Cool Let's be positive about our own continent, no one else will.

Karlovych:
They chose Nepa bill certificate over PhD. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

TMKsouth:
Please look at these figures from 2014 in South Africa and tell me if it's not progress. This survey doesn't even touch on economic infrastructure, just social infrastructure.

Bear in mind the ANC is a black organisation, because you've lost faith in the black man.

PoliteActivist:
More than half the country support him. How you deal with that?

TMKsouth:
The blacks have taken over afro-pessimism ownership, the whites no longer have to lift a finger.

mofedamijo:
Lol..... Apparently, you know nothing about South Africa. The most sophisticated infrastructure in South Africa today were built post apartheid.

Today, South Africa is planning a Smart City never seen before..... Keep your ignorance to yourself.

MrFlavvor:
Sad reality we live.

mofedamijo:
You lack information bro. The blacks in South Africa are doing exploits. Most of the latest and sophisticated architectural designs and buildings in South Africa are built by the blacks 100%. Yes, Sourh Africa ia having corruption issues like every other country in the world. However, to say the whites alone built South Africa is pure ignorance.

mofedamijo:
Lol..... South Africa doesn't even have Chinese input on any of their infrastructure. Murray & Roberts, a South African company, designed and built Guatrain not a chinese company.

Swaziland, despite a small country links with South Africa to build her infrastructures. So keep such countries away from your mention.

TMKsouth:
Everybody knows the ANC, EFF, IFP, etc are black parties and DA & FF+ are white parties, one doesn't need official stats for that.

You've decided to diss a country u know nothing about by calling it a sh*thole, so I had thought you knew everything about SA to make such confident assertions. You should be quoting me the racial stats from the "Department of Equality" yourself since you're Mr know-it-all.

I'm a South African so I don't know why you're arguing with me on this. mofedamijo lives in SA so he also knows more than you about the state of the country.

TMKsouth:
There are only 2 white parties in SA's parliament and collectively they have 94 members out of a 400 member chamber. The biggest white party itself, the DA, has a third black members or so.

mofedamijo:
What the crap..... South Africans, Seychelles, Rwandans, Namibians etc built and are still building their country, 98% of yhe workers are citizens. So I don't understand what your point is.
You're probably misinformed or uninformed.

Have a nice day.

TMKsouth:
SA parliament is 80% black and the ruling ANC party which sets the agenda in parliament is 95% black.

mofedamijo:
He is an ignorant idiot. The problem with so many Africans is inferiority complex. So many African cities are better than so many European, American and Asian cities, yet, they keep belittling the whole African continent.

TMKsouth:
But SA government has been black for 27 years and this thread is about lawmakers attending sessions. In SA the black govt and parliament ensured business returned to normal functions just weeks into the pandemic, unlike Nigerian lawmakers who have only sat for 14 days in a year.

You said black men were useless and this shows you are wrong.

TMKsouth:
SA parliament returned to work a week after the first 3-week lockdown, using Zoom. So that guy is clearly an uninformed Afro-pessimist.

OSDD:
We deserve them and it is good like that..... I hope they only have 6 sittings in another 3 months, we need this country to grow and they are the way forward.
Abeg make dem go secure the bag, it is not easy to sit and do nothing and still collect millions.

God bless Nigeria, God bless the President, God bless the HoA and HoR.. They are really a blessing in disguise.

mofedamijo:
Black people?? Rwanda, Seychelles, South Africa, Namibia...... Just to name a few. What exactly is your point?? Blame your country and leave others.

Akpuobi1:
Continue deceiving yourself.

What data, KPIs, shows that the country will finally be great?

Emekaonline:
Anytime anything with Tinubu is mentioned, you guys always rush to comment because of your hatred. Why do we have so many tribal fools in this country. You complain about Tinubu either talking or not talking but dont have brain to ask a question here. The question is what has your brother Ipob sympathizer, the Peter Obi of China said concerning this issue? He is always silent as usual and you will never call him out. You can see that many of you are nothing but tribal bigots. His silence on this does not bother you but others. What a shame!

Draslo:
You and millions of Nigerians have no direct evidence to this. You all just regurgitate the same trash you're fed. In any case, he's the best governor to come out of Nigeria. Argue with your keypad.

LiteratureClass:
I did a little research on Greenfield University after the kidnap and killing of three of their students by bandits. May God comfort the school management and the parents of those students . Below is their school fees structure:

You are right, but all can not be either businessman or woman. People must still be employed by someone.

We so much believe in God to do almost everything for us. Even simplest thing like good governance we will need God to come and do it for us ... ediots

Rossinkup:
You are a complete dunce and ignoramus.

You don't impose high tariffs to discourage low quality imports.

You simply impose QUALITY STANDARDS via legislation and regulation. Products which fail those standards are barred from entry into your market. That is how it is done.

You don't even qualify to be in this discussion or debate, because you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about how international trade, development, and industrialisation work.

You need to go and spend some time reading up on these issues, before you can participate.



Dunce, ALL AFRICA is affected by the tariffs for African manufactured goods. It is the reason Ghana and Ivory Coast, the world's largest cocoa producers, earn only 6 billion dollars from the 100 billion dollar chocolate industry.

The minute they try to set up chocolate factories to export processed cocoa, they are met with sky high tariffs which make the products uncompetitive, and so have no choice but to export the cocoa raw.

This is the case with EVERY other African natural resource for which processing is attempted in Africa. It was the reason the USA set up AGOA, which removes tariffs on selected African manufactured goods, and this has helped several African nations export manufactured goods to the US. But the US is only 20% of the world economy, so their efforts are insufficient. ALL the world must remove tariffs on African manufactured goods and create a level playing field for EVERYONE.



Again it is against AFRICA as a whole, not ''Nigeria'', you wingbat, and AFRICA has responded by creating the intra-African free trade zone, which should see intra-continental trade boosted significantly in the coming years.

It will not be a quick transformation, because of the relatively low purchasing power on the continent, and other issues relating to infrastructure, etc, but it will set the ball rolling.

Rossinkup:
Dumbo, China became a manufacturing powerhouse by doing what YOU will not accept in Nigeria. They literally banned ALL IMPORTS for 3 decades, their middle classes were forced to ride bicycles when everyone else around the world were driving cars, and all this was enforced by BRUTAL DICTATORSHIP and absolute suppression of civil rights, which continues till today.

Millions of dissidents were jailed and killed in the process, and political prisoners abound there till today.

Are YOU willing to forego all your rights from now till the year 2060 to become self sufficient in manufacturing like China? if not, then SHUT UP.




Dumbo, The 4 'Asian Tigers' were deliberately chosen by the victorious allies after WW2 to serve as capitalist bulwarks against Soviet communism in the Asia pacific, and were given multiple interest free loans, outright monetary grants, massive technology transfer, and most importantly free, unrestrained access to European and US markets for their finished goods. This allowed them to leapfrog in industrialisation in 30 years.

That their NEIGHBOURS - Bhutan, Cambodia, Philippines, Myanmar (Burma), Sri lanka, Bangladesh etc are still grossly underdeveloped, worse than many African countries, shows you just how ARTIFICIAL and EXTERNALLY GENERATED their industrialisation was.



India has joined WHAT, exactly?

Firstly there was never any designation of India as a permanent raw material source, so their products are not subject to the high tariffs charged for African manufactures, and secondly, MANY COUNTRIES IN AFRICA HAVE HIGHER LIVING STANDARDS THAN INDIA.

So I've no idea where you are going with that.

You also seem to be GROSSLY IGNORANT of the PROGRESS that Africa has made in the last 30 years.

- Today Africa has the fastest growing middle class in the world.

- 6 of the world's 10 fastest growing economies are in Africa.

- ''The number of middle class Africans has tripled over the last 30 years to 313 million people, or more than 34% of the continent’s population, according to a new report from the African Development Bank (AfDB). The reasons for the increase in size and purchasing power of the African middle class include strong economic growth, and a move towards a stable, salaried job culture and away from traditional agricultural activities.''

https://www.afdb.org/fr/news-and-events/africas-middle-class-triples-to-more-than-310m-over-past-30-years-due-to-economic-growth-and-rising-job-culture-reports-afdb-7986




Dumbo, I never mentioned 'slave trade', and trade barriers (sky high tariffs) are not ''a century ago''. They exist till today. If you had a working brain and were not a school dropout drowning in self-hatred and ignorance, you would grasp these easy things I typed.



The Middle East and 'Asia' ALSO have set up barriers to manufactured African imports. It is a WORLDWIDE thing, not just a western thing. You cannot fast track industrialisation by ''serving Africa first'' because of low purchasing power on the continent. You need the rich world to buy your manufactured goods, or you cannot generate the capital to see you industrialise rapidly.



I'll just take this pile of vomit and throw it in the trash where it belongs.

Emancipate yourself from self-hatred and inferiority complex. Ignorant little dunce.

Doradorwa:
You made little sense in your post sir. It's rotten and smell of sentiments.
