all4naija: Hehehe... My ribs hurt for laughing hard and loud! Before SA was known many parts of Africa have been trading with outside world. You forget to talk about the Cradle of civilization, Egypt. Don't be fooled by your infrastructural development. When it comes to history and recognition SA is on the low side of the scale.

Country like Ethiopia, Libya, Tunis have been exposed to the outside world for long with good historical outlooks before your over-bloated country. In fact, the name Africa originated from that region. Mind you, Europeans dwellers had settlements in these parts of Africa for long time and their civilization is seen around cities and towns in parches.

Please, stop alluding to false information your country is instilling in you. Get out of your country's comfort zone and step into other parts of Africa to understand how uniquely diverse the continent is despite it is riddled with faces of poverty and poor development.

blitz8701:

I must be fooled by infrastructure! Are you for real? Have u ever even been to SA before, I personal don't think so. SA's infrastructure has improved substantially during the past 19 years after white minority rule. We have a better economy after we inherited a bankrupt country from the afrikaaners, we have an improved transport system, the best airports in africa, a dependable health care system etc. all that I've mentioned here my dear friend happened after we got rid of a white government and replaced it with africans who are just like you. Stop worshiping white people its sick really. Now that I've mentioned what black people who don't see themselves as less intelligent than white people did after independence what has the giants of population done for her people since independence FIFTY YEARS AGO? rather than drill for oil and hand it over to your white masters, and ofcorse bomb each other every month?

Don't give me history lessons my friend especially when your history is plagued by nothing but wars amongst your people, u telling me about Egypt and all them, what about nigeria? What has nigeria done in modern times for africa? I say modern because I know you wont be able to resist playing the "WE HELPED YOU DURING APERTHAID card. SA bought the world cup to africa for the first time, SA has the biggest economy in africa, produce one of the best wines in the world, are part of the BRICS nations, have the only high speed train in africa etc...the truth is unlike doing what was expected of us and chasing white people out of the country like many african countries did we chose to forgive them, with the help of my hero ofcorse MR Mandela 'the giant of africa'. SA belongs to all who live in it and we have equal rights and opportunities but you have to live here to see that. We chose to forgive and forget and look where we are today, we have achieved the impossible, and people like u who can't understand our achievements come up with stupid questions like "where would SA be without white people" please! Just tell us the truth, you envy what SA black people have and what they have achieved this is just a smear campaign by you and you alone coz not all nigerians share ur sorry state of mind thinking that white people are superior to blacks, that's not the way of thinking in the year 2013. If you said that in the early 90's I'd let it slide but not now. "Imanstipate yourself from mental slavery" BOB Marley.

You must be stoned or something else to beat around the bush to counter what I have said earlier with off-topic. If you looked to my previous comment prior to this your reply you would find out that the poster made an assertion Africa wouldn't have been recognized around the world if not for SA. I pointed out coherently what false information he's passing around with history. History reminds us about the past, that, we have seen SA is at the bottom side of it when it comes to recognition in Africa.

That comment was about Africa not Nigeria. You seem to be arguing blindly without taking your time to read and comprehend other people's comment. That is something I do not agree with in this your very comment. It is like throwing tantrum and expect to be seen as smart. I would say it is a failure on your side for addressing the comment from a myopic point of view.

Nigeria has good historic facts behind it that is not so much different from other Africans. Indeed, many of your history can be traced back to West African region. How you people migrated on barefoot to the Southern region of Africa. It is a long history though, on how you were the weaklings who were chased out to find away to survive thereby journeyed downward to SA and later were conquered by the arriving white.

Leaving history aside and talking about how Africa is viewed around the world, it is clear it is not on development but poverty, backwardness, diseases and just to mentioned a few. The infrastructural development of SA alone has not changed that perception of the Western world about Africa. You coming around to brag about your development is just a tongue-in-cheek idea that is only received by Africans not the developed world. In the developed world SA is just another little-better-than-other=Africa-nations. With that, I would advise you to learn to read others comments thoroughly before coming here to blab about your country.

To conclude it all, SA is still passing through different facets of development and that is the handwork of the white people against your claim that the black government brought about the recent ones. Yet, you forgot the mechanism that has been put in place by them before the black leadership is responsible for these changes you talked about.

zetdee:
nigerians due to the countries population will obviously have alot more highly educated people than other african countries, but the evarage nigerian is nothing special, 120million live in abject poverty and can't read or write. As the country's population increases to more than 300million Nigeria's problems will only get wores, those who make it through the cracks will find life unbearable in overcrowded, polluted, corrupt, hungry and violent nigeria, their only option will be to move abroad and use their skills to help develope other countries. Nigeria should be compared to India as it has more similarities with India than China. India despite years of high growth is still a shithole, and could not even host the common wealth games, while South Africa hosted a very successfull world cup and could have hosted the Olympic games. Nigeria has not even undergone an industrial revolution and is being beaten by a country like Kenya in IT and telecommunication by Angola, what are all this highly aducated people doing for Nigeria other than looting it and moving abroad. All infrastructure projects in Nigeria are done by foreigners/whites, Nigerians are only labourers, so i don't see the difference between your situation and ours, therefore nigerians should not brag about Eko Atlantic or Abuja. The same can be said about the gulf states, foreign architectures/engineers and even foreign labourers.



This is the situation on the ground in the giant of Africa.

guys nigeria and south africa are both great.

Lol... I can spot your trick there,dude.

However, the whites are the life-blood of that country's development the blacks brag about.

@All4naija are you still crying us a river on this thread? Shame sorry for your woes now go get a life! Mchweeeeew. Why are you so sad about SAand its whites? Try google may be you can rent or buy some whites. You are becoming an insult to your country crying for white people like this?

all4naija: I am not crying in whatsoever means. I am only stating things the way they are. Not some routine lying South Africans who come to this thread to peddle false information about their country. It is only fools who would buy such information with questioning.

I have a live, if that is what you want to go about attacking my very person. I find it to be funny than being insulting to my very personality. I can buy you a beer any day to prove to me with facts beyond reasonable doubt how it is not the whites who are responsible for the infrastructural development of your country.

sweetcheecks:

Now I understand where your bitterness is coming from after looking at this thread. I forgive you. But you know white people never do the clean up themselves even if they are there you blacks still have to do it.

All SA people in this thread please forgive the guy. Please see thread attached I know you will understand why we rub him wrongly.

Warning: i puked after following the thread for 10seconds!

mr_ogee: its pointless talking about "could have beens" fact is we are, it was written in destiny and those whites you seem to alienate are South africans. Now focus on contributing to your country's growth and stop victimising yourself and your people on the bases of your skin colour! Case closed. This thread is becoming redundant

all4naija: It is sad a rich nation like SA is still living on UK aids. By 2015 all UK aids to SA will be cancelled. Hahaha...

The acclaimed giant of Africa has been living on a UK aids for years now.

Do not be a fool, all ex British Colonies are funded by the UK including Nigeria. Actually Nigeria is the most aided country in Africa google is your friend my dear. The UK wants stop funding becouse they see the progress made and realise we can do without their aid. Imagine of they could pull a plug on Nigeria? That would be called genocide besides the UK is tired of Nigeians coming to the UK so they would rather keep funding them to avoid over influx of them to other countries and being nusances there. Its a control strategy we fully support.

Now, shush back to your shjthole.

DictatorZAR:

Look at this fool again

Nigeria receives over £230m each year from UK goverment and the money goes directly to corrupt officials
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2235488/Britain-wasting-230m-aid-Nigerian-schools-Pupils-left-play-games-teachers-fail-turn-says-report.html


Even a country with a $2trillion economy still receives more aid then South Africa. UK gives India over £200m ($313m) a year.
http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-20265583

Now you come and talk nonsense about UK ending SA's £19m a year aid please, there are houses in South Africa worth more 10times more then that meager Aid UK gives SA.

By the way did you read that SA told UK that our bilateral relationship will no longer be the same, which means SA don't see those UK fools as important to South Africa anymore, now this can't even be said about Nigeria who goverment is a Western Lap Dog.

Hahaha... You are full of excuses. India in the rightful sense is a very poor country. Don't let the GDP deceive you because it might as well mean you are fooling yourself by referring to a nation with a population well above the total population of Africa whose total GDP is not as large as the Japanese, a nation with population of 127.8 million(as at 2011).

However, they are also stopping the aids to India by 2015. So, to go about India as your excuse only speaks of your failure to see the reason why your nation has lived on aids from UK till now. Your country has laid claims to be very wealthy yet has the world worst inequality that can not lift its people out of poverty, the poor who litters Townships in crimes. Stop lying and stop giving excuses.

Leave Nigeria out of this. It is about your country that claims to be very rich. Nigerians know very well their country is poor and have one of the largest people living in poverty in Africa. We are't like South Africans who pride themselves as rich and go about suffering in silence. Hahaha...South Africans are suffering in silence out of egoistic disposition. That we are seeing from your comment here.

all4naija: I said to get off my comments IF he is not ready to read them to comprehend with open-mind. So,you are the hypocrite here.

I still think the Townships are no go areas. I can't imaging what would be going on there, with the violent nature of the most South Africans I have seen on TV acting like they are at war. With such violence going in in the townships there is no African immigrant who would dare walk free on their streets.

You are dumb as fucck! South Africa is the only country with the biggest budget foe education and health in Africa and by the way aid is different fro hiv/aids. Why are you going on about aids? What are refering to? Or you making a plural of aid to aids? Lmao . By the way we have discovered oil reserves and gas. We are about to be a force to be reckoned with. We are part of BRICS, we do not need the UK aid, the only concern was the process followed. Unlike Nigeria we budget ahead so it would have been appropriate to tell us before announcing to the world.

As for Nigeria it is the dirtiest country in the whole world.

all4naija: Hehehe...(Having my mouth closed with both hands in surprise). Your comment is so silly that it proves you don't reason before posting at all. When has a country wealth got to do with people visiting a country? As far as there is no war going on in any nation people are likely to visit. You just hit yourself on the head. Poor thing!

For holidays, you said without putting things in perspective, forgetting that it is not only SA that is receiving holiday makers in Africa. It is clear Morocco, Kenya, Egypt, Tanzania,etc are receiving equal numbers of leisure seekers as SA. Please, stop bantering around like mad man over empty drums to pass across your message. Hahaha...

Giant that is living on UK's aids. That is very humble of your country. What a humble background of SA to be accepting aids from UK and claiming to be rich to Africans.

I stopped commenting in this thread some time ago because of the st*upi*dy displayerd by you daily.

On the Giants of Africa issue, we all know even the world knows there's only own country on this continent calling itself rthe Giants of africa and that is Nigeria, even this very Nairaland site has it as its Header. You need to stop acting like a small boy.

South Africa is the biggest Aid donor African nation, no other African nation gives more in Aid to other countries on this continent then SA and that's a fact, we are even the largest african contributer to the AU also.

It has become clear that you have issues with SA, you distorted a lot of facts given here even the ones that clearly shows how bad the FG of nigeria is by telling us "I take it with a pinch of salt".

A foolish 23 year old boy coming on NL to spew unfounded nonesense about SA. We in SA knows we are a developing country which is clasified a middle income state, even our own goverment don't deny this that we still have a long to become a fully developed state, its only you who continuesly talk as if SA according to your undeveloped brain is a developed state. Yes in africa we are considered as more developed.


Your rantings have become legendary and foolish so I suggest you should find yourself new hobbies other then coming on NL to talk sh*iit.
