Nigeria produces only 3000MW of electricity and compare that to 48000 MW that SA produces and you will get the answer.

SA enjoyed the whole month without power cuts


http://www.timeslive.co.za/local/2015/09/06/SA-enjoys-entire-month-without-load-shedding


Load shedding does not mean the power is unstable. Do you call rotational 3hour break of power supply once a week an unstable power? Then there must be something wrong with you. Nigeria must be worse because you guys use generators and you don't even keep them tunning 24 hours, seven days a week. There is a time where you will have to constantly leave the generator to breathe. I mean the break that will even exceed 3hours that South Africans experience once a week and sometimes not. You really must be kidding if you want to compare your power supply to that of. SA.
And u keep on denying? I'm done with u.

I don't deal with liars

nothing special let's take the numbers to ratios and see the differences. South Africa out of 50million people 12million of them are Facebook users........Nigeria with a population 180million only 15million of them are Facebook users.....you can see the difference all4kak!
First and foremost, stop making bogus claim here. South Africa's population is 52.98 million. You are always lying about your country yet you are a citizen of the most boring rainbow nation with lot of xenophobic Zulus. Mind you, that 15 million for Nigeria is monthly users not the active users. You didn't distinguish between them before plugging in your ratio conception. On absolute term Nigeria dwarfs the overrated South Africa. In relative term the difference is not too much. In other words what counts for Facebook is the total number of users where the ratio to the population is not relevant. I am really angry with the social media giant for choosing South Africa to set up its regional office. You are so myopic my friend.

I cannot see the importance of the difference at all because it is not relevant to Facebook. You are being sentimental about it instead of being reasonable. Bwahaha...

It has to do more with a country that has most of its population idling without jobs. I guess most South Africans are busy.
I think you are very funny. The total working population of Nigeria is more than your country's total population. Please...

Lol don't get confused the real reason for Facebook to choose south Africa either than infrastructure, its because south Africa owns 23% if not 24% of Facebook via naspers.......and if you need proof GOOGLE is your friend DUMMY!

Liar in what sense when I attached the source to prove to you that load shedding is not a constant action that is applied to South Africans. Firstly, when it stated it affected us twice or trice a week, and it improved to only once a week and now it will be only a monthly occurrence. So, tell me how is that supply unstable when we have more of power available for most of the times than is not?

then u truly are a stup1d Nigerian . If Uve been here ud understand why zuckerburg opened his offices in South Africa and not Nigeria or any other african country. We generate more power than evry1 in africa . Load shedding (cutting power for 3hours a week)is no more coz we have more power plants being completed as we speak .nuclear is just an add on for the rise in demand as our population grows. Nigerians shud learn to use their brains instead of hearts in debates.

Remember, four Nigerians industrial workers share one monthly salary of only a one South African industrial worker. Five teachers in Nigeria share only one monthly salary of a SA teacher and so are your doctors, engineers, lawyers, etc.

You made that up! Even though Napster own a share on the social media giant it is not an excuse to set office in SA. There are better Facebook offices in other countries which don't have shares with the company. Now move on to your Township with your lies.

Excluding that $100Billion, we are currently completing this 2 power stations, medupi and kusile power stations, both will produce 9 600MW, double the nigerian capacity which is 4600MW. Remember currently SA produces 46 000MW, so 46 000 + 9 600 = 55 600MW within 2yrs, while nigeria still talks about 4000MW.

where do they work? Even when they do work, but a worker in south africa earns 5 times than a nigerian doing similar job, hence SA has more middle class population which is 28m than nigeria's 4m.

Nigeria came in fourth despite having the largest economy in Africa, and close to 180 million
inhabitants; Prinsloo attributes that to the country’s dependence on oil and the significant amount of
residents that are in the lower income level.
“The trouble with Nigeria is two-fold, the economy is highly skewed towards oil production, and yes
the government is trying to diversify that potentially even into automotive manufacturing and that will
help a lot but the problem.”
“Almost 60 per cent of the country survives on less than 2 dollars a day, that doesn't yet provide the
opportunity for big retailers to come and invest; you need the strong middle class.

The fact remains, South Africa pay far better salaries than Nigeria. That is why all your teachers and doctors come here to look out for jobs. SA pay high salaries and even our president is the forth most highly paid president in the world.

That's a r e t a r d statistic. You have to provide the criteria, the sources and how they find out there is 4 million middle class in Nigeria. If you think SA has more middle class than Nigeria you think wrong. You only have richer middle class than Nigeria. Period!

Facebook has to look into this issue properly and move the office from SA to Nigeria. The users-based is a clear evidence we have been scammed by South Africa to have the office there. Zulus are bunch of scams indeed.

do a research and stop disputing any arguement without facts. Nigeria has only 1.7% of its population as middle class, the rest are either poor or living on $2 per day, thats like R26, my lunch alone costs R80.

Nonsense. I ask you for your sources, criteria, etc yet you couldn't provide any. You are only pointing to exchange rate by using your R80-meal argument. You forget the value of money in both countries. That R80 can buy a meal and provide transportation in Nigeria.Meaning that most poor people in Nigeria are as good as Zulus in Townships. I know you still don't understand what I am talking about.

You need to be tutored. Article says of the 120m African users, 15m are in Nigeria. Most of this 120m African users are in Northern Africa. Now tell me, Mr. Xenophobia, how situating Facebook's African office in SA justifies where the earnings come from. And did I hear you say earning is the same thing as emotion?
