^^^1,2 I won't go to the extent of saying I don't know what Nigerians do in South Africa although the is a quite significant numbers of Nigerians and some West Africans in South Africa who just sit in the street corners in Hillbrow and Sunnyside and one wonders how they earn their living.But I also know a lot of Nigerians who are owning small busineses like Internet Cafe's,Clothing Stores and Hair Salon also there are lot of Professors,Doctors,teachers and other professionals in South Africa not forgeting that there is a big percentage of Nigerians who runs churches,big and small.

My point is we don't have to generalise,lately I have seen changed of attitude among most Nigerians in South Africa,there is less arrogance and there for make it easy to befriend locals or develop relationship.

1,2:

Yes RSA, you are wright, I was a bit generalizing, but majority of them do that. With regard to Arrogance, i aggree with you. They have realise that you dont go to a foreign country and pretend you own it after you have taken the streets. I think the arrogance was because of money, 5 years ago this guys were making money on the street. They drove latest model cars. I think they thought they were better than the locals and they came here within short space of time, they were rich. The arrogance was to show us we are here for 2 to 3 years and have made and you(South Africans) have been here for years but still struggling.

Now the police are catching up with their pace. I think what the police managed to detroy the network by focusing their attention to the King Pin. Look at the guy who was dealing with wife of a minister in KZN, what an embarrasment to that poor guy that his wife could be used by this Nigerian Drug Dealer. Its greed, it goes to show that she could even cheat him to get cash, maybe she has been sleeping with this thug. Thank god he is behind bars. There are some two women who were arrested in Brazil because they were snaggling this guy's drugs to Brazil. Now they gonna rot in jail. The guy seems so relax, he was thinking he could bribe himself out of this situation, maybe he has done it some times, but this time around he won't get a chance. He is in for good.

That swagger you call 'arrogance" is not going anywhere anytime soon, its ingrained in us, whcih is why we prosper. Take that away from Nigerians and[b] we are just like the rest of other Africans answering 'yes sir" 'no sir", [/b]

Hey guys i think the reason Nigeria is always on the spotlight is because of its economic importance to the world. Not even china can close its eyes to such a mouth watering market. South Africa is a great place with a lot of great people too. I strongly believe Nigeria and South Africa can steer Africa out of the murky waters of poverty if both comes together and make a concerted effort.

This same level of beef u guys are exhibiting here here is the reason the South Atlantic Patrol Team could not materialize. We both have our highs and lows.

South Africa has a fairly good manufacturing sector and a good foreign investment in the automobile industry. You cannot hide your face from South Africa's superb Air-force and superior Rand.
Nigeria in turn has a stable Information Technology sector evident in its indigenous computer manufacturing and optical fiber backbone design and manufacturing company. It also has an amazingly reliable ground force, the best in the continent.

South Africa has an alarming crime rate, second to none on the planet
Nigeria has an unprecedented level of corruption

If we can get over our own problems as a nation, then the sky is a starting point.

gallivant:

Please elaborate further!

morpheus24:

Are you Nigerian?

RSA:

Yes I will also like you to elaborate?

@Benom I like how you think,and so far I agree with you on everything you said.Like 1,2 have said where have you been?

morpheus24:

Are you Nigerian?

benom:

@morpheus24
You kind of sound frustrated. I doubt if u are a nigerian cause we never get frustrated.

Just for the records, i am a graduate and an IT specialist. I work for Nigeria's biggest bank and I come from a very humble background.

You cannot excel when you carry the problems of 150 million people on your head. All i advice u to do is to stop whining like you a currently doing, believe in your capabilities as a true Nigerian (if u are one) and exhibit the rugged Naija sp4

4 ma guys in South Africa, Naija rocks and if u doubt it, then pay me a visit.

gallivant:

No.I am Kenyan and your earlier statement was uncalled-for.

morpheus24:

Precisely my point. ,

gallivant:

and so much when it comes to African solidarity, "my brother"!

benom:

We do have a real problem.

Electricity, water, good roads and other basic amenities. Currently i work in the heart of the Niger Delta and i can tell u first hand how bad it is.
In the face of all these adversities we are still moving on as a nation, still maintaining who we are as a people.
This is a really big lesson i think other Africans need to learn from us.

Do u guys ever take into consideration the number of west africans that claim to be Nigerians immediately they leave the shores of their country?

Great countries are largely known for what they contribute to the lives of people, especially those around their geographical location.

NAIJA Great Nation, Good People

morpheus24:

i am all for solidarity bro. just educating you on understanding how Nigerians thick,

morpheus24:

(@ RSA this analysis for you is for free)

1,2:

Then educate us, stop telling us that Nigeria is the best country in Africa.

1,2:

We want to learn more about this nation, thats what you should do. If i am educating you about South Africa, dont dissagree with me because i know South Africa better than you do. The problem with you morpheus24, you don't listen. You think you know every thing. Its like you've been to every country in Africa.

RSA:

Now this is what I call a Nigerian swagger,in South Africa we will say this is AYOBA!

Jokes aside,Mr Mo. One question for you.

Do you think this mentality wich you clasify as
'The fight mechanism creates a resilient character who uses domineering aggression and arrogance to survive the flight mechanism makes an individual leave his/her environment in search of enviroments in which he has or can manipulate to create an advantage'
Is still relevent for Nigerians when they go to countries where law and order is upholded,or where the goverment is playing active role in developing its people?

Are you lost Davidmon?

For your interest, these are the people who run MTN

morpheus24:


You need to post all the directors including the white ones to get a fair view please

And by the way Nkelo doesn't really count as a South African, I think Dabengwo is Zimbabwean,You sure these execs apart from Ramphosa are local South African citizens.

I am reading some issues concerning locals vs "foreigners" issues with MTN too I see the discrimination is
