tomber: Why is everybody suddenly having intrest in Nigeria

doctokwus: U nid serious education& if u av passed thru anykind,u need to repeat d entire class(es).So because dey were murdered in Eggon area by yet to b known assailants,based on an unsubstantiated report makes d eggon responsible?Ur reasoning is pathetic

13volts: According to my source, the convey went into a village located deep inside Eggon tribe to effect arrest of a suspected arms dealer and a traditional witch doctor who are fueling the land dispute btw Eggon tribe & Mada tribe in Nassarawa state. However it was suspected that some one might have tip the Eggon people of the inpending raid, of which an ambush was laid resulting in the death of many.

zetdee: Looking at this link Nigeria's high population should worry any Nigerian. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSBRE9380DH20130409?irpc=932
Nigeria's population is more quantify than quality.

Other than football (though the PSL is rated as the top league in Africa) Nigeria is not at SA level when it comes to sport, judging by last summer's olympic games South Africa is way ahead of Nigeria.

Arts and culture, South Africa has produced world class artist in Music ( jazz, opera, pop, raggea, classical, traditional, house etc. South Africa has produced world class theater productions that have won international awards. Nollywood may produce alot of movies, but it's more quantity than quality, South African movies, soapies, dramas have been nominated and won many international awards. We produce world class television series, many Hollywood movies are produced in South Africa.

South Africa has more than 100 companies operating in Nigeria.

Seun: Many Muslims don't like rule 17.

chino24: My friend if you care to know exactly who I am..I dare you to come to Fed. Sec. Awka that way you will know that Ifeanyi is living on 'Blood Diamond and Fuel Subsidy'. We should learn to celebrate decent, lettered and exposed people internationally like Obi, Soludo, Akunyili, Ezekwesili, etc

Ifeanyi Uba is an epitome of thuggery and unlettered. Anambra the brain box of Nigeria does not deserve to have such a dunce as its leader. I can bet the Ifeanyi cannot write his name talk more of spelling Anambra.

Obi has brought civility, excellence and integrity to Anambra so we do not need a tout in the name of Ifeanyi. Let him continue to share the money..but during election he will receive the shock of his life. We Anambrans are wise people.

andrewza: Population? Yes but it not a advantiage. Far from it.

The availability of labour is high. This could turn to cheap labour due to the competition for jobs therefore leading to faster development due to decreased costs and higher production meaning a higher income.
Higher chance of skilled workers.
Business will have a very large market because of the high and wide variety of demand for goods.
The population will be paying tax. More people means more money for the government which then means that they can build hospitals and school etc.
In war situations the country with the larger population will have the upper hand.

Arts and culture? Never heard any thing about this from a nigerian side. Other than a few books I read in school.

Read up the contribution of Nigerian literature to Africa. Peter Abrahams your best known novelist was inspired by Nigerian writers

Sports? No maybe soccer but that is it. In every other aspect SA sport secien is bigger, better funded and better perfoming.

True but we are better at soccer. Cricket and rugby are not popular sports in africa

Relgion? Your 2 mian groups are trying to kill each other. How is that a good thing.

We have exported our brand of Christianity to South Africa, our mega churches are dominating the south african scene

Nolloy wood may make movies like you breed children. But that dose not mean much. SA make movies and tv serries for the internastiol market.

Nollywood is the third biggest movie industry in the world, nigerian movies sell like hot cake all around the world

Other than popuasltion nigeria has nothing on SA. And in a since that is all we want. South africas local market can not support the output of our industries. We need a large resnably wealthy market. AKA nigeria.

Your biggest exports to nigeria are Mtn and dstv. These companies make more money in nigeria than in the rest of the continent cos of our large population

andrewza: Nigeria played a very small role in liberating SA in the long run.
