Why isn't NIGERIA as developed as SOUTH AFRICA?

South Africa is clearly more developed than Nigeria based on various important metrics. But why isn't Nigeria as developed? I discuss this in detail in this video.

Do your research. Well above 50 percent of black South Africans are living in poverty. South Africa has the highest unemployment rate in the whole wide world, and it is mostly because of the overwhelmingly unemployed black SA population. You can Google and see for yourselves. The wealth and good life in SA is for the wytes. But SA blak population are the poorest in Africa.

[@lozi4163]

SA has 17 500 black millionaires and black South Africans have the highest collective wealth in Africa sitting at more than $400B and this is the reason why we have the largest black middle class, middle lower class, black upper class and black millionaires in Africa. The first millionaire and billionaire in Africa is a South African, we have been generating wealth from the time of apartheid. The only blacks wealthier than us are black Americans and Brazil which i am not sure about Brazil. The total wealth of black South Africans is more than the wealth of all countries in west Africa combined or the once in East Africa. The actual total wealth of SA is $661B from private citizens and $145B from state entities such as PIC and BEE. This wealth which is more than $800B is generated from listed assets and commodities in a form of investments that generate wealth mostly from JSE stock exchange which has market capital of more than $1.3 Trillion and the ownership of black SA hold %30 and whites holding %25. It is important to notice that the South African companies stretch far beyond the borders of JSE/SA or Africa as a whole, some of this companies are listed on other global stock exchanges and they own shares as well. Is also important to notice the 70% ownership of SA economy by foreign entities and individuals which illiterate people throw it around. If you remove the 70% of JSE black South Africans remains with more than $400B which is the highest concentration of any collective wealth in Africa followed by Egyptians with total wealth of $350B with a population of 110million then is Nigerians with $228B and a population of 220million. Back to the 70% ownership, 25% of JSE is owned by white South Africans and this figure makes them the wealthiest group in Africa when you consider wealth per capita. The remaining of 45% of JSE is owned by foreigners from all walks of life but majority are western entities followed by Asia The other wealthiest blacks after black South Africans will be blacks in Namibia, the have the richest blacks per Capita in Africa after us. The richest bank in Africa is standard bank which is largely owned by the bank of China and the government of SA is second largest share holders. The assets on standard bank are worth $170B and the second richest bank in Africa is still a South African bank again owned by government through the pension funds with total assets of $80billion. Keep in mind that, although bank of china owns largest shares on standards bank, SA entities still have the most collective shares because PIC and SA insurance companies owns the most collective shares. Naspers is the richest company in Africa owned by SA government and as for Nigerians they just claim to be rich, they can never break it down to what they talking about like i did because there is no wealth there but poverty

[@bigboyindhouse8142]

@@SpotlightNews_11 Go check out the following statistics: South Africa has the highest unemployment rate in the whole world, and this is due to the extremely high unemployment rate among the black population, which is why SA is in the top 3 countries with the highest crime rate in the world. The blacks in SA are some of the poorest in Africa, and 64% of their population live in poverty. So, the wealth and riches U are talking belong to the Oyibos (wytes).

Great video with useful information! As a Nigerian who has lived in South Africa my fellow Nigerians always argue with me when I tell them that South Africa is way more developed than Nigeria. Nigeria's first problem is bad leadership and lack of patriotism. Nobody cares and they sabotage the country massively for personal gains. The only time nigerians are truly patriotic is when the super eagles are playing and even at that people aren't as enthusiastic as they used to be. South Africa also has a better human rights record (post apartheid) and accountability which is one of the key factors that hamper or aid development in any country. In Nigeria the president, governors etc can do as they please and there are no consequences due to the lack of accountability. In South Africa the president cannot do whatever he likes! Mbeki and Zuma did not finish their terms but in Nigeria that would never happen no matter what they did! A South African friend of mine who lives in Nigeria ( one of the few) once told me that Buhari wouldn't have lasted for more than 3 days in office in South Africa! We need to stop lying to ourselves that we are the giant of Africa. I get upset every time I hear Nigerians say that because it only encourages complacency!

[@NinohBrown]

Its simple Nigerians are not patriotic about Nigeria as South Africans are patriotic about their country. Nigeria has millionaires in Nigeria and in the Nigerian diaspora but none of them seem to be contributing to the development of Nigeria, beside popping bottles. If it were South Africans playing football in numbers in EPL/la liga trust me most of that money would be coming back to SA to build. The reason South Africa seems to be developed its simply because active citizens and patriotism. How many African leaders would have done what Mandela did by stepping down voluntarily as president of the country?? And how many countries in Africa change political power peacefully? If you want to know why Nigeria is less developed check its leadership. I can make you an example of Rwanda thats building a world class tourist country or Namibia thats building the best road network in Africa even better than SA its all about leadership

[@loknandombin5460]

@@user-tn7qd6ze1oi get what you are saying but what you are suggesting is not as simple as you put it. An Example is our Country South Africa it was built and is still being built on the backs of Migrants particularly our own African migrants. Go to Sandton, Rosebank, Cape town even rural areas those new houses being built are mostly by non SAns. There is a song my Hugh Masekela 'Stimela' details how Africans were brought to SA to build the Mining Sector and cities like Joburg. So my guy colonisation tells us who funded what project but doesnt who actually did the work/labour/skills

[@MajorrBison]

Let's also leave out the fact that whites are involved in SA and we all know wherever they go, they bring their European lifestyle and infrastructure. Let just skip that part. Although, I believe blacks can build but in our life time, I am still waiting for a black country that can rival any European country without whites, its a shame that our leaders are not laying the foundation for us to build, they just steal and ruin everything.

Climate, if you think nigeria is hotter, Australia is much hotter than Nigeria, yet very developed, If you think, Nigeria location disadvantage Nigeria, what about Mauritius, that is in isolation, if you nigeria has more population, well the population should be an advantage to Nigeria. Government doesn’t print money and Share among its citizens, it relies on hard working citizens making money and paying taxes. That mean population is a major advantage to a country’s economic prosperity, something nigeria is blessed with. Natural resources; nigeria has far more natural resources than any country in Africa. Crude oil, natural gas reserves, water aquifer, (according UN, Nigeria has the largest amount of water bellow the ground but it’s citizens lack access to clean pipe borne water safe for drinking, ) almost all types of solid minerals, intellectuals, large water body for hydro dams, vast amount of energy reserves yet stable electricity is a challenge. Nigeria has all the advantages over South Africa from this short write up. So what is your point exactly. Oh the white men were in were South Africa but they were also in nigeria, they built Nigeria early infrastructure. Do you think it is what the white built in the airports, seaport, roads, electricity generating plant built by the whites in the 80s that make South Africa among the good places to visit or it is the stadiums and infrastructure built by whites in the 80s they used to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup? Those were built by the blacks.

that's not true.That's not how allocation of GDP works.A country can have a large GDP but that GDP is just based on how much money the country generates,for example look at India they have a really massive GDP but the HDI is very low.Yes india has a large population and that might be one of the reasons as to why the money feeds less people than they'd want to but corruption can influence GDP per capita.South africa has things such as SASSA grants which many people in south africa live off because of unemployment and that grant is taken from tax payers which are also counted in GDP.According to studies less than 30% of Nigerians pay tax meaning if more nigerians paid tax the GDP would be significantly higher than what it is,and since tax is counted in GDP then less people will benefit from GDP per capita.In south africa there's also a similar problem with tax payers but the people who do pay tax at times account for 80-90% of tax which in south africa's GDP it can be 20-25% of it entirely which is a lot of money.

So you have relevant stats???

[@thabo3866]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@okesegun2118]

​@@limpopoRiverThe fact of the matter is no one knows the exact stats. Let's not be gullibly indoctrinated by whatever things we see on the internet bcuz they are pure conjecture.

The conquerors and thier generation must always keep South Africa afloat and wealthy because they don't even dream to leave South Africa.keep it partly Europe example orange County and all shore coast cities for exports of raw materials to Europe.Nigeria start from IMF loans and crude oil to attain our giant of Africa status.
