dutch which forms a major component of afrikaans is European. no European settlers no Afrikaans. Unlike Swahili which though having some arabic components is largely a fusion of various indigenous african languages

jln115:
Boer people are descendents of settlers yes... But there culture, Language, nationhood were all developed in South Africa and is unique to South Africa..... Hence why you don't get Boere anywhere but in SA

TayserMahrii:
90 - 95 % of Afrikaans is Dutch with the rest being african. 90 - 95 % of Swahili is Bantu with a little Arabic.
We don't say Swahili is native to Asia. Similarly, Afrikaans, being a variant of Dutch is native to Europe... not Africa wherefrom only a few words were borrowed. I know this touches your fiber But, Afrikaans is NOT indigenous to Africa. Never was, never will be Seriously, this isn't even debatable except in SA. We don't have to go back to the same debates we had before...invaders and all that

Tasha I'm shocked for once I agree with you

people in uganda speak swahili and they are not immigrants from tanzania or kenya

i brought up apartheid in passing as the reason why people in those countries you mentioned speak afrikaans. caucasian families especially boers who left south africa around the time the ANC took over

jln115:
They are simply emigrants just like the emigrants from Tanzania, Kenya ect ect that speak swahili abroad.

don't know why you have to bring apartheid in to the mix.

And fyi out of all the ethnic groups/tribes in SA Afrikaners are statistically the group that is least likely to emigrate.

For every 10 SAns that emigrate 2 are white.... And of that 2 only 0.1 is of Afrikaner decent.

Thus for every 10 South Africans that emigrate only 0.1 of that 10 is Afrikaans

ok

Austine1212:
Tswana peeps are light skinned like coloreds

you know those speakers are south africans who ran to those countries when apartheid ended as well dutch people right?

jln115:
Well I just showed you that Afrikaans is spoken on more than one continent.... Also what about Afrikaans being spoken in Australia, New Zealand, USA, Europe ect ect?

Also it was 600 families that fled to Argentina more than a 100 years ago

stop confusing yourself on what you don't know. Ibadan is a city in Oyo state. Osun is a state. Other than benin republic on her western border Lagos is completely surrounded by Ogun state. Lagos metro extends to parts of Ogun state.

rvp20182:
Okay sounds pendantic. For me Lagos city are those Islands plus mainland. Greater Lagos or Lagos metro or Lagos state is when you go inward towards Osun (right) Ibadan and etc.

ok was thinking you from cape town. based on the picture you posted i was guessing you were coloured

Austine1212:
Nope northwest province

i never argued against the bold just wanted to highlight how much progress our movie industry has made

Austine1212:
Nigeria has potential, due to population n all im not denying that

But for now SA trumps it


Nigeria will have bigger GDP, with lower per capita just like india

of course they are born liars led by oLIAR odinga

68816419:
Really,so u mean your cabinet secretary is lying ?

[quote author=Austine1212 post=90806120][/quote]you from western cape?

just say they dont how to make their investments work out instead of branding the industry a bad investment.

Multichoice is/has invested heavily in our sector so i don't get this your bad investment gist. Plus the industry is still fairly young compared to heavyweights like hollywood and bollywood despite that they have performed decently with little or no government support. You might continue your "bad market" claim but any smart investor knows it's a potential money spinner

Austine1212:
200m with an entertainment industry below $10b

Ever heard of what we call bad investment?

Lol SA has done couple of those in Nigeria

Austine1212:
Nollywod is not a big money draw

according to you? lol something that contributes to Nigeria's GDP big time

https://www.pwc.com/ng/en/publications/spotlight-the-nigerian-film-industry.html

not a big money draw but netflix is investing in it

not a big money draw but Canal + French media giant acquired Nigerian movie streaming company irokotv last year

forgiveness:
Just imagine the same way we built 300 km sgr railway in 4 years.

you are shocked to silence?

jln115:
What?

keep it coming i'm thirsty

gallivant:
Keep heckling on the fence.

yes your movies and tv series are top quality but in terms of global recognition and reach Nigeria movies are to be reckoned with.

If you talk about the production quality yes you can say we are not there yet but as cultural influence give it to Nigerian movies. go to most sub-saharan countries you will see nigerian movies. a nigerian movie streaming company called iroko tv can be found in east african countries like kenya and tanzania

Austine1212:
In case you do not know, SA is far ahead

SA has world wide chart toppers already

Queen Sono

Blood and water

With both series up for second seasons

precisely what I mean the manager is going beyond his stated duties to ensure our national team players are in tip top shape. in the past when players like anichebe and Obasi were injured they complained of being totally neglected and abandoned. under rohr at least I've heard of him also sending the trainer to Ebuehi apart from also visiting players struggling with game time

TheSuperNerd:
The trainer sent is being paid by Rohr himself. Not the NFF. Just for more clarity.

Uzoho

Aina Ekong Omeruo Collins


Ndidi Azeez

Iwobi


Chukwueze Moses Simon

Osimhen


4-2-1-3 formation

Joebie:
Let's play this game. Name your best SE XI (and preferred formation) and I will build a best XI based on the players that gets most mentions. For some reason, Osimhen's image cannot be added.

exactly! then some analysts will be moaning that rohr is just collecting free money. the trainer he now sent was it on the bill of the NFF? little things like this matter at least players who got injured and recovered won't in the future say they were abandoned

Truidstar:
Which local Coach will send a trainer to any of our players who is injured? Just Asking.

keep barking

gallivant:
Shut up. You have nothing in your little brain. Every one of your last 30 posts you are just heckling and giving out likes like a virtual prostitute. Post sometuing, even pictures. Dont be useless in life.

i'm busy doing something called a JOB! you should try it sometime. i don't leave and sleep on this thread. if you are unemployed just say so. I'm sure Seun will be nice enough to hire you

gallivant:
Post something meaningful and stop heckling like a baboon on the fence.

my vriend more evidence of Nigeria's dominance in the entertainment sector

gallivant:
Do you ever post anything meaningful other than heckling on the fence? Just shut up fool.

slowpoke you had better go back to your kibera whatsapp group or better still go back to your regular job of gluing your lips to rvps behind when he needs back up

lol audio development

Abohboy:
I can easily see empty land in the distance I thought Nairobi was a massive city, with full development. Audio giants of development.

Annael:
Oh dear Slum boy
See who is Magufooli here!?
I told you whatever you talk about Tanzania give us evidences. Don't just mention Tundu Lisu.
You are convincing me that you are Liar Odinga

you too can testify

obaaderemi:
This long piece all because we identified you as the resident liar of the thread? Sorry, I can't read this nonsense.

a real oLIAR odinga

rvp2018:
Slum consists of 2% of Nairobi's built area - 5% of Nairobi landmass. Those are stubborn facts. Lagos like almost all Nigeria Cities except parts of Abuja are INTEGRATED SLUMS.

stop repeating lies. your capital has the largest slums in the world FACT!

Abohboy:
You said you were going to show us the modern new Mombasa airport we have not seen anything we’re still waiting for you to show us this amazing airport that beats anything in Nigeria. Shma even admitted it our airport outsmarts your airport, almost all of our airports are better than yours. And that’s fact.

dinosaurs will resurrect and begin to Fly before that happens

forgiveness:
Chaiiiii! The airport be like class.

ajangbadi comprehensive high school

praying for Awoniyi recover and get back to doing your stuff on the pitch champ!

Everybody will agree that john terry is world class bro

Hazard is 50/50

cc Raumdueter

Neobulletzz:
Lmao which kind talk be this one, you are not convinced Terry, Hazard are world class. What else do you need to be convinced

I consider John Terry world class but not many people would agree. As for Eden Hazard he is very good but for me personally I don't consider him world class because I don't think he has done enough over a period of time
