UniportAgbero:
So they know that both mtn and dstv depends on us.

MTN and DSTV makes more money in Nigeria than in their home country.
It is a mark of our purchasing power.

IronGalaxy:
Travel a bit, you'll realise Naija is in the league of Djibouti

Says a clown that has not been to Nigeria.

If Djibouti is the biggest economy in Africa, them the rest of Africa, then the rest of Africa must be worse than shitt.

BTW, most African countries only invest in their capital.
The rest is a complete shitt-show.
From Kenya to Tanzania to Uganda, Zimbabwe, Botswana, e.et.c.
Unlike Nigeria,their capitals are their only prominent cities.
South Africa is an exception. So you can heave a sigh of relief.

IronGalaxy:
whatever happens in Nigeria? Absolutely nothing. You don't even have a tourism sector to speak because nobody wants to go there. Yes, South Africa is the gateway to all of Africa, I know it's a bitter pill to swallow since 'y'all think you're the best thing since sliced bread.

The month alone Toni Braxton is in your country well probably have 50 more of this people visiting. We are the chosen country for these people it's a fact don't dispute. You are unlikely to see a Beyonce in this lifetime. That's why we are special

Okay.
Any celeb that comes to South Africa comes to see lions.
They are not interested in the people.
They also go to Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Botswana for wildlife.
So.what makes you special?

XhosaNostra:
In South Africa it's house music over everything else whether you like it or not. When Davido comes to SA, the lineup usually features South African artistes. I doubt many would pay just to go see Davido perform alone. Now I'm not saying his songs are not liked because they are, but people would choose Destruction Boyz over Davido given a choice. We LOVE house music. Period.

If top American celebs come to Nigeria to perform.
Of course, the lineup always include top Nigerian celeb.
But it doesn't change the fact that the American celeb is the draw of the show.

Anthony Joshua is in Nigeria currently.
But it doesn't count since he is a son of the soil.

IronGalaxy:
they forget that South Africa is the gateway to all of Africa. When these US celebs say they want to go to Africa where do they go? Lol

Gateway to which Africa?
You mean Nigeria as popular as it is needs south Africa to be its gateway?
lol. Is that what they tell you in south Africa.

American celeb come to Nigeria often for shows and stuff.
Toni braxton is currently in the country.

American celebs visit Ghana, Kenya Tanzania and as well as other countries especially for wildlife.
So what exactly is so special about it?

And you say Nigerians are pompous.

XhosaNostra:
The genesis of this exchange was about which music is popular in South Africa. You said the craze is "Afrobeat" & I told you that no, it's house music. Now don't shift the goal posts. South Africa didn't invent house music, but as it stands today, it is a force to be reckoned with as far as house music goes. We're up there with the best of them. It's about taking something, adding personal touches to it & making it your own. South Africa has a distinct sound that is easily told apart from other house genres. This is well-known by house enthusiasts.

Don't lie.
If davido comes to south Africa and has a Show on the same day with the house music concert.
Who will draw more fans?

IronGalaxy:
That's exactly why other Africans look at Nigerians like over-pompous freaks. You have no business calling other countries " ordinary" Nigeria is not all that

If Nigerians are pompous, have you met south Africans?

Killing Africans over a country built by White people.

IronGalaxy:
there is a huge Nigerian diaspora in the UK, they are basically performing for their own

As things stand both WizKid and Davdo are trash


South African house music is also bif in the UK so...

Of course they are thrash to you.
But they are more popular and more relevant than any South African musician.

IronGalaxy:
infrastructuraly and standard of life

Bullshitt.
They don't have better infrastructure than Nigeria, sorry.

Standard of living is relative. Things are cheaper in Nigeria than most parts of Africa.

Though of course life can be a bit more peaceful in Kenya.
But it is.not necessarily because Kenya is better.
It is just that there is some level of chaos when you have 200 million people.

Have you been to India? Is Kenya better than India even though it is more peaceful and calm?

IronGalaxy:
they throw shade at anything. Imagine dissing Kenya and saying " ordinary Kenya" and yet Kenya is miles ahead

Miles ahead in what way?
Is it infrastructure, economy, or what?
How can they be miles ahead of a country with 25% of Africa's productivity.?

Aside from Nairobi which is not better than Lagos, let alone Abuja, what else is in Kenya?

Ordinary Kenya.

Even flavour the Igbo high life musician went to France.
Come and see crowd.

Originality is everything.

When Nigerian musicians go on tour in Europe, america or Africa, there is no comparable.
They shut it down.


Nasty C and Casper can never shut down the 02 arena in London.
WizKids and davido did it with ease.

Yemi alade recently went on tour in France. You need to see the love.


Nigerian music is global, mehn.

UniportAgbero:
So it even originated from Chicago? You see there is nothing original about south Africa. Even their so called house music was imported.

They are always trying to beat foreigners at their own music.
And that is not what the world is looking for.

That is why an average artist in Nigeria singing local afro beat will win MAMA, Channel O and BET awards with over 60 million views on YouTube in 3 months, while his south African counterpart rapping like 50cent is busy wondering why.

IronGalaxy:
the last BeT before the current one, was won by a South African. A South African also won the best newcomer this year. Anyways the BeT are not worth it, even giving African artists the awards backstage

When has a Nigerian ever won a Grammy? ( The pinnacle of music achievement)

Fela kuti have been consistently nominates for Grammy.
Though he hasn't won, but he is always nominated.

South African music is a piss poor imitation of america.
You musicians don't have a unique style. That is why the rest of the world don't reckon with it.
The world wants originality, not more nasty C.

A few south African artists may be good, but the rest is just nonsense.

Afro beat from Nigerian is the most popular music export from Africa.

Yobeezy:
Just peruse through the previous pages of this thread, the reality will flow down through your spine.
Which part of Kenya did you visit if I may ask?

I have been to Nairobi and Mombasa. Nothing spectacular.

Go to YouTube. There are videos portraying the best of Nairobi.
There is nothing spectacular.

IronGalaxy:
lemme guess you gonna mention Seal as well. We are talking about South Africans from South Africa, from South African conditions, schooling, school of thought, quality of things etc which shows we have quality right here at home. Which Nigerian goes from a Nigerian sitcom to featuring on a US Movie? We aren't talking about people who call themselves British here. Your entertainment industry is still behind in truth.

Omotola has featured on a US movie.
Even Stephen Nora has featured in a US movie.

Who the fucckk is this guy?

IronGalaxy:
plenty. South Africa Has the best music is n Africa

lol
Go and check their YouTube videos and compare it to Nigerians.
When was the last times they won bet.?

Yobeezy:
So your fellow Nigerian is sick?
Simple assignment, peruse through this thread from page one, you'll be ashamed.

Mr man, Nigerians are highly political people.
They Don't mind exaggerating issues for politics.

If you create a "Somalia is better than Nigeria" thread, believe me, by the time Nigerians are through with it, you would think somalia is heaven and Nigeria is hell.
Nigerians are just like that.

I have been to Kenya. There is nothing there that is mind blowing.

Just a regular African country.

Abogwara:
South African artist Busiswa was also featured in the album.

Not in the class of Burma boy.

TheWrita:
She has a point.I expected artistes from east Africa and south Africa.They have the lions and the 'sound' of Africa.Beyonce filled the album with mediocre Nigerian artistes and what not.I don't expect that album to sell anyway.It wasn't well thought out.

Keep talking nonsense.
Is there any musician in East and southern Africa comparable to ordinary Burna boy.?

Lionessza6:
If only they knew how much most South Africans would rejoice if they burned down that embassy to ashes . We would even bribe them to do it .

MTN makes more money in Nigeria than in south Africa.
And I am sure DSTV is the same also.

Don't worry, when the economic realities start biting, you would realise the consequence of your actions.

Xenophobic savages.

I have been to Kenya.
Their best city nairobi is not in the class of Abuja.
Lagos alone is the 4th largest economy in Africa.
Who ever created this thread is sick.

AnanseK:
Of course separation means separate countries. But we have to start somewhere and this is your chance, grab it if indeed you’re serious.

I suspect as usual, you would prefer to be bluffing and making empty threats.

We are already grabbing it.
I don't know anybody in the SE/SS that is hoping for Fulani to stay.

GISpro:
Who's fault is it that you don't have historic buildings, family houses and compounds.

Those rust roofs are a sign of communal love. Every Tinubu or Obasanjo is from a rusted roof. When you offend anyone or seek help from anyone you can always go back to those rusted roofs to call for a family meeting.

You easterners can't understand, you never had a functioning community or political system. And it is affecting you all till today.

Onitsha is the oldest city in the south and it is not afflicted with Brown roof.
You are dirty people, that is all.

ELgordo:
Ovoko..,..him release inside

lol

stanliwise:
so everything na Bleep Bleep Bleep Bleep for your eye. The kongi in your system eehn... Everything man and woman na Bleep... #spit

You did not read where they said she is dating a Nigerian?
Or you get cataract for your eye?

AnanseK:
You guys make so much noise and gra gra, but when it comes to the crux you chicken out. These northern elders are givng you what you have claimed to love - separation. You should be celebrating and arrange a meeting to draw a timetable.

The separation we want is a final dissolution.
This one is very commendable but still Short of the mark.

Most would not miss the north.

E get who Nigerian men never fucvk?
If one of us can go all the way to the UK to kiss Adele in a concert.

I won't be surprised if Beyonce dated a Nigerian before.

iammo:



The ussual suspect.. the one that spread fake news.., the ones lamenting over afenifere's loss more than afenifere. The loudmouthed Buhari's number one enemy.... Its a surprise they haven't Photoshoped Isreali massod or Donald trump leading US seal to Ore in their drones and ari submaines to arrest fulani herdsmen terrorising the "African Jews"


Awon Emir of Fake News, chief wailers and lamentation expert



...

.
So Even with the pathetic state of things where travellers are attacked and kidnapped, you still have the enfontery to attack fellow Nigerians looking for a better security.

Even if you are an irredeemable sycophant, you don't know when to shut up?

If those Fulani herds men fall on you, do you think buhari will care?
What makes you different from the thousands that have died.?

If you don't have sense, borrow one.

blackpanda:
Exactly

To be honest obj's letter has nothing to do with rescuing Nigeria. Rather he's looking for cheap relevancy by being a thorn in buhari's ass. 99% of wailers dont care about buhari's achievements or shortfalls. Its just pure undiluted irrational hatred

Then tell your buhari to sit up so as not to make sycophancy harder for people like you.

One thing is certain,things cannot continue like this.
