In 2014, the Nigeria government made a dubious claim that Nigeria economy has overtaken that of South Africa.

Like I said then, I am of the opinion that the reason Nigeria government keep getting away with obvious lies is because most Nigerians are not well travelled.

For clerity I have been to major cities in EUROPE but it never bothered me this much that Nigeria is so backward because I believe they have a head start.

Well, I am currently in south Africa and in Johannesburg. This country is 100times ahead of Nigeria in all indices of development.

A comparism of where normal citizens live with the best places the richest Nigerians live in Lagos for instance shows a South African earning a stipend living in Joburg has a better life quality than his Nigerian counterpart with millions.

Notice the yellow lanes for BRT buses only. Also take note of the wideness and cleanness of the roads

I have been to 4 provinces in Joburg and the quality of roads is the same.

Now, I am yet to see a pothole on any road in the city and this is not an exaggeration but a fact

Largest economy my butt.
Nothing but Iweala statistical 419 for Jonathan's reelection.
Even after massaging and inflating the figures from agriculture, it is easy for the discerning to figure out that the South African economy is not only larger, but deeper.
It shows not only from the size of their budget but even from their agricultural output. Products which are exported all over the world.
What about banking, telecommunications, IT,statistics, tourism, mining, show business, construction etc. South Africa totally owns Nigeria.
Lastly, when I say that Abuja is rubbish for the money spent and wasted on it, your picture proves it all over again.
South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia etc were building power plants, steel plant,aqueduct,pharmaceutical, IT,industrial and technology Hubs while our useless leaders were wasting money on building a chappy and soulless capital.
Guess what? they are still wasting money on that rubbish.
The worst thing is that Nigerians cannot even build their own damn roads. They give the contracts to foreigners to build them substandard infrastructure.

yupe Nigeris is nothing more than a glorified village. quality of life is important. you may be rich but you cant enjoy your money in Nigeria because the living condions are terrible. I keep on wondering how leaders can go outside Nigeria, see how good things are then come back to Nigeria and be comfortable with the mess. wonder if we have the same brian as other developed counties.

Its a no brainer

The black man is cursed....when God said He created man in His image...He was referring to the white man......before some mis-informed dolts come and remind their father that SA is an African country....yeah but all the good things were done by the whites...

Its only someone that has not travelled out if this hellhole Nigeria nay Africa that will counter me......black people all over the world are unruly..corrupt...lazy and bereft of any good developmental strides......check out blacks in Cuba...brazil...america...Africa...mexico...the black man is the same....lazy dolts that abandoned their religion..culture...sold their children into slavery...

While you blame Gej...also blame tinubu..fashola and the big head ambode for allowing Lagos to rot considering the IGR and all the monies that come to Lagos on a yearly basis...the city is in shambles....iru and eti-osa lga that generate the bulk of the IGR I left to rot....

Speak no more...the Blackman is a problem to everybody inclusion himself

I have repeatedly stated this as well most especially when I see Nigerians talk down on South Africa.

If South Africa should stop developing today Nigeria with the rate n governors we have will not catch up in a thousand year.

OP you claim you have been to Europe please name a country that is more beautiful than the places you visited in South Africa.

I bet to say there is none. South Africa is country where tarred roads are built to doors of each houses unlike Nigeria that is struggling to build n maintain highways.

I told someone dem no de park shit for SA, the drainage don't smell, you can't even see any. Sewage system is already in place.

OP if you are in doubt of any country in Europe being more beautiful visit Cape Town, water front especially to dispel such believes.

I have never been to the USA but no country in Europe is beta developed than SA. They have functional speed training running from Pretoria to Jo'burg, they have the normal rail.

The airport not so pretty but none can not be compared to those in Nigeria in terms of efficiency. Nigerians make una listen n listen good South Africa n Nigeria no be mate n would never be not in this life except the White do us the favour they did to them.

50 billion Fashola and Akpabios join together can not turn Nigeria to South Africa if they are given a million year. We are talking about your best ever performing governors from APC n PDP.

If any Nigeria care to now every / any where in Capetown is as neat as any Nigeria sitting or living room and am talking about outdoors roads. You'd drive through out the length n breath of South Africa without a single pothole that is as big as the size of an iPad. I never saw one n believe that is the worse you can ever come across.

I have driven with friends from Pretoria to Durban no single pothole about 4 hrs drive, frim Brakenville to Cape Town not a single pothole, from Jo'burg to Pretoria etc

Bro it will not take a lot for Nigeria to meet up with South Africa, if Jesus should come down to support you I doubt if Nigeria can ever meet up. That is the only basis or option for us to meet up.

This OP na learner.

Have you looked at the WEF Global Competitiveness Report for 2015? In case you haven't, let me give you a brief.

Even in our own little West Africa, Ivory Coast, Gambia, Senegal, Ghana, Mali and Cape Verde have better infrastructures than Nigeria. Nigeria ranks the worst (140/140) in Africa on some factors and indices like healthcare and education.

Until nigeria ditch foreign construction companies and start developing local technologies to meet nigerian problems, we are still joking!
Using local materials, Nigeria should embark on massive construction of roads and other physical infrastructures and stop inflating road construction contracts.
Then we will start!

I don't doubt that Nigeria has a bigger economy than South Africa, and the economy is highly hindered from growing even faster due to poor infrastructure. Economy isn't just about infrastructure (even though this helps immensely), but population also plays a role. Nigeria has the population (market) and the natural and human resources going for it. Is there room for improvement, yes. And just for clarification, Nigeria didn't just overtake SA economy a couple of years ago, it was bigger before then but not fully evaluated, do you know how big the country's informal economy is?

You are a complete moro.n and economic illiterate. For your information, you dunce, the Nigerian economy is Africa's largest BY FAR, and it has ABSOLUTELY ZILCH to do with the standard of infrastructure in South Africa. If we are to measure the size of economies by infrastructure, then UAE or Kuwait would easily be the world's largest economies. But India and Pakistan are larger economies than UAE or Kuwait by any measurement, even though you will see levels of deprivation in the former that can never be seen in the latter. USE YOUR dull BRAIN FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE. NITWIT who found himself in South Africa and can't control himself. ''Largest economy'' does not mean ''most advanced'' or ''most developed'', or ''best infrastructure''. It means LARGEST ECONOMY, QED. IGNORANT DULLARDS DROWNING IN INFERIORITY COMPLEX.

[size=15pt]I had always known the biggest lie in Nigeria is that our economy is bigger than South Africa.

Perhaps South Africa decided not to expose our lie with data because they didn't want their business interests in nigeria to suffer. But that lie is so evident nonetheless.[/size]
