Nigeria, despite being Africa’s largest economy has been unable to solve its energy problems. Like several other countries in sub-Saharan Africa, many Nigeria’s national electrification rate is poor at 45 percent, compared to South Africa’s 85 percent and Egypt’s 100 percent.
IEA however notes that fixing the energy sector in sub-Saharan Africa, a development Nigeria should be heralding, is key to the region’s socio-economic development.
“Economic and social development in sub-Saharan Africa hinges critically on fixing the energy sector,” said Fatih Birol, IEA Chief Economist. “The payoff can be huge; with each additional dollar invested in the power sector boosting the overall economy by.....Continue Reading

but if we can change this in to percentage south Africa could be number one........Nigeria 57.7million people on internet over 170million population and south Africa with 25million users on internet over 47million population..........if you know the percentage you could see the difference

Ikott:
Rwanda more prosperous than Nigeria? How? Abeg some1 explain that 1 for me

the list is not all about the rich of the country its about the progress that is happening in that country not mainly on infrastructures but on improvements of the life of the citizens.....I'm talking about social and basic things.......are there enough schools,hospitals, availability of water and electricity and any improvements of fighting poverty

South African post office

EVarn:
vandal,even your name suggests your personality.dont vandalize this thread with your stupidity please.every village in SA has a mall?,please....

google is your your friend

EVarn:
mumu,spouting what you dont even know anything about.we have top notch supermarkets that even beats the pathetic kiosks you call "malls" in your country.we have malls big enough that it takes hours to navigate them.clown.

looool let me tell you a secret all south African villages have shopping malls

EVarn:
hahahahahaha....love,have you ever visited nigeria?,have you ever gone to port harcourt,uyo,lagos,abuja,ibadan,anambra etc,these places are filled to the brim with big malls.dont embarass yourself.

are you talking about mini shops?........or show us pictures maybe they will tell us a better story

EVarn:
EPL is different from the entertainment industry.nigerian soccer players dominate many european football teams,or at least make up 70% of africans in european teams,this shows our vast talent and human resource,unlike a certain lazy african country.

I don't think south African players will be obsessed with going to Europe wen their salaries can buy Aston martins.......you should ask yourself my there Nigerian in south African PSL

EVarn:
all i know is that nollywood is the biggest film making industry in africa,and second in the world after the US's hollywood.

lolest by making 1million movies a year.........as south Africa we don't mind giving you that possession but on best movies that's our possession.

craziebone:
Nollywood stories are told in a quality way. That they are made cheaper doesn't in anyway mean reduce the work it does. Itis cheaper because there is almost no cinema culture in all of Africa. Apart from a few countries, you will not find cinema culture anywhere else. The only option left for film makers in Nollywood is to make these vidoes into home videos and take to people so they can watch it together with their families in the sitting room since they can't come out to watch in cinemas. They are onlyu being innovative.

Just for the record, this venda movie you mentioned, is not known anywhere and among anyone apart from a few people in few places. So tell me...what is the use of a movie winning an oscar when most people don't even know it?

The truth which i want you SAns to know is...when it comes to Entertainment, you just have to give up the arguement because you will never win it against the Nigerians. Your Multichoice don't even show your movies! DSTV has three Africa Magic channels and if you call all three of the Nigeria Magic, you will be forgiven. You can say that each of these channels stand for the three largest ethnic nationalities in Nigeria- Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo. This is because there is an Africa Magic Yoruba, Hausa and the other Africa Magic which shows movies in English is dominated more by Igbo.

I will never argue with you on entertainment, I will argue with you wen your country received a grammy or an Oscar since then nothing to talk about on music and movies

not anywhere only in Nigeria............in Oscars they only nominate movies that impress the whole world not a group off people

all4naija:
Don't brag too much or else we will boycott Shoprites. And, that means hunger for South Africans. Bwahaha... I love Nigeria. It is really the USA of Africa.

lolest.....!!! Nyaope at its highest level izokushaya ding dong!

Nobleval:
and SA is not "under poverty?"

poor south Africans receive grants from the government........that's what I call the benefits from GDP $350billion and annual budget of $120billion

craziebone:
to those who think they have any reason at all or that they are a moral authority to look down on Nollywood, i want you to listen to Zarch Orji speak to you when he spoke on the now defunct BBC Africa Have Your Say programme.

"we don't want to win an Oscar...we just want to make movies a people can relate to; we want to make movies people would watch and see themselves in it....we want to tell our stories ourselves..." until Nollywood came out, Africa's stories were told by other people. The reason no one sees you people as monkeys anymore is because of Nollywood.

A movie industry tells a story, exports a culture and benefits those in it. We can see all of these in Nollywood but can't say the same for your movies, if you actually have one at all.

Nollywood tells a story a people can watch and relate to. It exports a culture that has taken over the whole of the continent and even in the carribean. There is what i call cultural imperialism going on on the continent today. Nigerian accent is immitated by everyone around the continent. Our dress sense and traditional attire are admired and worn all across the continent. Our actors and actresses are known all over. They are a cultural icon! We cannot say the same for your oscar actors and actresses. Our actors and actresses are richer than your oscar comedians!

Nollywood inspires ans sets up other movie industries across the continent, most notably, the movie industry in Ghana as well as other countries like Kenya, Seria Leone etc. What have your's done?

its good to tell African stories, but tell them in a quality way........south Africa released a Venda which tells a story about venda people.........due to quality screening, sound and professionalism of the actors also with a big budget.........the movie its been nominated for the Oscar so what do you say about that?

Nobleval:
Lol! Go and hide yourself in shame! Do you guys even have studios in S.A.

talking of studio 90% of Nigerian hip hop and R&B music videos are shot in south Africa........you should notice that all the cars in the video are south African........how do I know that? The registrations of the number plates of the cars is written GP which stands for Gauteng Province!!!

Nobleval:
Okay...continue with the oscars while we take the world by storm.

Wake me up when S.A overtakes Nigerian movie industry,music and economy.

but sadly it will never happen! You can't start comparing my dear...

all those mentioned above how does they benefit a Nigerian that is under poverty?

wena wake me up wen Nigeria its in a same level of infrastructure, GDP per capital and annual budget with south Africa........ and. Wen your country men left south Africa to Nigeria

EVarn:

ActivateKruger:
Nigeria I'm still waiting for you to;

- Name me any Nigerian who won or was nominated for an Oscar

- Name any Nigerian movie that has been nominated or won an Oscar


The individual should be of any creed or color as long as he or she was born in Nigeria.

they didn't comment on all the facts of Oscars, grammies,and annual budgets........lolest I don't know why...

EVarn:
@DieeDiee,congratulations!,you succeded in writting three epistles,i'm sure apostle paul will be proud!....now let me dismantle you dêluxioñs` dù gràndûer.
(i)first of all,nigeria isnt 60 years old,it shows what you know.
(ii)i do not dispute that it is productive for the government to invest in the people{it raises HDI},but that brings us population size,example; a country earning a gross revenue of $120billion,has a population of 200million,once budget spending is removed,do you think what remains will be enough to share among citizens?,nigeria's idea of investing in citizens is to give out funds for MSMEs,funding businesses that'll provide jobs and investments,and latter increases government revenue.
(iii)did you say SA has a "stable economic and political environment"?,your economy is stagnant,and correct me if i'm wrong,but isnt it in SA;
*that the parliament is a wrestling ring?
*that police invades the parliament to drag out an opposition member?
*that MPs scream "pay back the money" at the president?.

looool wrestling in parliament it doesn't affect the people of south Africa.........unstable political environment is wen boko haram booming everyone in the streets of Nigeria

14:
JSE is worth $1 trillion and NSE is worth $80 Billion
SA budget $120Billion and Nigeria is $23Billion

SA has 85% africa's to 30 largest companies, nigeria zero

You see who runs Africa

this shows that Nigerian GDP means nothing to south Africa.......

mmmh...time to defend my school...
In d last 2 yrs, Futo has completed and started many gigantic projects all in a bid to place it as a foremost university of technology in line with the vice chancellors quest for excellence.
The recently completed school of engr complex can stand any in Nigeria with its ultramodern classes and staff offices. All other schools in Futo have complexes at various stages of completion. just recently, contract was awarded for the building of four students hostels and d site has already been cleared. the new 1000cap auditorium is....(check it out for yourself)
In terms of infrastructure, Asiabaka would leave Futo far better than he met it.
lest I forget, most of d buildings are currently undergoing renovations such as SOSC building, SMAT building, 500cap lecture hall, hostel A and many others.
In terms of academics, Futo is still d school to beat having having one of the best and updated syllables in Nigeria...U can ask NUC or COREN...

Nellyunique:
Pls pls someone should post new photos of FUTO.I am an aspirant

zugoboss:
My thoughts exactly. Also that road is not inside the school, its a road along the community,state or FG owned I think.

Cajetanspeaks:
Some of you students are just unreasonable.Futo has one of the best infrastructures in Nigeria and good road networks, in the last one year futo have built and commissioned over ten gigantic structures. That road in that pix is not inside Futo.

show us pictures and stop talking lies...

infoscope:
I posted these over six months ago, but a lot has changed since then, massive infrastructural reform is currently taking place. Professor C.C. Asiabaka is really living up to his mantra which is 'The quest for excellence'. i will soon put up pictures.

MUNDUS
GREAT FUTOITE

j2012:
I think the title should have been

Nigeria MAY replace South Africa in G20 as Economy grows.

Whether our economy continues to grow to not, we are not sure of replacing South Africa.

Also, what does replacing South Africa translate to the common man.
Does it guarantee food on the table?

nop....it guarantees nothing!

gothrones:
I thought Nigeria was the Giant of Africa?

in population yes!
