Dear if its cities you are talking about. Ask about lekki,victoria island,port harcourt city,calabar city,enugu town e.t.c . These places are heaven on earth. Its really difficult to even find a hut in Nigeria but there are so many in south africa. I dont like comparing both countries,but i had to when you called Nigeria a dump. I'm in south africa,so i'm in the perfect position to pinpoint the difference.

what are the nigerians going to do there in a hart filled SA, when they have good places like lekki, victoria island, calabar as you say. south africans never called them to come over.

dragonking2:
Tidy people that have the largest HIV dirty pigs in the world. Pleaseeeeee

Even when SA has 12m poor people, atleast their government takes good care of them, and you will never find a South african dying in the mediterrian sea trying to cross over to Europe, you can say all bull you want, but thats the truth.

dragonking2:
Yeah, no wonder you guys remain poor

yes, you are on point, remain poor in their own country, alteast they dont become other people in their countries problems because of their poverty, wish nigerians could do the same, remain home with their poverty and try to fix the problem. and stop queeing for any cheapest Visa available. Ask yourself why every country is crying about your people, from India, malaysia, kenya, zambia, china and south africa. you have become problem to the world not only in SA alone. when will you start staying home and fix your country, the easiest thing is to jump the border and go to become a problem in other people's country.

And where did you hear Nigeria sells electricity to Ghana?
Does that even sound logical to you?

It's actually gas that they sell to the Ghanaians, who use it make make electricity so it's practically the same thing.

There's so much that I've been learning about Nigeria and I've realised that the more I learn, the more my disappointment in this nation grows . Of course it doesn't make sense to anyone but ask yourself this: does Nigeria, being as oil rich as it is, having to import refined oil make any sense to you? Can you not see the correlation between the two?

Nigerians are everywhere. U can even see so many in common congo D. Travelling is in their blood

JSmart4u:


Please you know we can afford it,but we dont need it yet.We are the richest country in Africa!

what are you doing in other people's countries when you are the richest country in Africa, shouldn't be people from kenya, ghana, botswana, congo, zambia coming to your country since you are the richest country in Africa. All the fake figures regarding your economy just expose you right on your face, because on the country, it shows you are not the richest country. Your people would not be flocking by thousands to SA if indeed you were the richest country in africa. Am i wrong?

"That country ought to be worshipping Nigeria and Nigerians" BWAHAHAAHAHAHA!!! #MUMU

Worshiping nigeria u said, in what sense please? The earlier u begin to understand that nigeria is a dead zone, the better.. U didn't read how our country keep losing our PHd students from UI to SA universities? U didn't read that one?

As big as nigeria is, we rely on super sport to promote our league and show it to the world.. We relied on African magic to promote our movie industry.. Baba, naija is the cause of her problems.. Have u really been to SA? Bro, naija is many years behind SA..

1. Nigeria is not a dead zone. You might love to see Nigeria more like half filled cup rather than half empty.

2. When Multichoice was to be established. They had only one place in Mind - Nigeria. But because of the selfish attitude of then Military era, who was more interested in his personal gains.. Multichoice went to South Africa!
Your second point is not coherent to the discussion at hand.
There might be bad eggs that travel out and spoil our names but that doesn't mean it should be taken on on all Nigerians.

postemail:


It's not about defending "our" country. Of course we love naija. But the truth is Lagos is not comparable to jo'burg by an stretch.

This is what Nigerians flock to in drove. This is just the CBD of joburg, the whole province is just a concrete jungle of 13m lazy people and they managed to build this with their lazyness.. Go to SA embassy in lagos and abuja and see how nigerians are queeing for the SA VISA.

My man, what are you really smoking? when multichoice was established, they had what about Nigeria? can you repeat that again. And they went to SA, from where? Last time i checked Multichoice is 100% South african company, established and operated in SA for 10yrs before it starts to operate in botswana, zimbabwe, zambia and then the rest of the continent. It is owned by naspers, which is worth $77bn, the biggest media company outside of the USA, Its bigger than murdoch's sky group that owns Fox news and sky tv and sky sport that has rights for the EPL. You see south africa is not a mickeymouse country. We just sold SAB, our brewery by $104bn. SA=Money my man.

Ngozi123:


Why on earth would a South African or a Kenyan be jealous of Nigerians and Nigeria? You're the biggest country (figuratively speaking, not literally) in Africa yet you're riddled with terrorism, poverty and illiteracy. Both Kenya and South Africa have been making huge strides in the last 20 years yet you feel that they'd be jealous of a country that has barely improved since it 'received' its independence in 1960? I don't know where Nigerians get this arrogance from- you're not helping yourselves by having this attitude.

they are empty chest beaters.that's their trademark

LeSudAfricaine:

Unfortunately, many Nigerians have this mentality. They'd prefer to shout abuse at other countries because it's a much easier task than actually doing something to improve the decrepit state of their country. Look at how so many of them have been complaining the PDP and APC administrations here but you can be sure that they'll be voting for one of the two in the next election. The country's motto should be "all talk, no action".

Gas is not electricity so its not the same thing.Besides they have their own gas now.

emeka1101:

Ghana may have its own gas but it's also buying gas from Nigeria. Nigeria provides Ghana with gas, Ghana uses said gas to make electricity therefore it could be said that Nigeria is providing (a part of) Ghana's electricity for them. If I give you flour, yeast, salt and water and you use those ingredients to bake bread everyday then I'm practically providing your daily bread for you.

Essentially, Ghana is using it's electricity, a part of which is provided by Nigeria, more efficiently than Nigeria is. They use your own resources more effectively than you do. Isn't that ridiculous?

I think Ngozi123 raised a lot of valid points. Why is the country in a hopeless state despite over 40years oil earnings?

U said multichioce left for SA right? There is always a reason for everything.. Be it military or non military, they still chose SA over naija..

And they are not killing all Nigerians too.. How many South Africans are here in Nigeria doing baby sitting or roaming the streets? How many Nigerians do we have in SA doing same jobs and roaming the street? My brother nigerians are easily targetted in most parts of the world..

Even internet compamies are blocking nigerian IP..u sef know na..example is paypal and many others like that who have refused to trade directly with Nigerian IP but trades with SA and some other African countries..

U see, we need to fix our country first.. Blocking Nigerian IP is like killing Nigerians too.. Just that one is physical and the other is online murder South Africa is many decades ahead of nigeria bro...

You are on a platform called Nairaland, if you don't want to associate yourself with Nigerians, why are you here?

What do you guys derive from coming on a Nigerian blog to berate Nigerians at the slightest opportunity? It says a lot about your backward mentality and your tawdry personal character. You zulu chimps seem to enjoy coming here constantly to post pictures of SA like you never seen a sky scraper building before, if your indigenous population only own 3% of the wealth, it means you're effectively still slaves showing off your masters assets to brag while many of you still suffer from hunger and disease..hence the cause of your frustration about more industrious foreigners.

Bro, I am a nigerian.. And u said only 3% of blacks control the SA economy.. It is true shaaa.. But it is same with us here in naija na.. Only 3% of our political and wealthy class control our economy.. Only 3% of our population control our economy.. This also shows why Nigerians run to other controls to pursue life.

For godsake, nigerians even do baby sitting in SA and Egypt.. Hey, that shows how unfriendly nigeria is.. Wake up bro

South Africa is the only country I never dreamt of going. They are still under slavery since their economy is being controlled by whites.

Kenya is another stupid country that will embarass Nigerians at their airport. Those ones are controlled by Indians.

Learn to stop being so negative and condescending about your country, no doubt Nigeria is bad but not as terrible as the harrowing plight of many of these African countries that love to come brag on here. 3% or not we control majority of our own and there's a much bigger middle class in Nigeria than you think, compared to a country where only 10% of their CEO'S are black figureheads and almost 70% are white, where the literacy of their youth is hardly beyond high school level, they have no employable skills, no business savvy, they're lazy, smoke hard drugs, rob people with weapons and screw indiscriminately like monkeys. That's why many of them are angry delusional drug addicts infested with HIV who are mad at hardworking foreigners that don't need massa to feed them. Being a babysitter anywhere is no indication of anything, there are Mexican and Chinese babysitters in USA, there are Lebanese, Indian and Libyan beggars on Nigerian streets, I had a Ghanaian and Togolese housemaid as a kid, that doesn't mean Togolese or Ghanaians are any lesser than Nigerians. SA must also be unfriendly to South Africans, otherwise they wouldn't be so hungry and frustrated to loot retail shops belonging foreigners all the while claiming that those self starters are taking their jobs, jobs that don't even exist! Isn't that madness? These morons must have deep low self esteem to keep coming here to post pictures of sky rise buildings like bush men, what's the essence of that? If Nigerians are so terrible as they claim, why come on nairaland at all? Don't they have SA land or something?

admax:

lol, see questions, it's a public forum, mate. We criticise whites for the fact that they built their empires on the backs of their former colonies but that doesn't stop members of the former colonies from going to their countries. I only spoke the truth, many don't like people who boast without anything to show for it, that goes for countries too.

tosmy:
I did not like to write on any thread but I like to read people reaction here,first I 'll like to advice Nigerian to stop exploring some African countries,like south Africa,Egypt and Libya and some country in Asia like dubai and quater,really there currency are more valuable than Nigerian currency, but all this listed countries did not have enough job to offer that can make your exploring dream come to reality,i 'll start with south Africa.You spent a lot of your savings to get the visa,but on getting there they started treaten you live second class slavery and in Egypt the only job they can offer is babe seating and house keeping job or if you can be opportune to have other Labour job and there payment are very low E.g $300- $350 per month wish I 'll never accept from anyone for 3 days on regular hourly charges.finaly Libya should be least country that Nigerian should have in mind because of there heartless behaviour to other African countries.pls let be wise up and do our primary findings before embarking on a trip to any country and don't be deceived by all does travel agents.they have a way of buying people mind so they pocket your money. once again let us be wise and do the right thing to archive our goal! God bless Nigeria.

Yea, maybe you shouldn't write... Just keep reading.

Aaand that Samuel Uche from Nyayo Estate Nairobi was deported for drug possession.
And yes, we will embarass you at the airport, the same way you are embarassed in every airport for being drug peddlers, scammers, extortionists etc
I think Nigerians suffer from an inferiority complex.Because Indians do not control Kenya.They never have. The Government of Kenya controls Kenya and there are no Indians there

700,000 Indians who have been around for more than a century in a country of 46 million is hardly a 'flood'. And the largest enterprises in Kenya are owned by the GOVERNMENT OF KENYA. Most parts of Kenya do not have Indians.They live in urban areas
Living like slaves. Eeerm.I am richer than all my Indian neighbours for starters. Where have you heard of Kenyns 'living like slaves' by Indians. TYhe last time they tried, some Indians got raped(in 1982)
