SA women are beautiful, they fall in real love with naija guys.
Naija guys are handsome, hardworking and rich.

SA guys police are not happy with the above, therefore unleash hatred which results to killing.

Stop lying, you are dealing in drugs, that's all.

Stop selling drugs and police will not kill you. Even in China you Nigerians are killed for selling drugs but you don't complain.

I have been off and on bro.

I saw the thread on front page and pointed out some error. Captown Khayelitsha is the 3rd biggest slum in the world as of this minute and it didn't make the list.

It is actually 2nd to Kenya. That's what I came to point out to OP only to see that guy who sought to become Mr Nairaland throwing tribal slurs everywhere....a guy I got my friends and followers to vote for all through the preliminaries.

It was a shock. I had to let him have it.

Khayelitsha is now developed chief.

The man was a drug dealer and not a trader.

That list is grossly distorted and unreliable. It does not consider current economic status of Nigeria and was carelessly quoted from outdated information. Dangote and other Nigerian magnates' net worth had dwindled due to a crash on a Naira and most significantly recession.

Is that picture real? Definitely edited as a Gripen will not do the negative G

JAS 39 Gripen can definitely do inverted (upside-down) movement.

FunkyMetahuman:
[s][/s] that's not Nigeria..

I can show you worst In south Africa (land of xenophobic savages)

China has worse but still the best

now do me a favor

Don't make us to show you the worst that Boko unleash to your people. Xeno is nothing compared that inhuman culture that you guys see there up North.

FunkyMetahuman:
[s][/s]giant nations, big problem..
go and compete with Zimbabwe please.. your mate is not here.

gerarahia

I mean Zim, our child is even 100% better than Nigeria.

FunkyMetahuman:
I know, you wanna be us but sorry.. you can only learn it but you can't be us.

we are better than you.. that's why you can't even do without our forum..
you don't see Nigerians on south African forum saying crap, do ya? because you guys are way beneath us.
you don't see Americans on Nigeria forums saying crap do you?

now gerarahia and go look for next Zimbabwean or Mozambican to lynch..

If we really want to be Nigeria, it will really have to cost us so dearly.

Firstly you will have to have Boko Haram
Secondly you will have to have oil and MEND on the other side which will have to bomb your supply every now and then.

Then we will have to demolish all the heavy infrastructure that we boost in SA

Over 70% of our urbanised population will have to return back to villages and be locked back to the stone age.

Again we will have to reduce our power output (National grid) of 48 000MW to a mere 3 000MW and become a generator reliable nation.

All our toll roads and expensive highways, we will lose all that.

I mean it will cost us so dearly to be like Nigeria. Why can you wish us to be like Europe or America?

FunkyMetahuman:
why are south Africans soiling this thread with inferiority complex?

we call ourselves the giant of Africa because we are..
if you don't like it, (Ropes are cheap).
End it!

put an end to your misery

don't soil the thread with your "xenophobia" abeg.
restrict it to your lousy country.

Look here, your mate invited us and we called him to order in a quickest way possible. You can call yourself "psedo giant" as much as you can but to Africa you remain just another ordinary country.

ATERI:
Never mind; the best propaganda is served hot!

This is the actual true size of two countries.

ATERI:
To be a giant, other African countries have to see you as one. How many countries in Africa see SA as more important than Nigeria geo-politically speaking? There is more to Africa than Southern Africa!

True, not every well-populated country would become a super power, but virtually every superpower has a population of over 100 million...important info for SA

Also important to point out that, Nigeria`s Continental acceptability has come at a price, not something a young nation like SA can displace through over-night bravado

Then there is Nigeria`s cultural reach; don`t get me started on that one. SA stands no chance!

Bye

To be a giant, other African countries have to see you as one. How many countries in Africa see SA as more important than Nigeria geo-politically speaking? There is more to Africa than Southern Africa!

Stop embarrassing yourself. What do you mean there is more to Africa than Southern Africa? Is Southern Africa not in Africa? Bwahahahahaha…


Well for your information, other Africans do not flock in Nigeria as much as they frequent SA. Even your fellow brothers know well that SA is their destination.


England has population of about 60 mil but they are superpowers. They once conquered half of the world including USA.

SA is not a young Nation, It is by far older than Nigeria. Read history and stop embarrassing yourself.

Culture is nothing. All Africans have their own culture.


In conclusion.

Nigeria is not a giant of Africa. That can only be dismissed as a self praise.

LeSudAfricaine:
South Africa is in this list just for convinience

Those people are not up-to-date with the current status of South Africa in terms of developments. Our government has managed to sweep out slumps through an RDP programme where locals get free low cost housing that has a solar geyser electricity and water.

ATERI:
No need! You don`t want to compare about 10 regions with over 30 states, do you?

So is this your list?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_radio_stations_in_Nigeria

ATERI:
Have you ever been to Nigeria before?

Yes, I did and I found it incomparable to SA in terms of infrastructure. It is by far backward in terms of SA standard.

LeSudAfricaine:
I've actually never understood the "giant of africa" moniker myself, I mean, what is Nigeria a giant of?

Giant of making children, that's all.

ATERI:
No need! You don`t want to compare about 10 regions with over 30 states, do you?

Our provinces are bigger than your states.

ATERI:
Msauza, the spin doctor!

Well in that sense, you can suit yourself.

@aflame100

I believe that if you proclaim yourself as the giant you must be able to become a magnet and attract foreign nations to your territory. Look at America, that's where nations flock and above that it does not proclaim itself as the giant of the world. Otherwise we will continue to reduce you as ridiculous to continue telling people that you are a giant but when you have nothing to show for it. Over 80% of Nigerian population live in abject poverty and the millions of Northerners have been displaced from their homes. So, what kind of giant is that with so many problems? Stop ridiculing yourself for once and admit that you are not a giant but just a most populous state with many challenges.

aflame100:
Please, stop displaying your ignorant. Nigeria is the giant of Africa.

That's an opinion and not a fact.


Yes to your own standard it is but not to our (South African) standard. SA attracts Africans all over the continent including over 2 million Nigerians. SA is home to over 10 million foreign African nationals. So in that sense who is the boss?

ATERI:
Come on; you can do better than that!

What do you mean by that or do you think that SA does not have radio stations? SA has many radio stations which I cannot even count. We have national radio stations under SABC, privately owned radio stations and community radio stations. That's why it will be difficult for me to count as they are many.

Elizadath:
I hate south African toyota cars with passion. they worse than Daewoo

Toyota is Toyota and they are all the same. They use same tech. If you hate SA Toyota, then it means you hate Japan Toyota. Your problem is that you hate South Africa not Toyota. That's all.

ATERI:
Where are the noisy South-Africans? Better come and see one of the reasons why Africans see Nigeria as the indisputable GIANT of Africa!

What makes Nigeria a giant except for its population? South Africa remains undisputed giant of Africa as well. It just depend which direction you want to look it through.

winj:
Nigeria as a nation may be on hard times but no African can compete with the average Nigerian citizen in any part of the world, no one!

Even Egyptians and Libyans cannot!

Nigerians are simple the most achieved individuals in all aspects of business, education, global organisations, travel, foreign relations and private endeavours.

The average South African or East African cannot compare!

Despite bad stereotypes, majority of African women will date and marry a Nigerian before all others. Even Jamaicans and caribbean women prefer Nigerian men before their own.

Just continue on dreaming.

Ngokafor:
....You are just making useless noise.It shows how empty some of you are..Your rants here about your delusional importance and how you are better than Igbos shows your level of intelligence.

..,I ask again,is oil the only source of income for a country to thrive??..You say SouthAfrica,,i laugh..is SA an oil exporting country??. i will have you know that the oil they have is very small reason why they import to augment what they have but are miles ahead of Nigeria in every way...


....The sooner you guys wean yourselves from oil induced laziness the better this country will be.

..Ps i think you should find peace with Biafrian issues cos your opinion about Biafra to Biafran agitators is like a used tissue-paper.

South Africa has not yet started with the oil production. They are planning for production soon but that will only be sufficient for local market for some 15 years.

Branzy:
South Africa was invited... Jacob Zuma is there..

South Africa is a member of G20. It was not an invite but a MUST ATTEND because of its full membership.

While South Africa is busy building their infrastructure, Nigeria is busy chasing after GDP. How foolish is that?

South Africa is not even in competition. It has nothing to do with this race of the biggest economy. They just do their thing and everything else is just a bonus.

OKDnigeria:
The Federal Government has stated that the country would soon bounce back as the largest economy as been holding the position until South Africa displaced her.

Using the Gross Domestic Product at the end of 2015, published by the International Monetary Fund, the size of South Africa’s economy was $301bn, while Nigeria’s GDP was $296bn


The Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udo Udoma, while speaking shortly after receiving the report of the three-day pre-summit workshop from the Infrastructure Public Private Partnership Summit Group, said the country would bounce back in no distant time.


Udoma called on Nigerians to stop bemoaning the lost glory but rather put all hands on deck to support the government in achieving economic development.

He said, “We are determined to turn this economy around and stimulate private sector investments. Losing our position as the biggest economy in Africa should in some way inspire us to work even harder. Sometimes when you are number two, you are actually more motivated to work hard and we should see it as something that should motivate all of us to work harder.”


http://dailypost.ng/2016/08/19/nigeria-will-soon-overtake-south-africa-largest-economy-africa-fg/

Rome was never built in one day. If they rash on it they might end up like Venezuela.

I wonder how will they reverse the exchange rates to N170/$ when the dollar is already going somewhere to N360. The real GDP of Nigeria is about $232 billion because the parallel markets are the ones who are reflecting the true GDP size.

In South Africa is different, the currency is floating freely without it being restricted or pegged. Jonathan also lied to Nigerians by using all their FR to defend pegged currency just to overtake South Africa. However, it did not last because it exhausted foreign reserves and exerted more pressure as there was a huge gap vis-à-vis parallel market value of naira to the greenback. Buhari had to let free of the peg for the naira to float and reflect the real value of the GDP and when it was recalculated at the official FX it was found to be lower than that of SA. As it now stand, the gap is already widening because the value of naira is falling. SA experts predicted it to fall to N400/$ and might even push Nigeria to the third position.

South African Air Force retire some ofits current Gripen or Hawk jet aircraft.
.

Rapid Fire | Thursday, March 31, 2016
A weakeningRand, and a 10% defense budget cut may see the South African Air Force retire some of its current Gripen or Hawk jet aircraft . The defense cut coupled with the decrease in currency value has come as a double blow; affectingreplacement parts for military jets as they are paid in either dollars, or in the case of the British built Hawks, in pound sterling. SAAF efforts to cut down on costs have seen five Hawk jets scrapped for parts, three of which were grounded after accidents. Furthermore, of the 24 Hawks initially acquired, there are only seven qualified pilots, while of the 26 Gripens in use (half of which are in storage), there are only five qualified pilots to operate the aircraft.
