You guys are very funny. Now you want to chase Southies just because you dont agree with them. Come on, Just imaging if the Southies chase away roughly a Million Nigerians who live in South Africa. But they chose to live with then side by side in peace. Most of the southies are participating in this forum are based in SA.

Sometimes i would imaging Nigeria, putting it in SA's shoes, i am telling you Nigeria can"t cope. You guys cant deal with Foreigners. Its hard my man, taking consideration that there are 11 millions foreigners in RSA. 4 millions of them are from Zimbabwe, 1 million form Nigeria. And they are in SA to make a living. RSA is not America, they also have poor people. Local people fight for survival with foreign people in their own land. When resources are limited and you also under pressure of external people. Who do you satisfy.

If Nigeria is battling with the tribal clashes, what about people who would be coming from out side of Nigeria. Would they feel safe. How many people die every year due to tribal clashes? Thousand. Then do you think myself as a foregner would decide to settle in Niger, no ways.

You forgetting Angola, which has just overtaken Nigeria as Africa's No.1 OIL producer. To overtake South Africa as the No1 country you've got tp dominate Africa. Nigerian companies all over Africa, something which is not happening. The different between Nigeria and South Africa is that Nigeria does not have big companies dominating the continent. just look at South Africa, the whole of Subsahara Africa Eat, breath and sleep South Africa. you can see the influence of South Africa if you go to different parts of Africa.

Just ask yourself a question, how many Nigerian companies that have invested in South Africa? You probably dont know even  a single companies. i personally dont know. Then how many South African companies that have invested in Nigeria. Nigeria will never overtake South Africa in 200 yrs. it will never happen.

I would be very much happy to see Nigerian companies invest in South Africa. We have signed the bilateral some years ago, but it seems its one way, South Africa investing in Nigeria. Nigeria should also invest in South Africa. There is lots of money here, you can make profit just like MTN is making in Nigeria.

which country in AFRICA GAT DA BEST N DISCIPLINE LAND SOLDIERS?, Nigeria, you are true.

If Glo decide to come to Southy,most people will definetly be happy,because it means competition,and with compettion it means lower rates and quality services.

South African companies invested in Nigeria at the times when few companies wanted to do business in Nigeria,they took risks and they're now reaping rewards,and also they where also offering world class services that where not there at the time.And it's good that company like Glo are there today,competing with a worldclass company,that could only benefit the people.South African retailers like Pick and Pay,Woolworth,Game,Dion,Nandos and others are also offering Naija people some of the services that wasnot there.And if big Nigerian companies opens to rival the above,offering the same service and more it will be good for the masses.

I think South Africa played a very meaningful part in shaping the current Nigeria,and for Nigeria to develop further they need South Africa and it's companies,I am not saying this in a arrogant way,hope you understand.

The only weakness with Nigeria is it's law,South Africa will not give licence or allow any major company international to trade in South Africa without local shareholding.You have to sell some of your shares to a local if you want to do business in SA.I think Nigeria should also do that.This will benefit the locals economicaly and in terms of experience.Create laws that will benefit you and your country.

We had THISDAY newspaper,which was Nigerian owned,and was well supported but operated for just over a year and was bankrupt,caused by mismanagement,surely you can't blame the country for that.

MTN is not a white owned company, its a black owned company. DSTV is not white owned. Nandos is also not white owned. And the richest person in South Africa aint white either. You thought Whites control every thing. White people make only 9% of the whole Population, There is only 4.7 million white people out of a total 50 million South Africans. Just come and see for your self, you will be surprised.

Of course white people are well off since they benefitted from Apartehid, but they don't control South Africa Economically, that i can tell you. Even if they are white own, those white people are still South African. They have been here for over 400 years, more than white Americans in america. Then dont they deserve to be called South African if you can call White Americans Americans when they have only been there for less than 300 yrs.

Some thing that i should tell you, we dont see every thing in black and white here in the South. You will never hear that there is a tribal war, There is only 4 tribes in SA and they respect each other.

That is false information. simply because you see some Black CEO's running around does not equate to economice power. Ask Thabo Mbeki that questioned and he will tell you why his policies were geared towards pleasing the business community.

There are more that 4 tribes in SA bro and you know it. The reason there is relative cohesion is primarily due to the Apatheid era where groups were fighting for a common cause and therefore were able to identify as a unite eliminating differences between groups. Though your Zulu brothers are stil very stubborn and tried to seceeded while negotiations were going regarding the new constitution.
