You called me clueless........ I believe I will be the one to educate you about the military and not the other way round. as what I've sacrificed for this country, I doubt you have even giving quarter and will ever do. And you are comparing Nigeria to what again?

You're justifying the economic by number of billionaires, are you kidding me? Bro, go to school and get educated on economics analysis. In a situation where 80percent of a country population can't even have the basic life needs but to you they have more billionaires than Benin Republic that makes their economy great...... How do y'all think? Wanted buying a car last month and I realised even Benin Republic currency (cefas) Is way ahead of naira now. And y'all saying what again. Get educated bro not beer parlour gist.
Nigeria has the best military after Egypt Mr grigory.

Where did those billionaires make their money ,in South Africa or Benin Republic? grin.

If they are rich countries ,why don't they have many billionaires like us ?

MadamExcellency:
South African whites contribute to national issues. Black people are primarily consumers. Nigerians, as part of this group, face challenges in nation-building.
You are correct . It's only the whites who make that country work . The blacks there lack vision and ambition unlike Nigerians who are successful everywhere we are.

Let's see the debate before you start pushing that analogy. The reality is that South African economy has higher GDP than Nigeria.

South Africa is regarded as a leading economy in Africa,; ranked higher than Nigeria.
Leading economy with the poorest blacks on earth? Leading economy only for the white there . The black only live in slums

You are the only one here who made sense . You know that these black South African never achieved anything,they never lifted a finger to build that beautiful country.it's only white people who have worked hard for that country. We are better than them in everything . They are just delusional if they think they can match us. People with no ambition to succeed. If you put them in a diverse place like USA and UK can they even succeed to get a cleaning job there not talk of being doctors and nurses like us. People like WizardOfNG have no clue about these people. I have lived in that country and have never seen those blacks working. Only the white they do all the work there but they have audacity to talk back at Nigerians
I have "no clue" because I don't wish to join you attacking South Africans unfairly?

In this case, I simply don't agree with your argument which is predicated on your belief South Africa does not deserve status ascribed to her.

You feel, via a misplaced sense of entitlement, such should be Nigeria's glory automatically.

Sorry Sir, I cannot help you with that as an exposed citizen of the world who knows Nigeria has work to do matching South Africa onwards to being the meritorious Giant of Africa.


It is time we stopped talking based on past glory and what we feel is our deserved status to begin acting to gain genuine economic might even our enemies will respect. Like or hate USA, you must respect her for her economic greatness, wealth and all round an usually unmatched capacity.


If you paid attention you'd notice I made it clear, from my first post here, I will discuss the Nigeria V South Africa non-ending gbas gbos from a political and economic perspective and not the usual social bickering (Amapiano v Afrobeats comparison for example) that are subjective and cannot have a clearly defined winner or loser.

Look at things from the perspective of quality of life for citizens or dweller of each nation, which political and economic considerations impact, and you understand my point.

Israel is one of the smallest countries in the Middle East but they are now the giant of the Middle East. So let’s not be surprised if Ghana overtake both Nigeria and South Africa to emerge as the giant of Africa.

Giant is about your doings, not population.

South Africa is in the G20 and BRICS nations because those who founded those organizations wanted SA as a partner and not Nigeria grin. SA never pointed a gun on their heads like we are made to think on this pathetic thread grin

Great article and a food for taught. That Nigeria lost its glory its a big lie as long as the potentials are there.

Nigeria is called giant of africa not because we are many but Nigeria has produced intellects, scientists and industrialist.

Southafrica is what it is today because of WHITE hegemony. Many of the blacks don't understand this.

Take a look at southafrica, kidnapping has gone over the roof. Poor black South Africans now kidnap their white counterpart for money.

When you talk about leadership it's about the ideas. Whites control the economy hence you see many poor blacks. Very soon things will fall into place Nigeria will shine again.

Mind you trump has promised to repatriate white southafricans to nebraska this will affect their economy.

Nigeria will rise.
Stop lying please

"Never lifted a finger to build that beautiful country" yet the same blacks brought the first World Cup to Africa and built those same stadiums with those same black hands.. "high-speed trains" are built from which hands?

Bro, you speak from a place of jealousy.. It's apparent from your writing.


There are many black South African nurses in the UK, boss, there are also many black students .. You guys flex over the west like it's heaven, it's not for us. Going to the UK to slug it out doesn't validate us in any way.


You're better than us in everything. What is there to show? Better how? A country that still has a toilet shortage? Who's the delusional one between the two of us? You're only better by word of mouth!

You claim we don't wanna "succeed," which it's funny, because if there's one country that wanna see its country succeed, it's South Africans and Kenyans; we fight for our country, for it to improve, develop, and we hold our leaders accountable. All you know is Japa to the UK, then come back to brag about Europe to us..

And please stop lying, man. How can you claim to have lived in a country but never seen anyone from that country working except your beloved white people? 80% of the population not working? You've never been near South Africa, stop lying, you guys are pathe.tic honestly

hahaha..The poorest blacks reside in Naija, my guy.. remember your moniker? "Capital of p.0verttee"

1. Black South Africans make up 80% of South Africa. Are you saying that 80% live in slums?
2. Black South Africans have a bigger middle class than that of Nigeria, infact, the biggest black middle class is made up of black South Africans, go and verify.
3. Nigeria has one of the smallest GDP per capita in the world. Ours is bigger than yours by a mile, which ultimately means an average South African has more spending power than an average Nigerian. In other words, you're poorer
4. South Africa is classified as an Upper Middle Income Country, while yours is classified as a Lower Income Country
5. The biggest number of black millionaires reside in South Africa
6, Burundi is the poorest country in the world, so how are we the poorest blacks in the world?

I have been watching this country called South Africa and I notice that they think they can take our place as the dominant and natural leader of Africa. No country in Africa can replace Nigeria as the giant of Africa. No citizens of any of these African countries are as resilient,creative and hardworking as Nigerians.

South African had no place joining BRICS and G20 countries before Nigeria if not our leaders were sleeping. We have the biggest economy,a young and hardworking youth and we are found dominating every field in every country .

South Africa has nice things. I have lived there but don't like Africa like we do. We welcome every African in Nigeria no matter where you come from. We are natural leaders of One Africa. Nigeria should please take it's rightful place and stop all this nonsense of diplomacy with these South Africans. That's why they disrespect us like this ,because they think we are mates. Countries that make noise about migrants can never be successful or lead others succefully,that's where we have all the advantage. Other Africans worship us because they know we love everyone.

Nigeria is not where it's supposed to be but we. Shouldn't allow all these small African countries to get ahead of us because their country look fine or have light skin people. We must put our foot down as the Giants of Africa.

They are even bragging that they were at the world cup and we had no team there . Why can't we shut these people up for good. The embarrassment is too much.

Our guys abroad and patriots must come and weigh in.
