SirShymexx:

You do know that the kids were in tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, no? They committed a lot of atrocities there.
C'mon a lot of those child soldiers were brought to the UK as refugees, and I grew up around a few of them. Too bad, they fell in love with the roads here, and most of them are either jailbirds or in jail right now. You need to hear their stories about the war. They used to crack jokes about Nigerian soldiers. But Nigeria did play a big role in ending that, especially the battle for Freetown. Though the UK likes to take all credit cos the war somewhat ended when the SAS forces and British Army, and the Indian special forces got involved.

seppuku:

Sans as in South Africans.... Saffers etc not Khoi San??

That means the money Nigeria claims to have paid, never reached ANC, it was probably looted.

seppuku:

I have seen many videos and spoke to a couple of former Child soldiers as well. You aware that was a bloody war where even the Kamajor and Ecomog Soldiers were taking severe casualties and could sometimes not tell who were the RUF rebel kid soldiers and who were civilians. The so called atrocities commited were Sierre leonian, Kamajor and Nigerian Ecomog soldiers and no just Nigerian soldiers. There is no way in War you will not get that sort of thing especially during that time period.

Let me not digress too much though, just point me to where I can get additional info on any recorded atrocities

I am happy there is this kind of record in SA acknowledging the efforts of countries that played appreciable role in their struggle against apartheid!

A lot of people talk with ignorance in this country. Maybe because we have been deceived by our leaders/govt into believing we are what we are not so that they can continue to deceive and rule us with ease !

Let me ask: what did Nigeria do for South Africa, apart from our govt officers/leaders granting interviews to speak against apartheid? What? Did we give them money or send troops to fight for them? Absolutely NOTHING! Yet, we Nigerians always have this stupid sense of entitlement maiking all sorts of irritating noises!

There were many countries in Africa that played bigger role in the struggle to liberate SA, but they dont even brag about it.
Countries like Ghana, under Kwame Nkrumah, played a major role in the fight for freedom and the emancipation of the whole of Africa (including Nigeria). There was a tiime when most of the freedom fighters inAfrica were accomodated in Accra and even employed in the African Affairs Department under Nkrumah.
But hardly do you hear Ghanaians saying ''upon all what Ghana did for South Africa'' anytime they have an issue with South Africa or any other country for that matter!

Some people are crazzy here, that thing was never written yesterday. its been there since the 1990s, Even if you made contribution, it was not enough to put your name on that list. I m shocked people are so emmotional about this little issue. Rwanda, DRC and Burundi are what they are today because of South Africa, but if they dont recognise SA, we not gonna have sleepless night about it. We did our part, then we move on.

You were just deceived guys, money never reached those Anti-apartheid parties. Countries we need to thank without sadow of a doubt, Zambia and Tanzania. Botswana paid heavy price too, though it did not house many anti-apartheid leaders, but they were attacked day in day out by apartheid regime.

themodernman:


Nigeria is just like a wealthy husband loved only cos of his money...once his money is no longer needed he's treated like crap...

Now imagine Nigeria now becomes d one in dire need of help from SA....only God knows what will happen to us.

14:


You forgot the weapons you are using tl defeat Boko haram were provided by SA, after USA blacklisted you to buy arms. Mescenaries are from south africa.

Booyakasha:
If nigerians use these, we will be god of africa:

1. break dstv and develop our own dntv.

2. break mtn sim and use glo sim

3. stop shoprite and do our own.

4. turn nairaland into biggest african social media like fb so that south africans will join and get jealous.

5. Sports! MotoGP, XGames and sky diving. and 36 new stadiums (each state) and indoor sport hall with all equipment

6. 36 Tourist destinations in each state.

7. No bad road.

8. P0rn.. start advertising all the sexiest girls in nigeria

9. 30% of the economy should goto education.

10. Talent shows.

11. Surviellance(if i spelt it right) camera everywhere for security.

12. uhmm i dnt hv any idea again.

all4naija:
Bwahaha... This is laughable. All those cost Nigeria more money than it would have cost when almighty USA grants the nation access to purchase weapons.

14:


What were you buzy doing before they came in. Now South Africa taught you civilization, you now act like you know better. If you were wise enough, you should have had the shoprite and DSTV of your own.

14:


The fact is, you turned to SA for helpm and SA provided nigeria with powerful weapons.

AlphaDibia:
Listen.. I guess you can't list Nigeria to the rest. It's ironic, but more importantly, it's morally wrong. Just take a moment and think about what you think we did. Countrymen and women, how the fhuck are we going to set a peoples free when we, the nigerians, were living in bondage under the most brutal and corrupt dictators history has ever recorded? Did you really think we spent $61B to free south Africa from apatheid when we were living under similar conditions and perhaps, even worse? Make una think am clear again

all4naija:
Did you watch the previous video of Mandela visiting Nigeria to thank the people before ranting in your ignorance?

mikeapollo:


Mnadela would thank every nation he visited....it is just courtesy and political.
Why is Nigeria's name missing on the list? Mind you, the not compiled in 2015 or 2014.
It has been there when Mandela was alive

all4naija:
We need to plan, correct our mistakes and chase them out of the economy. They are leaches and detrimental to our development now and in the future.

14:


They have the know-how of running those businesses, try it if you wanna go back to the future.

14:


Current nigerian budget is $22Billion for 2015, so back then you could raise $61B, impossible.

ogbuefiugo:
Make I no lie.

Dis thing pain me die!!

Chai!!!

See blocking.

all4naija:
That is laughable...But, the GDP is larger than your country's

14:


On paper, Yes.

Your budget kinda like exposes your lies on your GDP

$500B, budget $22B for NIGERIA
$400B, budget $120B for SA

Do your maths

14:


I can see you are dissapointed my man, but what you see there is the truth. Because even here down South, Nigeria has never been mentioned since the late 1980s and early 1990s. As i said, had the billions you donated reached Anti-apartheid parties, nigeria would have been there. Remember it was not only ANC who was fighting the apartheid regime, there were PAC, AZAPO, SACP. even 3 of thosenever recognise Nigeria. Those 3 parties had no relation with the ANC.

GogobiriLalas:
Did Nigeria help defeat Apartheid in other to turn SA into a vassal fiefdom? Whatever happened to altruism; fine, you people helped defeat Apartheid but you're always quick to point this out, you rob our efforts of any dignity. The struggle against Apartheid was not just an SA thing, it was a struggle to gain equality for the Negro races, we wanted these people to be free in their own homeland and to be able to make their own decisions;

Michaelgates:
Those animals? They do not have brains to process things like that. In south african schools, they delibrately omitted Nigeria's part in their history books. That is to show u how jealous and ungrateful they are.

14:


Thats not what they want, they want VISA free entry to SA, since they helped SA to be liberated.
