It's amazing when people who haven't gone out of Nigeria rely on Google to spew nonsense. I just came back from SA yesterday night. Patriotism aside, those guys are not our mate in ANYWAY. They are far far far ahead of us.The beauty and infrastructures in places like jborg and capetown can be compared to Europe. Nigeria no reach at all..... In fact, I'm not sure we can catch up with them.All through my stay, power never went out for one day. Let people keep rejoicing at this audio achievement. We are giants of Africa for mouth so sad.
my brother, the thing tire me..., how can someone in his right thinking, for any reason compare Nigeria with SA??

But these suburbs areas are reserved for the whites. Only few blacks actually live there.

Isn't this where your type mostly live?
You always post the same pics to make a stupid point, some of our people unfortunately live in such conditions along with poor migrants from all over Africa, but black South Africans are the biggest middle class in South Africa meaning many don't live in such conditions, many live in surbubs, mansions, clean townships etc, by all means, post pics of them too, or they don't exist?

In any case, large parts of your country and your much vaunted Lagos look like this or should i ask SUFFERinSMILIN to provide pictures?

Bros, compare our urban areas to theirs. I like when people say the truth.
Now, forget the rural areas or township, which I think you are referring to. Those places are even well planned with good roads.
Those people are well ahead of us in infrastructures.
even many our townships look better than your high class areas

Black South Africans are one of the most primitive sets of il.literates in the world.

Most of what South Africa has today were inherited from colonization.

Thirty years after Apartheid, they are still the group with the highest unemployment rate and the highest crime and corruption in the country.

Not forgetting rape, prostitution and childbirth.

To add icing on the cake, the whites earn three times their salary.

Lol, You sound dumber and dumber the more you open your mouth. Is there an African country with more prostitutes in Europe than Nigeria? Even in South Africa your women in dingy clubs ask us if we "wanna fvck" with that ugly baritone accent of yours

You breed-like rats and you have the audacity in dissing us about childbirth, ?

Rape is also a problem in your country with old men marrying toddlers all on the name of religion

Well let me put it this way..... I'm not suffering from inferiority complex...My wealth and achievements are mine and not for public consumption. If I choose NOT to flaunt it on anybody's face it is not an indication that I am poor or under achived. Hope you understand this as its not common amongst your peers.

Just heard that Nigeria is now the top tech nation in Africa, for me we are not at the top yet when we can't change mundane processes, the status quo and we don't have companies/startups that creates products that hooks people and make raving fans. But we have some outliers I know doing something special. For me what caused the growth was because of our sociological architecture, Nigerians rush to things that make money and they live/like to copy! That's why you will see startups thinking like the normal Nigerian company, "oiling the Status quo" what we need is energy, passion and crazy people with crazy ideas, we need the kind of energy that the valley had in 1970s,80s and 90s and 00s. �

Now that Buhari administration is getting all the things they were using to praise GEJ then and more.....

Can we now agree that GEJ was also a failure

GEJ and BUHARI are both failures. We keep loosing our galant soldiers to extremist and there first priority and duty is to protect every single life of Nigerians. But, people are still dying everyday and police keep killing innocent citizens and nothing is done. Our country at the moment is a fail state.

Are you saying Nigeria will turn into Gambia of Igbos go? I don't think so. It may even prosper more.
Yes.
Because losing the most industrious and educated part of your population will suddenly make you better.

Or the abokiis would suddenly become very progressive.

You don't know what you are praying for. I pity you.

You lied, Mark Zuckerberg would not have failed in Nigeria if he applied the same ingenuity he applied in America. Besides, Nigeria is not a den of failures. Nigeria has produced the likes of Dangote, Otedola, Innosson, Soyinka, Tony Elumelu, Jim Ovia, Festus Akimgbola, Emeka Of, Artur Eze and countless others.

Those who fail are those of you who on a daily basis curse the country saying that there is nothing good about Nigeria. So you cannot curse the land that you till to plant crops and expect it to yield abundantly for you at the time of harvest.

Basic principle.
