Dear Nairalanders, I have been living in Cape Town, South Africa but decided to share some of my experiences there. I hope you get to visit the beautiful City some time soon.
Cape Town is a city about 70 % (ca. 2,455 km² the size of Lagos State and with a population 20 % (about 435,000) that of Lagos state (Wikipedia, 2017). It is one the few first world cities in a third world country. So here goes:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Town

1. White coloured cars are predominant while most people use the hatchback kind of car.

2. Free condoms can be found in most public toilets that are mostly clean and well maintained.

3. Expiry dates are written on almost all perishable products/items.

4. Cape Town has a diverse culture and ethnicity. Approximately 15 % of its population are whites from diverse countries of origin while the
coloured people are dominant population (approximately 50 %) of Cape Town

5. Black ladies typical have buttocks 1.5 times larger than the average Nigerian lady and typically do not put on make-up. The whites, coloured and Indian ladies typically are flat front and behind.

6. Data is typically more expensive In South Africa
R 99 (about N 2500) for 500 MB using CELL-C. This is way more expensive than Airtel, 9 Mobile, MTN or even GLO bundles in Nigeria

7. Electricity is 24 hours. Although I have been in Abuja for the past 4 days and its pretty much more than 23 hours of electricity.

8. Roads are generally well paved and tarred

9. Average salary of a recent graduate Cape Tinian is higher than recent Nigerian graduates. The lowest earn at least ZAR 13,000 (about N 333, 000) per month http://caglobalint.com/recruitmentafrica/blog/2015/09/10/top-10-highest-salaries-for-graduates-in-south-africa/

10. Most people dress casually to church on Sundays as against us Nigerian.

11. Whenever someone invites you to lunch or for a drink, you must pay for what you take. Unlike Nigeria where the inviter takes up all the tabs.

12. Contrary to general belief about black South Africans, there are many industrious South Africans

nice one

13. Boulders beach where you can see penguins. They Take advantage of their natural resources making them attractive for citizens and tourists. They make so much money from tourist attractions.

14. You can determine how cold or hot a day would be by looking at the changing states of Coconut oil.

15. If you ever lived in Lagos, you’d know about the Danfo buses but here in Cape Town, Danfo buses are called Taxi.

16. V & A waterfront which looks so much like the wharf in Lagos is one largest revenue generating tourist attractions
