Whenever you are blessed enough to start leaving your backyard, you will know how backward you are.

Gone are the Times of Mandela/OBJ. And now MTN N is a major player in this Scheme.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with our population; it`s one of the things that make Nigeria the giant of Africa. Have a good evening.

let me give you a scenario, a couple earns 500k monthly and have 2 kids and another couple earns the same and has 10 kids, which of these couples would better take care of their kids If the couple with 10 kids earns a lot more,then there won't be a problem. That is why our population is a problem in Nigeria cos we don't have enough resources to cater for even half of our population, we need to do a lot of birth control awareness,this should be a major project for the govt.

What does it matter? Some of you monkeys are already slowly begging the whites to bring back apartheid.
You animals must be relocated back to the townships if South Africa is to ever recover from your savagery.

I vote for Apartheid in South Africa and every sensible person on the planet who knows about black South Africans will do the same!

Apartheid in South Africa now!!!

blahj blahj blah, nothing new here, broken record nonsense. Dude do me a favour ok, focus on that dark cave called Naija, and leave South African issues to South Africans ok? Deal? And while we at it,...emancipate your mantal slavery . And oh I almost forgot, enjoy the generator fumes and potholes bye

lol, u want to compare Nigeria and south Africa, yes Nigeria is richest and 90M people live in abject poverty that's enough to contrast.

Nigerians we can deceive ourselves ernn, we are always quick to insult or rain abuses any other African country that dare says anything not nice about us, now to some people we are economically better than SA, where they get all these rubbish thinking from, beats me.

The heatbeat of Nigeria is in the South. Your state is a trash.

Better wake up and face reality...Nigeria though is our country but its also a very toothless...North or south its a sad story all round.but like I said earlier all hope it lost...so stop ur bragging cos it is this kind of ur mentality that has held the nation down for long.

When are you visiting China and India?

Let me leave you with a little bit of Reuben Abati:

" There is today in Nigeria an entire generation of Nigerian-passport wielding men and women who do not actually know, to borrow Achebe`s words that indeed ` there was once a country". Those children born in a season of austerity, and raised during the years that the locusts ate, have become angry citizens. They are angry because they live in a country that makes them feel less worthy. The only Nigeria that they know is a country that makes them feel ashamed of their own origins....
How could we have forgotten? How can we possibly forget? That this was once a country where Nigerians felt at home in virtually any part of the country.... There was a civil war yes, and things began to change but even after the war, it was never this bad.

In this same country, the naira used to be at par with the pound and was for many years stronger than the dollar.. So strong was the naira that many Nigerians, including the lower middle class could afford to travel to London on Friday evening, and attend a party in London on Saturday, attend church service on Sunday....and return to Nigeria early enough on Monday morning to be able to go to work. All that was no big deal. Everyone in London knew the Nigerians.... There was Nigeria Airways, owned and operated by the Nigerian government and it was one of the best airlines in Africa. Its pilots were rated among the best in the world. Its safety record was superb. And it was affordable. It was the pride of the nation. Within the country, Nigeria Airways was also efficient. A trip from Lagos to Calabar in those days was just 44 naira. Students enjoy rebates too
In this same country, once upon a time, public transportation system was impressive....This may sound like something being made up to the younger generation, but it is nothing but the truth. The railway system worked too, and one of the most prestigious jobs was to be a railway staff. That same Nigerian Railway Corporation that is now a parody of its former self, used to link up the entire country and it helped to build cities and villages, as the various major train stations became commercial centres...
Once upon a time in this same country, those who sent their children abroad did so majorly out of choice, not necessity, because Nigerian schools were among the best in the continent and the world. Teachers from different parts of the world, the best and the brightest, sought employment in Nigerian schools...
In this same country, we used to have industrial estate. In Lagos, Apapa, Ikeja and Isolo were Industrial estates. In Kaduna, Jos and Enugu, manufacturing companies created jobs and weath. We had uncles and aunties who used to do shifts in many factories and this country produced things: from refrigerators to bulbs to vehicles to metals to books, to textiles to shoes. Sad: many of those factories have become churches!
In the larger society, the present regime of no water, no fuel, no electricity was unheard of.... there was in fact at a time, the Nigerian standard, and this was the standard that other Africans look up to. This same country dominated the continent, morally,intellectually and culturally. Financially too: so rich was Nigeria that a former Head of State reportedly boasted that our problem was not money but how to spend it"

Ioannes:
thank you for confirming the identity of those that have become popular for drug smuggling, after all, I didn't mention names.

nobody says you shouldn't secede. go about it without preaching violence. it's the 21st century, there are better ways to do things than being crude.

What a beau-uti-iful response! I don't always agree with your comments, but this one takes the cake. Take a bow, monsieur... you spoke well.

jbichene:
i did not say anything about our leaders and their roads or whatever , if i stoop low enough to argue if we need whites to do somthing meaninful for ourselves i will be coming down to your level of intelligence, but i will assist your inferiority complex and ignorance by you asking you two question , Q1 in essence what you are saying is that Africans will need whites forever ? Q2 whats the difference between an African and a white man ? , you sound like all this old village men that will see an airplane and shout chai oyibo men get witch ; free advise, get better education obviously the one you already have is not enough to cure your complex.

So how are u equal in terms of ability to the whites?

Also, it is not true that Dstv made Nigerian movies popular. They were already popular before the end of apartheid. And it was only when apartheid ended that the other parts of Africa opened up to you. Dstv came in and cashed in on Nollywood's popularity to make more money for themselves.

There are other cultures in all of Africa; yet, none of them is as profitable as Nigeria's. That's why Dstv Africa magic can also be called Dstv Nigeria magic. You culture in SA is not as pofitable, hence your own company couldn't even export it!

For your info, dstv also have Africa magic Hausa, yoruba and they just launched Igbo, i think. Our content is what Dstv sells. When it comes to Music, ours is what get aired the most.

Lets put the usual rivalry and patriotism aside for a while and please listen to me a bit.

The very fact that your culture is not even aired or expoted at all outside of your territory (please don't argue with this point. Fact is we don't know your culture here in Nigeria. Most people don't know you have a music or movie industry) should be a concen for you. You know more than most people here what soft power is, and how important it could be in intenational geo politics. If you govt wants to maintain super power and be able to tap into the vast untapped sectors of Africa's economy, it needs to project soft power. You already have the platform in Dstv and other outlets, why don't you just put more of yourself there. At some critical point in Africa's politics,which is definitely coming, it could prove important for you

Go to any other country in Africa and see the dominance of South africa. The fact that south african brands can even come to Nigeria and dominates, it means something. It means that South Africa's pocket is deep and liquid.

Do you think if Nigeria fails to get tax from your informql businesses, they can do a rebase of an economy dominated by informal traders. At N320 to the dollar, your GDP is less than $300bn. Ask yourself why the government does not want to devalue its currency, they are aware that by so doing, it will send Nigeria to 2nd place in africa.
