west african countries are poor, fights, religion fights, tribal fight, not supporting anything of their own like soccer, movies, music.

Awolowo built television station in Ibadan before South Africa.

But South Africans remain great, just like Nigerians. Not many know many South Africans including Ama Zulu (Umu Zulu) have Igbo (Proto Bantu) blood in their veins.

Last word: Nigeria and South Africa should compete to promote the Black world.

he did not establish the first television in the world, but in africa.
Yes, Nigeria must just team up wish SA and learn, therefore africa could be great.

rummmy:

yes, the southern countries are more developed, stable, no wars like bokoharam. they maintain their buildings unlike Nigeria where buildings keeps collapsing.

How many people are there in Botswana. One of Nigerias biggest problem is its surging population and it appears the lesson has not yet been learnt

Botswana population is 2.92 million. but population is not an excuse because other countries they are doing well with large population, e.g USA, china, etc.

Man city or juve will win.

Barca isn't as strong as they used to be

Nigerian are not proud people. they cannot talk about their league, they are talking about other people's league.

baralatie:
if you are not a Nigerian you cannot understand a Nigerian.

also any other type of citizen not a Nigerian is a counterfeit.

meanwhile green and white is my colour not red,yellow,black or stripes

and whoever lives by over seriousness dies by over seriousness

as declared by master shifu in kungfu panda

if you are poor and you dont work towards been rich, you will remain power.

that's what is currently happening in Nigeria. People are not paying tax, they are selling goods on the street without paying rent, they are paying the employees by cash without paying pay as you earn tax. at the end they expect their government to have money. Nigeria is like a sick lion expecting to get well without taking medication. the worst part they run to other companies.

kindly help what is functioning well in Nigeria?

Because Nigerians claim to be intelligent, how does their intelligent help them?

Why Nigerians are running away from their country and crowding other countries?

JaceBlaze:
Rebuilding a rubble like Nigeria ain't easy-peasy.Where does one even begin in a country where nothing seem to be functioning? they always brag about superior intellect,surely they don't need South Africans to help them.

I 100% agree with you. where will you start if you want build Nigeria?, Nothing is working in Nigeria. no proper tar road, no clean water for many citizens, no electricity for many citizens, no good health care, no fair election, etc.

baralatie:
obviously you are not born a Nigerian

is not about where I was born, Is about taking things seriously. that is why things are falling apart in Nigeria. Building are collapsing in Nigeria "https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-47555373", Nigerians are still laughing or making jokes. you must start by been serious if you want to build your country. the problem is that Nigerian are destroying their own country and run to other countries.

baralatie:
voltron

This is the kind of mentality that takes Nigeria backwards.

None of those people you mentioned are Nigerians, that is why most of the people are saying Nigerians they don't have self love.

Nigerian government must put their egos down and ask South Africa to help them to build Nigeria. if you can't beat them, join them.

What do you mean, please elaborate your comment?

Nigerian government must put their egos down and ask South Africa to help them to build Nigeria. if you can't beat them, join them.

KingOfThisnDat:
Nigerians are short-sighted.

indeed

the reason Nigerians hate South African is because,

Long before SA opened up to the rest of Africa, Nigeria was known as the big dog. Behold post apartheid, SA is trying to assert itself as the dominate political and economic force on the continent

Nigeria will not go down easily. Therefore this creates tension between both countries.

If Nigeria government accepted South African assistance, there would have been free and fair election in Nigeria.

I just want to give a practical example, Nelson Mandela was always going in and out of hospitals but he never used hospitals outside South Africa. I think we must learn from them.

Printerscanner:
imPatience Jonathan died and resurrected in a Germany hospital, then came back to Nigeria to throw a 500 million naira thanks giving party.

hahaha, how can you say he died and resurrected in Germany. lol, maybe he was just too ill.

Sad. Buhari needs to be queried for lying and that's one of the reasons I lost confidence in his administration after voting him in 2015. He said during a town hall meeting in lagos that, he will stop political office holders from receiving medical treatment abroad but the same man happened to be a beneficiary of overseas treatment . A few years back, i was invited by USA to a world medical entrepreneurial gathering in Washington DC which took place the daughters of American revolution hall where the US president addressed us all. I was the only Nigerian invited that time in a gathering of over 800 entrepreneurs selected globally. This same question came up as why most African leaders prefer to see their people die over preventable and curable illnesses but would always run to USA for treatment. One man from Mayo clinic said, African leaders lack trust in their health sectors because they are not contributing anything to its development whereas, most of the medics from Africa rank among the best here in the states. Buhari isn't a leader we need to take us to our fair haven, not even Atiku. Its high time we started shopping for a virile youth, irrespective of religious ethnic or tribal affiliations ahead of 2023. Our health facilities nationwide are moribund. As i speak, I'm on my way to one of the teaching hospitals in the south south to solve a problem. I'm even getting worried as the government is doing nothing to rescue it. People die everyday needlessly . Human life means nothing to them. This is the only area a common man is supposed to be enjoying the so called dividends if democracy. It's only when they're in good health they can go to farm or their shops to work

Thanks very much for this information. indeed we need a young leader.

Will Nigeria health care system ever work well like Botswana, Namibia and South African health care systems?

https://punchng.com/inside-nigerian-public-hospitals-where-one-doctor-attends-to-100-patients-per-day/ - nigerian health development

Nigerians do not support their local soccer, local music, local movie, etc.

the big problem with Nigerians they don't believe in themselves. they always have dreams of attending schools outside nigeria, using health care outside nigeria, working outside nigeria, etc. Most of South African citizens they don't have plans of going outside South Africa, they believe that they can get everything in their country.

Sad

It is very sad. how can you have a hospital and want other people to use it, while yourself you can not use it.

for comparing sake, in the country that we think is below us in development "South Africa", a president or any any government official will never go out for medical reasons because they believe in their own health care system.
