The ANC government has been working very hard to improve the Ghettos as well. They deserve credit.

Re: Giant Of Africa (pics) by ContSy: 4:52pm On Nov 18, 2017
New Malls, Theaters, Numerous Public Transport Initiatives (ReaVaya, replacing all unroadworthy taxis with new ones etc). Paving all roads, even the ones that lead to your house, not just main roads, Side walks, street lights. Soweto even has bicycle lanes today, When ANC took over, Soweto was just a dusty township now there is clean water & electricity and all this new infrastructure.

I'm going to create a post 'South African Ghettos VS Nigeria' to squash the Idea that blacks in SA are riding on whites coattails. We should compare black areas in SA vs Black areas in Lagos. The mall I posted which was developed by Mr. Maponya (a black south african) s#!ts on every mall in Victoria Island. and VI is supposedly the 'Sandton' of Lagos. Lmao grin ... Then again, I'm not gonna waste my time coz Soweto would win on every front. Pictured here is public transport and an up maket mall in VI, you can do the comparison.

I'm from Soweto. I don't like the perception that Soweto is far behind in terms of development because its mostly a black township. Soweto isn't even a slum, its 95% brick & mortar houses. There wer more slums before the world cup.

I think the majority of the people need to work on their mindset. Many wait for the government to change their lives. There are so many opportunities but they don't see them. Instead foreigners are seizing those opportunities. Then there are 'black diamonds' who are climbing the corporate larder, many of them move to Sandton as soon as they are well off. I'm one of them, at the moment, I've got one foot in Sandton & another one in Soweto.

The people need to work on themselves, stop blaming the government, whites, Pakistanis, Chinese, Somalis, Nigerians, Zimbabweans when they are the problem.

Nigeria is a great place, there are several other places besides Abuja and Lagos which are never mentioned. There's Jos, Kano, Kaduna, Sokoto, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Taraba etc all these places are cool. Let's not forget Delta and co.

The fact that many Nigerians seem ignorant doesn't mean the country isn't good. You will see a typical Nigerian telling you that eating goat meat pepper soup of 10cedis in Ghana is cheap meanwhile he will get that for half the price in Nigeria and same quality but because it's 10cedis in Ghana and N500 in Nigeria he will foolishly tell you Ghana's is cheaper meanwhile if you convert the currency N500 is about 5 CEDIs

The average Nigerian is ignorant but if you visit the country you will understand this. That's why the internet doesn't do Nigeria justice.

Forget about male chauvinism, can't you see it's more or less stupidity? Females who know this live above it. Behind the self entitlement is a very weak self esteem

That said, the land called Nigeria is "Green" meaning there's so much to do here and it's unfortunate that many Nigerians expect to be spoon fed to harness the good of the land. Why else will we have foreigners living and making it big here? Many have even naturalized

As incredible as it may seem to some myopic folks there are many US, UK, Canadian citizens living, working and settled here.

You should pay us a visit

Do u ask yourself why few not many as u have exaggerated have naturalized? Of course reality continually run away from u

Who are the categories of individuals who have naturalized?

The Lebanese, Indians and a handful of Syrians.

For your info, why many of them naturalize here is largely becos Nigeria is such a useless place with no regulations and as such these people can do as they like. These include tax evasion or tax related fraud, poor working conditions of staff, bribing of Immigration officials to get papers as well as capital flight due to transfer of hard currencies back to their home countries.

Ask any Nigerian who has worked for these set of people and u wud hear harrowing experiences of slavish and exploitative working conditions Nigerians are subjected in their own country by foreigners. These people wud never do such in their advanced countries with strict regulations and where laws are strictly enforced.

I have worked with Syrians and Indians though not Lebanese and we who have know exactly why these guys want to naturalize not for love of country. For them naturalizatuon is no big deal as long as they could retain the citizenship of their own country of birth.

U claim to ve travelled abroad and u spew out rubbish. Maybe Benin Rep, Somalia, Yemen all na abroad.

...you will better understand this in the light of Cape Town being administered by Democratic Alliance (DA) and not the ANC also a white dominated suburb like Durban North is DA enclave,
The whites would never allow the ANC come ruin things for them that's the beauty of south Africa,







They ruined the country by opening the boarders to surplus people adding no value to its development.
