Sowore needs to go back to school to study political. Science , To be a leader you need sound education and diplomacy to engage other nations, be a good listener and speak in relation to the question.
This is one thing I like about Obama.

I don't blame SABC. If only successive Nigerian Governments have been responsible and had done the right thing to make the country truly great! Imagine six Nigerians killed for seeking asylum in Cameroon just yesterday! I became sober since the news broke, moreso as the Nigerian Government has not turned on the heat on the Cameroonian Government for the sad incident! Sad indeed!

malcom2x:
You clearly do not understand, it's not about physical development but about Nigeria's role in the growth of Africa as a black nation. It's about the key importance of Nigeria to Africa. Both in military might.

Besides, S.A was not a sovereign nation at the point of industrialization you mentioned. They lived as slaves in their fatherland.


On the other hand, the young man, Sowore should have been more diplomatic about his statement. He's just an aspirant yet.

How is Nigeria South Africa's older brother?

South Africa was developed long before Nigeria even began to develop.

South Africa's oldest universities were built in the nineteenth century. Our oldest uni was built in the 1960s.

They've had good infrastructure for several decades before we started building ours in the 1960s.

The white colonialists actually spent SA's export proceeds from gold etc, in developing the country, unlike in Nigeria where they simply looted our resources to enrich the Queen and her cohorts. By 1960, Nigeria was an underdeveloped backwater with mass illiteracy and near zero infrastructure, while South Africa was already an industrialised nation.

So the truth is that South Africa is our older brother, not the other way round.

wise7:
So true. But then, why "waste" your precious life for Nigeria when it's worth nothing anymore.

shotuns:
Well,Sowore could be a good leader,but in Politics experince matters and one of the reason why fomer office holders have better Judgement and are being consulted for advise on crucial matters. 70% isnt enough to lead a country like Nigeria. You need 99. 9% in all . Remember Nigeria is a complex institution.

Oga, Nigeria did not come into existence in 1960 and as at 1960, Lagos for instance was booming. So also were pockets of other Nigerian cities like Port Harcourt, Onitsha, Enugwu, Kaduna, Ibadan and Kano.
Your white south Africans only developed very places where they stayed and where the coloured African including your black south African dare not go not to talk living.

Truth is, south Africa came into existence in 1993 with the end of apartheid.

JaceBlaze:
Does this also mean that America came into existence when Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery after the civil war?

JaceBlaze:
Nigerians and delusions are inseparable like pieces of wood attached by super glue.How is a country with no electricity a big brother to a country like SA? Nigeria recently overtook India as the number 1 most poverty stricken country in the world,with a reputation like that,who are you going to lead?

Ovamboland:
Thinking like a kid, you are talking of white controlled south Africa, Sowore is talking of black controlled SA which happened only in 1994

Henri8:
United States of America came into existence with their defeat of colonial Britain.

Tibatobi1:
South Africa's oldest universities were built in the nineteenth century. What is the name of the university....

thesicilian:
This is the kind of talk that makes you want to lay down your life for your country.

wizseller:
Is it the minority development for the minority that you are talking about...


While you talk about this SA development....was it inclusive....what was the fate of majority of south Africans in their own country?


How many black people were in these SA universities?


Can you touch on the leading role Nigeria played in emancipating black south Africans


Didn't you see the volume of trade between Nigeria and SA?


Is it by natural or human resources

Population or land mass abi global exploits

We are their big brothers joor

Zenithpeak:
Nigeria is a mess because our enemies are always on the seat of power. A time will come that people of good intentions and will-power will assume the seat of power. But Nigerians will need to fight with their lives to win the war against the demons that are changing political parties here and there.

nduka84:
If they are Nigerias big brother. Why are they having only one privately owned TV station, while Nigeria has close to 15. They also kill Nigerians whenever their xenophobic madness starts, but Nigeria always acts as a big brother, without retaliating the killings here in Nigeria.

Amacaco:
Nigeria is and will always be South Africa 's elder brother. The fact that they are more developed than us not withstanding, Nigeria became free and independent several years before them and helped immensely in the fight against apartheid. Nigeria is more populous than any other African country including South Africa. That the youngest or younger one in a family is richer does not make him to be older than his elder brothers or sisters in the family.

delpee:
The FG and Nigerians were so passionate about the fight for freedom in SA in the 70s and 80s. Most musicians sang freedom songs and we were given the honorary status of a frontline state because of our massive support. The frontline states were African countries close to SA like Zimbabwe, Namibia and Angola.

All Federal Colleges and Universities had SA students who were on scholarship and well cared for even during holidays. Why they have turned round to 'hate' us baffles me. Or maybe our citizens are doing something wrong there.
