These are nice pictures. But the fact is, this is a non debatable issue. South Africa is by far the most developed country in Africa.

2. Tunisia
3. Egypt
4. Morocco
5. Mauritius

RSA! Just leave these people, most of them are so jealous of South Africa. They have this obssession with us. Just leave them to rant & rant & rant. They so wish that South Africa could become like Nigeria, where everything is a mess. Right now as I'm posting, I'm sitting with a Liberian student. When he so this,he just rolled down on the floor with laughter. He was actually telling me that that's how these people are.
They're so negative of everything, they hate their government and they hate themselves. I'm one of the South Africans who actually acknowledged the fact that yes we have challenges, especially AIDS and Crime. Only a fool will laugh to people who have AIDS, because even successful countries like India are struggling with the AIDS pandemic. It seems as if in Nigeria not a single person have AIDS.
When coming to crime, i don't know. I've never been a victim of crime since I was born in this country. Crime is there but mainly people who hate this country are the ones who dwell on it.
I wonder if this country is sooo bad in the eyes of Nigerians, then why do we have over a half a million Nigerians in this country refusing to home.

After the xenophobic attacks many foreigners refused to go home.
I'm proud of myself, because regardless of the problems we have in this country, I remain proudly South African and I will jealously guard this country with my life. I don't give f#$%%% what some Nigerian says about Mzansi Africa. Our only crime in this continent is that we have things that they don't have. Beautiful malls, beaches, first class infrastructure and we don't have to board a plane to enjoy finner things in life.

The fact that who developed this country, is a non issue, even whites don't talk about that, its only Nigerians who rant about it. Whether whites or Indians developed South Africa or what, the fact is the country is developed and our black government continue to develop it. WHO CARES. LIVE WITH THAT.

Gaddafi can take his Lybia and shove it into his Arab ass. That will not happen. The whole Africa can unite. But as for South Africa, no thanks!

I don't understand why you guys are soo upset, Nigeria played very well. Its just that Cameroun seems to have edge over Nigeria most of the time, even with the senior squad.
We (South Africa) accepted that we lost to a better team. Ghana have got a greate pool of young stars especially Abedi Pele's son. We the squads that SA, Nigeria, Ghana and Cameroun have I don't why one these teams can't win the world cup in Egypt. Ghan loos preety much impressive.
We gave those little Black Stars quite a scare in the last moments.

Ag come on, do we have to celebrate every little thing that a black person archieves. How is the fact that Oprah is a billionare gonna help all those poor blacks around the world. But hey, have to agree, blacks are the greates sports persons. All the greates of each and every sensible sports are blacks.

Football- Pele, Ronaldinho, Eusebio.

Cricket- Brian Lara

Rugby- Jonah Lomu

Athletics- Usain Bolt, Michael Johnson

Golf- Tiger Woods

Boxing- Mohammed Ali, Mike Tyson

This was always bound to happen. The giant of Africa can't host the Under 17 World Cup. For heavens sake I mean how can a self proclaimed giant of Africa fail to host a mere Under 17 tournament. Everything Nigeria touches turns into a disaster. The All Africa games were logistical disaster.
The wanted to host the Commonwealth games and at last sanity prevailed as the tournament was awarded to Scotland. Imagine the embarrassment this would have brought to Africa. This makes me laugh when I think that this is the same country that wanted to host the 2010 world cup.
South Africa is going to host the 2010 FIFA world cup and FIFA is happy with the progress as most of the infrastructure is now nearing completion. Egypt will host the under 20 world cup. Why don't FIFA award the Under 17 world cup to Ghana as they were good hosts during the last African Cup of Nations.

I wonder what moronic characters like Morpheus24 and his girlfriend IFYGIRL are saying as their beloved country continues to embarass themselves. Nigeria is supposed to be the giant of Sub Saharan countries, the last hope for the black african nations (excluding South Africa). Africa will continue to be the laughing stock of the whole world if countries like Nigeria are allowed to bid to host events like the World Cups.

The much hated South Africa will continue to host hiccup free world events like the 95 Rugby World Cup, 96 African Cup of Nations (which was a small event by comparison to other tournaments)2003 Cricket World Cup. 2010 IS COMING AND fifa is happy. The next will be the Durban bid to host the olympics. We have no intentions of hosting colonial tournaments like the Commonwealth games, we aim higher as Durban is preparing an Olympic bid.

Bad organisation and bad infrastructure has led to FIFA doubting Nigeria's ability to host the under 17 World Cup of all tournaments. How can such a massive country that claims to be the giant of Africa fail to organise such a small tournaments. This country will embarass Africa. Maybe Ghana can do better!!

The Under-17 World Cup is due to take place in Nigeria in October
Fifa vice-president Jack Warner has raised fresh concerns over Nigeria's preparations for their hosting of October's Under-17 World Cup.

Speaking at an event in Abuja to launch the official emblem, Warner said: "I have always had faith in Nigeria but at the moment that faith is not there."

Warner is chairman of the organising committee for the tournament, and was not impressed after touring the facilities.

"I cannot go back to Fifa and say yes, Nigeria is ready, because plenty still has to be done before we get to that stage.

"Apart from Abuja, only the stadium in Ijebu Ode is ready and encouraging of the nine stadiums presented.

"I feel pain, but even though I do not want to take away the joy of [the launch] tonight, I still have to be honest and face the truth.

"And the truth is that you still have a long way to go, but I have always believed in Nigeria and I know you can do it."

Warner did not say that the tournament will be taken away from Nigeria, but he made it clear that time is running out.

"Hopefully when we return in March, things would have taken a better shape," he said.


Warner is losing patience with Nigeria
"But please, get started with the work at these stadiums and let us fulfil the promise of Africa hosting all three World Cups in 2009 and 2010."

Last year Fifa expressed concerns over the progress of preparations, and in October, Nigeria's President Umaru Yar'Adua decided that the country should pull out of hosting the event, until the budget was revised.

At Monday's event, the country's Vice-President, Goodluck Jonathan, assured Fifa that there will be an improvement.

"We know what is expected and we promise those things will be in place by the time you return, it is a promise," he said.

"The importance of football to the Nigerian people cannot be undermined and that is the more reason we will ensure massive improvement."

Nigeria lost the right to host the 1995 Under-20 World Cup, due to lack of facilities and medical concerns.

But the country successfully hosted the tournament four years later, with Spain winning the trophy.

With South Africa hosting the 2010 World Cup, the continent will also this year stage the Under-20 World Cup in Egypt, and the Under-17 World Cup in Nigeria.
