Another example of your lack of smarts, slums are what you have in Nigeria. We have townships with streets, street names, houses with house numbers, libraries, parks etc. Our addresses are 10 Street Name, Suburb, City, Post Code not Stupid Evarn, opposite gas station, Lagos (lol and in Nigeria that is a typical business' address) LoL
Ps we don't have Boko haram in SA stupid

Hun, please google map Soweto. It is x100 better than Lagos. It has tarred streets, wide, uncluttered roads, there are colleges, parks, libraries, robots etc. The houses are beautiful with manicured gardens. You can only dream of living in Soweto. In actual fact Soweto hosts a number of annual events such as the Soweto Wine Festival now which slum would host a wine fest? There's quad biking, bungee jumping, tshisa nyamas, Soweto is vibing my baby. The slums you talk of are where your fellow Nigerians live. You'll find 20 Nigerians living in one room.

- First you state the G20 is useless BUT you wish Nigeria was part of it.

- Second you fail to explain to me why the G20 was useless, so I will take it its useless because Nigeria is sidelined...... as usual.

- Again you fail to point out which G20 economy was lesser than of Pakistan and Egypt.

Your ignorance is persistent
i think you're the clown here.

Take a look:
All 19 member nations are
among the top 34 economies as measured in
GDP at nominal prices in a list published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for 2014.[41] Not represented by
membership in the G-20 are Switzerland (ranked 20th by the IMF), Nigeria (21), Norway (26), Taiwan (27), the United Arab Emirates (29), Iran (30), Colombia (31), and Thailand (32), even though they rank higher
than some members. Spain (14), the Netherlands (16), Sweden (22), Poland (23), Belgium (25), Austria (28), and Denmark (33) are included only as part of the
EU, and not independently.

When the countries' GDP is
measured at purchasing power parity (PPP) rates , [37] all 19 members are among the top 30 in the
world on April 2014,
according to the IMF. Iran (18), Nigeria (20),[/] Taiwan (21), Thailand (22), [b]Egypt (23), Pakistan (26), Malaysia (28), and the Philippines (29) are not G-20 members,
while Spain (16), Poland (24) and the Netherlands (27) are only included in the
EU slot.

More.


However, in a list of
average GDP, calculated for
the years since the group's
creation (1999–2008) at
both nominal and PPP rates, only Spain, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Poland, Taiwan , Iran and Thailand appear above any G-20 member in
both lists simultaneously.

I think we now know who the real Giant of Africa is. Nigeria.

Its useless to be connected to a power grid if the electricity doesn't work in the first place lol

And before you say you didn't say anything about a power grid in order for your household electricity to work you need to be connected to a power grid which controls the energy - (lol)
