Even in our comatose state, we still stand taller, one can only imagine what the case would be when we recover on our feet.

HAH:


USA and China are suppose to be continents not countries, there are state in both countries that are more than Nigeria, my respect goes to Japan, despite it small size it is the third largest economy, largely due to utilization of human resources

kingphilip:


But this also goes to show that we are still better than other than other Africa countries even the ones that people are clamoring to go to

Well said, if we ever lived true to the world's expectation of us, we should be at the minimum, a trillion dollar economy -- and I mean worst case scenario.

Like some commenter pointed out: Lagos pulling Nigeria's weight at the moment.

And with recent developments between Lagos and Ogun states, the GDP combined of both states could well be comfortably challenging for 2nd or 3rd largest economy in Africa in some few years to come.

veekid:
IMF don vindicate Buhari

for this Recession?

Yeye

I don't see any vindication here if you understand what has been reported.

IMF was calculating based on Dec 2015 rates and GDP which was before the recession kicked in and excludes the fall of the naira against the dollar through 2016.

Some of u guys are funny. Why are u happy? When our economy was rebased under d last administration, some of u said we were broke and that it was just on paper, blah, blah...what has changed now? Nothing!! Are u living better now? No!

Nigerian youths are d problem of this country. Kill ignorance before it kills u o....zombies u dey hear?

That's literally the only positive I see here. Nigeria has been Africa's biggest economy for many years now but how exactly has that transcended to the average Nigerian? I'm surprised that there are people celebrating this news, it just goes to show how myopic some Nigerians are.

Emeskhalifa:
for present abi for past

Earth2Metahuman:
when Nigeria economy dips this year, people blame the current government... Now that it has regained its spot, shouldn't we also blame the current governments..

Bein the biggest has always been on paper, people don't take it seriously until PDP fanboys made it campaign strategy for the clueless ineffectual buffoon.

Dollyak:

Yep. I've often wondered at this myself. Why are people offended by the reaction but not the action that caused that reaction? No matter the issue, whether it be poverty, corruption, racism, sexism etc etc; people feel insulted by the reaction. Never the original action that prompted the reaction.

I suppose people feel personally indited, as if they're personally being held to blame. Yet this is so destructive because now instead of discussing a very real, very big issue; we're stuck discussing your feelings and how best to appease them. In the end, not only is that issue still there but in fact, it's probably grown. But no matter, as long as one's feelings are mollified, right?

You need to get over yourself fool. Sacrifice your feelings for the material good of the collective.
