Dear Nigerians,

Kindly note that South Africa is in no way competing with you people. We're in different leagues therefore both countries should stay in, and maintain, their lanes.

What are you then doing on NAIRAland?

Shouldn't you be staying on your lane in RANDland

CSTR2:

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.

Nothing concerns Igbo with Aboki. I am interested in Igbos alone

See yeye talk.

Top tech nation without evidence that this is adding value to the lives of the people. These hubs are simply hunting grounds for western venture capitalists. Often little of the returns stay in the native countries.

I laugh when I see people say South Africa has uninterrupted power supply..

Like. guys, in rural areas, 60% of households have no access to electricity, plus the constant load shedding happening in South Africa is enough indication that 24/7 is not a thing there.


But trust those zombies to hype their country as if we don't know what's happening there.

Eskom expresses pride on improved access to electricity
SOUTH AFRICA / 28 SEPTEMBER 2018, 4:44PM / ANA REPORTER

CAPE TOWN - South Africa’s power utility Eskom on Friday said electricity access had improved from 36% in 1994 to 90% to date.
Eskom said in 1994, at the “the dawn of democracy”, only 36% of the country had access to electricity, with 12% being rural electrification.
To date, the programme is left with less than 300,000 un-electrified houses in its area of supply, and this figure excludes growth and informal settlements.
Ninety percent of South Africans have access to electricity, and 80% in rural areas have been electrified through the integrated national electrification programme(INEP).
The statement said, the majority of the electrification programme was being implemented in more remote and deep rural areas, where the construction of the network infrastructure was challenging, on difficult terrain and therefore expensive.
To date, Eskom has electrified in excess of five million households, with plans to electrify 180,000 households per year for the next three years.
“Eskom is as much part of South Africa’s heritage as our power lines and power stations are part of the South African landscape. But it goes beyond that, our systems, processes, skills and expertise needed to run the grid are also part of a shared heritage,” said Eskom group chief executive Phakamani Hadebe.
“This year’s heritage day is special because this is the year of Nelson Mandela’s centenary, a man that taught all of us the importance of our rich and varied cultural heritage that can help build our nation,” he said.
Hadebe added that “as an organisation that has been the cornerstone of South Africa’s economy, we continue to pride ourselves on our heritage of powering the nation. We are forever mindful that electricity is a key enabler, driving the economy, education, social cohesion and individual and collective aspirations. This is why we taking the goal of achieving universal access so seriously".

Who is paying you to hype those things?

Most of what South Africa have currently, were inherited during colonization.

SA is still standing because whites rule the affair of the country.
If they ever grow balls and send them out, South Africa won't be any different from Zimbabwe.

what black South Africans achieved after 1994, statistics says it all...21 ways life in South Africa has improved since 1994
Staff Writer 3 years ago


The Institute of Race Relations has released a report detailing the many areas in South Africa where life has improved since the dawn of democracy.

The report – titled Life in South Africa: Reasons for Hope – was published at a time of economic uncertainty and political instability.

However, it is for this reason that the report is necessary, the IRR said – to show the socio-economic success the country has achieved, and the many ways in which life has become better.

“The context is one in which the economy is not performing strongly. Too many people are unemployed. There is a great deal of corruption. Violent protests are commonplace. Questions are being asked about the future of South Africa’s democracy,” the IRR said.


“But amidst the turmoil, IRR analysts see the story of a young democracy that has made a vast amount of progress in fields ranging from the economy and employment to living standards, poverty, education, healthcare and crime.

“This is not captured by screaming newspaper headlines but by the substantive progress we have made as a country since the end of apartheid. It is a story of hope amid change.”

These are the x ways in which life in South Africa has improved greatly, according to the IRR

Economy

The economy has grown by 85% in real terms since 1994, from R1.65 trillion to R3.06 trillion in 2015.
Real GDP per capita is 33% higher, from R42,386 per person, to R56,343 in 2015
Disposable income has increased by 42%, from R23,686 to R33,660 in 2015.
Inflation has dropped from 9% in 1994 to 4.6% in 2015.
The budget deficit has decreased from 7.1% of GDP to 2.9% of GDP in 2015.
Despite high unemployment, more people are taking part in the economy, with 58.1% market participation in 2015, up from only 47.7% in 1994.
More than double the amount of black Africans are employed in 2015 than in 1994.
Living conditions

There are fewer informal homes in 2015 than in 1994, with a 131.3% increase in formal homes.
People with access to electricity has increased for cooking (228%), lighting (192%) and heating (58%) – while access to water has more than doubled (110%) and access to toilets has also increased significantly (151%).
The number of low income households (LSM 1-3) has decreased significantly – showing a move to higher income homes (LSM 4-7 and LSM 8-10).
The middle class has increased significantly – almost doubling since 1994.
Households living in extreme poverty has been been reduced from 525 of the black African population in 2002, to 20% in 2015.
Education

A higher proportion of black South African students is passing than ever before – 67.4% in 2015, versus 49% in 1994.
More students are attending university than ever before – with 807,000 students enrolled in 2015, versus 385,200 in 1994.
Black South African students now make up the majority of students (70.1%) compared to only 20% in the late 1980s, and over 45% in the mid 90s.
There are more students studying towards a science, engineering or technology degree now than ever before (55,574 students in 2015, versus only 20,610 in 1994).
Health

The rate of new HIV infections since the turn of the millennium has effectively halved, with 321,500 new infections in 2015, compared to 646,800 in 1999.
The rate of still births has declined by 22% since 2001.
There are more professional nurses – and those enrolled to be nurses – than ever before. Growth of 50% and 115% respectively between 1998 and 2015.
There are 80% more GPs and 29% more specialists practicing in the public sector since 2000.
Crime and security

South Africa’s murder rate has halved since 1994/95 – from a rate of 68 murders per 100,000 population, to 34 per 100,000 population in 2015.
“The list of socio-economic successes set out in this report is far from exhaustive. Rather, it lists examples of just
some of the things that have gone right since 1994,” the IRR said.

“This makes the point that as we face the future, we must not lose sight of the fact that life in South Africa today is better than it was twenty years ago.”

You obviously don’t beat them in the basics of electricity, water, education, health, roads, railways, recreational space etc. Otherwise you will seat your asss down in Nigeria and they will flock to you.
Do you understand that

The biggest question Nigerians should ask themselves, is why black South Africans are not being found roaming in other African countries looking for greener pastures..

CSTR2:

If I tear you slap.

Who be your mate for igboland.?
See yeye talk.

And what is Nigeria doing to prevent Igbos from going away? You be mumu
Africans and the fear factor. This is why you will never develop. Europe is filled with numerous prosperous small countries and here you are advocating for a non working humongous nation , just proud cos you are tech leader in a blind continent . Smh. Break up Nigeria and each part determines her destiny .

dandollar1:
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.

I'm happy that nairaland is not lost after 7years.... Am VandalZA one of the revolutionarist of nairaland.

So what have they produced ? Can you guys stop this nonsense. Country like Japan will be so ashamed

Teebilion:
As expected , I know a lot of people will see the bad aspect of this news , but the news is a good one , it means we are getting there

did I hear you say getting there? In 21 century u still have worst roads , no steady light , no good hospital, unemployment is at 23.1 so please in which sector are u getting better ?

Lagos is not even the best in Nigeria.

oluwatosink:
Good one.


Lagos remain the best city in Africa..

Quite simple.
You guys can't afford the travelling fees. I was beyond shocked when I saw some South Africans on Twitter rejoicing when they heard Nigeria now offers "Free visa to Africans"

They were already asking when the program commences and if the visa allows them to work.

And i'm like, Damn! Aren't these the people who beat their chest about how awesome and intoxicating their country is?

But then, I remember, people do far more worse for clout.
