South Africa is Giant of Africa,not Nigeria

I don't mean to be rude but being big does not mean that you are powerful. Let us state the facts. Nigeria is the biggest country in Africa in terms of population. South Africa is different case.The only thing i as a South African is waiting for is to see Nigeria break into pieces and you will see the greatest potentials of South Africa because once Nigeria is no more,you will see the real giant of Africa.
 It is a deceptive appellation that Nigerias has worn this with pride. Political leaders, diplomats and commentators have over the years described Nigeria as the “giant of Africa”. Its size is intimidating. Its population surpasses other sub-Saharan African countries combined but is Nigeria the giant of Africa?

Nigeria is a very unique country. So also are the citizens. They are regarded, all over the world, as very special. If you are a Nigerian and in doubt of the last sentence, I implore that on your next holiday, pick up your green passport and make Indonesia or China your choice

Let us not be sentimental.
Nigeria is a unique country with a unique people who do not know their left from their right.
South African economy is bigger than the economy of West,North,East and Central Africa combined. If you can go to the Wall Street journal you'll see what I'm talking about. At least Egypt comes a little bit closer but they still have a long way to go. If Nigeria want to be an African giant, they must recruit their neighbours and form one country.Nigeria is not leaving in peace because Nigerians are corrupt even to their children,so its the name that Nigeria has,nothing else. This does not mean that we don't like our good old friends (Nigerians). In fact South Africa and Nigeria are the only African countries that the West are afraid of so,once Nigeria breaks,it only remain South Africa.
I have close to a hundred point to prove that Nigeria is finished and South Africa emergence has statred but i will give you just one point.
 As of 2006 South African GDP = 255,155,Nigeria = 115,350.Imagine what its going to be now.
Take a look at electricity,Nigeria is struggling to get just 4,000 mega for the whole country while South Africa is trying her best to reach 55,000 Mega Watts in December 2016.
As at September 2,2015,South Africa reached 44,262 megawatts and we are planning to improve.Let me stop here so that you can punder on these things.
Who is really the Giant of Africa?answer this in your hearts.
