Shut up Patrick, the Zimbabweans now own THEIR OWN LAND, South Africans DO NOT.

Zimbabweans now also live in destitute poverty - 72% of their population

Zimbabweans now also have 80% unemployment - 94% in 2008

Zimbabweans now flee by their millions in search of work and food in South Africa (2muchIrony4me)

Zimbabweans enjoyed hyper inflation of 200 000 000%

Zimbabweans now no longer have their own currency

Zimbabwe is now rife with Cholera and other diseases

Zimbabwe is now an international Pariah and even the Chinese (their only allys) try to keep a distance (superficially)

Yeah, worked out great didnt it!! We should all totally do it!! We can all starve and die of disease on our tiny patches of land!!

No need, Nigeria has ALL infantry weapon class that SANDF has, from Rifle to AGL.

Well for us, evry bullet counts, one enemy one bullet, SANDF wastes their own

See how we nailed this Boko driver through his windsheild.....one naija bullet works like 10 saffer bullets
.

In what numbers?

In SA the MGL is a squad weapon and ever except the LMG gunner can use a rifle grenade.

Sure because your solders are better shots than the Americans. Or you talking Bull and don't under stand, cover and movement, surprising fire, or that it is very hard to hit a moving target. Do you know that if your patrol comes under attack from a certain direction you open fire at the enemy, where the enemy is hiding and where he could be hiding. With you average solders load out he can not do proper fire and movement, He can not pin the enemy down so they can get flanked or hit with heavy weapons. Face it your solders are under equipped.

You might not care about the report, but the 85% of your black countrymen living in poverty actually do care.

It is them, i'm most concerned about.

Which 85%? Earnings per capita in South Africa is 4 times more of Nigeria... if 85% of our black population is poor then Nigerians will be 4 times poorer.

So, are you really just going to say the same thing over and over even though it has been completely disproven?

What is wrong with you? Seriously dude, this is embarrassing.

The same issues, that have been confirmed by your defence minister

Mapisa-Nqakula said the Defence Review -- now before Parliament -- stated unambiguously that the SANDF was in a state of decline characterised by force imbalance between capabilities, ageing technology, and unaffordability of many of its main operating systems.

If You expect me to take your words over your defence minister, your're obviously hallucinating.



SANDF faces funding crisis


The SA National Defence Force (SANDF) is facing a "catastrophic" multi-billion-Rand financial crisis that could force mass retrenchments and the indefinite postponement of the acquisition of essential equipment.

Johannesburg daily The Times reported defence secretary Sam Gulube as saying a R1.1 billion budget shortfall could compel the SANDF into large-scale retrenchments and compulsory early retirement in order to survive and pay salaries.

The budget shortfall also meant the SANDF would have to cut operations and acquisitions.

Gulube was speaking after briefing Parliament's defence portfolio committee.




Before you comment further,

"South Africa's once-effective air force has new aircraft but cannot afford the fuel and maintenance needed to keep them in the air".

Please, go and by aviation fuel, this is really embarrassing for your airforce.

What do you mean rich? I have already concluded that your level of education is not above tertiary learning. Some concepts of economy are way too complicated for some pea-sized brain like yours to comprehend. Nigeria is not richer than SA at all. It only has a bigger consumer market.

My friend, the use of generators and absence of electricity is the epitomy of failure. Economy as big as Nigeria's should have a stable power supply and refrain from its backwardness.
If i were to pour your mumu into the river nile, it will change the colour of water all over Egypt and environs . Electricity up to this year was the exclusive area of the federal goverment so it was relatively inadequate. Like every federal establishments even in the US. So my point is if the government fails to provide electricity to a large part of the citizens, these citizens have the means and resources to buy and run generators as an alternative source of power. And it is more expensive for them if they were to pay for government electricity. They are not using candles or bush lamps. Nope. They own and run generators for daily needs. So even if government fails Our citizens are Rich to run the economy with alternative power to produce africa's biggest economy. We have the highest concentration of millionaires in africa not just the richest man. I "might" be no economic expert but you are sure one hell of a logic destitute and your IQ is too weak to bear the weight of kindergarten comprehension.

Poverty Rate in Nigeria is 46%
http://data.worldbank.org/country/nigeria

Poverty rate in South Africa is 20% (see citation i posted earlyer)

Do some math - if blacks make up over 80% of our population, and you say 85% of them live in poverty... how do we have a poverty rate of 20%?

85% of blacks live in poverty

[citation needed]

White households make 10times the amount of black households

- race is irrelevant

- the problem of income inequality in nigeria is worse
http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.POV.GINI

7% of the population run 90% of the economy.

- race is irrelevant

- the problem of unequal distribution of wealth is worse in Nigeria

7% of the minority white control 100% of the defence industry.

[citation needed]


As usual: No argument = time to talk about race

Like I said, Nigerians are inherently racist

Poverty rate in Nigeria

It said in its second edition of the Nigeria Economic Report (NER) which was launched in Abuja that going by the recent rebasing of the economy as well as analysis from the new General Household Surveys (GHS) conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) with the support of the Bank, new poverty estimates in 2010/2011 and 2012/2013 should be within the range of 35.2 per cent and 33.1 per cent respectively.

http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/...-33-1-/184259/

"Interest in Nigeria by international organisations and multinationals has continued to grow despite rising insurgency in the country, U.S-based economic advisory firm, Frontiers Strategy Group"

"The report, issued by the Wall Street Journal, said that out of 11 African countries in a survey conducted by the firm, Nigeria ranked first as the most preferred economy for investment by the multinationals, which included European and American firms."

http://businessdayonline.com/2014/06/nigeria-is-top-investment-destination-in-africa


Black middle class in South-Africa is only 15%, yet the morons make up 90% of the entire population.

You are very racist patrick, you're comfortable with the fact only a minority 7% of the population own 80% of the land, 90% of the economy and 100% of the defence industry. A country were white households make 10 times more than blacks. The most un-equal society on planet earth.
