people will always flock to countries where there are opportunities,in this continent SA is the place to be....we dont venture outside our country because we are content

please read your post apartheid history.

SOUTH AFRICA LITERALLY AND OFFICIALLY ASKED FOR PROFESSIONALS INTO YOUR COUNTRY. FACT FACT FACT!!!!

you guys are too busy looting shops to read this. how did you think you could fill up all the vacancies after you were reintegrated ?

black south africans do not venture out of Zulu land because they are too lazy to hussle, too incompetent to work and at home, too styless to protect their women.

mzilakazi:
Dreaming yet again. Americans are the most educated in America.

DO NOT LET ME LAUGH IN TSWANA; NIGERIANS ARE THE MOST EDUCATED IN AMERICA. YES MORE EDUCATED THAN THEIR HOSTS.

MOST OF YOUR S.A GUYS HAVE CEASED ARGUING THIS WITH ME IN THE LIGHT OF SHOCKING EVIDENCE.

you want it, i give you , from no other source but America's own CNN and others.

LABAKE....rily does are nice female names 4 u and my brother suggested a nickname 4 u --- BONAVULTURE.......Nigerian wannabe baby

lol.
she sure would ask her Nigerian friends for their meaning.

mzilakazi:
Your economy has dwindled as a result of your poor performing currency. Dangote lost just over $10 billion in few seconds and many of your 20 billionaires were deleted on the list of the rich just in an instance of few minutes everything changed. Your GDP is now comfortably lying far below $450 billion. Don't treat me as if I haven't studied Economics 101.

wrong!!! Nigeria's economy still grows at 5.8% down from 6.8% to 7%. even at the worse oil slump we were hauling out 5% economic output.

Dangote is $16 billion in worth and the kruger park guy is a laughing $6 billion down and your true representative , Patrice motsepe is what , $3 billion?

MduZA:
no dude foreigners are involved in illegal activities that's why they get panelbeatings sometime just to remind them that they are in a foreign country..SA unemployment rate stands on 24%,no wonder why it pains you..there is an excuse in every evil act therefore dont buy those hearsay excuses ..at sometime some south Africans feel that they have to clean their country...those Indians and Chinese in your country,are they selling drugs?

Nope, foreigners are responsible for high murder rate, elder white rape, white farm murders, infant rapes, high inequality (S.A is one of the world's most unequal countries) when are you people ever going to take responsibility for once ?

The Chinese are involved in shady deals including piracy, smuggling and counterfeit. but don't go murdering the Chinese, we allow government agencies to do their work.

unlike savage xenophobic..S.A

MduZA:
people will always flock to countries where there are opportunities,in this continent SA is the place to be....we dont venture outside our country because we are content ..unemployment is everywhere in the world,SA stands on 24%,what is your country rate? Hard workers my ass,you are all compelled to hustle because your oil economy only caters few..the elites'...from the look of things you will remain refugees in foreign lands until Jesus comes back..

and yet we have the highest concentration of millionaires and billionaires in africa.

we own a formal economy of $594billion. your unemployment isn't 24% ,son


there are Indians , Chinese and Lebanese all over Nigeria.

you guys are too docile that's why you dont move out or work. what you are good at is "give us our land" , " spread white wealth amongst lazy unemployable blacks" and "foreigners are taking our jobs and women" ; XENOPHOBIA.

mzilakazi:
Xenophobia has everything to do with drugs. Nigerians are painting a black paint on every foreigner in SA. There are many good hard working foreigners in SA, like Ghanaians who would do everything within the parameters of SA law. Very respective and educated.

you are patronizing ghanaians with this post cheaply.

xenophobia and S.A ain't ever gon' part in african psyche.

mzilakazi:
Four were Nigerians. Brazil as well has a problems with Nigerians selling drugs in their country.

i see you conveniently omitted the lone Ghanaian there. don't want to lose their support here, no?

lol. of course 4 were Nigerians. where lot of good energy abounds, few are likely to misdirect that energy.
Nigeria has a fair share of bad guys as there are abundance of good good guys. remember we are the most educated in america.

still Drugs and Nigerians are the list of S.A problems

mzilakazi:
Xenophobia has many complex underlying causes one of them being overspread use of drugs by young people which have been acquired from Nigerians. Every corner of of cities there is always two to three Nigerians that would call you to the corner marketing drugs.

that is strictly your opinion.


xenophobia aren't about drugs . spare me that crab. xenophobia is all about black foreigners doing jobs you guys wouldn't dare do due to unrealistic expectation of post apartheid.

mzilakazi:
Indonesia has set a trend of how hard drug trafficking mules from Nigeria should be handled and shot before the firing squad. Will the whole world follow this trend?


http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/29/bali-nine-who-are-the-nine-people-being-executed-by-indonesia

Spare us the link. we all know Indonesia and their unpopular death penalty.

Australians were caught
as were brazlians
nigerians as well. These are countries better than S.A

mzilakazi:
Drug market magnet as you call it, made so by proudly Nigerians from purportedly best country in Africa.

In connivance with fellow south Africans who know the terrain and structure and clientele in S.A

mzilakazi:
Trafficking of drugs is punishable by death in many countries and many Nigerians have faced the firing squad because of such crimes. SA does not have a death sentence, only the people's justice which is referred to as xenophobia.

Your brain is too soft to make an excuse for xenophobia.

all your xenophobias have never been about drugs, silly.

they are about jobs, spazza shops and your inherent fear of black dominance.

you can stand the 5% white dominance in S.A.
BUT A FELLOW BLACK DOMINATING YOUR LOCAL ECONOMY OR WOMEN IS SOMETHING MOST BLACK S.A CAN'T LIVE WITH.

MduZA:
the fact that your compatriots flock into the very country like flies tells that you are dreaming...

personal fulfilments, man. most are hard working owning their own shops and business.

your unemployment is on an all time high yet zulu and co will never work hard or migrate as all citizens the world over do.

they can NEVER VENTURE OUTSIDE S.A NO MATTER WHAT BECAUSE ANC HANDOUT DON'T CROSS S.A BORDERS.

mzilakazi:
Poor reasoning capacity yet again. So, only because most SA are addicted on drugs, Nigerians who introduced these drugs on them should see it as a business opportunity. Cleaver people wouldn't do such a business of putting lives of other people at risk.

you make me laugh. S.A is a drug market magnet.

are you telling me a country that has one of the highest rape, murder rate, attempted murder rate, infant rape and homicides aren't Junkies already before ever few Nigerian drug cartels got there?

the Nigerian drug lords are people already in the midst of drugs within their host communities. they just blended in.

mzilakazi:
They have commited serious crimes which will see them dead in Nigeria. So, we kept them away from your death sentence.

the only crime they committed was feeding you sweet powder in connivance with your brother criminals at your instance.

mzilakazi:
Since, when did I ever said anything concerning that which you have just quoted on my name. Perhaps, you were trying to portray your 419 abilities of how you are always forging the signatures of people on fraudulent cheques, et cetera, et cetera. I always write facts and not poorly constructed lies. The biggest drug traffickers in SA are undoubtedly Nigerians and even toddlers knows. Our prisons are over flooding to teeth with Nigerians arrested on drug related crimes. Fact!!!

The Nigerian drug Lords are in S.A because you people cant get off the stuff. docility and drugs go hand in hand. S.A is now now one of the biggest markets world wide. there are Nigerian professionals and business people in SA.

the few criminal elements of Nigerians in SA are only in rendezvous with their local S.A paddies.

mzilakazi:
Do you know that Basothos, the Swazis and Batswanas in Southern Africa have their own independent countries. What was wrong for the Igbos as a nation to establish their own country independent from Nigeria? The Igboland would have been a success story as in the year 2015, that was really an envisaged country that would have been the hope of Africa. The "KWENU" nation. However, that dream is not gone yet, it can still be re-energised and be reintroduced back into action. I do not mean to disintegrate or polarise Nigerians, but be informed that some things will never change unless one toughest decision is taken.

Yes, most of the billionaire in SA are white and surely that will not change. It is as a result of the former murderous regime that ruled our country. All that we will have to do is to empower majority blacks in business so that they can close that gap. Soon, two more black SA billions are on the pipeline of being formally introduced into the world but one of those two is currently occupying a top political position in the government and has since become a silent partner.

Meanwhile, all white billionaires are still South Africans irrespective of the colour.

your post is long and full of crap. i used to think like you some 10 years ago. now no great nation emerges without a bit of predisposing factors either by geographical positioning or people factor.

the UK was able to survive harsh Europe during the 30 years old wars, ww1 and ww2 because she was geographically located in an island and had developed her naval skills. had she been in mainland Europe she would have been likely swallowed.

America was great because she had a sweet blend of people of all races in very high numbers which are allowed to flourish in a region which lack economic activities, ie Mexico and the Latin american countries.


now what are the predisposing factors for Nigeria and South Africa ?

NIGERIA ---- Here is a country comprising more than 250 ethnic groups, pushing 180 million people. the hausa , igbo and yoruba are the most dominant and could each form a very successful country some decades back but not anymore. should they go their separate ways ? hell no.

the truth is that the first advantage Nigeria has over Africa is her populated youth who are extremely mobile, itinerant and entrepreneurial and very hard working.

then the entire region of 16 west African is ready for their taking and dominance both in services delivery, banking and workforce. Nigeria amounts 76 % of the entire economy of west Africa. our reported GDP of $594 billion is just the formal sector. if we should take in the informal sector , we would be running near a trillion dollars.

the miracle of Nigeria staying together is a destiny on our leadership on the African continent. president GEJ isn't the first incumbent to admit defeat in the polls but coming from a strong, influential country like Nigeria whom many African countries look up to, the whole of Africa and the world saw it as a hope for Africa and democracy. you ought to read the papers from all over Africa.


SOUTH AFRICA----Bright country full of prospect and a regional power player.....BUT, South Africa lacks legitimacy in Africa. one, in most quarters all over the world S.A is still seen as an extension of Europe. built and developed by Europeans as home-away-from-home.

all of her success has been attributed to the west never to Africa. for all of SA top competitive companies and firms are owed by europeans and all her national landmark has been spearheaded by europeans. yes sad but true.

she has 7 billionaires as of April 2015 and only one of Patrice mutsepe is African SA.

SA hence can not spur africans into greatness. it is just another perception of white magic, true or false.

and the misrule and collapse of the economy, social order, government institution and xenophobia has also made SA isolated in the psyche of Africans.

Nelson Mandela remains the biggest achievement of black south Africa.

SA government has also made a lot of solitary unpopular decisions in Africa that has caused African diplomatic eye brow to arch. the Nigerian debacle of 1995/6, the Ivorian crisis of Lauren Gbagbo, the Libyan debacle and Malian crisis all come readily to mind.


Nigeria remains the sure hope for africa as the french president, the BBC and the other gave alluded.

ddami:
ah ah ah do u know wot I think you have a crush on @lezz u just can't do without referring 2 him unfortunately he doesn't do s.a HOs especially d funky HOs..now u care about me 'a single thought of mine' like am a nigerian,am presently in NIGERIA and oh yeah its d best country in Africa.....funky girl

now you are becoming one mean, bad ass troll. lol.

mzilakazi:
You know what I like about you? That is none other than your poor reasoning capacity. That's why I always kick you around like s ball.

hwo hwo huhqhaha. you are funny. Mr. xenophobia.

mzilakazi:
SA has over 1 million Nigerian citizens who are from the best country in Africa, yet they are the biggest cyber criminals, 419 scammers and drug mules who are now flooding SA prisons feeding on SA tax system.

MduZA:
who cares? Its your generator republic,keep it

mzilakazi:
There are many many Russian and Korean drug cartel in S.A but S.A blacks do not mention these much while highlighting the few Nigerian drug lords there.

well S.A has overtaken mexico in drug consumption due to high docility and a false sense of entitlement blacks expect from the government and the Europeans. reason why you guys are super xenophobic.

what is a Nigerian criminal doing in South Africa if not to liaise with the resident criminals and drug sniffers?


SA has over 1 million Nigerian citizens who are from the best country in Africa, yet they are the biggest cyber criminals, 419 scammers and drug mules who are now flooding SA prisons feeding on SA tax system.

Our generator republic has taught you guys a few tricks to your highly hyped "organised" economy which has been dying since you blacks took over.

this is an economy the anglo-dutch has been building for the past 300 years only to be destroyed by a bunch of lazy incompetent and uncivilized people who Africa liberated by 1994 only to be thanked by xenophobia.

mzilakazi:
You must receive the top award of being the moemish on Nairaland.

hehehe, i am just a guy that sees through your dark heart. you are jumping from thread to thread looking for an opportunity to pour your empty hate on Nigeria.

later a halfwit like you will always defend your action with "whenever i Google South Africa nairaland always pop up"

Did you also Google Ghana to get here? or you are always refreshing your Google page every 5 minutes to get here. why can't you admit you you are a stalker.

whenever i am not engaged offline, i am going to be on your trail full time.

MduZA:
hence there is no fuel scarcity in SA ...and the government does not pay its employees with borrowed money...

you always project your country problems on SA...

yeah, each country with its own peculiar issues.

tiny Mozambique supplies S.A electricity as load shedding hits hard and unemployment rise to 45%.

mzilakazi:
You are lost yet again. Somebody help this man with directions please.

lol, here is a man, moving from thread to thread all over nairaland looking for a butt-ease.
I will always leave you a nasty e-cut wherever i find you, guttersnipe Zulu.

mzilakazi:
Fool, you are even worst than a mumu. As a president, your campaign for your reelection starts the first day in your office. Every step you take, every decision you make will be directly compiled into a political manifesto by your party to show all that you have achieved during your term which may as well be diluted with propaganda many instances. It includes plans as well on how challenges facing the country will be tackled by the prospective party in government.

Eish!!! I don't know why should I be discussing this with a political amateur.

You mean since you've been e-stalking Nigeria you haven't learnt anything ? stop trying to make a point where there is none. you are only exposing the level of your desperation.

every sitting president knows you CANNOT pull 2 votes by launching satellite in Nigeria. that was why it was done without fanfare. that was why THREE YEARS LATER while the president was campaigning he or his team never talked about the sat x project.

rather they campaigned with the economy, train, road construction, SURE-P etc. Not once do anyone mention the satellite. because ordinary Nigerians wouldn't care one bit.

the more you try to argue this, the more you try to twist your way out of this, the more ignorant and frustrated you appear.

mzilakazi:
New paper Rsmbos of Africa.

Mugu, i meet you here again. you have been running from thread to thread looking for where to ease your hurt.

Everything positive about Nigeria leaves you dry in the mouth.

you head what the French government said last month didn't you ?

Africa is to draw out a roadmap of dealing and fighting terrorist insurgency on the continent with Nigeria leading the pack from her vast experience and efforts with boko haram.

hmn, just like i predicted some months back....

through your tears you will see the truth.

Siena:
A lot of misconceptions here.

Whilst a FWD car will have more traction than a similar car with RWD, due to the weight of the engine, this will ONLY apply in wet, slippery, muddy or snowy conditions.

Let's assume both cars have 300hp. The FWD car will NOT accelerate quicker that the RWD car. Sure, the weight of the engine will aid traction in a FWD car if driven moderately hard in dry conditions, it will trail the RWD car if it is launched hard from standstill.

The reason here is weight transfer. When any vehicle is launched, the front end will lift, and the rear will squat, as the shift in weight takes place. This affects EVERY vehicle regardless of configuration - FWD, RWD or AWD.

When weight transfer takes place and the front end lifts, a FWD car will lose a great deal of traction. With a RWD car, weight transfer is favourable, as the rear squats, pressing the rear wheels harder against the tarmac. This aids traction. Watch cars at the drag strip, and you'll observe the rear tyres actually flatten under full-bore acceleration, as all the weight transfers to the REAR.

This is why RWD drag cars use larger tyres at the rear, generally HOOSIERS. Besides offering superior grip, the higher rear end discourages excessive squatting. Or wheelie bars are also employed.

A FWD car is more of an economy feature. It favours better gas mileage, as the power source (engine) is closer to the transmitted drive (the wheels). A RWD set-up hurts gas mileage, as you have a long propshaft for the power to travel down to the rear driven wheels.

An AWD car is the best compromise, even better if it is permanent AWD, with a centre differential.

A FWD car is not great if driven on the limit, especially if it has in excess of 220hp to deal with. Neither is it a quarter-mile car, at least not a great one. I am NOT a fan of FWD cars, preferring AWD, with RWD the next best option. But...

...all these configurations have their advantages and uses. Simply get the one that best suits your finances and use, and be happy. I am happy with AWD, and can't remember when last I owned a 2WD model.

1000 likes!!! you can't have said it better.

There has been a passing observation about the reluctance of modern men in performing church wedding recently,as the tide turns in favour of statutory marriage (court wedding/Registry)and traditional ones. And in my lazy attempt at trying to decipher the reason for this, I came up with a not-so lazy observation.


Most men want to get the wedding /marriage thing off and done once and for all. Away with the show, the flash, the attention, the time, the pictures and all the boring stuffs women seem to indulge and hold so dear in the little flurry of activities marking the marriage day.


The bureaucratic nature of most churches (especially the orthodox ones) where prospective couples are made to see different heads of departments of the church hierarchy , attend and pass marriage class, get baptised if either of the couples have not been baptised in that church.

and if the couples reside, say, in Lagos and they originally are from another state /region, they are required to travel down to their local government areas and announce the marriage notice in their respective churches there too and pay dues and levies also.

Back in their actual church of membership, they are also required to " settle" the youth and choir members or risk the wrath of their absence or fine on their wedding day.


And not wanting to be seen as more spiritual than moral, intending couples are further mandated to do the genotype, blood group, HIV and pregnancy tests AT A STIPULATED laboratory of the church's choice.


And then it hit me with a slow awakening ; in a worldly organisation like age grade gathering, old boys association etc where marriage, holiness and salvation of the soul is not prioritized , one is actually supported monetarily or with gifts to ease off the financial requirements when a member decides to marry. But most orthodox churches especially Catholic and Anglicans , have made it mandatory for their members to "settle " their youths and choir members.

and when one factor in the logistical, planning and financial demands of white wedding ceremony , could it be why most modern young men are seeking a less demanding and more straight forward marriage formality?

Is it really expedient marrying the same lady two times and inviting friends and family twice with all the financial demands and planning involve ?

Biblically, did anyone ever got married in the church or Synagogue ?

Did any of the apostles or disciples ever conducted any marriage ceremony ?


Maybe men are more spiritually prudent, logically apt at doing the needful while looking at the true picture of humanity.

lomomike:
They mean samething, stop beating around the bush and answer the question.

no they do not. quicker is always 0 to 60mph lap time. faster is TOP SPEED. Because car A can do a 0 to 60 time quicker than car B , and yet car B will eat up the asphalt better in a quarter mile and go faster than car A with a better top speed. so car A is quicker but car B is faster.


back to the topic, i am going to try and answer your question with the assumption that you mean quicker acceleration time which is often measured in 0 to 60 mph or 0 to 100 kph.

between a rwd and a fwd car of same engine, chassis weight and gear ratio the acceleration time would be determined by some factors.

1) in a snowy track, i will give it to fwd

2) in using very little horse power where traction wont be an issue then the fwd still has an edge too


but in every other aspect when the light turns green for maximum take off, as the engine accelerates, the torque from the wheels will push the rear of the
car downwards, or the front of the car upwards.
Further to this, the resistance of the vehicle to
momentum, will cause it to push back against the
suspension as the wheels pull forwards. Because
of these two factors, the front wheels will have
less weight on them, and the rear wheels will
have more. A front wheel drive car will have
significantly less traction, and a rear wheel drive
will have significantly more.

also the fwd car will have a lot of torque steer and do auto lane change and the driver will have a hard time keeping a straight line not to mention the rwd will have more traction under full throttle than a fwd.

so under full acceleration in identical cars and where there are no snow or slippery surface, the rwd will have a better acceleration time than the fwd.

lomomike:
If car A is FWD and car B is RWD, and both have same engine power, same gear ratio, same chassis mass, engine mass, and cargo mass which car will accelerate faster?
Car A or car B.

do you mean faster or quicker ?

lomomike:
What makes a car go faster?

Answer this then we'll talk.

Mind you, Lamborghini, some Ferrari, Porsche ain't RWD set up, they're AWD.

what makes a car go faster ? that would take up another thread. and if you disagree with my opinion , it will be a derailment.

you are right about the AWD of some cars. maybe i should have said , all the world's super fast cars are either AWD or RWD.

Funny how no one is referring to the obvious rot in the civil orientation of Nigeria here.

a woman slaps a military man in plain clothes should be no more spectacular than if she had slapped a civilian. (by the way a woman initiating physical assault against a man is plain dumb).

in any civilized clime, it becomes a police matter. Yes, the military man calls in the police , if he didn't react on impulse with a resounding slap.

last year in the UK two civilians killed a British soldier on the street in day light. they stood on the road brandishing their weapons until the police came in to arrest them. no British army was seen attacking or burning civilian houses or shops. mind, the assailants were of Nigerian descent.

the idea of a military or uniform class with special powers without due process is still a worrying trend in our collective psyche .

mzilakazi:
Do you think political campaign is something that stats only two weeks before the national polls? Nope. It is a process that commence immediately you assume the office of the president. You start from there preparing for your next meal like ants which would work hard to gather food for tomorrow. I didn't know that you were that fool that couldn't realise that every government in power by doing what we normally know as service delivery is indirectly campaigning to be retained into power. Shameless, uneducated and pathetic Nigerian.

i am not surprised, your education and assimilation into civility began in 1994.

so for every act of service performed by a president is an indirect step for re-election campaign? is that how it is done in Zulu land?

little wonder S.A hasn't changed government for 21 years running. we call that a civil rule not a democracy.

getting back to the topic, Nigeria has launched about 4 satellites so far from the Obasanjo administration to the GEJ administration and they were never popular with the general public except a very few techy affectionados.

the majority just don't care and are even not aware.

look for another line, bro. i can feel your desperation.
