SkyBlue1: Apart from the old western European countries with their classical infrastructure mixed with modernity, south Africa's infrastructure is actually better than most of the other European countries. Coming From someone who has visited 15 of them countries. The likes of Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Latvia,Albania, Hungary do not have comparable infrastructure. 1 Like |

I don't know how people become too sentimental to think that this country will ever work. It's blind faith. I wish I could get such faith, but unfortunately pramatism will not let me. I do not feel bad when people refer to Nigeria as a zoo. It is almost like a zoo. I rest my case. Talkin abt this place, this entity called Nigeria, will only bring you headache. I refuse to blame anyone who seem to have lost hope here. |

We cannot afford to remove the better ones from the chessboard while the clueless ones are wrecking havoc. While the money might not be there to build world class infrastructure, you do not need too much money to enforce town planning rules.

Rossikk: You are on point, if we thoroughly evaluate Nigeria's development before and after Independent.Yes. Nigeria has developed beyond what colonia master left behind. What legacy did British leave behind rather than the railway they built to transport resources to their country? On the other hand, they came to Nigeria to exploit her, but on the other hand they went to SA with the intention of wiping away the native blacks and to build themselves a nation(annex of U.K). The same way they succeeded in wiping away the native black aborigines in Austrialia. Hence, the magnificent and impressive infracstructures in SA. What a great diservice to Nigeria. However, i am not blind to see and to say that SA has gone far in terms of development than Nigeria. Although, Nigeria in recent times, is also developing but to be truthful, on a snail pace. Understandable(but not acceptable), the millitary rules, corruption, tribalism etcetera is/has been the cause. For Nigeria to cas |

South Africas INDUSTRIALIZATION started in the 1950s till 1980s fuelled by MINING ECONOMY. Note: SA still exported alot of GOLD, DIAMONDS,PLATINUM etc.. to Britain who were in control of S.A. mining industry. South Africas mineral wealth led to Anglo-Boer war. British won using Africans fighting for the British army and took control of the rest of S.A. After the Anglo-Boer war the boers were POOR AND WEAK and given pieces of land by Brits to farm.

It is the largest congress of its kind in the property industry in SA and in Africa, according to Radebe and a platform to look at all the big issues in the industry. “Happy customers mean happy retailers and that leads to happy shopping centres. That is why working with retailers is becoming more and more important.” She pointed out that there are currently more than 2 000 shopping centres in South Africa and the country has in fact the 6th highest number of shopping centres in the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfnFnY6Snak |
