We thank everyone who has stopped over to engage on this video. We started this series in a bid to enlighten Africans about the unique differences in our individual countries and shoot down some misconceptions. Feel free to add your voice and shed more light but please let us keep it decent in the comments. Thanks
White Code Centre this is very interesting to me as a black american. I wonder what you think of us? I know we have no country who claims us.
Michael Woodard you have the whole continent of Africa, please stop acting as if you are foreigners in Africa, this is your home
Hi Michael, all 55 countries in Africa shall be here with arms wide open if you do choose to come over. :)
Mr Mo i wish i knew where.
Ghana was offering citizenship to all Blacks in diaspora who wants to return to Africa, check that
I am somalian I work with nigerian brothers three years in Germany 🇩🇪 I like them respect great nation and every where they are when it comes to Africa they are 1😀
Then why is Nigeria such a big failed mess if they're that good?

Pietro u are a fool with such statement, Nigeria ain't mess but blessing and king of Africa, a country whose country's population is much more than all Africa country
@@pietrojenkins6901 it's because of your evil country foreign policy and the encouragement of corruption by providing a safe haven for looted wealth. Stolen African resources built Switzerland, Luxembourg and almost every stolen artefacts can be found in the UK.
I'm a German. I have many Nigerian as friends here in Frankfurt. My boss is Nigerian. What a lovely people. I love them. I don't really care about what media wrote about them.
Racist
Neo Kaidu how can a German be racist just because he like Nigerians😂😂😂😂😂because he's German 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mein Mann at your own risk writing on an African blog especially nigeeeeerian 😂😂😂
In 2007 there was a big brother Africa and the Nigerian girl had sex with a Tanzanian guy she was soooo hungry for it that they didn't show it on tv but was on internet even though we all saw it I was insulted like neeeeever in my life just because I was against her and actually I was at work it made me feel inappropriate
Mann du bist courageous!
Thanks you so much. We love you too. I will like to know you
@@arushanioshaka5600 Stop being butthurt
Love you too bro
Let me drop this and I render no apology.
1. That all over the world Nigerians are setting the pace and becoming the standard by which others measure themselves in many spheres of life?
2. That in the US, Nigerians are the most educated immigrant community. Google it and you’ll see it. Not one of the most educated the most educated?
3. That 60% of Nigerians in the US have college degrees. This is far above the American national average of 30%.
4. That Nigerians in US are one of the highest earners, typically earning 25% more than the median US income of $53k.
5. That In Ivy League schools in Europe and America, Nigerians routinely out perform their peers from other nations.
6. That a Nigerian family ‘The Imafidons’, is the smartest family in Britain, they gave no excuses in educating their five children, who have broken national records in education. The family, have officially been named the smartest family in the UK.
7.The designer of the famous car Chevrolet Volt is Jelani Aliju a super talented Nigerian from Sokoto state.
8.The world’s fastest super computer was designed by a world renowned inventor and scientist Philip Emeagwali, a full blown Nigerian whose patency was awarded in 2015.
9.The wealthiest black man and woman on earth are Nigerians Aliko Dangote and Mrs Folorunsho Alakija. Both have no trace of criminal record of any kind.
10.South Africa couldn’t have ended apartheid and achieved black rule if not for the leadership role Nigeria played.
11 Of the 3 South African presidents who ruled after apartheid, 2 of them once lived in Nigeria under asylum. Both Nelson Mandela (in the 60s) and Thabo Mbeki ( in the 70s) lived in Nigeria before becoming President of South Africa . Nigeria gave financial and human support , boycotted an Olympics and Nigerian politicians, musicians and activists campaigned relentlessly.
12.Nigeria spent over $3billion and lost hundreds of soldiers to end the wars in both Liberia and Sierra Leone, which were ignored for a considerable period by the west. However it must be said that after about a decade of carnage and instability the UK under Tony Blair intervened. For which Sierra Leone and Liberia are extremely grateful to all who helped end the bloodshed.
13.Nigeria restored elected Sao Tome and Principe President after a coup in 2003. Organised by God knows who.
14. Before there were street lights in European cities, ancient Benin kingdom has street lights fueled by palm oil. Present day Nigeria
15.500 years ago Benin kingdom casted metal alloys to create magnificent art including the world famous Queen Ida mask.
Nigeria gave monetary gifts to Ireland during the oil boom and built a statue for France free of charge. Nigerians are not poor blacks. Nigeria is rich don’t be lied to.
The first television station in Africa was NTA Ibadan (1960) same time as Ireland and their RTE station.
On the 7th May 2016 at Howard university in Washington DC, history was made . Out of the 96 graduating Doctors of Pharmacy, 43 of them were Nigerians and out of 27 awards given 16 went to Nigerians .
AND FINALLY!!!!!!!!
There are over 180 million Nigerians world over and less than 250k of this figure have traceable criminal records.

fasasi tosin True, but it would have been a shame if this wasn't so, considering your population is beyond the roof. That's why u have greater portions of everything good and evil.
Well written
Ghanamagic bb So because there're big in population that's why they are able to excel ?...🤣🤣🤣. So why did Indian not over take America then? My friend Ethiopia is second largest in Africa with a margin of 80,000 so why are they not also. Now lemme even ask u this a woman who gave birth to 8 or 12 children as the case usually is/was in Africa is that a guarantee that family will come out top than those with 1 or 3 children! My friend make good use of your brain pls, there's no place i repeat no where is it written that one person has the monopoly to succeed, pls say something else! Coming from a ghanaian i'm not surprised though, what never cease 2 amaze is the amount of hate among blacks/Africans. I guess we should also conclude from this dumb statement that due 2 the population Nigeria engages in scam more than any other country! So why the heck are other populous countries of the world not labelled criminals base on this ridiculous conclusion or are they just saints? Sorry i can smell the insecurities from here...just one of the frequent dumb rantings on the internet!!!...😫
Thanks for the enlightenment
Just facts!!

Whether Nigerians are seen as bad people or not it doesn't stop them from excelling . Every body got their opinions. Who cares though?
Interesting point there Elalviz. Nigerians excel in a lot of things. It is important however not to discard every opinion. Some are genuine and can help us become better people.
lobsterbale 2 go and try doing scam if it's easy..don't you want money? Whatever it is,good or bad they do it well and that's what people like you are actually jealous and envious of...

That should tell u something about the people u call scammers.If I were u I will look for the good ones and learn legit money making and hustling from them. That's what smart Nigerians do , we learn from people and try to even be better #ifuknowuknow.
Neon Dawn lol for real you're not Nigerian? I find that hard to believe lol I'm Nigerian by the way.
Neon Dawn you are so right its painful when other African countries have a go at us Nigerians I'm not playing a victim card I obviously know Nigeria has a fair share of issues but hey, who doesn't. Every time I hear other African people talk about us, I know its not gonna be good things and its very discouraging I've always wanted to visit other sister nations but I'm afraid I won't be able to handle bad reception from fellow Africans well when they discover I'm Nigerian okay I'm ranting at this point *sigh*.
As a South African i have nigerian friends in RSA and my perception is they are very Knowledgeable especially about events that have occured throughout history in Africa as a whole,they are hard workers because alot of south africans struggle with start up businesses but nigerians move into the business world so fearlessly and what i love about them is they work as a collective,and it seems most of the things they are good at south african suck at.I love nigerians you guys are not bad people at all
Your analysis is very shallow,south Africa is better economically per capita

@@motionenergy808 Well, my brother. I lived in the Western Cape for 6 years. I got my P.hd from UWC. I have nothing but profound respect for SA and her diversed but beautiful people.
I come from a society where we love to learn from the good deeds of others and replicate at home.
The SA people have the right to clean up their lovely country and set things straight.
However, I know many townships across SA, that regard every foreigner as a Nigerian.
Do you know, that, there are just under 30K Nigerians in Mzansi?. That's according to SA Home Affairs Ministry. While there are about 185K SAs in Naija.
Let's find a common ground, and build a beautiful, enduring future together as two African heavyweights. Shalom.

I love the way the average South African woman carry their Natural short hair. I'm Chinedu from Nigeria.
Yeah thats true, even I used to cut my hair.
And I'm a Nigerian also
Short hair very popular in SA. I wish we didn't have such videos that compare the African countries against each other.... Let's spread positivity
Yea reminds me of my secondary school days
Letting your hair grow is more natural than cutting them
I am a south African, I love Nigerians people's by all my heart, I remember other day when my wife got miscarriage, one of the Nigeria gave me R500 for medication to look after my wife 😭😭.they love each other and respect to people's who are honest to them

You can hate us. But we love you guys. Proudly Nigerian
we love you too Boo Boo, so much.
I love Nigerians. I am an African, and I love Africa. I have lived, still living with my Nigerian people, and i have met quite a lot of the good Nigerians. I learned a lot from your brothers hey. I really wish we judge people individually, then, and only then we will know that everywhere we go there are bad people and they are good people. I love Nigerians❤. Here in South Africa, we do bad thing, yet expect foreigners to not act like us. We do most of the shity stuff, but we ourselves don't want to feel the same pain. If we just get along and understand each other, we will later learn we are all good people.

I lived with Nigerians when I was in Sweden. I saw that Nigerians are very clever, ambitious, hardworking, and very very open mind. But I realised that others Africans even Europeans, Americans… are jealous to them and lot of time they tell only the bad things about Nigerians . According to me, others Africans must take example to them
thank you will love too
its not jealous trust me
Take example so their cities can end up looking like Lagos! I think not.
But you're Nigerian yourself moss...?🙄

If only this talent could fix your own country
Your own country seem to reflect the opposite
If you can use the same speed to develop your country that will be wonderful
@@thabisomaila8095 I've seen you under every comment just trash talking Nigeria. Why are you so butthurt? Yes, Nigeria has the most people living under poverty in Africa. But I want you to know that big nations like the US and Great Britain all have eyes on Nigeria because all the efforts made by the people are very promising and the nation's gdp is going to increase drastically from nowhere. So I advice you, instead of trying to make Nigerians look bad in the comments, use that same time and energy to do something meaningful for your country. Be cheerful in other people's success and they will be cheerful in yours.
We are all Africans, stop denigrating Nigeria, it is a beautiful country despite its faults.
You insult them but at least they are masters of their country and their land and are respected, even if you consider them poor, they don't have white people holding the country and the land of their ancestors and poisoning them in townships with high aids rates, to choose I choose Nigeria over South Africa even if South Africa is GREAT
Wow this was a much needed video. I went from being sad to being happy and being sad again. Nigerians are not bad people and our media has a lot of work to do. Every country has both good and bad people. ...and yes she does have a rihanna look.
Thank you Goodnews for the feedback. And we do share your sentiments too about the mixed feelings that the video does give. Overall though, we hope to see Nigerians and South Africans get along more

I am dead. fulani people looks similar to you guys though. 😂
SANKOFA X since then nigerians know me or call me fulani 😀
Kamal Mohamed . The fulanis are one of the most beautiful people in Nigeria, they look like the Somalian, Ethiopian and erithians
you are right @roma. if not for their reclusive and conservative culture, they could easily take over nollywood and modelling industries.
Lol I like these conversations, I'll say this.. The first time I got into serious trouble, I was with a Nigerian friend lol. But also my first successful business, I had a Nigerian business partner. IMO Nigerians are more explorative than most Black Africans, that's why they succeed in business, taking risks is like second nature to them.
There's a miss concepts here, when they're saying Nigeria is loud, we have confident when we are talking, so we do speak with confidents
This has actually been said by your countrymen comparing SA with Nigeria
They natural born hustlers, satisfying customers, people hate what they can't conquer, fear what they don't understand. They see problems as opportunity and people hate it ! Even in my country Kenya people see them as cons for me being a global citizen I give them a thumbs up for their innovation. I just love their hustler spirit. Hope we all have the same spirit, nobody can take your job if you really qualified. You want that job then hustle to be equal as talented. They say the dream is free but the hustle is sold differently. One Afrika!
Stanley Muia .. thanks
God bless you my brother
why are south africans encouraging nigerians to do drugs?, if you stop buying, nigerians will stop selling, dont put all the blame on nigeria, even though i know we have to really check our attitude outside the country.

I’m a South African who loves Nigeria. Just like South Africa it has good and bad people. I’m here for closeness amongst African people . I dated a great professional Nigerian guy but my mom also feared based on the drug stereotyping but I loving taught her not to judge all based on the actions of a few but to judge each person individually as we’d expect the same .

RESPECT THE FLAG!! 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 #naijaPower
I'm South African and the first things that comes to my mind when i think of Nigeria are, drugs, barber shops, money scams through fake jobs and churches. The reason is that these are things that happens on our door steps in South Africa. Just walk the streets of Sunnyside, Hillbrow and Joburg CBD and see what I'm talking about.
You have just met a few persons and you have given your verdict on Nigerians. What if I say that every South African has AIDS, what will you say? I guess you would say it's a fallacious statement. Be open minded!
lehlogonolo Ditshego that is because you are an illiterate and myopic one at that.
Sadly it is the reputation of Nigerians in SA I am sure their are a many good Nigerian people
Bad impressions about us we Nigerians. We are helping you South Africans free from your Apartheid mentality!!! I fought for the Freedom of Nelson Mandela as an African.open your eyes.
Refer to the video title, my eyes are wide open. I don't care what Nigeria does or what you did.
My view is my view.
I must commend the South African lady she's very well informed and obviously don't conform to stereotypical thinking.
I’m from Georgia 🇬🇪 and I think Nigeria 🇳🇬 people are the best in Africa because have work with so many of them.
They are loud because you can’t cheat them .
Ty🥰
Loud, loud, loud OMG!! My husband is Yoruba and when we first met I thought he was yelling at me all of the time. We both had to adjust and life is good..
I think it's the excitement for life I had to tell my guy babe be gentle breathe but I love his love for life.

Lols sorry dear, he's actually nice

In my next world if I am gonna be an African I repeat if I am gonna be an African I will definitely be a Nigerian.. so put some respect on that name ( naija)
Sounds like Ninja right?
Everyone listen before u blame Nigerians for crime or what not, take a look at the society first. Nigerians are the most educated immigrants in U.S with little or no crime rates, why? The society.
The crime rate in SA by their indegines is high so when foreigners come into such system they help you take it to the next level. I am speaking from facts... I have cousins who are South Africans.
calebo wo I hear you on this the African environments need improvement it's dying for our youth input but as an African all I do is be hopeful communication and exposure to one an other would definitely improve our relationships. Electricity, roads, technology, our education is a must for our future. We need to put our differences aside for a better Africa for African.
My brother u don't need to explain, South Africa don't count for me..
La Verne i see you all over trying to highlight Nigerians in a negative way, so i ask you are your citizens so pure and innocent that you've chosen to embark on this mission?...lolss!!
La Verne But here's not the only place where u hv dropped a comment, and u come across like someone who's so pissed and angered 2wrds them, sorry that's exactly the vibes ur transmitting ...lolss!! If ur gonna correct the "fallacies" at least still drop a line abt their strength 2 so u don't be like a hater! But hey! Whatever! Africans would always remain divided when we choose not 2 celebrate each other. Then again u might not even be African so it's the usual...💁♀️
La Verne Now Boyyy!!! Where in my sentence did i suggest u might be a Nigerian or are u blinded by the hate that u cannot comprehend simple words? I was referring to the fact that Africans generally do not embrace each other, the hate amongst them is deep rooted but then again what a fine avenue to still bring in Nigeria's cultural diversity..lolss!! Pls miss me with that story about u being an American..🤣! But again America and it's own troubles...🤐Everyone will be okay lass! lass!..🤣🤣
Respect to Nigeria🇳🇬 never a dull moment naija🇳🇬 for life
I have traveled all over the world including the African continent. My luggage was stolen in South Africa. I had a great time in Nigeria. That is one place you should visit before you die. The energy there is infectious.
My people in particular Nigerians. I am from Zimbabwe myself, please do not allow what is said to separate us. Ignorance abounds on these internets. Let's learn about each others cultures and seek unity. Pointing fingers at each other achieves what.
Thanks, maximum respect. Currently working with beautiful souls from Zimbabwean here, they are my best.
Great work guys. I love the balanced perspectives. I'm Nigerian and I like to look at other African countries to learn what I can. Point is, if you see something you need to learn, don't let the bias of nationality rob you. Calm down and learn. Nigerians are actually great people too. I love Africa. Peace & love.
I'm Nigerian...... Not proud of the country but the *identity*.....We are not bad people... Some of us have just gone through a lot especially the adverse effects of bad government
If you ain't proud of your damn country. See yourself out please. Idiot
Peter Amobi you got to be proud of your country regardless of the ugly situation that confronts our people on daily basis. We are a strong, confident, loving, welcoming and hardworking people. You can't allow the bad things that are happening in our country beclouded the good things that are happening. We gotta stay strong and kepp loving our country and hoping and praying for the best. You can't just love and be proud of your country only when things are going smoothly. God , in his infinite mercy, will give us a leader that will hear the cry of people,,and restructure , reposition, transform, and change our beloved country for good Amen.

What ever people may say abut us am so proud to say am from Nigeria I really love my country because and am so sure that tins are still going to be better
I met a Nigerian who called me to pay me for sex, thank God I was coming from church so I laughed it off and walked away. He went ahead to insult me and telling me how my country was so poor and I needed that money(he had no idea which country I was even coming from) i just told him he was the reason why nigeria is misrepresented and I asked God to forgive him. When most of them great you and you ignore them they feel like beating you up and the reason you ignore them is cause you don't know what they will say that might trigger you to anger so you would rather walk away. I kind now love them from far, I have zero envy for them. They can be fun to go out with and are hilarious people but when communication shifts I just walk away
I'm surprised here that they're sugar-coating bad deeds and implied intents of Nigerians. Secondly, they only interviewed people with positive experiences.
The first speaker said Nigeria is overpopulated, but I don't agree with him. A few cities in Nigeria like every other city in the world are overpopulated.
That is true Nwariaku. It would seem that he was referring to Lagos, which is the one city most foreigners first get to know when they learn about Nigeria
Yeah, I think so as well.
Naija is overpopulated jor, ho-ha
I would say over 200 million people is over populated, for sure. That is 7th most populous in the world. And Nigeria isn't that big to have so many people. How can it be sustainable to keep growing?
@@automnejoy5308 did you know?
That everyone on the American continent can perfectly fit in the State of Texas.
If that is possible, why is it not possible on Nigerian soil with just 200 million.
“Overpopulation” is more or less a myth told by the Westerners to preserve their falling population and regulate the majority.
This is the most civil comments I have ever seen on RUclips about Nigeria and Nigerians.
Say what you may, good or bad, if it was not for Nigeria or Nigerians, the world will still think Africa is full of black people running around naked in the jungle with Lions and Tigers. Nigerians are pushing Africa to acceptance globally through music, Nollywood movies, education, fashion, and culture. If Anything, Africa needs to thank Nigeria and Nigerians!
sorry to disappoint you the first African Grammy is south African mirriam makeba she is the queen so relax we got it first not you.
I am a Nigerian, a Civil Engineer, I was in South Africa some some years ago, I wish I could be again, on a short visit, all I know is that every human community has good and bad people. using a minute number of persons in Nigeria to judge 180 million people of diverse culture and tribes is very unfair. Personally and culturally I have passion for South African culture and play video from Thakozani Langa and other artist a lot just because of the sincerity, naturality etc. involved. In fact the film Shaka Zulu is a treasure to me just for the wisdom he tackled the white imperialists and maintained the integrity of the culture. What ever u say about Nigeria the same goes for any African Nations. Its unfortunate that we were ruled by the military for too long a time and the psychic of the people just changed adversely in terms of survival.

A very beautiful, sexy and articulate South. African hostess. She nailed it. I love your natural hair and style.
Nigerian people are bad but they fought for your freedom and set you ingratitude people free from the brutal apartheid regimes
nomfundo fuma No, you are ignorant! Nigeria provided direct financial assistance to the ANC during the struggle. I remember also growing up listening to a lot of anti-apartheid S/African music on the Nigerian airwaves. Nigerians shared a lot of solidarity with the South Africans during their struggle against apartheid.
nomfundo fuma, an ungrateful subhuman behaviour will make you say this. Your infantile comment demonstrates your ignorance of history
nomfundo fuma You are very ungrateful,go read up your history,Nigerian govt gave money to ANC during the struggle and did a lot to stop aparthied.From Mandela to Mbeki to Zuma at one point or the other lived/stayed in Nigeria.Don't argue please,google is your friend.
nomfundo fuma I actually do understand that Nigerian universities offered scholarships to black South African students in the apartheid era. In the same vain Nigerian troops are losing their lives keeping the peace in many other African countries yet tgeir citizens hate Nigerians.
Nigeria in the 80s, every classrooms has written on top of the blackboard “ Apartheid is a crime against humanity”
I love you guys I'm from Nigeria
Thanks. You indeed are the don! :)
Nigeria is the most populous most educated Country in Africa, 37 states!!! It is the biggest economy in Africa!! Crime comes with size; there are criminals in every country. Most Africa countries are just like one state of Nigeria so stop comparing Nigeria to these small countries. I'm a Ghanaian and Nigeria is almost 8 times the population of Ghana but we always compare ourselves to them. Their economy and population is different so the people have to be more Assertive and proactive to survive , hence they take advantage of opportunities.
Not most educated, only populous but with education, not even in top 10, lets reason with facts over feelings
@@thabisomaila8095 smartest sha
Thank you. Lagos state alone is over 20 million people. Just Lagos alone.
Have more babies then Mr. Ghana!
You might want to match more people with good Government and less corruption
You finish everything 👏 nothing more to say to anybody.
I'm Afrikan in heart I don't just say it. I'm tired of Afrikans talking shit on Afrikans. We should have a panafrikan economic base in mother Afrika for Afrikans globally otherwise we will not have a Afrika to talk about 50 years from now.
Angel Enerst hahahha 😂 Afrikan nations jealous of Nigerians, what a good joke really. We love Nigerians and specially Igbo and Yoruba, got Yoruba and Igbo in the family.
I'm over it !!! we just cant get along we are not the same. I can respect the south but I do not want to be a part of the South . We are to culturally different. We do not eat the same food , We do not dress the same, or have the same tribal customs. And we do not look the same . We just are melanted people.
kemykat100 at the end of the day the whole world treats us the same, our tribes, food culture etc doesn't matter so why don't work togheter? There is people from every single country in Afrika willing to make Afrika better for all Afrikans. Don't give up because we can do this I've seen it happen. In my family we are bakongo, kimbundu, Yoruba and igbo now that's something positive!
We are the only continent with a self destruct button. I'm South African, and I can't believe what's happening in my country. I wish we could have continental shutdown and march against xenophobia. A lot of our people are lost!
If the bantu would only remember...
The lady is really informed, and she was pretty much unbiased about the whole thing. As for the guy, you didn't have to be defensive over Nigeria, you just had to say your views
He was trying to change the narratives and propaganda painted against his brothers and sisters and I applaud him for that.
Saying that Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa is true but it is also an unfair comparison. Nigeria may have a larger GDP but this is a result of the fact that their population is almost 4x that of SA. SA has a much larger GDP per capita than Nigeria and its economy is also much more diversified and industrialized.
Nigeria's economy may be larger but SA's is definitely much more developed which means SA has a richer populace. In my opinion that makes the South African economy superior.
Really upsets me to hear terrible things about Nigerians… I’m American and in love with a Nigerian and worry about the future of our Nigerian children.
You will never regret marrying a Nigerian .... knowing he can defend you and even die for you....Nigerians are heros
I'm South African and I love love love Nigerians. Only problem is the self righteous attitude towards others, I've observed this and realized that it's those guys who are less educated who are causing havoc otherwise the rest are super awesome and I don't care about the Negative Narrative of that bottles all Nigerians. 💞💞💞
I love Nigerians and Zimbabweans too,but they are so self righteous...it can be a turn off at times
Dear Nigerians please stop doing this in South Africa 😭👇🏽 m.ruclips.net/video/gKTAjh8nqqM/видео.html we are asking nicely! It's the 10th bust this 2020 pandemic
"She looks like Rhihanna"
That was the first thing I thought too; and it's in my eye as well.
That's right Gabriel! :)
No Nigerian Man cares about what you say or think about him. They simply dont care unless u talking business. Save your breathe people!
You should care more about everything including money. That is important in Africa btw.
Africans must unite, this statement is wrong
This ma country🇳🇬 is created differently from Oda countries WHY? Becos the way we are being viewed or observed by most countries are not cool. Everyone has a way of acting in other to make a earning. Due to the economy of our country we are known to be the strongest and more courageous in making sure we get the best out of wat we do. So ma country is the best in the world. Respect to every citizens of Nigeria🇳🇬
It's the 10th bust this 2020 pandemic alone
9:28 👏👏👏👏 so true! Xenophobia has NO place in Africa. As a Sudanese I remember when not too long ago there was an influx of Ethiopians, doing menial jobs and I would find an array of people (strangers and family members alike) detest that. I’m like ARE YOU out here trying to be the person who serves tea and someone is stopping you???!!!
It was a nauseating experience. Now look at where Ethiopia is and is headed and look at Sudan! I love my people but urgh it’s just so sad that we were once so arrogant and that we lost our sense of hospitality and “there’s enough for everyone” type of mentality. Africans don’t need racism nor unsupported stereotypes.
I love my Nigerian brethren, lol I’m sure my parents share some of the not so positive sentiments mentioned in the video but I’m glad I don’t.
As a Nigerian I will surely marry a Somalian..I'm obsessed 😍 about their beautiful women
I loved this episode, the south African lady is very well informed about things, the nigerian guy also. We need youth like you guys that will educate people about these 2 countries.
You two did a fantastic job on this highly informative and articulate video. I’m proud of you and looking forward to my first visit to both countries.
I'm South African I love Nigerian food 😋 and you guys vibes broken English I love all Nigerian music all I love Egbo traditional dance. And we have a lot of them who are our Dr. So love for them
why all African's country jealous of Nigeria
kevin Brown because 96%of them are bad people's and day thing that day are wish dan all African countries
Krisspy Jax plz mark your words 1st b4 you utter anything shit like this and if I may ask what is the IQ rate of those Nigerians drowning in the Mediterranean sea going to Europe
keep on dreaming no doubt they gat high Iq brave minds,goal getters..that's the fucking reason they took that big risk in order to achieve success tomorrow..
Krisspy Jax dude you are sick happy time
kevin Brown
i wish to ask that same question because it is clearly written. Is nobody fault that Nigeria is setting the pace. African we are one what happen to the fight our great african leaders fought for. let try to love each other nd let africa grow please
🇳🇬I so much love the way the South African language sounds...like I download lyrics to their songs to sing along even without knowing the meaning....I'm proud of my country and I really like SA. I'm not happy with their negative comments about us
If a group of 100 people have R100 and the other group of 25 people have R80, which group is richer and which group per individual is richer? You don’t need a microscope to see who is wealthier between SA 🇿🇦 and Nigeria 🇳🇬
Lol. Your logic is dead, do your research well.
Come fetch all your Nigerian brothers out of South Africa and you’ll see my logic
@@ZAR_72 your economic will fall, you know nothing. The money you borrowed from Nigeria 🇳🇬 is not paid yet do you know that ?
Africans, in general, have to be open with each other and Nigerians have reacted to their own way of portraying themselves. Thanks
This girl doesn't wanna speak the truth...
For those complaining about Nigerians taking their jobs, my sister did her IT in a biscuit manufacturing company in lagos, she was in production department, there this this colleague she worked with, a yoruba guy Dayo by name, Dayo was a graduate already maybe did not pass out of the university with a good result but he's good at repairing and building stuff, yet he was given to least post in the company mechanical department, then the chinese are hired to run things in the same mechanical department, even though they don't know shit, when any of the machines broke down Dayo is the one to repair them while the chinese experts do nothing and he is 💯 better than this chinese experts yet he earns way below what they earn in a week, now did Dayo go about crying like a little baby? Nope did he go about killing the so called chinese experts? No, what did Dayo do? He proved to the company that he is 10x better than the chinese and the company sees it got rid of the chinese made Dayo the head of mechanical department, now that's the difference between Nigerians and other African countries, we don't fold our hands and wait for the government, I see what I like I take it even if it's in the mouth of a lion, lol and if i can't take it because of the lion's tooth, then I bring my dentist along but I must get what I want from the lion's mouth, that scary teeth ain't stopping me.
This analogy is lit 🔥
And yet most Nigerians are living in severe poverty. Using one story and extrapolating it to an entire population is anything but smart.
And yes you are increasing the competition for jobs in South Africa, both in the formal and informal sectors.
Look... The drug part is accurate whether we like it or not.
Go to any corner with drugs in Hillbrow, Berea, Yeoville, Braamfontein... And see how many Nigerians you'll find selling drugs. This is not media talk, it's real.
Just Blaze I don't know what is it that you're arguing with... Because you're not disputing what I said.
And don't get me wrong, there are brilliant minded Nigerians here as well.
I'm just saying the drug part is just accurate that's all.
It's a fact.
Just Blaze my thought too. Who consumes the drug
Bridjet Etoo the vulnerable obviously...
true, don't forget sunny side,
You are right when you talk about the attraction of quality. Our government are the ones who created this problem. They should have made sure that they take out bad people from our society. In that way, good South Africans will interact with all the other good Nigerians peacefully without our reputations being tainted by a few bad ones. Salutations, from SA.
I am Nigerian and sorry to say it we have a terrible reputation. Yes we want to excel anywhere and everywhere we go, but we do it at all cost either good or bad and that itself says a lot. We break laws and don't always do the right thing in search of money (we basically worship money). Globalization is not working and countries around the world are shutting down their borders. The citizens of each country should always come first and that is their right. Trump literally built a border to stop immigrants (immigrate kids in America are literally locked up in cages and waiting to be deported) and UK left the European Union. Human labor and man power is in the decline and technology is on the rise.
When South Africans and other nations see that they cant provide jobs for their citizens and the citizens feels like they cant find a job they will surely revolt. If we Nigerians are so great and super intelligent, why cant we develop our country.
Deji you the most honest person in this conversation, I feel these guys are on eggshells without honestly
In Every country you see good and bad ones for sure not only Nigerian?
Difference is other people don't protect their bad apples as opposed to y'all 🙄
Majority of Nigerians are good
Very good
But their bad apples in SA are the ones who are well known
I mean everyone knows Pablo Escobar right🤔
Respect to all those dat love nigerians all over the world.... one thing i want to say is dat, cast the 1st stone if there is no crime in ur country .
Tony Ottamesere there is but Nigerian's case is that it is being done but they don't wanna fight,d love 4 money in naija dey horrible
Am proudly a Nigerian 💖💖

Pelo MK what are the Egyptians known for?

Egypt =pyramids 😂
The best solution to this dilemma is that we should have a really awesome South African TV show that is hosted by a Nigerian. That will really change a lot of people's perspectives!
Nigerians must stop doing this in South Africa for money 😭👇🏽 m.ruclips.net/video/gKTAjh8nqqM/видео.html it's the 10th bust this 2020! We are crying! How can we love people like this?
Nigerians are good people
It's just that their bad apples in SA makes the most noise while the good ones are low-key

She's prettier than Rihanna, although she resembles her. She's a better looking version of Rihanna.
I love the lady, but this guy is very defensive. He is so defensive.
#proudlysouthafrican 🇿🇦
He is unbiased rather.
Let me explain to the girl how economy works. First manufacturing, retells and services, Agriculture, natural resources etc. In all this Nigeria is doing very well in retails and Services, they all so have Enough resources like oil, in Agriculture they're doing well. Number one in yam production, number one in Cassaver production, number four in Coca products etc. In manufacturing they are doing very well.
Hmmmm, in the US Nigerians are thought of as intellectual, industrious, spiritual, family oriented, artistic (music, acting, comedy, directing) but the negative would be scam artists. I have been to Nigeria, and have had the best experience in the south east, Biafra. Love the people and the food. Lagos took a bit of adjusting to get use to, different from SE; and overall I felt welcomed by the people of Nigeria.
Thanks Lena for sharing your experience which is clearly based on first hand interaction with Nigeria and Nigerians. It's good to learn about the perceptions of others too
White Code Centre You're welcome.
Trump thinks otherwise.
CA BO 😉So true, but I know better.
@Lena Davis thanks for your honest comment. I live in the US and each time i say i am Nigerian, all i get as feedback is "Scam emails". It hurts. Meanwhile most black doctors in the US are Nigerians, a highschool student (Nigerian) got accepted into 8 IV league schools, but the news headline never said she is Nigerian. It is sad
Good job guys...
Enjoying the talk.
Great perspectives...
Proud to be Nigerian. We no dey send una. Una no fit do the things we fit do. We fit sell water to well. Una fit do am
Very intelligent lady. The media has a lot to do. South African companies have been the biggest beneficiary of Nigeria’s economy in the last 20years: MTN, Standard Bank, Southern Sun, Protea, DSTV and more all thriving. Xenophobic attacks on other Africans will only harm the image and economy of South Africa. Police and enforce the law against immigrants who commit crime within the law by all means.
My space and its ambiance .. and if i may ask, what were you protecting your own from? and is it by killing other black africans like your self ?... you beast of no nation . you should be ashame of your self for saying this trash
South Africans believe in a mob justice and it's very unfortunate when it happens a foreigner is involved.so we shall continuo cleaning our country cz the law is too soft on d's immigrants who abuse our kindness.nobody hate the Nigerians they are good people same as the zimbabweans;thyr nice hearted...but u cannot just go to other people's country to commit crimes and wen things d's not go according to ur plan u run to the media crying of xenophobic attacks same as whites wen we tell them the truth thy say South Africans are racist..
Let the South African companies leave Nigeria, their network is so poor they will have to climb mountains to make calls, chase MTN and suffer, shoprite is a supermarket for the poor in South Africa, but you find the rich and celebrities buying there in Nigeria, their supermarkets are bad, hahaha
@@mokgalakatactical93 u talk like a fool,,glo it the best network in Nigeria and is belong to a Nigeria man
Nigeria is the only country you will live as a foreigner and feel so special with the way Nigerians will treat you
THIS DUDE NEEDS TO BE HONEST. I'M A NIGERIAN WHO HAS LIVED IN SOUTH AFRICA AND I CAN TELL YOU FIRST HAND THAT THERES MORE POVERTY IN NIGERIA THAN SOUTH AFRICA. NIGERIA'S ECONOMY IS BIGGER IN VOLUME DUE TO SOME MULTI NATIONAL COMPANIES THAT OPERATE THERE.THE CURRENCY IS WEAK.THE COUNTRY JUST ISNT ORGANIZED AND MOST OF ITS PEOPLE ARE POOR. YOU GET LESS IN NIGERIA FOR THE SAME JOB AND THERES NO CREDIT SYSTEM SO THAT LOWERS THE STANDARD OF LIVING.
loknan dombin I hope you have found yourself a good living and live well.You arw honest and welcomed to South Africa✌If you are gone come back
Well tell us the good part also man. Our music industry, our movie industry, self employed citizens and many more. Tell us what you know abt south Africa. Nigerian government is the reason why we have large number of poor people not bcod the nation is poor
@@zunaiandre2341 Why won't you give him thumb up. You been waiting to hear bad news from a negative fellow
Babangida caused the weak currency, ask him if Nigeria is better today than 1986 when N1.00 = $1.67
Guy, out of 200mil people, 130mil are rich (or richer). We have 80 mil poor population and that's because of unemployment (these people don't live on the street). Show us Source where the stated "most" people are in poverty. Until then, using "most" without justifying that statement just shows how lacking and ignorant you are. Don't be deceived. We have more rich people than in SA (population wise). It is true Nigeria isn't better like you stated but don't let your little experience blow everything out of proportion.
Blacks discriminating against blacks. When you leave Africa, you understand that a white man does not know whether you are from South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana etc. All he knows is that you are black. Why can't we do away with bitterness within Africa and embress our unique colour. One love Africa, one love South Africa, one love Nigeria. That's all we need
The lady surely looks like Rihanna
The guy who said Nigeria is the most developed country in Africa while living in the most developed country in Africa , South Africa, is clueless. The levels of development between Nigeria and South Africa are day and night. Night being Nigeria 🤪
There is something about Nigerians I don't get the culture the language the food like they are the most interesting ppl in the world we really love them n they r good ppl
This is the most educated show that I have yet watched regarding the debate on the perception of Nigerians. It exposes the lack of circumspect on the negative narrative that plagues Nigerians the world over. It's sad, but thanks guys for fostering a balanced narrative.
I love Nigerians where my Nigerians babies at say yeah yeah
