BusinessRe: South Africa: The Real Giant Of Africa? by thabo(op): 12:20pm On Jul 23, 2007
Denex I'm black man I'm just stating the facts man. Now you are right Nigeria is the heartbeat of Africa. South Africa is the giant. If Nigeria can learn to respect South Africa and SA also South Africa do the same Africa will be the best place to be. Right now things are batter between the two countries. Do you kno of agreement that was reached between these two great countries. Nigeria pulled out of 2010 world cup bid supported the SA bid, South Africa is also going to do the same by supporting the 2014 Nigerian bid to host the commonwealth games.

Sir go to Wikipedia, they'll tell you that South Africa is the largest economy by far in Africa, bigger than most of the African countries combined. I'm not being arrogant. Refusing to believe this is like denying that the German economy is bigger that the of England.

I can't debate about Mandela. Something are unquationable. You cannot dipute the fact that KAKA is the best player in the world at the moment. So in a case of Mandela it is pointless to discuss this. The man is a living saint, in a league of his own. It is also an insult to compare this statesman to a left wing terrorist like (Haille Sellsomething). There is only one man that you can compare to this, that's Jesus.

I don't mean to be rude but being big does not mean that you are powerful. Let us state the facts. Nigeria is the biggest country in Africa in terms of population. South Africa is different case. Our economy is bigger than the economy of West,North,East and Central Africa combined. If you can go to the Wall Street journal you'll see what I'm talking about. At least Egypt comes a little bit closer but they still have a long way to go. If Nigeria want to be an African giant, they must recruit their neighbours and form one country. This does not mean that we don't like our good old friends (Nigerians). In fact South Africa and Nigeria are the only African countries that the West are afraid of.

This is what I'm talking about. You guys tend to be rude sometimes. You always go on about whites being our masters. That's not the case dudes. We are our own people. Is just that Africans misunderstand us. We don't know much about Africa as continent. What we are doing now is come into contact with other Africans but you guys you not meeting us halfway. I know that South Africans tend to be arrogant but not all of them are like that.
