Giant of Africa on which indices. Yeye de smell.
South Africa more than Nigeria in all indices apart from Human population. People that are measuring with Western countries.
If not for their lazy youth hates against fellow Africans, e for dey obvious say they Nigeria

Don't mind Nigerians. SA wey beat many eastern European countries. That country is miles ahead of any African country. Only maybe Morocco and Tunisia fit follow them drag for this continent.

But the fact is

1. Our car industry does not export anything

2. We can't attract the same kind of investment south Africa has because you chaps a government that stifles growth in our power sector via price controls.

3. And we still struggle with corruption

You people think corruption is only in Nigeria? Why was Jacob Zuma forced to resign?

giant for mouth, infrastructure in SA is 1000 times better than here
SA is also one of the most unequal countries in the world where stupendous wealth sits side by side with excruciating poverty. I our visit to Cape Town and some colleagues decided to take the train to Pretoria. When they came back one of them was saying they ed areas that resemble Ajegunle, if not worse. I was in Durban on another trip and from the 8th floor of an office complex I could see what looked like a shanty settlement in the middle of the city surrounded by beautiful skyscrapers. Despite the contradictions and inequality, though, SA is the most industrialised country on the continent and the whites invested heavily in infrastructure during the apartheid era. Hopefully, black South Africans would be better enlightened and shorn xenophobic tendencies.

True that, but we really should focus on fighting it and not on what other countries are doing

German automaker BMW’s circular office in Midrand, Johannesburg, won a 5-star rating for its environmentally friendly features.

BMW, which also owns Mini and Rolls-Royce, moved into its South African headquarters in Midrand in 2015.

The iconic building is located next to Pretoria Main Road and off the N1 Highway. It is close to Grand Central Airport and the Midrand stop on the Gautrain.

About 600 associates work in the building, with diverse fields including marketing, human resources, business strategy, and example sales for the BMW brand, Mini and BMW Motorcycle.

The main building in Midrand is part of an “open campus,” which also includes the offices of the Financial Services section and the on-site training centre.

The group’s website states, “Our uniquely designed atrium garden invites you to take a moment of relaxation and reload your energy. “

The Green Building Council of South Africa awarded the building a 5-star rating in 2015 for its environmentally friendly features.

The rating made BMW South Africa the first automotive company in South Africa to receive the rating.

The rating considered the indoor environment quality, energy, transport, water, materials, land use, ecology, emissions, and innovations.

Variables that added to Midrand HQ’s GBCSA 5-star rating included:

Glass and solar-controlled louvres installed within the internal façade of the building, enabling enhanced daylight and thermal comfort.

90% of the office’s usable area now has an external view, providing good levels of daylight for occupants.

The peak electrical demand on the building was reduced by 30%, which included an extensive use of LED lighting throughout the building.

5% of the parking bays are now dedicated to alternative fuel and hybrid vehicles, while 5% are reserved for motorbikes, mopeds and scooters.

Water-efficient sanitary fittings were installed throughout the building.

Water meters were installed for all major water uses and connected to a Building Management System to proper facility management of water consumption.

A dedicated storage area was provided for waste recycling,

All topsoil impacted by the construction was separated and protected from degradation, erosion, or mixing with fill or waste, and it still remains onsite.

In addition to its Midrand headquarters, BMW has a manufacturing plant in Rosslyn, Pretoria, and an IT hub in Menlyn, Pretoria.
Stop using Nigerias forum to chase clouth of division and discord among her people. You should rather give this info to SA people in your local forum. I know what your intentions are Anytime you visit nairaland. Not all the people can be supid all the time.
Do well and inform your country people about your info. Millions in soweto and across SA doesnt know something like this bmw building exist in their country.

FDI at its peak! One of the things we lack in Nigeria is Foreign Direct Investment, despite our population and believe that we are a giant in Africa.

You seriously don't understand Nigeria. Our leadership is a cancer. They are there only for themselves, family, and friends. They are very happy that we have crude oil and they can always steal from there. When it comes to creating enabling environment for FDI or local businesses, there don't care. But if it's about rigging election or fighting because anything happens to crude oil, they'll show up.

They don't care about security in the country. They don't care about electricity. They don't care about good roads. They don't care about stabilizing the naira. And the international community knows all of things that we face. So, tell me how they'll come to invest here? So, they spend all their money fueling generators? Struggling with insecurity and exchange issues? You know something? They'll never solve the insecurity challenges because they are the ones fueling it.

Certainly, Nigeria is not ready for development.
