Well done South Africa, please lead Africa to greener pastures.

How was Nigeria going to chair free trade deal while they are unable to run economy in Nigeria

South Africa has won a ding-dong battle with its continental rival Nigeria at the African Union summit in Addis Ababa for the post of secretary-general of the African Continental Free Trade Area (ACFTA) which is due to start operating on July 1.

South Africa’s Wamkele Mene, a top trade negotiator finally prevailed over Nigeria’s Cecilia Akintomide, a former vice-president and general secretary of the African Development Bank, after seven rounds of voting by African heads of state and government on Monday evening.

South African officials were celebrating the victory over South Africa’s main African competitor, especially because they insisted that Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari had conducted a political battle over what should have been a purely technocratic decision.

Nigerians are the worst money launderers in the world. They throw out trillions and beg foreigners for millions to invest.

South Africans are not far behind.

South African are far behind. South Africans love their country and they will do anything to defend their country.

Check what happened last week in South Africa, court issued arrest warrant to former president Jacob Zuma. in South Africa the justice system is still working.

cronsberg:
I am a Nigerian, but I myself am highly disappointed in my country. Without even mincing words I will say I really regret being Nigerian. I don't even think people realize how extremely rotten this country has gotten. Tell me one thing that is functioning properly here. Recently Even the telecoms industry is dying down. Can you imagine experiencing cut calls, extremely disfunctional internet, calls that have just gotten more expensive with the VAT increase, a whole country where no single highway is safe anymore. Highway robbers in this 21st century? Common mehn. Only death can stop me from leaving this country. Mteeeeeew very disfunctional country

well said, nothing is functioning in Nigeria.

My friend contribute to the discussion

Thanks for responding to him.

Please you South Africans should take note of this:
Nigerians are law abiding people EXCEPT one particular tribe from the South East of the country, (search Google for the name of the tribe,I don't want to be banned by the Igbo mods) AKA IPOBS,nyanmiri,flàtheads,children of hate and perdition,exotic pharmacist,reverse engineers...the conceiges of crime.
By the shape of their head,you shall know them!
They are the ones giving Nigerians bad names everywhere...they are the ones trooping to South Africa to commit all manners of crime,iniquities and abomination.They Steal,Kill,and Destroy!
Beware of them!
Do no business with them!
Make no friends with them!
Have no relationship with them!
Flee from them!
Be Warned
Now go and spread this message.

Thanks for the good advise.

i like this statement - "By the shape of their head,you shall know them"

KLEINBASS:
I used to think south africa is failing us until I went to Nigeria. There is no order in that country.
The way we un south africa we think hillbrow is a slum city because of Nigerians in Nigeria hillbrow is a world class section. We complain of 4 hours without electricity once in many months in Nigeria they celebrate 4 hours of electricity every day.that County is a mess. The only thing I liked about nigeria was that things are cheap but you cnt invest. The economy is disfunctional in a way that if you not staying at the hotel you pay rent for the whole duration instead of monthly. And the respect they have for whites is disgusting, I was with a white dude who was my intern but to them that boy was God.their still in dark ages. Is south africa we see thembisa as an informal settlement but that side is a town suburb they even have gravel in Lagos. But they do have beautiful sites in between just the sound of generator is annoying. Lastly no comfortable public transportation at all south african rogue taxis comes top. But is getting better now wit ehailing taxis

Thanks for writing this good information.

MelloJelly:
The vast majority of nigerian refugees go to cameroon for safety

You don't know what you are talking about, be serious

Nigerian problems affect South Africa bcz Nigerians are running to South Africa for refugee.

MelloJelly:
why are south africans so obssesed with us ?!?! WTF? OP, I'm sure you south africans have yourproblems do deal with. face your front.

In South Africa everything is going well. we have problem with Nigeria because is dragging Africa backwards.

zhike:
and the problem of Nigerians, they keep voting for the same old people to be in power

Maybe South Africa must just adopt Nigeria to be one of her Province.

Kingrexyl:
It's simple, because Nigeria is a failed country.

and the problem of Nigerians, they keep voting for the same old people to be in power

zhike:
In Egypt there is still a big problem, because there is no intermarriages between Muslim and christian.

What is a real Nigerian religion?, because Muslim and christian religion came by boat.

Taba21:
My brother,that was in the past.
The only difference between Muslims and Christians in Egypt is that they don't get marry to one another even ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend is forbidden.

Even during former late president Morsi,the Christians were treating very well,though at times terrorists do attacked them but not common.

In Egypt there is still a big problem, because there is no intermarriages between Muslim and christian.

DMerciful:
Do you know that Egypt was once a Christian country? They were islamized! The Christians there are living in fear actually and they are not much

No, i am not aware that Egypt was was a christian. when was that.

This thing of labeling a country with religion is very wrong.

What is South African religion?

TheApologist:
what's the population of Christians in the listed countries, they are all hostile to the existence of any religion aside Islam; can a pastor dare go to Saudi Arabia to preach and leave there alive? A Muslim can easily go to a Christian dominated country and practice Islam without fear of any intimidation from any quarter. That's basically a huge difference between the two religions and you can easily relate with that

Thanks for the good response.

LordVoldermort:
Because most of them are xenophobic the energy they would use for religious conflict is used for ethnic ones

Not ethnic, South Africa has many ethnic groups and they are united.
Xenophobic is against foreigners, not their fellow south Africans.
Get your facts right.

orisa37:
The FULANI Arabs are coming to South Africa. NIGERIA is a Stepping Stone.

Not in South Africa. South Africa army and police are so powerful. They can root out all those muslims within seconds.

South Africans hate muslim, to them muslim is a foreign believe. Zulus unlike Nigerians, they believe in their African tradition.

mrvitalis:
Show me any country Muslims( Sunni) are between 30% to 85% that's at peace

Islam is a cancer especially sunni Muslims

You are right. everywhere where there is many Muslims, there is terrorism and hunger.

Taba21:
Are you referring to an occultist evil claimed pastors personified as Christian?

Go to Egypt and see how the Christians live.

Who is dangerous between Nigerian christian and Nigerian Muslim?

Dera1000:
The problem we have in Nigeria is disunity hatred and ethnicity....

The only solution is regional government or separation

Ethnicity - South Africa has many ethnicity, but there is no problems.

maybe Nigeria is too big to be one country.

Taba21:
Don't worry within a short period of time from now you will be surprise to know that the Nigeria Christians are few and that will be the end of the false killing of Christian.
The real Christian are the witnesses etc not devilish greed Pentecostals

What will cause Nigerian Christians to decrease?

sweetonugbu:
South Africa doesn't have large population of Muslims, just wait until they get UP to 40% of the population you will know how far

Most of South African still believe in African tradition and they think muslin is Asian believe, i doubt that Muslim will grow among African south African

Due to this fights Nigeria will not develop, Nigerians will always dream of going to other countries like USA, UK and South Africa.

Nigeria is a religious country than South Africa, it was supposed to have peace. Christians are almost 45% in Nigeria and Muslim are also almost 45%.
Nigerian are almost killing each other everyday in the name of religion like animals.
what should we do to be like South Africa where there is no religious fights.

Below development happened after 1994:

They are building Africa 's tallest building - leonardo tower.
They built Sandton from scratch after they won democracy.
They built world's larger coal fired power station last year (medupi and kusile)
They built africa's first bullet train - gautrain.
they built best freeway roads
They built world cup stadiums
they built largest telescope in the world - meerkat
South african govt official are not going outside the country for medical purposes

Nonymine:
What propelled you to open this thread on a Nigerian platform? Superior mindset? Tsek!

OK, Nigerians are starting Zenophobia on this forum....

johnpablo541:
Nigeria also had lots of white people living in Nigeria before independence and after independence.

What happened to the companies the white men founded after independence in Nigeria.

We have a very terrible attitude. We had a lot of white people living and working in warri back then when i was little. But our bad attitude chased those companies away.

good point.

soilsista:
Akere? Ba lapisha batho ba! The sooner they channel all this envy into something positive the better for them.

Like, they come here to spew their hate, jealousy, envy, whatever. After they logout, nothing has changed for them.

Is it worth it? I don't think so.
