South Africans are laughing at Nigerians.They are saying their country is the most industrialised in the African Continent;
Total electricity generation output in Nigeria is 2500 MW population is 170m.South Africa ni 42000 MW population 52m

South Africans laughing at Nigerians is misguided at best. Black South Africans control about 10% of the economy so the GDP per capita for them is about the same as for Kenya i.e. about 1,000 USD while Nigeria GDP per Capita is about 3,000 USD.
In a decade Nigeria will figure out power issues and their growth rates mean that in 20 years their GDP will be multiples of SA. Black South Africans don't own their economy, Nigerians mostly do. That's why the biggest dons in Africa are Nigerian.

One just needs to land in Lagos or any other Naija city to understand that the Oga's GDP/GNP (and all those other metrics) is not mtoto. Most of their shags resembles Umoja estate or any other concrete mess in Nairobi. Ogas consume cement the way rats consume maize.

All Oga kids dream of being entrepreneurs and rarely will you find an Oga Student nurturing ambition of being a county rep or an MCA.Their wasaniis mop real money, not to mention the afro cinema characters.

Furthermore, Oga's spend money. In a recent article Oyunga Pala attested to the fact that when he landed in Lagos for Africa Magic viewers award he realised what we have in Kenya is just mtoto economy and that Naija is a different beast.
