Nigeria was, but now she is a sleeping giant. Wake Nigeria'''' It is 6:am.

.....sleeping giants?....More like a sick close-to-death giant.

Talking about health care...another measurement of an advanced society, South Africa
has a better health care than Nigeria. Rich nigerians go to South African for superior   
medical care. The irony is that Nigeria graduates more doctors than South Africa, yet
they have better hospitals, and health care delivery system than we do.

3. More private jets
3. More Millionaires
4. Top in Corruption in Africa
5. Worst Roads and poor transportation system (neglected highways)
6. More cellular (mobile) phones
7. More university graduates (although 54% are unemployed)
8. More corrupt Justices (millionaire judges) accepting bribes to set guilty
    politicians/ex-governor free. Or 2-year vacations in prison for gross financial crimes.

10. More professors demanding sex for grades.
11. More Corparate Managers demanding sex for employment from female job seekers.

Was their comment unpatriotic? YES, where their reasons for saying it justified? well, YES. the only problem I have is why would they have to bring Nigeria into the contest of comparison with South-Africa? South Africa is good, and that's that, not involving Nigeria into the matter. However, as a Nigerian who had visited South Africa in 2007 even b/4 d world cup, no need to fool oneself...SA is way better than NGR. Ppl in SA are also suffering & poor too, but what is the percentage compared to Nigeria?

WELL, I MUST SAY THE TRUTH, NIGERIA IS A GIANT OF AFRICA IN TERMS OF CORRUPTION, BRIBE, AND IN TERMS OF OTHER NEGATIVE WAYS. NIGERIAN ECONOMY, EDUCATION, SECURITY ROAD AND EVERYTHING ABOUT NIGERIA  HAS BEEN STAGNANT. NIGERIA IS NOT THE GIANT OF AFRICA BUT SOUTH AFRICA IS.

NIGERIA WAS UNABLE TO COORDINATE AND HOST A WORLD CUP BUT SOUTH AFRICA DID.

HOW MANY FOREIGNERS ARE STUDYING IN NIGERIA? BUT GO TO SOUTH AFRICA YOU SEE GOOD WONDERS YOURSELF

I GIVE KUDOS TO SOUTH AFRICA.

MY GIRL FRIEND READ THE POST BELOW AND SHE ASK ME DID I LIED TO TELL HER THAT NIGERIA IS THE GIANT OF AFRICA .SO I WANT TO KNOW IF NIGERIA HAS LOST THE TITLE AS THE GIANT OF THE WHOLE AFRICA .

CHECK THIS VIDEO
After the holiday: Bimbo and Seun reflect
 Huh?



Have you seen that TVC where South African's got Nigerians to say - South Africa is Truly The Giant of Africa?.
A lot of Nigerians who have seen the ad are outraged. They feel the couple sold out.

For those who haven't seen it, let me explain.

There's a TV commercial currently running on DSTV promoting South African Tourism. In the TVC, (which is used by South Africa to encourage Nigerians to choose the country as their holiday destination), a Nigerian couple who introduced themselves as Bimbo and Seun Somolu, based in Lagos, are shown having the 'time of their lives' and saying great things about South Africa. Their statement included "South Africa can rival any western nation". The wife concluded by saying "South Africa is truly the Giant of Africa" And she actually laughs after saying this.

To some Nigerians who have seen the commercial, what the couple said was unpatriotic. To others, it is just a professionally done TV commercial. While some think that there is some element of truth in the claim.

What do you think?

Meanwhile meet Bimbo and Seun in two videos after the cut...and watch Bimbo say in video 2 (30secs) that 'This place (SA) is the Giant of Africa'

I thought Nigeria was the Giant of Africa? If I catch these people eh...lol

NIGERIA GIANT FOR WHERE  Huh? ABEGI!

Indeed South Africa is an amazing country...  u don't need to be here to attest to that.

all that Nigeria needs is the right leadership but it's such a pity cos i can't see this present PDP offering Nigerians quality leadership.

U can't take any political party that publicly celebrated an incarcerated member,  released from prison after serving jail terms for corruption as a serious political platform that can produce a visionary leader.

I will be ashamed of this country if PDP still retains the leadership of Nigeria after the 2011 elections.
