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. [b]I have lived there [/b]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.

Stop lying . You have never been to South Africa.

And lastly ,there's no natural leader of anyone on this continent, you're simple delusional. Lead yourselves out extreme poverty first and maybe Ecowas nations will begin to take you seriously as their leader grin grin grin.

Exactly. SA Egypt put together cannot match our might if we put our act together. All the best projects in Africa are in Nigeria. We have the resources, hardworking people and we are the most ambitious nation in Africa. Without Nigeria there is no hope or light in Africa.

@the bolded ....you should have said there's no light in Nigeria grin grin grin giant of darkness grin grin

I was responding to a comment that says "poor South Africans are now resorting to kidnapping white people," insinuating that this is somehow a norm or it happens with regularity. This is a lie, and your articles here also do not support that lie.

Article 1. The perpetrators here are 3 foreign nationals


Article 2. Nothing here suggests black people kidnapped this person. Where are their names?


Article 3. Yes, the 8 men in this article are all black South Africans, but they're still suspects and not yet charged. And where does it specify they kidnapped a white person?

Article 4. Lavender Hill is a colored township in Cape Town, the perpetrators are also from there, the victim is also from there, which suggests this is a colored affair. Nothing says "poor Black South Africans did it." Also, you don't find white people in Lavender Hill

Article 5. The race of the kidnapped woman is not specified here, nor is the race of the perpetrators.


Article 6. The exact case as above


Article 7. This is an article warning Chinese tourists to be vigilant when travelling to SA, because there was an incident where a Chinese was kidnapped and extorted (mind you I'm looking for cases where "poor black South Africans are kidnapping white people for sport)

Article 8. Here, the perpetrators are indeed black South Africans arrested for kidnapping the son of an Indian businessman (again, you know what I'm looking for)[b][/b]

No she is not and that is even the fundamental cause of all of our problems IMO.

Nigerians will never be able to unite because we are very different people, with starkly contrasting values and outlook, being forced to coexist. Imagine Israel and Iran sharing same geographical space all for the sake of nationhood? A disaster for sure.

That is the self-destructive reality of Nigeria today. Since we are in agreement on our retrogressive lack of homogenous unity, across ethno-religious and socio-economic lines, what is your take on tackling issues?

We can see, from stance their leaders took, what Yorubas believe should be done to adress this fundamental and crippling schism between regions and ethnicities.

Tell me your own solution because I am always wary of those who say, correctly I must add, that Nigeria is not a united Country and then declare uncompromising support, like the broken record Gidgiddy, for balkanising of Nigeria knowing our constitution does not allow that and the North will never willingly accede to such.

Yet same people are never in support of what is shown below. Fact is that Nigerians have not reached the level of selflessness that will allow all citizens to accept what is shown below unilaterally.

Most Nigerians, especially those from the North and SE, use excuses to mask their real agenda which has nothing to do with what is best for Nigeria and all Nigerians.

False. We say it all the time. Why do you lie so much, my guy? And how did you conclude that our police "are the most corrupt police in Africa"? Yes, they're corrupt, but in the whole of Africa? How the hell did you come to that? do tell

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?
7. I know no African nationality obsessed with Whi.tes like you ppl
Are South African Blacks not the poorest people in South Africa again?. Is it white people that are poor over there or what. You think we don't know what is happening over there?

1. Your music is popular. I'll give it that. We still have the highest number of Grammy Award winners in the entire continent, we excel in every genre of music, whether it's jazz, hip hop, Soul, pop. Look at what amapiano is doing globally! And when it comes to musicianship, the music production, and the actual singing vocal ability...nobody touches us on the continent, same with dancing..

2. Egypt rules African football boss, seeing how many times they've won the Afcon and with predominantly home-based squads, and how their biggest team, "Al Ahly", dominates African club competitions. Morocco is the next best team, seeing how well they did in the last World Cup. We, on the other hand, have the richest and most organized league on the continent ..Where was a Nigerian team in the recent Club World Cup? Do you even have a league that can compete with the South African PSL? Let's start there!

3. What is the racial composition of Nigeria again? 100% Black.!. So what do you expect? The poorest Burundi is built 100% by Black Burundians! It's like expecting a drink made from strawberries to taste like oranges. South Africa is the result of the concerted efforts of everyone who lives in it, not only the white people, you gouys worsheep so much.

4. Lol, you control which economy? You mean the one that doesn't work for you? Look at other oil-rich states, eg, Qatar, Russia, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, even Angola, and look at Nigeria, then come back to me. GDP on it's on its own is useless. How the GDP translates to living standards for every individual (GDP per capita) is what you should be focusing on, and as things stand, Nigeria has one of the lowest GDP per capita in the world. And as for the slavery comment.. check who's drowning in O.ceans between you and us slaves tend to flee sl@very, you know grin

5. Jealousy for what exactly? Why are you guys so deluded?

Because they’re better than Nigeria in all socio-economic indices except breeding like rats! Shikena!!! Nigeria have all it takes to be the giant of Africa but they’re generally just too daft and usually have the tendency to shoot themselves in the foot! They take one step forward and three steps backwards yet still wonder why South-Africa has stolen their thunder!
