slow down dude, why are you so defensive? Are you saying south Africa doesn't have villages, rather townships as you call them... Wow! 70%... South Africans need help... Chei!

LOL!! Try again. BIAFRA was never a legal state, much like what Boko Haram want to establish in Nigeria. BIAFRA was not even bigger than any province in South Africa in respect of land mass. Tell me if you fought against Britain, Germany, Israel, Italy, Russia, Angola and Cuba like what the Egyptians, South Africans and Ethiopians have done. EVEN AS AT TODAY BIAFRAN WAR IS KNOWN AS CIVIL WAR, so please don't try to give that war credentials it does not deserve. It is not even the biggest war fought in Africa. The Bush war has much credentials than your so called biafran war.

FACT!! Nigeria has never fought any country.


did south africa too fight war against israel, germany, russia, italy ? no. south africa fought war against tiny cuba nation as small as only 10% of south africa,
the size of one small state kwa zulu natal in south africa that is the tiny cuba that fought a whole south africa to standstill you could not defeat cuba for 8 years of war !

tiny cuba had zero war experience and its army was built of young conscripts drafted with very little military training

cuba was about to win, then south africa called for peace negotiations.

we have discussed this topic over and over again.

cuba had USSR support, south africa had AMERICA, CHINA, and also ISRAEL, FRANCE ,BRITAIN.

The reason why world bank reject the report is because Nigerian statistics are unreliable. The truth is statistics could even be higher since Nigeria has not yet industrialised and urbanised with majority still living in villages.

you dont know nigeria, poverty rates are even lower in villages where food, meat, fish, fruits are produced in large farms and in excess supply, even some waste and rot away. those village farmers eat food, meat and fruits worth over $5 a day per person based on city prices. that $5 a day is 5 times higher than $1 poverty level.

see reason why world bank says there is no accurate date ? who went to villages to value their food consumption ? nobody.

you just advertised your ignorance. y.our b.rain dull pass world bank wellu wellu grin grin

If u go to Umlazi or Phoenix you see people of MIXED ANCESTRY, actually DNA studies shopwn by UKZN and Stellenbosch University show that Indians have black African blood due to contacts with locals.

Phoenix is an Indian township, northwest of central Durban. It was established as a township in 1976, but it has a long history of Indian occupation. It is associated with the Phoenix Stettlement, built by Mahatma Gandhi.[2]

History

Initially a sugarcane estate and since the mid-1970s a municipal housing development for the Indian community beginning with unit 4-Stonebridge. Sections were initially labelled as precincts and later renamed with proper street addresses.
Places in Phoenix

Until the early 1990s Phoenix was divided into plain units. Now, Phoenix is made up from 23 areas, such as:

Southgate
Greenbury
Rainham
Stonebridge
Centenary Park
Centenary Heights
Rockford
Clayfield
Longcroft
Rydalvale
Sastripark
Palmview
Foresthaven
Woodview
Sunford
Redfern (unit 10)
Whetstone (unit 11)

However, many local people still refer to areas by their unit names.[/b]

WHO/UNICEF joint monitoring report 2010: Progress on Sanitation and Drinking Water
Fast facts
An improved sanitation facility is one that hygienically separates human excreta from human contact.
An improved drinking-water source is one that by the nature of its construction adequately protects the source from outside contamination, in particular from faecal matter.
All the information in this report is based on data available up to and including 2008
Sanitation

2.6 billion people or 39 per cent of the world’s population live without access to improved sanitation. The vast majority live in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
In the developed regions almost the entire population (99 per cent) used improved facilities as compared to 52 per cent in developing regions.
At current rates of progress the world will miss the MDG sanitation target by almost 1 billion people, which claims to: “halve, by 2015 the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation,” by 13 per cent. And the MDGs are not the end of the sanitation challenge. Even if the target is met some 1.7 billion people will still not have access to improved sanitation facilities.
Rural/urban disparities are particularly apparent in sub-Saharan Africa, and the Caribbean, Southern Asia and Oceania where improved sanitation coverage is highest among the urban population despite the vast majority living in rural areas.
751 million people share their sanitation facilities with other households or only use public facilities.

Open defecation

A global decline in open defecation has been recorded. The proportion of the world’s population that practices open defecation has declined by more than one third from 25 per cent in 1990 to 17 per cent in 2008.
However some 1.1 billion people still defecate in the open. Eleven countries, (India, Indonesia, China, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Sudan, Nepal, Brazil, Niger and Bangladesh) are home to 81 per cent of them.
Open defecation is largely a rural phenomenon, most widely practiced in Southern Asian and Sub-Saharan Africa. Even in these two regions, declines in open defecation have been recorded, with a fall from 66 per cent of the population in 1990 to 44 per cent in 2008 in Southern Asia, and a corresponding decline in Sub-Saharan Africa from 36 per cent to27 per cent.

Water

5.9 billion people, or 87 per cent of the world’s population, and 84 per cent of the population living in the developing world now use drinking water from safer, improved sources. At current trends the world will meet or even exceed the water MDG target.
3.8 billion people, or 57 per cent of the world’s population, get their drinking water from a piped connection that provides running water in their homes or compound.
Sub-Saharan Africa and the Oceania are the areas that are lagging behind. Just 60 per cent of the population in Sub-Saharan African and 50 per cent of the population in Oceania use improved sources of drinking-water.
In China, 89 per cent of the population of 1.3 billion has access to drinking-water from improved sources, up from 67 per cent in 1990. In India, 88 per cent of the population of 1.2 billion has access, as compared to 72 per cent in 1990.

andrewza: They where flying WW2 and ww2 style aircraft. The 1960 air force would have torn BAF to shreds

B.iafran world war II combat aircraft were from a world war that ended just 22 years back, say 22 year old aircraft. good enough to be a force. even today many air forces of NATO powers of europe are flying F-16 jets 35 years old. so b.iafra was good with 25 year old air craft, only few countries in africa like egypt and so on had better air force at that time.

try think and do some maths before you post.
andrewza: The fact that BAF gave you such a hard time showed that NAF was poorly aremed and trained and that air defense was unalbe to cope.

that proves to you b.iafra was not a push over, not an easy war, nigeria had no air force combat aircraft at the beginning, but our army survived about 1 year of random air attacks monopoly from b.iafran air force

andrewza:
In the 1950s SAAF took on the north korean air force and in angola russia devloped air craft and tested them in angola. We where the first western country to get hold of a SA2 sam sytem. Your civil war was just that. A bump not a true war. I mean the tamil tigers had a air force and navy. Did not change the fact they where rebels.

you annoy people when you post comments with no sources, and you always ask nigerians to quote sources for you, i see you as one big F00L from south africa.

south african air force was a failure in korean war as about 80% of your combat aircraft were shot down by china ! south african air force was also crashing down by itself and wasted the american combat aircraft. no wonder you did not post a source you fraudster.


"of a total 95 Mustangs combat aircraft south africa acquired for korea, no fewer than 74 were lost due to enemy action and accidents. Twelve pilots were killed in action, 30 missing and four wounded"

go tell propaganda lies to your grandson ! mr. dstv satellite !

THE REASON WHY SOUTH AFRICANS,BRAZILIANS,TURKS ETC.. PROTEST FOR SERVICE DELIVERY AND GOOD GOVERNANCE IS BECAUSE THEY ARE USED TO HIGH STANDARDS. One of you foools bragged about Nigerians being ranked among the happiest in the world. WHAT ARE THEY HAPPY WITH?Even a Nigerian academic living in SA said South Africans should be thankful of the type of society we have. He said NIGERIANS DON'T PROBE THEIR NKANDLAS(corrupt leaders, some gave up on them). In SA we take your wealth back if u got it in a dodgy way. wink wink wink wink wink wink wink wink

UNICEF: 26% of Pinoys still have no access to improved sanitation
March 22, 2013 7:21pm
1 6 1 16

An estimated 26 percent, or over 24 million Filipinos, still do not have improved sanitation facilities, or those that separate human excrement from human contact, according to data from UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Of the number, 8 million practice open defecation, which according to WHO, is "the riskiest sanitation practice of all." The number accounts for the third highest total in the Asia Pacific Region.

According to UNICEF, open defecation increased among the poorest 20 percent of the rural population, going from 36 percent to 48 percent.

WHO said that open defecation increases the risk for diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, typhoid, and hepatitis A.

In their fact sheet on environmental sanitation, WHO explained: "When people defecate in the open, flies will feed on the excreta and can carry small amounts of the excreta away on their bodies and feet. When they touch food, the excreta and the germs in the excreta are passed onto the food, which may later be eaten by another person."

WHO also said that excreta washed away by rains can run into wells and streams, and may contaminate water used for drinking. The health organization also said improved sanitation reduces diarrhea deaths by a third.

“Under the leadership of the Department of Health, the Philippines has made significant advances in sanitation over the last 20 years," said Tim Grieve, head of Water, Sanitation, and Hygeine of UNICEF Philippines.

"However we are in jeopardy of not reaching the 2015 Millennium Development Goal on Sanitation because the poorest 20 percent of the population is sliding,” he added.

Globally, almost 90 percent of child deaths from diarrheal diseases are directly linked to contaminated water, lack of sanitation, or poor hygiene.

For world water day, UNICEF reminded governments and ordinary citizens that around the world, an estimated 2,000 children under age five die daily from diarrheal diseases, with 1,800 of the deaths linked to poor water, sanitation, and hygeine facilities.

Based on UNICEF child mortality data, half of the deaths of children under age five occur in five countries: India, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Pakistan, and China—the same countries that display a significant lack of improved water and sanitation.

According to UNICEF, of the 783 million people worldwide without improved drinking water, 119 million come from China, 97 million from India, 66 million from Nigeria, 36 million from DRC, and 15 million from Pakistan.

Those without improved sanitation in these countries are: India, 814 million; China, 477 million; Nigeria, 109 million; Pakistan, 91 million; and Congo, 50 million.

In terms of sanitation, 814 million people without improved sanitation come from India, 477 million from China, 109 million from Nigeria, 91 million from Pakistan, and 50 million from Congo. — Amanda Lago/KBK, GMA News[/b]

Lies!!! I have shown you with proof from your most favourite wikipedia that South Africa won against Britain in their first war ( first South African war) during the first attempt of the British to colonise South Africa. The British lost bitterly in that battle and even lost to the Zulus. It was only century later when the British reinforced with the Aussies and New Zealand that they managed to defeat SA and colonise it.

SA defeated Germany and take over Namibia as a trophy.

SA fought for over 23 years with the communist forces (RUSSIA, CUBA, ANGOLA and guerrillas ANC(MK), MPLA) without being defeated. Defeat in war means that the whole country has to be invaded and surrender as a result.


South Africa has a good war record.
