obaaderemi:
Why did you then say it like South Africa was right there behind US when Australia is ahead actually?

No, it has no relevance. Stop lying, Mister. I guess you didn't do your fact finding before posting. You never said anything about post- war golf or what you later tried to use,as a lifeline, modern era.

Are you going to discredit the achievements of players like Barnes because they didn't play in the Masters.
It's like saying Argentina won more football world cups than Uruguay simply because Uruguay won in 1930 and 1950. You goofed, man.

I said we have the second most golf World cups behind the USA.... Was I wrong? If I said SA was the second most successful in the golf world cup then you would've had a point, but I didn't say that

I'm still not saying anything about pre or post war, I'm simply stating that since the modern era of which there are 4 majors, SA has won the most major championships after the US.

I think in conjunction with our World Cup record we can safely say SA is second all time in golf... Would you not agree?

Congrats Bro

kabe1:
I don't understand.

So because you're not Nigerian it means you're speaking objectively?

That's funny.

Yes sorry, you are right, NAF is useless!!

KingAzubuike:
I can't even count the amount of times they've bombed IDP centers and you're here talking about investigation and compensation. what Intel do they have to carry out any investigation?
You still don't know how incompetent and dull.the airforce is. The Nigerian military generally is useless but among the 3 arms, airforce is the most useless, less effective and dormant.

US and its allies have killed tons more civilians in Afghanistan............If you look at the actual statistics and the amount of sororities NAF has flown, then you wouldn't be saying they are useless.

Civilian casualties are inevitable in ongoing insurgencies like that of Boko Haram, its just the nature of COIN warfare!


P.S Im Not Nigerian and thus im speaking objectively!

edon21:
FIFA cares. The world cares, thus your opinion is highly insignificant

Nope the world doesn't care..........You only have to look at the viewership to see that!

obaaderemi:
You are tied with Australia and third on the log.

Of course, I am an avid follower of golf. That's why I took you on on the golfing issue.
And as an avid follower of golf, you should know you can't discredit any of the eras of golf. Some would even argue with you that the modern era began long after the 30s while some would put it earlier.
So how could anyone have guessed which period you meant when all you did was 'generalize'?

Just admit you goofed. It won't kill you. Maybe just hurt your pride a little.

Yes Tied 2nd!

Also If you are an avid golf follower you'd understand why most all consider 1934 as the beginning of the modern Era And why it has relevance to my argument!

edon21:
Are you OK at all? We're talking about football. Soccer. .
Nigeria has also won 5 youth world. Cups which is recognized by FIFA
HAS ranked 5th the world
2 times runners up in women's world cup

Nobody cares about Child football

and second is just the 1st loser in my book!!

edon21:
Table tennis has more fans than lawn tennis

Except in terms of actual viewership Tennis is much much much bigger!

edon21:
Is Olympics a regional competition?? .. Use your head.

Ok then 26 gold medal vs 3

So SA wins that to!

edon21:
Table tennis. Nigeria is first in Africa and 8 in d world.
How many gold medals from black sans?? Let's count

so not actual tennis!!! LOL

edon21:
Soccer is more popular than rugby in South Africa.... Fact
Soccer is more popular than rugby or cricket in Africa.... Fact
Nigeria has more achievements in soccer than South Africa both white or black.... Fact
Nigeria has won second 11 times.... Fact
Nigeria has ranked 5th in the world ..... Fact
Nigeria is better than South Africa in tennis... Fact
Nigeria has more foreign based players than South Africa
Nigeria is more popular in the sporting world than South Africa... Fact
South African gold medalists are mostly whites with only 3 blacks
Nigeria has more influence in the sporting world than South Africa... Fact
Without whites achievements, South Africa would be in Mali s level... Fact

South Africa is better in cricket and rugby fact....
Nigeria is better in soccer basketball, tennis ... Fact
Conclusion... Nigeria is better than South Africa in popular sports. This is because the whites have influenced South Africa so much that they perform well only in the sports of their interest.
How many countries play rugby in Africa Vs how many play soccer. .

Yes Nigeria is better in Football.....However globally Nigeria is still sh1t and has won 0 international competitions(continental competitions
dont count)

As for the Bolded? How is Nigeria better in Tennis??

FYI we we take away all the Gold medals won by "white" SAns then SA would still have more gold medals than Nigeria.........Let that sink in

obaaderemi:
So why did you lie before? And on the table South Africa is not 2nd but third. Record of Runner-ups put South Africa in the 3rd and not 3rd.

So, again, why didn't you check well before posting falsehood? You said 2nd overall before.

I said we have won the second most world cups after the USA... Was I wrong?

Again if you were an avid follower golfer you'd realise that I was obviously talking about the modern era of Golf.

obaaderemi:
You claimed South Africa has won more golf world cup than every country except US. You were wrong.

You claimed south Africa has won more golf majors than every other country except US. Again, you were wrong.

-OK Tied 2nd

- Since the modern era of Golf(from 1934) South Africa has won more Major tournaments than any country outside the US!

You are wrong. Now I agree with samorobo's "duplicitous" labelling.

Got banned for posting the PGA link.

We have won it in 65,74,96,01 and 03

that's 5 or in other words second over all behind the US

tylann:
China is good at producing Android phones not iphones

maybe that's because Iphones are marketed and designed by Apple and not China.

Its like saying Germany makes better BMWs than China makes BMWs

kabe1:
Deal with the issues. Recklessness is quite pervasive in the SANDF.

We're talking about a peacetime army, not one at war.

What about this one?

https://mobile.twitter.com/stoneman_o/status/1231634153097105409

This incident is reckless yes hence why it's being investigated, however recklessness is certainly not pervasive in the SANDF....as you claim

Also it doesn't matter if its a peacetime army or not, accidents happen all over the world with every military in the world... Including the Nigerian military.

Lastly your link doesn't work

gallivant:
Chinese products are not comparable in quality to American, Japanese and German products. That's why they are priced less. There is nothing really to argue over.

some products yes but not all.... In terms of mobile phones China is right up there with Apple and Samsung

Kazikazi:
So what does a draft bill say in short? Will they redistribute all lands or just a small portion?

The bill has nothing to do with what lands are being redistributed but rather to allow the constitution to be changed to allow redistribution without compensation.

jteku:
Interesting demonstration by the SAA Rooikat APC driver.

https://www.facebook.com/CarvinH/videos/3540345139369973/

Firstly the Rooikat is not even close to being an APC.... A broad definition would place it as an AFV but to be more specific its a Reconnaissance vehicle. Secondly the SA Army isn't designated SAA that designation is for South African Airways.

Lastly nobody is perfect, you can even youtube army fails and you'll see even more glaring mistakes by militaries from Europe and America it was a simple mistake that is being investigated by the SANDF.

Kazikazi:
How far are you with land reforms in SA?
I didn't know about the huge support of land reform among blacks especially those in informal settlements and rural folks! Even uneducated folks are not left behind?!
67% of total SAns supports land reforms?!

Well if you were poor and uneducated wouldn't you support getting stuff for free?

Anyway a draft bill has been published and awaiting acceptance

you are funny

The argument still holds that a bigger economy with a larger market has the largest retail sector.
Nigeria's population is almost 4 times larger than SA.

That is why say, MTN will make more money in Nigeria than is SA
The story will be the same for everyone else.

Voltwagon will make more money in India than in Germany.
and likewise all German companies.

But MTN doesn't make more money in Nigeria and neither does Nigeria have a larger retail market.... It's all about how much money people spend that's what determines the size of a retail market, yes South Africa has a smaller population but the people are way more wealthy and thus are able to spend alot more, hence why SA has the larger retail market.

And to prove my point Ill use your own example.... The total car sales in Germany were 3.9 million units in 2019.... Indian car sales were 3.3 million in 2019

Volkswagan has a 17.5% market share in Germany and only a 1% market share in India.... So not only is the car market larger in Germany since more people can afford cars in Germany, Volkswagan are selling 20x more cars in Germany than in India

Justnotyou:
AJ can take fury out no doubt, his resume speaks for itself, wilder made several mistakes from his weight change to not trying to take fury out like he did Ortiz but this isn't the last we're seeing of him. Fury Vs AJ should be legendary either way it goes.

lost against a small fat Mexican..... But you think he can take out a 125kg, 206cm giant that moves like super middle weight?? Cool story bro ..... Just my opinion BTW..... Anyway the fight will definitely be legendary!!

Just30:
since you've already stated that larger countries have larger retail sectors
then you understand why SA does not have a larger retail sector than Nigeria.

i brought in Germany and India to give you the modalities for you to understand.

I said normally yes but in Africa, South Africa has the largest retail market .

Also the Indian population is 13 times larger than the population of Germany

While Nigerias population is only 3 and a bit more times larger than SA's.......so not really a comparison... is it?

Just30:
please don't confuse yourself

1.GDP is the measure of all goods and services traded, including debt.
PPP goes further to redefined those goods and services traded to remove currency manipulations so that two countries can be compared.

so everything that GDP measures can be constituted into the retail bracket including debt.

2.You cant have a larger GDP(PPP) without having a larger retail sector.

Dont forget the population factor. Demand and supply 101

That is why India has a larger retail sector than Germany though Germany has a larger formal retail sector than India.

1. That's what I said :

"What GDP ppp really is the measurement of GDP by taking living costs, inflation and exchange rates into account. It basically puts to currencies at equilibrium(hence I said equality)...... It has nothing to do with equity scales"

2. How can you say you studied this sh1t yet you say this? A countries retail sector isnt the is all end all of its GDP..... South Africas retail sector only contributes 12% to gdp.... Finance, manufacturing and trade all have bigger contributions to gdp.

And yes obviously larger countries in general will have larger retail sectors but my argument wasn't India vs Germany it was South Africa vs Nigeria

Also you are confusing retail markets and consumer markets.

Just30:
okay you sound funny
the word is Equity and not equality please
go and grasp the meaning of both.

Exactly, productivity is a percentage of GDP.
The base factor is GDP.

To compare the productivity of two economies, what do you do?

you take their PPP and strike a percentage base on population.
The country with the largest PPP and least population obviously wins.

since we are on the same page on productivity, The you know

GDP ppp has nothing to do with equity scales...its a term you just made up.

What GDP ppp really is the measurement of GDP by taking living costs, inflation and exchange rates into account. It basically puts to currencies at equilibrium(hence I said equality)...... It has nothing to do with equity scales

Also the productivity of an economy is measured using inputs such as labour, capital or other resources ..... In other words a ratio of GDP to hours worked......
It's not the GDP divided by the population..... That would be GDP per capita

Just30:
I studied it too and from this small discussion
i know more than you.

and who said GDP is not the measure of all goods and services?


The US used to be the largest consumer market in the world until China PPP surpassed them.
Thereby making China the largest economy and the largest consumer market.

The reason I said GDP is the measure of all goods and services is because you seem to think having a larger retaile market is equivalent to have a larger GDP.... The fact is for most countries for example SA the retail market only contributes 12% to GDP.

Hence one country can have a larger retail market than another country yet still have a smaller GDP

The above is why I said you dont know anything on the subject

Just30:
PPP puts the productivity of an economy on an equity scale.
Since we all know GDP measures productivity,
what do you think PPP ?

PPP is a measure of productivity without the nonsense of fiat currency manipulation


dumb dumb

equality not equity

And productivity is expressed as a percentage of GDP.... GDP alone does not measure the productivity of an economy but simply the total activity that happens within that economy.

A large economy like that of India or Nigeria isn't nearly as productive as smaller economy like Australia, Singapore or South Africa for example.

But to be fair neither you nor @gallivant know much about the subject

Just30:
Let say i know more than you

USA has more formal retail spaces than China but China has the largest retail market.
Now you see where going.

Except GDP is the value of ALL goods and services not just consumer goods and services as with a retail market.

I studied this sh1t, hence you certainly don't know more than I do!!

Just30:
yes you have a bigger formal retail sector but you dont have the biggest retail sector. Nigeria has the largest retail sector in Africa because it is a consumption economy. A real market economy

Egypt could have been the largest but it doesnt have the kind of labour force Nigeria has.

Bro you don't know how gdp works... Rather leave it to the people that do!!
