religion, more than 60% south african claim to believe in African religion, while here in Nigeria we are identifying ourselves with other people's religion. busy fighting about other people religions.

First thing that Nigerians must do is to love their country and held politicians accountable. Elect proper leaders who will create good environment for Investors. stop all street vendors because they are not paying tax, people must open shops hire more people and pay tax.

Don't forget,their have WHITE people with then, assuming is only black nation,their will be going backwards too.

======================================

Please stop about this comment, what is the different between you and them. One good things that South Africa have is Justice System and Media. this too things they put politicians in the good space, see what happened to the Guptas.

There was a time South Africa was worse than Nigeria. There was white minority rule. What changed? South Africa sat down and held a stake holders meeting or the equivalent of a sovereign national conference. Everybody was involved, the Zulus, the Afrkaans, the Xohas and all other ethnic nationalities.


A totally new constitution and system of government was drawn up to accommodate the yearnings and aspirations of everyone.
The result was that everyone got their own region and power was completely decentralised. The Zulu Region has its own primeminister. Even inside South Africa, you have two independent autonomous Regions of Swaziland and Lesotho with their own presidents. Everybody is controlling their resources and internal security and paying an agreed sum to the centre. The result of this is that there has been relative peace and stability in South Africa which has fostered growth. There is still violent crime in South Africa but international investors would rather go to South Africa than Nigeria

In the case of Nigeria, we don't have a people constitution, we don't have a system.of government that works. The federal government is take a everything and every state goes to beg for crumbs every month. This had made different sections of the country agitate and Nigeria is very unstable

=============

Well said, what made South Africa to be were it is today is because all stakeholders sat down together and draft the freedom charter and constitution.

South Africa is regressing not progressing do your research properly .....

==============================
No ways, South Africa archived a lot after 1994. Gautrain was build, Reavaya was implemented, Midrand town was build from Srcatch, more than 2000 malls were built, Sandton was converted from a surburb to the reachest squre mile in Africa, Rosebank was converted from a surburb to the super city, more than 10 super world cup stadium were built, hatfield town was build in Pretoria, Centurion was converted from a surburb to town, every house has electricity- in 1994 only less than 15% houses had electricity, every house has access to water- in 1994 only less than 15% houses had access to water.

South Africa is regressing not progressing do your research properly
Infact they are regressing at a speed of light since the end of apartheid
As for Nigeria hmmmmm don’t deceive yourself it will never be okay
Just get rich on your own and enjoy the basic things in life
For Nigeria to be okay we have to break it into pieces and allow each tribe to take care of its own people

I think what is helping South Africa to grow is the SADC countries because they are united. most of the work force in the mining and agriculture sectors are from SADC countries. South Africa is supplying SADC countries with almost everything.

I agree, Buhari he was giving investors tough time. e.g MTN

Maybe we should give Atiku a chance to rebuild this country.

we must just vote for the right candidate, all our problem could be solved.

As Nigerians we must stop going abroad and sit home and start our own companies

will Nigeria ever catch South Africa in terms of development?

Am happy with the progress that Nigerian businesses are making in South Africa because is a first step in the right direction. we hope that after some few years many Nigerian businesses will go and dominate in South African market because of the free trade deal African union is proposing. Lets hope Nigerian leaders will sign for the free trade deal. Nigerian govt must stop to think that free trade will make other African companies to dominate their market, they must just believe that Nigerians will start companies that will dominate African market.

Dangote cement is now dominating cement industry in South Africa, is trading as Sephuku cement. Most of the restaurant, Hair Salon, Barber shop Internet Cafe and clubs in Johannesburg and Pretoria are owned by Nigerians. This is a sign of good progress to Nigerian businesses .In the past only South African companies were coming to Nigeria to make Business and Nigerian business were not going to South Africa. some of the South African companies that operate at Nigeria are MTN, Multichoice, Shoprite, Woolworth, Sun International, Pep, Telkom, Absa, Standard Bank, Spar, Jet, FNB, old mutual, sanlam and many more companies.

tallest building in the world is not 1000 metres, but is 850 metres. Sometimes we must just celebrate achievements of our fellow African country. Nigeria as the giant of africa I wish that they can just build at least one tall building that will fall top 10 of the tallest buildings in Africa. on the top 10 of the tallest buildings in africa, 5 buildings are south Africans.

South Africa’s financial hub Sandton is set to become home to the tallest building in Africa with The Leonardo – a 55-storey mixed-used property development by the Legacy Group and Nedbank – scheduled to be complete by the second quarter of this year.

The R3 billion skyscraper towering over Sandton Central can be seen for miles and will be some 230 metres tall. This will see the Leonardo pipping the height of the 223-metre Carlton Centre in Johannesburg’s CBD as the tallest building on the continent.

It also makes the Leonardo the tallest building to be constructed in South Africa since the 1970s, with the Carlton Centre now more than 45 years old. Construction on the Leonardo began three years ago. Some 2,000 workers are currently on site.

Im an african who travelled to many countries in africa and the whole world. fact is we can not compare SA with Nigeria. SA is a developed country which is in G13, is number 9 in the whole world in terms of development. it has strong economy, high standard of living, good infrastructure. about war SA will not fight cz is not a war type country. Nigeria and SA must just team up to make africa the great continent. SA is a country purely ruled by black people, all the development u c are done by anc, before anc less than 20% of people where having electricity, clean water, good roads, houses, grant for the poor, etc.
