Tears? I see only facts.

And the facts tell us that everything you have said is untrue and frankly ridiculous.

You are truly a sad human being - no one here takes you seriously after you tried to tell us South AfRica is not a member of BRICS

The only tears here are yours... tell me are you one of the over 60% of nigerians who live in poverty??

Patrick, my delusionary friend. You never cease repeating these redundantly stale lines of yours!
Seems I always manage to seat on your nerves each time I leave a comment

Since World bank has given us irrefutable statistics that only 33% of Nigerians are poor, data from your own country says 45% South Africans live below the poverty line.

As of yesterday, the BBC was trending south Africans crowding the streets with billboards begging for jobs like the physically handicapped

You keep consoling yourself and attempting to rewrite your history in the pages of Nairaland but it won't fly.

I'm sorry you have to be born to witness the Darkest moments of South Africa's history. Not even in apartheid were things this bad.

Once again live with your frustrations and keep it within your borders.

Welcome to the slide to irrelevance

Political minion.

You didnt make a counter argument. Hence his statement stands.

Nigeria Blown the fvck out

Will they ever recover?

I should make a counter-argument in response to the rantings of a clearly insane individual.



LMFAO!!!!!

A professional analyst for the FW De Klerk foundation is insane because he said something that hurts your feelings?

This is why your country will never ammount to anything, you are blinded by nationalism, as a people you have very low standards.

World bank data:

53% of Nigerians live in poverty

16% of South Africans live in poverty
http://povertydata.worldbank.org/poverty/country/ZAF

Do you actually beleive your own lies?

Patrick, will you stop this nonsense!!!

You live in deceit and thrive in controversy!!! That's your only means of escape from your miserable geopolitical realities.

Only 33% of Nigerians are poor:

Sweat on, dummy!!!

Do the low standards include the GDP size which is the 22nd largest in the world at over $550 billion, an Entertainment sector which contributes $5 billion to GDP, a Cement sector which the 3rd largest in volume in the world...... Yes, i could not careless about the opinion of a clearly insane South-African.

Everyone knows South Africa is a sad story today.

Bunch of inexperienced cavemen who didn't look where they put their feet.

Just 20 years after the white man handed power and the reins of governance, south Africa is already the sleazebucket of Africa.

From number 1 economy for over 300 years to number 3 in less than 20 years of black rulership.

From a thriving health sector to Cuba-pity charity case

From bullies to whimps.

Hahahahahn.

Cherry picking data proves nothing henry

Fact is that your """huge""" GDP doesnt count for sh1t - especially considering our government budget is 4X yours.

His argument stands as valid.

patches689:



And yet the data tells a different story. And our membership of G20 and BRICS tells a completely different story.

Remember Nigeria has to grow its GDP by 80% to be on the same per ratia as us.

Tell me - are you part of the 50% of migerians that lives in poverty?

With the rate of decline and free falling, south Africa will soon become a political spittoon in the committee of nations.

BRICs, G20? How has that shielded you from being so irrelevant now?

How has that increased your geopolitical tentacles and influence?

Dead man citing redundant certificate as evidence of life

Keep your G20, will always bleep you with our GDP, that's what counts and matters in geopolitics, dunce!!

Tell me, are you amongst those hungry looters who rob and plunder foreigners in cold blood and steal their belongings?

patches689:


So i post actual world bank data

And you respond with newspaper clippings?

According to world bank data: 1 out of 2 Nigerians live in poverty and 1 out of 10 South Africans live in poverty.

World bank confirms. Argument over.

Another hukom from Patrick.

Statistics say more than 1 in every 4 south African is jobless!!! That's the facts form World bank and your own country.

That's more than 25% of south Africans without jobs.

Your comments here can't change the facts on ground in your country.

South Africa is Zimbabwe bound. You know it's certain.

We're watching. Just 20 years it took south African economy, security, politics, health, to melt away like pastries before an oven.

In the next 20years, another Detroit.

The hype and false publicity has been buried with Mandela.

Everyone sees you for what you are; Living in a past that never truly was.

Henry240:


I understand South-Africans are mentally hopeless, the Data provided by me is chief amongst the reasons why you are in 3rd position and we are 1st.


Come back when you have a coherent argument.


Nigeria has 36 states and the FCT. All states including the FCT have their budgets which is separate from the budget of the federal government.


One more thing, Nigeria's tax to GDP ratio is only 5% of GDP. An additional 5% would more than double F.G's budget.


Infact there is no rational for this argument, i'm not going be be-little Nigeria by starting an economic argument which a country which fell from 1st place to 3rd place. Not gonna happen.


You can only wail, but when the chips are down, the world knows who's boss in Africa.

Patrick, what has your government"s budget has to do with geopolitics? Why are you such a dishonest, evasive dunderhead?

If you remain the number 3 economy in Africa, your voice will be muffled out in the international erena.

Germany vs UK vs France

China vs japan

You, Patrick have a rudimental and basic knowledge of international politics.

Quit showcasing your ignorance in a celebratory fashion. It is sickening!

Odunayaw:
how come only the foolish south Africans bliv they have any place in the economy boss seat of Africa


his statement is as useless as d p in pneumonia

patches689:


So you are saying.

The ammount of money we can spend (in real terms) is irrelevant

But the ammount of money in our economy (in hypothetical terms) is relevant?

My knowledge of international politics is this:

South Africa = G20, BRICS
Nigeria = ..... *Crickets chirping*....

You are a buffoon if you think that your underdeveloped nation has suddenly become relevant because you can wave around a hypothetical number.

patches689:


Blah blah

Your lies got exposed now you try to pivot and change the argument.

Come back and talk to us in 20 years

patches689:


Nigeria is in the boss seat of Africa?

Our annual global trade is worth $206 billion, yours a pathetic and paltry $150 billion.

Nigeria is, and will remain, irrelevant.

If you chose to delude yourself into thinking that a nominal and hypothetical number has suddenly made you relevant think again.

Pro-tip: The market does not give a sh1t about the gross figure of your GDP.

lezz:
[s][b]Is G20 a political alliance?

BRICs? South Africa is a "brickette", that's a term used by your own press. In a group of just 5 countries, south Africa's contribution is just 2% GDP.

You should be ashamed of your false sense of importance.

How has south Africa been able to leverage brics or g20 membership when your president is s bowing before Abuja for diplomatic cooperation and eager to start a clean slate with Nigeria?

How has BRICs helped your economy or influence?

Each post you make leaves you looking stupider than your last post.

Take your geopolitical lesson and learn from me:

Both France and UK are in the permanent security council of the UN nation since imception. UK is also the leader of the Commonwealth which has powerful countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc.

But who control and dictates Europe?

Germany does!!! She isn't a permanent Security member of the UN or belongs to a powerful block like commonwealth of nations.

Her GDP and population does the magic in geopolitics and influence in Europe. And she dictated the pulse of all Europe!

Patrick, bow to me. I'll never stop teaching you international diplomacy and power play.

You will always remain Nairaland's bemedalled quack displaying 5 minutes Google knowledge!!!

Fact falsifier![/s] [/b]

lezz:
[s]Another clump of evasive incoherence from Patrick!!!

Are you denying 25% percent of south Africans aren't jobless?

BBC reports it's 26/7 percent. I'm just being a little conservative with the fact.

You want me to steer you to BBC now?

Ok, Call BBC liars as you called me.Call the pictural evidence lies. Because you're Patrick, you'll rather die than own up to truth![/s]

So tell me, are you one of the 50% of Nigerians who lives on less than $1 a day?

And yet our government has 4X the budget yours does

And yet we allmost double your trade

And yet we remain the most developd and diversified economy on the continent
