sheyie2007: another disaster waiting to happen... drunkards

sheyie2007: your English makes me sick... who the fvck is this dude?, all your arguments are baseless.. graduate my a$$

manny4life: No, majority aren't subsistence farmers. They produce and sell directly to the public or wholesalers. Take for instance poultry farmers, they don't get taxed. Like I've stated a million times, small or mid size farmers ARE NOT taxed, it's the large scale ones who are involved into export say cocoa or cotton or groundnuts are the ones taxed.

Why they are not taxed may perhaps be because we don't have a set tax framework in place for that yet. However, that's not the FG concerns yet, they are trying to move people from small to large scale through other subsidized mechanized farming.

all4naija: Mind you the FDI recipient nations report in Africa put Nigeria ahead of South Africa. What makes Nigeria seems to over-take your country in the near future is its potentials. From population to resources. Your country only has 45 million people in comparison to Nigeria 160 millions, meaning more human potentials(most important of all potentials) than your country's.

The government of Nigeria is working on providing more electricity and involving foreign investors in the sector to build more plans to meet demand. The only problem here is that there are restrain in doing business in Nigeria being a volatile place make the risk worth considering. The electricity being poor is a reason to prove that there is more potential in that industry than in South Africa. Investors are bound to have areas to invest in that sector unlike your country which is already saturated.

It is very clear Nigeria can over-take South Africa if other unforeseeable factors are not going to come up in the near future, like division of the country, war and just to mention a few.

manny4life: Lol...Schooling me? It's more like you getting confused on what you have researched about or confused about what you studied in school... hehe

You just can't get over the simple fact that Nigeria is playing catch and there are greater potentials, then again, coming from someone who proclaims Nigeria's exports ONLY oil, and doesn't have a manufacturing industry, what can I say?

manny4life: What I'm saying is, your brother keeps talking about earnings or revenue is nothing and I simply said, that because the govt DOES NOT tax agricultural small or mid size farmers. If we were to tax million of small/mid size farmers based on their incomes or investment, it wouldn't make it small, would it?

manny4life: What earnings? Seriously you need to quit, please. Your brother needs to call you to order.

Is earnings not revenues govt is getting such as fees, taxes, etc ? That the govt decides not to tax agricultural farmers as regular investment income doesn't make it small, so please quit it. If the govt was to tax EVERY activity in Nigeria, obviously, non-oil revenues will be much higher...

all4naija: Isn't it what South African economy is based on? Spare me the real GDP with little fact. It is clear many factors are left out in the case of Nigeria which by 2025, even without a rebase of the Nigeria economy it's supposed to over-take your country's .

manny4life: Lol, here you go again with your random bullshit... The MAJOR commodity we export is OIL ...LOL

Please heart attack is REAL... See confusion, I pity you...SMH.

Abeg don't disgrace yourself anymore, you're a real shame to economic profession.

In all honesty, don't discuss it any further, you're disgracing yourself.

Abeg don't disgrace yourself anymore, you're a real shame to economic profession.

In all honesty, don't discuss it any further, you're disgracing yourself.

all4naija: Why do you think it is a pipe dream? Is your country among those pushing for the down fall of Nigeria? The resources are there just they are not being utilized. The future has a lot to offer Nigeria but Nigerians are not taking the opportunity. It doesn't mean it can not overtake South Africa that has the world worst inequality.

manny4life: School me? Lol, you need to school your man first.

Well, let me school you as well, since you mentioned GDP, there's the nominal and real GDP. You of all people should know that the real GDP reflects all economic activity that you've mentioned less inflation. So what are you on ranting about exactly?

GDP has four major components, for which you have mentioned most of it's sub categories, again, if the inflation has been adjusted for the nominal, so what are u ranting about?

According to your man's report, our export is indeed greater than our import, so for you to claim Nigeria doesn't export makes me doubt your graduate certification in economics...

manny4life: Apparently you did not study economics in school, so why educate you? Apparently, every nations grows at different rate, after all the U.S. is there with a less than 2% growth rate of it economy, now compare that to China with double digit growth. Then again, I'm not here to educate you, nonetheless, if you need education, I wouldn't mind delivering it FOR FREE.

manny4life: Real nonsense...

I laugh at people people who think they can never be beaten. Let's hope the forecasters are WRONG that Nigeria has a greater chance of overtaking SA by 2020

Arosa: Nonsense!

tim107: Krg28 remove senepe kebaloyi batho ba jo

sheyie2007: now I know you're not current/exposed ,let alone worth arguing with.. it's obvious you're here to riddicle nigerians, even your previous topics suggest that.. my advice, travel outta SA and get exposed... you know nothing..

Welder: @Sheyie2007

Abeg ignore this retards na.

@Bantu, Kgr and other Africans on board.

Disappointing xenophobic comments thus far. No one has control on where they will be born from, rather we have control on the legacy we leave behind. Strive to remove pride and hatred from you, they only reduce you....

sheyie2007: don't make comparisons dimwit, its more bleeped up but investors keep flowing in, nigerians keep making waves and its one of the fastest growing economy in the world. you're stale, kill yourself..

sheyie2007: I love to hit it where it hurts... truth hurts 'ne'?

sheyie2007: you're dry, you can do better

sheyie2007: after zuma, elect a white guy, then I'd be convinced that you're one!

sheyie2007: it's slowing down your brains cells, dimwit.. your responses holds no ground.. arguing like a bot

sheyie2007: proudly tell that to the boers, and we'll see if you make it alive

sheyie2007: LOL.. what do you know, than to eat pap
