Morocco is the most developed country in Africa. South Africa is not the most developed. It only has the most cities with high-rise buildings and bubbling economic city in Africa. High rise buildings is not what makes a country "developed". There is a difference between the two. Secondly, I don't think you should include military might as development.
South Africa just pride itself with Johannesburg and Cape Town. All the South African cities have slums (ghettos) that are worse than Ajegunle, Lagos.
Development is measured by the standard of living of the populace in a particular place. As well as literacy rate, infrastructure etc. South Africans envy Nigeria a lot, because 80% of the older generation of South Africans are illiterate.
Anyone who has been to South Africa, and is honest, will tell you that it's not different from Nigeria. Mind you, the cities were developed during the apartheid regime. And Johannesburg is becoming as rugged as Lagos, Nigeria.
Below are photos of Johannesburg slums.

People posting pictures will never post pictures of their own cities in South Africa. They will rather post pictures of "white cities" built during apartheid that we (Nigerians) helped delivered them from. Most of them live in SOWETO, SOSHANGUVE, UMLAZI, KWA-MASHU, IMANDA, MBOMBELA(NELSPRUIT) AND SO ON INCLUDING SHANTY TOWNS OF JOBURG,CAPETOWN AND OTHER WHITE CITIES.
.A country is only develop when 90% of its population have basic ammenities and live in humane conditions. An average Nigerian is better than the average South African.

Oh come on, all the time I've spent in Europe, I'm yet to see the Nigerians who are being specifically looked down upon, since they are either students, doctors or competing for jobs.
lf Nigerians are so worthless abroad, why do we have so many doctors in the U.S, and why do we have the highest no of educated foreigners in the U.K and U S, this is a big lie.
l would even give you the link of a black American forum where they ask why the Nigerians succeed easily in America than even the black Americans, so spare me that bullshate.

While you at it there is also other statistics that shows there are more nigerians in EU/US/Asian jails than any other african nation.

Anyone who goes to another country will try he's best to secure his future we all know that in order to support he's family in he's native country its a fact.

What's so funny is that we are talking about africans who live in there countries and contribute inside their nations in order to uplift and develop it. If you are so better then others why don't you stay in your country of milk and honey.

Lastly I was in Italy for 6 days in Feb 2016 and you know what made me so ashamed was the number of Nigerian woman selling themselves on roadsides in broad daylight.

Stop thinking you are something special while we all know the truth is in your mass convergence at foreign Embassies to escape your BETTER THAN SOUTH AFRICA COUNTRY

Well not all Nigerians are escaping, and there are of course many in the country making it better as well.
l am just against this narrative that Nigerians are looked down on abroad, an oft repeated fallacy.

You are very funny at the way you come at a conclusion. Nigerians are not the one being looked down on but blacks. It doesnt matter what passport you are holding, as long as you are a black outside Africa expect such stereotypes.

I'm a black South African, I'm very, very happy with my life in South Africa.

I can genuinely guarantee you that Majority of Black South Africans Mostly don't care or even know what the Capital City of Nigeria is.

Most S.A people are very ignorant to Nigeria and when you say Nigeria, the first thing that comes to their minds are Drug Dealers, Boko Haram, Bring Back our Girls, Internet Scams, oh jah and Nollywood and your Music Artists.

But in my 24yrs alive and being around Black South Africans who come from different backgrounds, I've never, ever heard a single one of them say that they wish they were like Nigerians.

I've heard people talk about wanting to move to Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Algeria, Ethiopia...but never Nigeria.

I won't lie I do admit the fact that South Africans do love some of your products.. Like Movies & Music, and I for one find Nigerian women to be very attractive, I like some of your Music, I love this Forum that has given me a chance to communicate with Africans from other countries, BUT just because we like your products it doesn't mean we are jealous or want to be like you.

Everything you put up there SA is not any better than Nigeria besides the ELECTRICITY.

If Nigeria were to be the popation of South Africa, the electricity generated will be more than enough. SA is around 60 million while Nigeria is over 180 million people
Re: Which country on the African continent is most developed ? by Funnyman: 2:38pm On Mar 07, 2018
Speaking on literacy rate. People who can read and write does not translate to people who are educated. Nigerians are more educated than South Africans. Hardly, will a Nigerian settle for high school without furthering education to University level. Our challenge in figures come from Northern Nigeria.

My man l agree with most of your points, but on this electricity issue, Nigeria has failed and population should not be used as an excuse when comparing with SA, because they generate way more electricity than Nigeria. Nigeria generates just about 7000 MW, we need to generate about 20,000 MW at least. South Africans generate about 40,000 MW(they use a lot for mining).
