“Africa’s Sleeping Giant: Looking into Nigeria”
19th July 2010
Nigeria is a country of exceptionality. Home to more than 150 million people, the West African nation is by far the most populous country on the continent and the 8th largest country in the world.

Quote of 2009: “South Africa is probably the leading economy in the world. No other country of our size and economic ranking has produced as many globally successful Fortune 500 companies as we have. The only comparable country is South Korea. There is a phenomenal ability for South African companies to grow and go global from South Africa. No other comparably sized emerging market has been able to succeed in doing that; not even the Chinese, not even the Indians.”
