Superpowers aren’t necessarily about development or advancement, India is a world superpower but their not advanced or developed

I'm not talking about world superpower. There is no Superpower in africa. we can only rank African countries by their advancement in development, military and economy sectors.

vankelvin:


Please, as for advanced country in Africa I disagree.
South Africa is still strong in that category. Maybe Egypt will take that spot after they have completed their 25 new cities.

In SA, Gauteng has I've 27 cities being developed

Never mind the rest of SA

vankelvin:


Well in a second thought I think you are somehow right on Egypt being powerful than South Africa.

But I still insist on South Africa and Egypt being the 2 Giants

South Africa will be undoubtedly African Superpower if this Superpower thing was to be applied.

And then again, it can only achieve that status if their development was never influenced by apartheid.

But in real sense, if we're to ignore apartheid and military and focus on other indices, then SA would be undoubtedly Africa Superpower.

Yes. No one disputed that.
SA is advanced in development.

Egypt is also advanced in development and they are bulding more advanced infrastructure.

Egypt has the best military in in africa. (just like USA, if things were to go this way, then Egypt will be undoubtedly the africa Superpower)..

In africa, we deal with regional powers.

For instance, west Africa region has nigeria in control.

North Africa has Egypt

South has South Africa

East has kenya



This is Sub-Sahara

Wuoche:


You are wrong.
African superpowers are
1. South Africa
2. Egypt
3. Morocco

South Africa
Egypt
Algeria

Wuoche:


Morocco is superior to Nigeria in everything except paper GDP.

Why are you guys forgetting Algeria

vankelvin:


Are you sure Morocco beats Nigeria in these categories?

Military strength
Economy
Population/ Human resource
Influence
Entertainment
Sports
Technology
Culture etc

Military strength Morocco is better they are no insurgencies in Morocco
Which influence
Entertainment maybe
Culture is depends on taste
Development is what matters most and that Morocco floors Nigeria badly

Any country that can exert influence and indispensable in decision-making is a superpower.

Superpower can be on a global scale, Continental or regional... So therefore, there are superpower in africa but on a Continental or regional level, not global.

samdunzo:


True, but you know most of these minerals are starting to be phased out. Also, Rwanda is a problem there as well, as they've been smuggling minerals. I think Nigeria should strengthen our ties with DRC, Ethiopia & Eritrea, Egypt, and South Africa. Cuz these are the countries that I think have the most potential in Africa

Nigeria should start out with absorbing West Africa kicking out the French and revitalizing the region. Then strengthen ties with Central Africa(Cameroon, Chad, both Congos, Gabon, Angola etc). Ethiopia and Eritrea are liabilities they routinely flip flop between Pan Africanism and Anti-Africanisn. They also tend to give the middle finger to the rest of Africa and boot lick Westerners and Arabs when the moment suits them. There a potential future Trojan Horse. Relations with them can remain standard. I'd rather see Tanzania as the primary Eastern allie. Sure closer ties to Egypt can work but not to close same with Morocco and Algeria. South Africa can stay bilateral as it is.

I know.. But you didn't expound your Def.
A superpower is a state with a dominant position characterized by its extensive ability to exert influence or project power on a global scale. This is done through the combined means of economic, military, technological and cultural strength as well as diplomatic and soft power influence .

All these can only apply in global arena. No African country can influence any country in our region. that can only apply to sub-regions like west, east, south or north if African influence is to go by.

simply because there's no insurgency in a country doesn't correlates with military strength. Nigeria has had insurgency for over 10yrs but still rated above morocco in military strength, stop letting bias and prejudice to cloud ur sense of reasoning. Only Egypt, SA and Algeria are rated above Nigeria in military strength.

Which influence? Which country singlehandedly delayed AfCFTA?

Superpower is not even about scale of development but level of influence.

It sucks to even argue some nonsensical things borne out of stupid reasons here.

SA, Egypt and Nigeria do influence at African union. Not that any african country can't influence but the level at which these three countries influence is higher......Nigeria especially.

Africa's number one superpower and the giant of the world let the suffering and smiling begin

Is there any link that proves the bolded? ..
I can say US and China still have more influence in AU.

Appisko:


Yeah West Africas problem is the French infuence on the francophone countries

You are right

Let the suffering and smiling show begins now. Here is Africa's number one superpower

Appisko:



And Nigeria need to get it's stuff together

They are busy comparing themselves to Ghana instead of them working hard to be the real Giants of Africa

Well then your not following the conversation properly we’re talking about which African country is most likely to become a superpower in future that being Egypt and Nigeria

When Cameroon Benin Republic and Togo Republic past them far in front

Austine1213:

I think u should read more on AU, starting with it's formation.

I don't want to be drag this conversation long.

We don’t compare ourselves to Ghana, we are working to be at par with Egypt in terms of roads, railways and military, electricity,agriculture those industries take time to develop, but soon enough we will get a competent and revolutionary leader who will lead Nigeria to new levels.

Abohboy:


Well then your not following the conversation properly we’re talking about which African country is most likely to become a superpower in future that being Egypt and Nigeria

Are you the person who claimed India is the world superpower?

South Africa Kenya Egypt Tanzania Ghana must just look at the new superpower

South Africa is a real deal.

vankelvin:

A Nigerian can never compare themselves with Ghana.... If they ever do, it's to take a shot at Nigeria cos nigerian love to diss Nigeria, but compare themselves with Ghana? Nah.

Take that from me.

New superpower of poverty you superpower of unemployment new superpower of literacy new superpower of Hunger

vankelvin:


South Africa is a real deal.

funny enough, SA is a superpower now but projections has it that Nigeria and Egypt will be the superpowers from africa.
