When you tell APC supporters that the 15trillion naira stolen on coastal road, could transform the power sector in this country, they see you as enemy, while they are the real enemies of the country

Different mindset.
Here we repair a sixty year old bridge and adorn it with posters of the President as a national achievement....just different mentality.

So small Ghana that is getting their supplies from Nigeria is better than these people. I can't believe this and doubt if it is the truth.

This is what every nation is striving to achieve so that production and manufacturing will thrive and prosperity spreads.

But our tax collector Minister of Finance is always thinking of taxing, no macro economics initiatives, just borrowing and taxing. So sad

You are funny, what is one week. No place in Nigeria has ever celebrated 3 days uninterrupted power supply in the whole Nigeria
My dear Brother, please when you guys make comments please, make it with facts.

Because you haven't experienced such doesn't mean it does not exist.

Fact check; They are places in Nigeria that stays months without black out, I am a living withnessed. I mean they are lot of them in various states in Nigeria.

The estate my parent house is located in Abuja boast of uninterrupted power for weeks sometime months. They only have blackout when National grid collapse or maybe few maintenance.


I have visit a community in Nasarawa state along Abuja road for work related duties, I stayed there for two weeks and they was no blackout for even one single second for the two weeks I spent there.


NIGERIA IS FAR BIGGER THAN YOUR IMAGINATION. You guys underrate your country too much shame on you

May God help us

All thanks to the White people from Dutch land that built South Africa and stayed back to ensure black South Africans didnt destroy the labors of their forefathers, I salute their tenacity and courage.


To the black South Africans, you guys are lucky to have White South Africans that built your country and refused to leave like they did in other black African countries but stayed back to make sure you black South Africans didnt destroy South Africa built by the whites with your archaic Zulu practices shocked

What should we call this if not a crass display of complexity? This is one of the reasons why it's difficult not to agree with some Nigerians who hold the opinion that you individuals inside the former apartheid enclave are quite primitive. This is low, man!

By the way, why is it that it's always you Black South Africans who appear on this platform to discuss your country's so-called success? Why aren't White South Africans here? Those individuals must feel a certain way sharing the same country with you. You are celebrating 2,000 years of stable electricity, and the next thing that comes to your mind is to run to a Nigerian forum— to tell us that we don't have electricity, right? How does that even change how the average Nigerian perceives you Black South Africans? Grow up, man! Trust me, Nigerians don't even rate you; not at all.

Dude, your complexity is quite sickening—deal with it.

There's nothing low or primitive about this, you're just pissed good news are posted and they come from SA..
RandDigital posts the good and the bad about SA, that's what his account's about.. he'll post about crime in SA, politics, a corrupt SA politician arrested, about riots, about infrastructure development, elections etc..
As soons as he posts something good or positive , you start writing think pieces, ranting, its telling

Nigeria is a poor nation.

Nigeria has population of about 250M, South African has 60M population or so. South African budget is 4* of Nigeria budget. Youself reason am
But Nigerian politicians are among the richest on earth. So, why should a poor country be funding the life styel of few politicians?

What exactly is Nigeria doing for these 250m people that they cannot provide electricity?
Are they paying welfare for all 250m people?
Are they providing medical care?
Have they provided homes for all 250m?
Are they building 250m roads to 250m homes?
Abi these 250m people connect to light that's why it cannot go round?

Do they even recognize the wish or votes of these 250m people?

Let's hold our government accountable for the things they should do at least the basic things first.

All government officials want to send their families outside Nigeria on the bill of Nigerians, own homes abroad and in Nigeria. Live large and own several luxury cars.
How much is this worth to Nigerians for former politicians, current ones and upcoming ones. When will it end especially when everyone cannot be a politician.
