria(525billion)
south Africa (320billion)

sister what are you talking about?

1. if agriculture is developed, cottage industries are developed and agro allied industries are put inplace through encouragement of private and foreign investment. when these are put in place rural to urban area migration will stop and your lagos will not be over populated. who's responsibility is it to provide the aforementioned facilities?

government put inplace law reinforcement to fight indiscipline, enforce town planning laws and force people to disposed off their refuse. it is not the function of an average Nigerians.

gov't in every country design the tax system not the individual, since Nigeria gov't are ok with eassy oil money what do u want Nigerians to do?

From these pictures, we all can see that Ibos were never part of this scam. They only showed Zik's campaign and the next is slaughtered IBO sons and daughters. Yet, they wanted to continue on their own existence but with the help of the western world, they were never allowed to be. Now, we all are dancing to British skelewu. Sorry!
