Its actually funny how someone can think of comparing south Africa with a shithole Godforsaken country like Nigeria.


Those guys beat this zoo in all ramifications.

While I agree with you that South Africa is way ahead of Nigeria, I think some of the points you raised to support your claim are quite exaggerated.

1. Recently (Although not very recently), south africa's power generation and distribution company, ESKOM have been facing a lot of challenges in the electricity sector. Hence, it's not business as usual with some province experiencing up to 4 hours of load shedding everyday.

2. There are metered taxis in south africa. They also refer to those buses as taxis sometimes.

3. I have not seen anyone hawk on the street but there are open markets everywhere.

4. They have a name for their villages, unfortunately I cant remember now. Trust me, some of those villages dont have light and good roads.

5. There are police check points but not as common as what we see on our roads here.

6. The weather can be very cold during winter nights. Some areas get to -2°c in the night.

The truth is SA have their issues and they are very serious ones.

That being said, I really envy quite a lot of things about SA and sometimes I wonder how unlucky they are to be classified as a part of Africa.

1. The university system: They have the best universities in Africa. They have 2 schools in the top 300 on the world. At a time, UCT was in the first 100 world universities.

2. I also love the evertthing about Capetown. From the airport down to the city, there are only a few cities in the world that can match the mother city.

3. If you are a fashion freak, there's literally a store for every designer brand you can think of.

Townships?

I've just stayed in South Africa for some time and I noticed how ahead they are than Nigeria

1) They have 24/7 electricity,if there is going to be power outage, they will let you know on time and when it will be back ( not always less than 40 minutes) and rarely occurs
2) They have good roads, I didn't notice any potholes since my stay there.
3) They have quality education, the structure of their universities is lovely, even the students area make sense, like Europe settings. Kai, I just remember unn..chai. Most importantly nothing like ASUU strike.
4) There were no taxis , only buses and they have brt lanes organized movement.
5) No street trading on the roads
6) No wet or open market, only malls
7) There are traffic lights everywhere,( they call it robot here) and everyone obeys it because camera is watching)
They have a functional credit facility system, their citizens are entitled to buy goods on loan so far you have I'd number
9) they have what they call RDP houses for their citizens, HOUSE for FREE!
10) Even the roads in their villages are tarred , everywhere
11) Nothing like roadside mechanics, everybody takes his cars to the manufacturer workshop every 10,000km, it's a must.
12) I can count the number of times I saw police, nothing like checkpoint on the whole road, I mean crossing different towns, I couldn't believe it.
I remembered pH to Owerri where they are over 150 checkpoints.
13) Their policemen don't carry ak rifles, just pistol and radio
14) Their government healthcare is absolutely free


Additional observations
° It's common to see diesel cars here, petrol is expensive here
°The weather is just cool, I love this, not too extreme and harsh
°I didn't see any '05 corolla or Camry muscle or spider, I didn't see even lexus es350 that's reigning in Nigeria, just fords, Benz,BMW,Kia, and they mostly drive small cars even the whites too. No much fast life.
°People smoke cigarettes on the streets more, white women especially , maybe due to the weather

Interesting observation....with slight exaggerations here and there.

Anyway,I think South Africa should be enjoyed for what it is.It should not be compared to Nigerian in any shape or form because the two countries are not even in the same galaxy if we talking development.

Raph82:
God punish awolowo and his colleagues who fought for early independence for Nigeria just because of their selfish interest (to become leaders), had it been they let things be as they were, those whites would have turned Nigeria to modern day Japan before thinking of taking over from the whites. That was what helped SA. Those whites had developed SA to good standard before Mandela and co fought for power shift.

Pierohandsome:
The only thing African about South Africa ,is the Africa in their name.

That country is simply a western European country.

IronGalaxy:
[s]hm. Even our African rituals are apparently"western"..lol. the idiocy of this forum [/s]

Pierohandsome:
Ewu!

We are talking about development this mumu is talking of ritual.

And who told you the Americans and Europeans don't do rituals too. Ozuo

Solutions I can offer to Nigeria.

~Digitalize(link) all vehicles plate number to vehicle owner account number. Then mount censors in every KM of roads. Any infringement of traffic rules or wrong packing, the account is debited immediately.

[Impact] Ordeliness will be restored on our roads.

~Set up tax force/Data bank to catch those who litter our roads. Fine defaulters heavily and subject them to community service.

[Impact] our environment with wear beauty.

~Crackdown on roadside seller and no indiscriminate display of billboards. Any object that trespasses our pedestrian path should be confiscated.

~The federal/state government should build just three model nursery/secondary schools in the three senatorial districts in their state.

~All other infrastructures can wait till the FG completes power infrastructure no matter what it will cost. States should be given right to generate and use her own power too.

~ Topnotch ICT centers should be built in all the states (TOPNOTCH). Then innovation competition set up with catchy prize. Say 90mil. N/B, the competition should be LG level followed by state then federal. Private individuals and school can register to participate. The participants should camp and fed like BBN housemates till elimination. The winner can proceed to nxt level till federal level.

~Good planning of cities and adherence to the plan.

~Good governance and kicking corruption out should be encouraged.


With these, every other sectors will fall in place sooner than we thought.

zhike:


My friend I agree that whites created good foundation for South African Govt.

Pls note that Good roads, electricity to people, piped water to houses, big malls, hospitals, schools, universities were created by black governments after 1994.

IronGalaxy:
You said EVERYTHING in South Africa is WESTERN which is not possible in an African country. Our African practices and rituals can't be western.

Secondly, what is this thing called "white development" please elaborate on that..I have a feeling you don't know what you're talking about.

selemempe:
this dude again. It's only people who don't know the history of South Africa you will deceive
As at 1960 there were only 400 black south Africans in university. By then, Nigeria was already an independent country with two universities.
By 1980, the Afrikaans government had already finished plans to move you unproductive negroes into 'Bantusans' so they can finally remove you guys from their sights. By then Nigeria was already the 3rd largest economy in Africa after Egypt and south Africa.
Seeing you Bantu south Africans acting like you built south Africa while the rest of Africa was sleeping boils my blood
The pictures below is south Africa in the 80s. It was more developed than Los Angeles as at then and it wasn't built by you Bantustans
