Dear All,

I saw a recent listing by World Bank of countries by GDP-PPP for 2013 released last month (September). I instinctively went down the page to go look for Nigeria at 40s position, where I expected her to be, but to my surprise , she's up there 20th!

Now, the figure is another thing. It's almost a billion (international) dollar! I'm quite confused right now. Can someone with better knowledge explain to me what I'm looking at?... please!

Yes we are getting closer. We hope to be in top 5 by the time GEJ leaves office by 2019.

We are now best in everytin my , economically , GDPcally , even for lying self .
Make i join my own lying lying too
In this country "truth" is not part of us . Let me also assume i don't ve truth in me too .
Mr president should continue till forever,if possible rule after life self . He has giving us at least 20 hour constant and stable electricity in all parts of the country (if only for this achievement self, he has done well, there is need for more shout of GEJ till 2019 by all and sundry), schools are doing fine , no strike ,the standard can compete not only in Africa but Europe and America , students are now trooping in from all over Africa to get standard education, the standard of living is too much oky , can't u see? people are not traveling out again . Go and see the arrival arena/terminal at the airport people are rushing down in millions to be partaker of the nations goodies and national cake. See our roads very smooth, most especially the roads in the east . See our security , u can move to anywhere anytime of the day without fear . Nite culture is now back to our country .unemployment is a thing of the past , we are thinking of how to start giving visa to Ghanaians and other African countries to come help us with our dirty and menial jobs in our factories. Water is everywhere , we are even missing pure water and bottle water. See how corruption has gone away in virtually in all sectors, see the faces of corrupt leaders in prison. Gone are the days we import our own exported crude oil. In fact ,u can see how much we get a liter compare to four years ago. See the diversification of our economy,no more dependency on our oil. Our hospitals are now receiving rich patients on like before when our leaders and big men get treatment and die in foreign hospitals. This man has done magic , he must be from another planet . Pls u can add to these numerous achievements of our president. MR PRESIDENT KEEP DOING IT! We want more of these . GEJ till 2019 .

You are so right! I just viewed it now? Both the world bank and the IMF rated us 20th. But the CIA rated us 30th. Forward ever nigeria. Before 2020, vision 202020 had being realized. Thanks to the transformation agenda of this government and the entrepreneural spirit of my country people. Long live nigeria.

I thank God o.

Trash!
How does this translate to food on d table of the many poor Nigerians? Or how has this translated to good roads, water supply and stable power? A
White-elephant rating, i must say.

That's PPP, Nigeria is the 19th largest economy by PPP. But nominally, it's the 23rd largest.

This is exactly what I call the grasshopper mentality! Been on a spot too long that you don't know when you have been released to move on.

Nigeria had been thrown deep into a deep rut and this man is really climbing out and all you do is open your dirty mouth and talk rubbish on nairaland! God have mercy on some Nigerians who are their own witches and wizards! Biting your own self and crying wolf! Open your eyes, Nigeria is making progress,come with us or remain behind!

We still have lots of work to do for a great microeconomy

D d basic problem we hav in dis country is lack of employment n many more, So all dis nigeria is number dis n dat means nofin to us, even we r tired of hearin nigeria is dis n dat. We want statistic to traslate to result b4 we can actual celebrate nigeria make a certain position in ranking.

That increased font side was epic

i would prefer a developed economy than just a big one. right now Nigeria's economy is big for nothing.

Even with dis rating,Nigeria remains the giANT of Africa.

Dear Nairalnders,

Please help a curious Nigerian, is it possible for economy to grow without economy development( which includes all forms of economical development)?

Because these paper growth we are made to believe on daily bases won't take us anywhere or why do we derive pleasure in telling lies to ourselves, Nigerians?

it's a pity you don't knw the differenc bw economic growth and economic devpt becos u refused to take advantage of the huge transformations going on in the education sector becos of hatred. Economic growth leads to economic devpt with time. Pls get a Jhingan. Silly Broomer.

Big economy that is not reflected in the lives of the people.
