as I said we don't know you people and we don't give a fck about South Africa

Please be kind when you communicate, it was no necessary to include swearing words.

Ramaphosa used to own 70% percent of MTN group, he used to own 40% of McDonald Africa.
He is now the President of South Africa.

We will see the real giant of Africa tomorrow.

eugenenwajei:
impossible

Thanks Sir, you are right is impossible for Nigeria to win tomorrow.

Chrisbeks:
They won't beat the super eagles tho

You are joking, there is no way super eagels will win tomorrow. check the last 2 encounters, Bafana won 2 -0 in Nigeria, and they draw at fnb stadium.

SportsBaba:
I rep Naija..what do you think?

Am staying in Nigeria, but tomorrow super eagles will loose 2 - 0.

Retired Nigeria ace Jay-Jay Okocha has disclosed his admiration for trending Bafana Bafana attacker Thembinkosi Lorch.

However, Okocha will be praying that Lorch isn't in his element when Nigeria and SA rekindle their long-standing rivalry in the Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinal tie at Egypt's Cairo International Stadium tomorrow (9pm)

"We are aware of his threat, he's a player that I like. I like exciting players," Okocha, who boasts over 70 caps for the Super Eagles, said of Lorch.

Lorch is the talk of the town after netting a solitary strike that sent the hosts, Egypt, packing, inspiring Bafana to the last-eight at the weekend.

Tchinaidi:
This are all local players with little or no exposure to continental football.We talking Nation's cup and you talking domestic league bruv

Rememeber PSL is rated among top 10 leagues in the world, is not some small league like Nigerian league. is difficult for PSL players to go to overseas because they are already getting enough salaries.

PSL players are not not like west African players where everyone wishes to go and play in Europe.

Bafana Bafana's SAFA AFCON player bonuses:

R320 000 - Last 16

R520 000 - Quarter-finals

R670 000 - Semi-finals

R920 000 - AFCON winners

who is this Cereal Ramaphosa cause we don't know him here in Nigeria. And as long as his a south African we don't give a fck

If you are ignorant don't assume that everybody is like you.

aremuforlife:
That is not forced but a convincing agreements

I agree with you, the fact is that SA played role to ensure that Nigeria signs.

lilfreezy:
Xenophobia vs Tribalism in quarter finals. Battle of bastards.

Lol, Zenophobia is better. because you are not fighting with your Neighbour, you are fighting with someone from faraway.

eni4real:
Cool

I don't see super eagles winning against Bafana Bafana. Bafana squad is full of SA PSL players unlike Nigeria where most players are playing overseas. most Bafana players know each other's play very well.

Please beware of this players:
Thembinkosi Lorch - PSL player of the season, orlando Pirates.
Themba Zwane - Mamelodi Sundowns, PSL player of the season 1st runner up.

Excaperx:
mtchew.

why are you saying "mtchew". Cyril Ramaphosa had a meeting with Buhari convincing him to join free trade deal. pls see the below link for more info: https://www.moneyweb.co.za/news-fast-news/ramaphosa-urges-nigeria-to-sign-africa-trade-pact/

thesicilian:
They should provide alternative housing options for them.

Yes they are providing accommodation for them. I wish our Nigeria could do the same.

The SA Human Rights Commission wants to urgently meet City of Cape Town officials over street by-laws being enforced that have resulted in a number of homeless people being fined, the rights body said on Wednesday.

"We have received more than a hundred complaints, and I mean, literally, hundreds," said SAHRC commissioner, the Reverend Chris Nissen after reports emerged this week that some homeless people have been fined based on a 2007 bylaw.

"Where is a proper policy on homeless people that does not violate the dignity of homeless people?" asked Nissen at a media briefing after visits to some of the sites around the city that the homeless set up as shelter.

Excaperx:
How did south Africa forced Nigeria to join?

Cyril Ramaphosa had a meeting with Buhari about this issue. Ramaphosa believes South Africa if it can get Nigeria support it will drive this continent to greener pastures.

INTERNATIONAL – Nigeria will sign an Africa free trade agreement at the coming African union summit, according to a statement posted on the Nigeria presidency’s Twitter feed on Tuesday.

Nigeria, the largest economy on the continent, was one of the last countries that had not committed to signing the deal and its decision to join the bloc will significantly bolster its clout.

Tianamen1:
Since this topic has been bumped forward, my solution to Nigeria's systemic problem starts with taxation. Currently we have one of the lowest tax to GDP ratios in the world.

We earn foreign exchange mainly through the sales of crude oil, so if a rich person wants to drive multiple imported cars thus spending the little foreign exchange we earn, he/she should pay much higher taxes.
Effectively, that person's passion for cars is impoverishing all of us. If that person had fewer naira to use to purchase cars, we would have more dollars in our reserves hence the naira will be stronger. Same applies to other status symbols such as houses, etc.

Income from taxation can be used to fund our basic education system and our universal health care system. My belief is that until the child of a banker and the child of carpenter attend the same schools, the private sector and entrepreneurship will not develop as most entrepreneurs are children of artisans who through better education, improve on their parents businesses.

PS
To omohayek, I never implied that Nigerians are not intelligent people. My view is that our underdevelopment is tied to our culture of not valuing merit. Nigerians in other climes excel because they have to adopt the cultures of their host countries. If you bring the most achieved people from across the world, people such as Bill Gates, Carlos Slim, Jack Ma, to Nigeria as children, none of these people may have achieved anything of substance in life because the rules for achievements here are totally different from the developed world.

Thanks for this good info.

Finally Nigeria to sign Africa free trade deal

Trike:
It is indeed sad when freedom fighters become the new oppressors of their own people. The ANC is robbing the country blind. They are making their people suffer. No electricity, blackouts, power outages and no water , dams are dry.
20yrs ago It was said that South Africa will end up like Zimbabwe.
Junk Status has been officially declared three times in south Africa under ANC rule.

Electricity issue was caused by ANC, because ANC distributed electricity to all citizen without building power stations. 2 world largest coal power stations were built medupi and kusile, and now electricity issue is sorted.Dams levels is not ANC, it was just drought, but note no community has ever had water access problems. moddy never downgraded South Africa. South Africa is going up with fast pace.

Trike:
Jacob Zuma is a psychotic liar. South Africans will be wise to punish the ANC because the ANC protected Zuma while he and hundreds of ANC partners in crime stole Billions and aided the highly destructive STATE CAPTURE that officially downgraded South Africa to JUNK Status.

You must make time to read the shocking book, "The Presidents Keepers By Jacques Pauw" that reveal hundreds of state secrets about President Jacob Zumas plan to destroy South Africa.

Download the free PDF ; The President's Keepers_ Those keeping Zuma - Jacques Pauw

I agree with you, Zuma is a liar. but they punished him. they removed him from office before time. they made him pay the money he used to renovate his house.

I agree with you ANC almost destroyed South Africa. But Ramaphosa is busy fixing now. All contracts with Gupta companies are terminated, all contracts with Bosasa are terminated. most politicians are removed from office. and the new political party will win election next week.

What Nigerians must learn is that South Africa youth were in the front against all this corruption.

Nigeria must learn to have strong institution like South Africa, check how Powerful is Justice system in South Africa. they managed to charge Zuma while he was president.

forgiveness:
Na still greener pastures dem find come NIGERIAN.

Kindly I do not understand what you are saying, kindly may you reconstruct your sentence.

forgiveness:
The same way many South Africans are running to Nigeria for greener pastures. Na give and take, God no go vex.

South Africa are coming to Nigeria to expand their Business, while Nigerians are going to South Africa to look for work.

Cape Town - Mamelodi Sundowns massacred Egyptian giants Al Ahly 5-0 in Saturday's CAF Champions League quarter-final at the Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium in Pretoria.

'Downs took control from the start and were 1-0 ahead in the 13th minute.

Tebogo Langerman raced clear down the left-hand side and his cross found Themba Zwane who tapped home.

It was one-way traffic and the Club of the Century were at sixes and sevens all over the park.

It became 2-0 in the 23rd minute as Gaston Sirino's superb free kick was knocked home from close range by Wayne Arendse

onatisi:
The truth is despite naija problems , NIGERIA IS JUST TOO BIG TO IGNORE , THIS IS TGE BIGGEST MARKET IN AFRICA WITH OVER 180 MILLION PEOPLE LIVING AND DOING BUSINESS , no sensible country or big multinational will not at least try to have a piece of the action or cake. MTN NIGERIA is always then biggest c, contributor to MTN global profits, one third of mtn global profit comes from Nigeria. So the naija market is just too big but our leaders are not making the best use of this advantages and others that Nigeria poesses

good info

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
One of the most sensible decision that PMB took. How do you expect Nigerian local industries to compete with a highly efficient and industrialized SA without any form of protection? We're Africa largest market!

There's a big difference in the cost of production in Nigeria and that of SA! Those guys have cheap labour,, working infrastructure,,electricity,, transportation,, !

Let's internally grow our production capacity in all sectors of the economy first ...then we think of going international or else our infant industry will die a natural death due to an unfair competition!

Las Las our African brothers will definitely miss us... Just imagine? The LARGEST market in Africa is not a signatory to the treaty!

Good Points. indeed South Africa has cheap labour, those cheap labours are from fellow african countries such as DRC, Nigeria and Ghana.

forgiveness:
Which assistant?

Food security.

Are you not aware that currently many Nigerians are running to South Africa for greener pastures?

Adeniyii2017:
LMAO... Abeg help me tell them Southy people... Nigeria is not interested!!

South Africa is worried because the bad decision that Nigeria made, they affects south africa directly.

Nigerians will be running to South Africa for opportunities.
Nigerians will be running to South Africa, because of hunger in Nigeria
Nigerians will be running to South Africa, because of war/insecurity in Nigeria
Nigeria will be running to South Africa asking for assistance.

babyfaceafrica:
is it by force?...Nigeria is not interested

Yes, we expect african countries to go in the same direction.

forgiveness:
I will ask you again. In which sector is South Africa dominating Nigeria's market?

You claimed Nigeria don't have multinational companies. Can you please define multinational company?

You claimed South Africa is dominating West Africa? Can you please explain further?

I listed you companies, I thought by giving you company names you will be able to determines the sectors.
let me list the sectors for you, banking, media, tourism, retail, entertainment,communication.

South Africa is also dominating in west africa in the sectors I provided you above.

Multinational Company is a company that operates in more than one countries.

Ask more questions, am ready to respond you.

forgiveness:
In which sector is South Africa dominating Nigeria's market? Bhuhahahaha!

MTN is not even dominating in the telecommunications sector.

What is your definition of multinational company? Clown.

We don't just control West Africa, we defend it. I hope you understand what that means.

Accra is better than Lagos according to you but reverse is the case.

South Africa is not dominating anything in West Africa.

Or can you explain how South Africa is dominating West Africa?

Most of you South Africans are ignorant hence the jaggons.

Dear, am Nigerian who stayed in South Africa for years. and am back in Nigeria.
Firstly Nigeria has no proper electricity.
No clean drinking water for all the citizens,
No proper infrastructure like tar road.
Health sector in Nigeria is bad
No proper school infrastructure.
no proper sanitation in the cities and villages.
Buildings are decaying.
Poverty is high in Nigeria.
insecurity issues in Nigerila like bokoharam
Nigeria sometimes depends on international aids,

In South Africa there is govt grants for pensioners, disabled and child btw 0 and 18 yrs.

south african companies such as this are dominating Nigerian market: naspers, pep, shoprite, fnb , std bank, jet, wool worth, murray robert, mtn, baclays, absa, sun international, sanlam, allan gray, dstv, game,edgars,capitec, sasol many more

ThePreachersSon:
Nigeria get border? Sit down there and be thinking we have birder

lol, I thought Nigeria has proper borders that are secured.
But am not surprised to learn that Nigeria has unsecured borders, in reality nothing works in Nigeria.
