LMFAO, when was this "booming" ? Dude , Nigeria has never been a great country , stop your delusions . Our grannies in Nigeria? GTFOH. Lol , fool , survival is not a Nigerian thing , it's a human trait. You have been treated and made to believe you aren't human for long enough , that's why you think having human traits is something extra ordinary . Yes, you must survive the pithole you have created for yourselves.

johnnyvid:
health care, peaceful atmosphere, cultural values, love from people.

rampantlover:
Didn't a Nigerian called Nigeria a zoo republic? There are over two million Nigerians in Ghana. Your country country is a complete and utter joke to us Ghanaians. That's why we were angry when your Fulani herdsman president said he will help Ghana fight corruption. Lol

johnnyvid:
i could remember when I was in primary school then, it was migrant ghanians that was teaching us English. Abi you want to argue that one too. Hmmmmmmmmm. on every side, Nigerians hasn't been doing great in home and abroad. it's those ones that want to soiled their names badly that's destroying their reputation. never in your life you will be comparing Nigeria with Ghana OK. GDP growth, Nigeria beats your country hands-down.

Jaqenhghar:
Hahahahahaaahaa!
Maybe you mean a different Nigeria.
Love from people.hahahhahaha
You sound like one of those miserable TV ads they run mostly on NTA telling people all is well

0monnak0da:
I am not sure if you have left primary school.
So what if Ghanains taught English

Are Nigerians not prostitutes now in Ghana?
I won't talk about Libya,Holland, Italy, Belgium and so on. Go to the city centre in Prague.
Nigerians are beiing mobbed daily in Inda like animals

Are Nigerian men not prostitutes today?

Guy look n the mirror and stop boasting emptily.
Nigerans need to be very sober and keep their mouths closed

Nigeria does not beat anything


Nigeria is literally one of the shittiest places on Earth.

johnnyvid:
lol you are very funny.

Mzansian:
America and Sweden are first world countries, but can you seriously compare the two in terms of standards of living? . Where would any sane person choose to live , SA or Nigeria? . Growing tribalism between Zulus and Xhosas? Dude what you smoking , where did you get that from?. Actually as from February unemployment is reducing and the economy is growing, slowly yes but it's better than before. The welfare system seems to really hurt you Nigerians, the same you queue up for in the first world countries you run to . Oh we know how you parasites operate, when you reach those countries . Let me educate your clueless self.

The people that get those benefits are the most vulnerable amongst us. Unlike you people who put cows before humans , who have 10 year olds as maids and gate boys. Who have children under the age of 18 as professional beggars, no SA child is a street begger. You spit on the disabled and treat the begging elderly like crap. Here is what we do;

1. To avoid having under age beggars , child Labour etc we give children under the age of 18 whose parents are unemployed 12,165.17 NGN /380 as a life line. 27,979.90 NGN / R920 for foster care.

2. Those over the age of 60 with no other means of financial income, get 48,660.69 NGN/R1600 , including refugees like yourself .

3. Disabled people with no means to an income get 51,394.67 NGN/R1690.

As you can see no able bodied SA young person gets supporterd by welfare , we work for our money but we can never ever practice what you practice in that hell hole ; ignoring the helpless and vulnerable. It's inhumane , even in the Germany you escaped to they help their vulnerable people.

Our national minimum wage is R3500/ 106,367.77 NGN , and they qualify for free / subsidized houses. They have free health care. How much do Nigerian street swippers , cleaners, factory workers etc get paid ? . What is the benefit of being a Nigerian citizen ?

Isn't it funny that a Nigerian is insinuating that south africans are not focusing on education , skills development etc?

Boy , know your lane. We have invested 57billion rands , to free quality higher education this year alone, what are you investing in your education and training?

Our national budget for free basic education is 246.8 billion Rands, this my friend could rival your whole fvkn national budget . IDC alone has raised R7.4-billion, to fund black industrialists , many other organizations and bodies are doing the same together with government. This means the skills that our education budget will produce will be pumped into the industries, which will translate to more entrepreneurs, low unemployment rate, low crime rate, etc . With the land reforms undeway , our agricultral sector will be 5 times bigger which will increase our GDP , not on paper like others . These are not dreams but things we are busy with, while others are sitting in far away lands criticizing our past mistakes and playing experts on our issues, while worst things are happening in their backyard hence they choose to flee to enjoy the sweat of hardworking germans, SAns, Brits, Ghananians . Leeches!

In conclusion; yes we are able to sustain ourselves, yes the future looks great , yes our welfare system is here to stay , yes our government is dedicated to promoting; development, growth , creativity and independence. Yes , our children will live in a first world country before yours , we are not wishing for that but working on it .

THE END!!

i will educate you about your country even if you refuse to see her backwardness. your country SOUTH Africa is the only country in Africa where being black skin is a disgrace and shame, It is a serious problem when you are black in SA. in your country It is hard to break the poverty chain if you are black and somehow you have to have your head above the water. Unemployment is real and BEE that is initiated by government do not cover you all, but mostly Indians and corrupt blacks.

Education is still very poor for an average black person in South Africa. your schools are either under a tree / just like we have it in NIGERIA NORTH. The Locations are no better because even though they may a have a good structure, the education and dedications of your so called teachers and material given are poor in comparison. your government takes out monies from capital expenditure every year or so for school material and give it to criminals hiding under BBE companies. Every time this issue is raised there will be some racial cloud in South Africa and every one will be destructed and another year will pass. No one pays, but you the black child. at least NIGERIA govt are proud in this regard.

The young people among you guys that finished high school and some with college diploma end up in offices as receptionists or doing some job like call centre agents. Unfortunately the number of Indian call centre agents is larger than that of black agents, English again becomes a problem. it is common to see black in south africa unable to express himself or herself in english language. what make your case difference from NIGERIA student? even in your university level(with availability of bursaries)fewer blacks are graduating in comparison with Indians. the colored were favored by the apartheid when compared to the blacks, yet today your BEE initiative says an Indian and Chinese are classified as black, so most of the businesses and jobs go there, and the black carries the lazy label while doing menial work at Shoprite Checkers.

The Chinese are buying you out economically and it seems nobody wants to admit that as a problem in your country. foreigners are taking over you job and it seems you care not at least you are given unemployment benefit to shut up. Chinese are building cities across your country, importing their own people to do work and buying their way into the few mineral resources you got left. They are doing what previous colonial forces have done to you and they have no qualms stripping you bare and flooding your market with cheap plastic goods. you think that is OK. NIGERIA in this position is not in anyway better but it has not gotten to this stage.


Even with your over-hype standard of living and your ballon minimum wage you intend to compare with Nigeria naira, there is a problem with your economy, there is a perfect storm brewing between your government and the banks - government is overtaxing the rapidly shrinking middle class because of this minimum wage(tell us how much is your minimum tax) whilst your banks are selling them more and more credit to sustain what is essentially average lifestyles. so many business and government are broke to the extent that their may not be enough money to pay taxes or debts owing which will lead to the destruction of the main stream of income for government. how will you guys not kill and murder foreigner if it continue just like this. south Africa is not working simple.....

America and Sweden are technological advance country, their means of income is not base on local mining unlike your country and Nigeria, the means of income is base on putting their brain to work. until your country reach that stage, then she can be qualify to be called a first world country. beside your few 11 eleven tribes are not in harmony as expected.


HEll NO, I CANNOT LIVE IN YOUR COUNTRY EXCEPT FOR JUST VISITING. I LIVE IN WHERE YOU ARE DREAMING OFF. for me to work in Africa, i will rather stay in my own country.

How Much Nigeria is Owing China $60 billion in 2016 ,now it is up to $75 billion. You will sell Lagos State to pay China.

See How Much Nigeria is Owing China According to National Bureau of Statistics.

Nigeria appears to be heavily indebted to China just as the nation battles with a massive debt in excess of $60 billion.

The Federal Government of Nigeria’ indebtedness to China stood at $3.22bn at the end of December 2016, according to a report released on Tuesday by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

This is part of the total foreign debt stock of both the federal and state government which was put at $11.41bn by the bureau.

The domestic debt of the two tiers of government stood at N14.02trn at the end of December 2016.

A breakdown of the foreign debt shows that $7.99bn was multilateral; $198.25m was bilateral (ADB) and $3.22bn from the Exim Bank of China credited to the Federal Government.

The report added that of the Federal Government’s domestic debt, N7.56 trillion or 68.41 per cent are in Federal Government bonds, N3.28 trillion or 29.64 per cent are in treasury bills and N215.99 million or 1.95 per cent are in treasury bonds.

The report also showed that Lagos State has the highest domestic debt profile among the states accounting for 10.54 per cent of the debt stock.

LMFAO @ let me educate you about your country. Nigerians never cease to amaze when it comes to fake sense of self.


LOL, it's a disgrace to be black in SA? . Dude , the people who are known for hating their blackness are your people; you bleach your skin like no other. You call other Africans " charcoal or * black*. Any chance you get you attribute anything good to Onyibo and curse the black race . Have you ever heard South Africans looking down on themselves as black people?. We are one of the few Africans that are still practising our own customs and traditions with pride. White people left Nigeria before you were born , but in huge numbers you still have their names, I wouldn't be suprised if you answer to John . Your only official language is that of a white man . You kill each other over white and Arab religions and hate your own ways , dumbness or weak mindedness?. You are drowning in the Mediterranean Sea weekly to get to Onyibo land to be prostitutes and thugs, if that's not self hate , I don't know what it is. It's difficult for black SAns to break the chain of poverty? . The same black people that don't only make the biggest middle class in SA but the whole continent? Delusional!!!. Nigeria has the poorest people on earth , it has overtaken India, maybe you should educate your folks on how to break that chain, don't you think ?. BEE like some other policy is a failed experiment, that's why there is a new one in place ,called RET. That is SA for you , when we fail in something we admit it and take a new route , not use the same old one like you guys do .


Yes , some finish diplomas and matric and become receptionists, is that peculiar only in SA or the black race ? You sound desparate. I bet you finished a degree and went to Germany to clean toilets . Lol, you have statistics on call center agents in SA? . This is getting ridiculous. You are talking about things you know nothing about . There is a reason why we have 57billion rands for free higher quality education, we had poor students dropping out because they could not afford somethings like, residence . We identified the problem and came up with a solution, we didn't not run like some scumbags to enjoy those benefits in another man' s land. SA graduates can't express themselves in English? Really ? . By the way English is one of SA languages not the main . A SA graduate stands a better chance of getting a good job compared to a nigerian. You are sounding more clueless in your rants , the coloureds were favored and what exactly do they have now? What is the difference between their neighborhoods and the black ones? . Other races in SA don't do menial jobs?. It's fools like you who call others lazy when you are worse off.



Chinese buying what ? Lol. You are projecting, Nigeria is the biggest Chinese bytch in the continent. You import everything from them , killing your own little industries and it seems like there will be no end to it . SA doesnt allow china to bring their crimminals here , you are projecting again. It's you who are allowing them in droves to do labour that should be done by your people, laziness?. Name one city I'm SA built by Chinese? Foreigners taking over our jobs? I think this line is overplayed already. The only foreigners people some people were complaining about were the ones taking menial jobs , not because they were hardworking or smart but because they are easily exploited. They get paid a quarter of our national minimum wage, and they are delighted to have it . But then again if you come from a country like Nigeria where minimum wage is more like slave wage , wouldn't you be happy to get those peanuts in SA? .

Yes , our standards of living are way better than yours, don't try to underlay that one. And yes, our minimum way better than yours whether in rands , pounds, dollars or nairas , you can't dispute that you get paid slave wages in Nigeria hence you had to run off to enjoy the benefits of Germany. Did anyone say there is no problem with our economy at the moment ? Stop venting and stick to what this is about. Lol, you are projecting again, rapidly shrinking middle class? SA or Nigeria?. SA works for South Africans, that is why we are still here trying to fix the problems we have, unlike the "experts" who choose to run and enjoy the Labour of other men. Nigerians would rather be slaves in lybia than be free man in Nigeria, what do you think that means ?


You are clueless again , go and check out which sectors contribute more to our GDP and come back here and apologize. SA is the most diverse economy in Africa , we are not only focused on mineral resources unlike your nation. SA is also the most industrialized nation in Africa and in my post before this one , I showed how dedicated we are on improving on that. Like I said before , SA will become a first world country way before Nigeria does . SA has 11 tribes ? . Are there any indications that the different tribes can't live together in peace in SA ? Lol, you make SA sound like your Nigeria where tribal conflicts are the order of the day ?


LMAO, millions of your people's visas get rejected in SA yearly . That should tell you something. You wouldnt live in SA because you live in a nation that has reached where we want to reach . If you lived in that dark zoo, it would be a diffrent case . How many SAns dream of visiting let alone living in Nigeria? . Don't deny the obvious. Aren't you a bit embarrassed to be bragging about living in nice Germany, when your papa land is a kraal, to a person who is living in similar conditions in her own country ? . This is stupid!. But I expect nothing less, you can take them out of the zoo but they will still remain animals.


WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF BEING A NIGERIAN CITIZEN?

XhosaNostra:
Lol, you've got time.

For those always claiming shìt, here is an interview by Chris Hani, giving in detail what they did in those secret military training & where they did them. According to him, some of "our loving African brothers" treated them (the cadres) with resentment in their countries. Oh, how tables turn!

Mzansian:
Lol, he needs some education .


Thanks for this , they really don't know that these " brothers " treated our people like shyt , some even working with the enemy .

XhosaNostra:
Exactly! South Africans were truly on their own. It seems it's only Zambia who could be trusted, according to what Chris says in the interview. I miss him too btw. May his soul rest in peace. I cried when he passed away lol .

Mzansian:
Lol, why are telling me about Ghana?. Are you high or something ?. I love it when you guys talk about a big GDP , when the majority are living in abject poverty.

ba7man:
Ghana generates roughly 2000 MWs of electricity but because they have small developed areas compared to Nigeria, it's enough to go round.

Lagos alone requires more power than the whole of Ghana.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF BEING A NIGERIAN CITIZEN?

rampantlover:
So why are you still Ghana if Nigeria is better? Are you that stupid?

vaxx:
My SA friend is now speaking from emotions instead of giving out fact, i am more mentally balance to be disturbed by your insult and gutter language. i will still educate you here again like i did earlier. you see you do not raise a point apart from bringing in personal attack and unnecessary defend. i assume you own a university degree, so act like an intellectual.

Before i go on educating you about the benefit that comes along for being a Nigerian. let me quickly summarize why your country SA IS NOT IN ANYWAY BETTER AND SHE IS STILL REGARD AS A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY. your country SA is a country of contrast- very rich and very poor, very urban and very rural.in fact the most unequal country in the whole world is SA. The gap between the poor and the rich is of extreme in margin despite government initiative. Deals with this problem first and likewise other problems i am listing here The use of Internet is not accessible to everyone, Technology like a simple computer is not accessible to everyone neither do some of you know how to use them.Electricity Load shedding at random, Water is cut at random, Dirt roads are found in a lot of places.Shacks make a very large community.Learning is held in very poor conditions and classrooms are not good enough for people to be in. let your corrupt leader solve this one first, then i will consider them a step ahead of NIGERIA.

Now let me educate you about the most populous black country in the world . Nigeria. my friend ask me what is the benefit of being a Nigerian?
Being a NIGERIAN, we entitled you to be born in land of massive opportunity, despite the inadequacy of the government and corruption in the country, the margin of the rich and poor is not as extreme like that of SA but it is visible, there are abundant opportunity to kick start in NIGERIA that has been overused in SA . in NIGERIA , Her citizens would fare better if it fully utilizes its full potential in terms of agriculture, mining, forestry, tourism etc…all of which are currently virtually untapped, but have huge and massive potential. Not only would Nigeria beat SA, but it would rise to the top economies of the world. so the hope of a good leadership to annexed this potential is what every Nigeria is looking forward to.

well,it is easy to mistake the lack of infrastructure in Nigeria for lack of development.(THOUGH THERE IS MASSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE GOING ON) I will be the last person to say Nigeria is not developed , not because I am a Nigerian but because I understand certain thing. Although i agree it is not yet a first world country, but not lesser to south Africa, they are many report out there suggesting that the west could be dependent more on Nigeria and her citizens than Nigeria and are citizens depend on them. NIGERIA IS EVEN A BIG AID DONNER TO SOME AFRICA COUNTRIES.just a certain individual in Nigeria by the name jimoh ibrahim paid a whole civil servant of Sao tome principle salary when the country went broke. there are countries that have only one or no power plant serving the entire Nation but Nigeria has lots. It is nearly impossible to count the number of companies in Port Harcourt, Lagos and nnewi or ogun state. There are software startups like andela and testing companies like Tezza and this companies are growing day by by day.

Now the problem, The population is about 180 million so the country needs far more industries , far more power plants far more roads, bridges and building to feel developed. so Nigeria problem is bigger than yours due to her size in population and land area. just like how china/india problem is bigger than NIGERIA. BUT When a country accounts for the richest set of people in Africa then NIGERIA is great. Nigeria is one of the few countries you can live to become richer than PHD holder even if you are a university drop out.i am not exaggerating , i know what am saying. the potential is just there. NIGERIANS spent close to 1000 dollars just to visit south Africa excluding BTA, that should be about 14,000 rands according to my rough estimation. that is a lot of cash to south Africans. this money is made in NIGERIA. and the potential of getting such amount by south africans themselves is very slim(especially among blacks) NIGERIANS CITIZENS ARE ADVENTUROUS, you will find them almost in every places. even Somalia or Iraq. it is not always about the value in the country, it is about the human instinct and the cultural value of survival that is spread in the country.'' until you live your comfort zone, you will never know the meaning of life''.


Many of you guys do not realize Nigeria is actually moving forward, albeit slowly. People are beginning to ask questions, people are beginning to get restless, more and more people are beginning to get educated on what is happening in the government. the election system is now more credible than it was, Eventually, more people are gaining enough interest in the politics of Nigeria. people are now demanding for accountability, the wish to actually vote out all the bad leaders and vote in competent and well educated leaders into power is now the news of the day. as you can see here on the political section of nairaland. this attitude will eventually lead to emergence of competent people, and this set of PEOPLE will start running for political offices, instead of leaving it to misfits.

Nigeria will get there eventually, maybe before you though. this is not just hope, it is the tenacity that hold every right thinking minded Nigerians.


AS you can see, i do not mention cosmetic or fancy ceremonial project that you accolade with south Africa here, i gave a practical response to your question. what is the use of social welfare if it is not affecting the lives of the blacks in SA, it is this not a shame or political disgrace.

Mzansian:
You are the one being all emotional, you are telling me; if Nigeria would do this and that, then Nigeria would be great. On the other hand ,I'm showing you what we are doing and the progress we have made in the last 24 years . So who is being realistic here ? Show me the numbers; the budget for the things that will make Nigeria great , I showed you mine didn't I? Show me the stats on people who have access to basic amenities , mine are below. Yes , you have a lot of billionaires than any African country , infact even more than some first world countries, but would a sane nation celebrate 10 people living large while +/-80% of the population doesn't even have the basics of basics? . I would rather have more millionaires , more middle class and systems that cater for the vulnerable , thank you.


1. 90% of the South African population has access to 24hrs of electricity. Check the link below. I hear the opposite is the reality for you, 80% have no electricity, you can prove me wrong though.

https://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/nearly-90-of-sa-has-electricity-stats-2030406


2. 92,5% of SA households have access to improved drinking water. Check the link below .

http://www.statssa.gov.za/?p=9145

Nationally, the percentage of households with access to improved sanitation facilities increased from 62,3% in 2002 to 80% in 2015.

VS

7. You mentioned shacks/ slums . 80% of SAns live in formal housing with electricity and water . This Stats below are from 2014, will check the latest .

http://www.statssa.gov.za/?p=6429

You talked about the scarcity of water , fool, do you know what drought means? . That's why there was a thread here in foreign affairs with people of Cape Town queuing for water , they are the most affected . This has nothing to do with incompetence or lack of infrastructure, Cape Town still remains the best city in Africa even with that problem .

The things I mentioned above , are some of the most important indicators of development and progress, and after 60 vs 24 years , the other seems to be moving at a higher speed in improving the lives of all, whille the other is focused on the rich who make up less than 1% of the population. If that's not embarrassing, I don't know what is. SA is gearing itself towards joining the first world nations, but first we have to take care of all our people. That is why in the earlier post I showed you the money being put on education, skills and business development for the previously disadvantaged. The policies being implemented in January will help grow the economy and new players will emerge in the formal economy . We refuse to have a big GDP that does not reflect on the ground . If you can stop preaching to me how much you are industrious and adventurous as Nigerians,and how you think SA is not working, and kindly show me ; what Nigeria is doing to give her people basic amenities, how much are you investing in your education and Healthcare? , the grants in place to encourage entrepreneurship ?. You say the benefit of being a Nigerian is what again? . How come you all are running in your numbers from that huge consumer market to less populated countries where getting rich quickly is not part of the culture , people in those countries care more about quality of life , comfort and the ease of everyday life. How come you get there and queue for benefits of those nations ? .

Mzansian:
You are the one being all emotional, you are telling me; if Nigeria would do this and that, then Nigeria would be great. On the other hand ,I'm showing you what we are doing and the progress we have made in the last 24 years . So who is being realistic here ? Show me the numbers; the budget for the things that will make Nigeria great , I showed you mine didn't I? Show me the stats on people who have access to basic amenities , mine are below. Yes , you have a lot of billionaires than any African country , infact even more than some first world countries, but would a sane nation celebrate 10 people living large while +/-80% of the population doesn't even have the basics of basics? . I would rather have more millionaires , more middle class and systems that cater for the vulnerable , thank you.


1. 90% of the South African population has access to 24hrs of electricity. Check the link below. I hear the opposite is the reality for you, 80% have no electricity, you can prove me wrong though.

hehee, this time around i will not be writting plenty, i will simply recommend a book for you to learn, i see you are founding it hard to be educated online, maybe manual process will break the YOKE, The book is called Wat nou, Suid-Afrika? in English, it is translated What now, South Africa? written by Theuns Eloff. it should not be more than 100 rand so get that piece of academic paper to change your life.

i am matured enough to be comparing online statistics with you, i am more abreast with the subject, so i am presenting the content to you. it is now left for you to prove me wrong by either going to your national library or visiting online links like what you are doing now . it is one way of the way i am using to educate you. Nigeria wealth is not in oil but in her people. that is why many of her citizens are representing her in various disciple home and abroad. (i am aware your countries has a lot of american expatriate and foreign national in her medicine, pharmacy and diamond industry) A new report suggest that Nigerian immigrant in the USA are the most educated African immigrant, i am sure UK will not be left out. in Nigeria There is a big chunks of people with qualifications in just more than one discipline with MBAs and PHDs! so Many citizens are qualified in the best universities around the world. education is in Nigerians DNA.

You can start almost any business of your choice or industry in NIGERIA.maybe investors would one day discover the wealth of this nation which is not in oil but in human capital. The true wealth and progress of Nigeria is its extraordinary human capital, and passion for education. Unleash that and no one can stop her! not the so called social welfare that is simply an academic exercise. SO MANY BLACK SOUTH AFRICANS ARE POOR FINANCIALLY AND INTELLECTUALLY. i hope you will also go online like you did earlier to buttress this point friend. i need to put my pen down here.

LMFAO, you are dancing around like a headless chicken . Prove you wrong in what? . Haven't I shown you the life of the average South African and that of the average Nigerian? . I know it's hard to take in, but you need to embrace the truth and find ways to fix your nation, not run off to enjoy the sweat of other men like the leeches you have proven yourselves to be. Prove my stats wrong .

LOL, you have Nigerians helping westerners make their countries great, while your own home looks like a zoo? . That's smart . We dummies of the South , choose to go and study in those world class institutions, then after graduating headback to SA to improve our home. We invite well skilled expatriates to help us out where we lack , thereby transferring skills to the youth. That's better than what the intellectuals of Nigeria do ; importing everything including 1900's trains they can't even maintain without the Chinese . Being the intellectuals of the world must a curse, because the home of intellectuals has the worst cities, the worst standards of living , the worst education system, the worst Healthcare system.


LOL, there he goes sounding intellectual again. I did go digging online, you stone , and the stats everywhere say ; NIGERIANS ARE THE POOREST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, ONLY THE ELITE HAVE ACCESS TO THE MOST BASIC AMENITIES . NIGERIA HAS ONE OF THE LARGEST NUMBERS OF ILLITERATES IN THE WORLD.

SA WILL BE A FIRST WORLD COUNTRY BEFORE NIGERIA , that is a fact .

BYE.

always making me to laugh when you said Nigeria people are poor. in what way ? is it not the same South Africa where Siemens and mtn are donating kits and drugs for Hiv/aids endemic patient. they even go to all your villages and communities to check more on the high rate of HIV'/aid diseases. up till tomorrow, United Nations and Bill Gates still donates, food,drugs and money to those that have HIV and aids diseases. Infact it's at high rate. in South Africa, in a family of 5, you will 3 families of members having HIV and aids. even there grannies even. this high rate of HIV endemic diseases is been much due to high rate of uneducated people in South Africa. not to talk much, google it. stop praising your country OK. the likes of your people comes to Nigeria every weekend to seek deliverance from t.b Joshua from demons that's been troubling their generations.

You just had to prove that all her assertions about your country are accurate didn't ya?especially the part about high illiteracy rate.NO educated person will even think of making a mockery of people living with AIDS,your country never even bothered to introduce programmes that teach people what HIV really is..chai

without going any further,read the sreenshots below (pay attention to the circled and underlined parts) educate yourself about your poor healthcare system

Your country doesn't see allocating money towards the health care as their priority
