IronGalaxy: Those "Zombies" are still better off than you, virtually in all indices.. let it sink in.. You're essentially lagging behind the ZOmbies, so what does that make you? This toxic envy is not healthy
in all standards of living black South Africa is only above Sierra Leone, South Sudan and Afghanistan. You want proof?
IronGalaxy: You're aware that white South Africans make up 7% of the population, right? And not all of them are educated, there are rural Afrikaners who can't even speak English properly, let's also count them out
Even if all whites were all educated, the figure would still not be 95%
Black South Africans make up 80% of the SA population.. South Africa is effectively a black country
Yes unemployment is a big issue among Black South Africans, and yet this demographic still has bigger spending power than Nigeria
if wealth disparity is 90/10 with 10 % id the population controlling all the wealth , South Africa is effectively a white country economically and a black country by headcount of zombies. Also South Africa has officially ozer 12 languages and the ability to speak or write these dead languages is what your corrupt Bantu government put as literacy level for a third world country like South Africa.
Let me ask, which other country in the world has a 95% literacy rate bit also has its pass park set at 30%? The irony, only Zulus.
Please 64% if black South Africans are in the upper poverty line, so which spending powers do they have apert form that of South Sudan?
you know 1 in 2 black South Africans are unemployed right?
You said literacy level in South Africa is 90% . But please can you stop counting Botha's generation and household. I'm talking about you and your don Dadas
See the full story below. Black south Africans can't read or write that's why your pass mark is 30% deliberately lowered to cope with the rest of Africa.
IronGalaxy: Typical Nigerian, Lol.. Bragging over billionaires while y'all trapped in poverty.. make it make sense.. y'all don't have proper drinking water, or roads, or healthcare, electricity, infrastructure but here you're are bragging off another man's (Dangote) pockets misplaced priorities as usual, I saw Burna Boy driving a McLaren on a road filled with sewage in Lagos the other day, and i just had to laugh.. Your "billionaires" can't even live like a billionaire lifestyle in that cave
South Africa doesn't even have one back billionaire, btw
Yeah, 30% passmark, but your overall literacy rate is 60% while South Africa's is 90+ ...Plus, the country with the highest number of out-of-school children is...you guessed it!
The biggest number of black US dollar millionaires are from where again? The biggest black middle class? When did you gain independence again? In the 60s, you should be bragging about high-speed trains like Gautrain and spaghetti highways, not people's private wealth
Are you aware that apart from South Sudan, Afghanistan and Sierra Leone, Black south Africans are the poorest demographic in the world?
IronGalaxy: The Black South African, your usual target, is still better than an average Nigerian in all indices, be it.. poverty rates, literacy, access to infrastructure, access to healthcare, standard of living access to clean water and sanitation access to electricity life expectancy etc etc
You have very legitimate reasons to be envious, my friend
One post, 3 quotes?
Don't soak that pillow with tears. I thought you did all the crying 400 years ago
IronGalaxy: Lol, the usual diatribe, I answered you ions ago... You envy whats better than yours or what you perceive to be better than you and South Africa is remarkably better country than Nigeria virtually in all indices and that's the crux of your hate and envy..
and now the effeminate butthurt cries.
As a black man or person of colour in South Africa how are you fairing? One black billionaire since Jesus died for you.
7.2 percent whites owning 90% of the wealth. There are more female white millionaires in South Africa than there are millionaires of both male and female blacks.
After 400 years of apartheid slavery majority of black south Africans are still having adaptation issues, socially offended and intellectually maligned.
Let's kill the Boers is a Congressional Song in your legislative buildings.
Listen, I can go on and on but there's a reason foreign blacks are servicing your national economy while the native blacks wait for BEE and food stamps with you squatting here permanently for 10 years running.
IronGalaxy: You're the one envious of SA arent you? You should be telling me..
Zulu, if Bantu education taught you anything, you should know burden of proof is on he who makes the claim or assertion. It's on you. But then, your national pass mark is still 30%, nationally adjusted so you can keep pace with the rest of the world.
So, Ama kwerekwere, tell me why I should be envious of you when it's 10/90 and don-dada never voted.
This article, if true, seeks to blame everyone but Kanu himself who is proud, arrogant, impulsive and utterly rude.
There are many people who assumed that Kanu opted for self-representation to speed up his detention to Kuje prison as he was tired of being confined at the DSS.
IronGalaxy: Lol, Absolutely no one excepted you to say anything remotely positive about South Africa boss, so quit disguising your hate as some legitimate analysis
A Group of 20 (G20) leaders' summit in South Africa adopted a declaration addressing the climate crisis and other global challenges on Saturday after it was drafted without U.S. input in a move a White House official called "shameful".
The declaration, using language to which Washington has been opposed, "can't be renegotiated," South African President Cyril Ramaphosa's spokesperson told reporters, reflecting strains between Pretoria and the Trump administration over the event.
"We had the entire year of working towards this adoption and the past week has been quite intense," spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said.
Ramaphosa, host of this weekend's gathering of Group of 20 leaders in Johannesburg, had earlier said there was "overwhelming consensus" for a summit declaration. But at the last minute Argentina, whose far-right President Javier Milei is a close ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, quit the negotiations right before the envoys were about to adopt the draft text, South African officials said.
"Argentina, although it cannot endorse the declaration ... remains fully committed to the spirit of cooperation that has defined the G20 since its conception," its foreign minister Pablo Quirno said at the summit. Ramaphosa noted this, but went ahead with it anyway.
In explanation, Quirno said Argentina was concerned about how the document referred to geopolitical issues. "Specifically it addresses the longstanding Middle East conflict in a manner that fails to capture its full complexity," he said. The document mentions the conflict once, saying members agree to work for a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace in ... the Occupied Palestinian Territory".
DECLARATION MENTIONS CLIMATE CHANGE
Envoys from the G20 - which brings together the world's major economies - drew up a draft leaders' declaration on Friday without U.S. involvement, four sources familiar with the matter said.
“It is a longstanding G20 tradition to issue only consensus deliverables, and it is shameful that the South African government is now trying to depart from this standard practice," a senior Trump administration official said on Friday.
The declaration used the kind of language long disliked by the U.S. administration: stressing the seriousness of climate change and the need to better adapt to it, praising ambitious targets to boost renewable energy and noting the punishing levels of debt service suffered by poor countries.
The mention of climate change was a snub to Trump, who doubts the scientific consensus that global warming is caused by human activities. U.S. officials had indicated they would oppose any reference to it in the declaration.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In opening remarks to the summit, Ramaphosa said: "We should not allow anything to diminish the value, the stature and the impact of the first African G20 presidency". His bold tone was a striking contrast to his subdued decorum during his visit to the White House in May, in which he endured Trump repeating a false claim that there was a genocide of white farmers in South Africa, brushing aside Ramaphosa's efforts to correct his facts.
Trump said U.S. officials would not attend the summit because of allegations, widely discredited, that the host country's Black majority government persecutes its white minority.
TRUMP REJECTS SOUTH AFRICA'S G20 AGENDA
The summit came at a time of heightened tensions between world powers over Russia's war in Ukraine and fraught climate negotiations at the COP30 in Brazil.
"While the G20 diversity sometimes presents challenges, it also underscores the importance of finding common ground," Japan Cabinet Public Affairs Secretary Maki Kobayashi told Reuters.
Commenting on Argentina's absence from the final envoy meeting to agree on the text, Magwenya said: "Argentina (had) been participating quite meaningfully ... in all the deliberations," then never showed up to endorse the declaration on Friday. He added: "We have what we call sufficient consensus."
The U.S. president had also rejected the host nation's agenda of promoting solidarity and helping developing nations adapt to weather disasters, transition to clean energy and cut their excessive debt costs.
"This G20 is not about the U.S.", South African Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola told public broadcaster SABC. "We are all equal members of the G20. What it means is that we need to take a decision. Those of us who are here have decided this is where the world must go."
But in a sign of the many geopolitical fissures underlying the agreed text, EU Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen warned in a speech about the "the weaponisation of dependencies" which she said "only creates losers".
This was an apparent veiled reference to China's export curbs on rare earths vital for the world's energy transition, as well as defence and digital technology.
The United States will host the G20 in 2026 and Ramaphosa said he would have to hand over the rotating presidency to an "empty chair". The South African presidency on Saturday reiterated its rejection of a U.S. offer to send the U.S. charge d'affaires for the G20 handover. "The president will not hand over to a junior embassy official the presidency of the G20. It's a breach of protocol that is not going to be accommodated," Magwenya said.
Lamola later said that South Africa would assign a diplomat of the same rank as a charge d'affaires to hand over the G20 presidency at the foreign affairs department.
South Africa always has an inflated perception of its global value and worth.. A country in pieces and is the new Chicago of Africa always in the habit of chewing more than it could bite and pretending all the while to be a global voice.
All due to the failed and weak liberalism pushed out by the EU which makes all countries pretend to be equal.
In all balance, no African country deserves to be in the G20. This is pretentious equality and inclusivity. South Africa's economy is not even up to 1 trillion dollars and she still depends on aids and charities from the US.
VOsimhen144: Somehow I am quite glad that Peter Obi didn't win the last election, because by now Tinubu and his Cohorts would have made life fvcking miserable for him.
Peter Obi will do great in terms of economy but he don’t have the mind to tackle insecurity, we need someone that has strong iron balls like Obasanjo and sani Abacha to tackle insecurity.
Ihejirika almost ended Boko haram until Jonathan was removed and they crawled back out.
tete7000: I can now understand why kanu is not in touch with reality. The family he came from doesn't fare better, they are raising alarm that a convicted individual was relocated to a prison. They ate totally out of touch with reality. If they want him out, let them go to appeal. For now remains a convict serving prison term, a government pikin.
I don't like nnamdi kanu. I think he's the worst thing to happen to Igbos after that civil war.
But he's the man Omokri can never be. He's direct, had some integrity even in leading his silly followers into their graves.
But Omokri is a disgrace and an excuse for humanity with no shame, no integrity and no decency or name.
He's gone down as a hidtler begging for attention and portfolio. And he's still not been recognised by any movement even after offering his bed to successive regimes.
nairalanda1: Black education was wrecked by years of arphateid and something called Bantu education (a lot of black people had to go to other African countries to get a decent education self)
In a way, it backfired on South Africa. Had the arphateid government taken black educaiton serious, it would have made the country far better than it is now.
Racisim is a evil thing. Harms the target and the person doing the targetting.
Streetinvestor2: :pls all SW should declare public holiday and do owambe to celebrate thr victory and trophy over SE.The older generations of SE was not expecting anything different from SW president and judge.
not SW bit all Nigerians including those in the SE not in support of his violence and threats.
Get a developed mind. You're too base and shallow.
This is what the South West have been doing to hold this country hostage since after the civil war.
Lagos is just one of the 36 states of that country but enjoys very devilish , godless monopoly over every other coastal state despite being not the only state sitting across the Atlantic ocean.
Another instance of military lawlessness. It's the police job to apprehend the killer and not for the air force men to be deployed to avenge their colleagues death. These are people misfiring in Sambisa .
And how are military people carrying knives around. Are they expecting violence?
