Just wondering

If Nigeria balkanizes, which country could take over as the most powerful black nation on earth?

Note that south Africa is not really a country built by blacks and for blacks and their negritude is in doubt.

Could Ethiopia?

Could any of the breakaway republics from Nigeria succeed in doing this?

Could biafra?

Could the yoruba nation team up with their kin in Benin and Togo to create a mega yoruba nation?

I'm thinking of cultural dominance, music and the arts, scientific advancement, economy , military.

Or will the black world have no more giants but become an inconsequential bloc of the world?

Well seeing that Nigeria's giant of Africa title is mainly attributed to its overpopulation and not industrialization,technology and infrastructural development I can confidently affirm that we will never be the giant of Africa.And to be honest we never really cared about this giant ooga-booger-empty chest-beating slogan.

South Africa remains the world most unequal country with the whites at the top of the food chain.

That's why you have a large horde of blacks poverty stricken and ever ready to loot immigrants shops. Majority up to 95% of the 35% unemployed workforce in SA are blacks

U speak as if 50 years of apartheid never occured and that SA was not colonised for over 350 years. I'll blame it on your ignorance. Sorry to burst your bubble but there's been considerable progress since. Not my fault you chose to ignore all the facts I hit u with earlier. I guess they pained u too much to digest them.

theInterpreter:

lol

and so

Dangote a Nigerian is the richest black man in the world
yet Nigeria is poor

I personally consider the word "tribe insultive

How are u gonna compare one man, Dangote, with a community of 300,000 people who are called the world's richest tribe? U said SA blacks would turn the country to Somalia and I'm showing you're dead wrong.

Let me hit u with this again...

newbornmacho:


I'm not sure biafra is really landlocked

biafra is the biggest landlocked place on this earth....
they can't move by sea...they can't move by land because cameroon and midle belt blocked them from moving.....
they can only moved by air

theInterpreter:
hmm

it's good to be optimistic

no..not matter of uptimistic but reality..... only if you can reason deeply, you will understand it.....

Perfectbeing:
Of the top 10 richest men in SA only one is black. What does that tell you?

It's generational wealth, what do u expect? Most of those guys own multinationals established in the early 1900s.

I think hausa/fulani country or yoruba country because hausa/fulani are the largest and strongest in Africa and are good farmers, Yoruba because they might be conning and betrayals but they love technology, agriculture and finance. Plus the evil nig yorubas build sexy war tanks and boats in war state (ogun state) . I like ProForce.

You keep mistaking heading agencies for being the boss. No sir. Our daughter is leading the wto, another daughter is deputy sec gen of the un . Please understand that our greatness lies in our dominance of everything african. Our influence is felt on every nation of the earth. People know Davido more than your au commission leader

Does Davido even pay taxes in Nigeria? I wonder whether you've even benefitted from a single dime of his. Did u miss the part I proved SA's entertainment industry is more than twice as rich as Nigeria's even though we don't have Nollywood or WizKid? Your artists are clearly earning peanuts considering u have 4 times the population of SA

As always u missed the point completely. The guy said Nigeria is the political leader in Africa and I disputed that with African posts. And those posts are contested just as the WTO post is contested. So please be sober when quoting me.

It's since been destigmatized. Watch CNN and see how they use it all the time to describe the divisions in their politics.

certainly IJAW REPUBLIC will take over as the next giant of africa

When Bayelsa is currently bankrupt as I write.

Ikenga Republic is likely to replace Nigeria as the giant of Africa.

If not, then it will be Lower Niger Republic or Biafra

Nigeria was never a giant of africa

The blacks make 80% of the poplulation so it makes sense. the same blacks make the biggest middle class.

prosper87:
Nigeria retaining the epithet ''giant of Africa'' remains a subject of controversy since countries like Angola, Rwanda, Botswana and South Africa appear to be the uprising countries. It depends on what aspect we base the epithet ''giant of africa" on; is it politically, economically, demographically?

Firstly, the title was given to Nigeria in political terms because of her impressive role in the decolonisation of her neighbouring countries. So, let's assume it's for political reasons, because economically, Nigeria isn't the giant we expect.

Honestly, Nigeria is really blessed, and in my next life I'll still want to be a Nigerian, but our leaders and us, the citizens have simply lost focus on the main aim of making Nigeria an advanced nation. Now, other Africans now talk down on Nigeria, especially south Africans. It's alright.

Nigeria remains the political giant of africa....

nonesense
they didn't use it in the same context

when they call the Catalan in Spain a tribe
when they call the Scottish in the UK a tribe

then I will consider accepting it

the Hausa ethnic group has a population of about 55 million
yet they call them a tribe
Yoruba has about 42 million they call us a tribe
what rubbish?
it's only sub Saharan Africa they call us tribe

and don't bring up that Bible stuff

Afrobeats also sounds the same to people not familiar with it, so lame attack. SA is a diverse country translated in movies, so I don't know what you're talking about. Facts show SA artists are richer - that's why they don't run to the West to make it big. Same thing applies to our sportsmen.

Obviously one is blatant racism while the other is subtle. There's recourse for someone calling u a monkey, but tribe is murky waters. So use it too to describe their communities and see how they take it.

I hope u realise apartheid ended 30 years ago and that it was a global struggle - Nigeria's contribution didn't even amount to 10%. The neighbouring countries going all the way to Zambia and Tanzania deserve far more gratitude than u do. As usual Nigeria just vexing.

If u played such a big role against apartheid how come Nigeria didn't speak at Mandela's memorial service and funeral ? Our neighbouring countries, Cuba and Russia spoke. Where was our liberator Nigeria?[/b] Stop overstating your role guys, it's pathetic. You are given accolades - you don't give yourself.

The bolded comment makes you an ingrate . Maybe the white were right all along .even the Tanzania & Zambian s that you said helped were not exempted from your xenophobic madness .You black SA are terrible .

Afrobeats isn't a genre
It's a combination of dozens of ghanian and Nigerian music
SA is translated.....?? meaning?


SA artistes are not richer
Stop talking rubbish
Which artistes exactly?

Did u ever see me attack Africans or condone xenophobic attacks on this forum? That part u highlighted shows clearly I don't have a problem with Zambians and Tanzanians and actually appreciate them.

Believe u me if a majority of South Africans attacked foreigners there would be none left in this country. So use your brain sometimes ok darling.
