Guy, as is typical with these folks, they are 'claiming' it, even without facts and figures to back it up. They are so big that they didn't generate any IGR last year.

GDP doesnt tell the full story. USA has a higher GDP than China but their debts is in the trillions of dollars and they still borrow from China.

Jetleeee:


There was one time the guy was signing MOUs anyhow. I used to rate him then. Until that IGR report exposed his hairy ass

Ashey skama ni Bobo yẹn But mahn...his online propaganda squad are doing one hell of a job

ivolt:


China has a debt of 33 trillion dollars compared to US of 23 trillion dollars.
Debt is not a bad thing if it is expended on capital projects with a positive
ROI in the long run.

Blue3k:
His claim on being forth largest economy comes from CBN source that even said they don't have reliable data. This claim of being fourth largest economy seems more like a meme than anything.

SE of course it should be the fourth.

It's like Obiano wants to join Frank Donga in comedy.

They probably made a mistake and swapped Osun with Ogun. how can ekiti state have a higher GDP than Ogun? which factory do they have in Osun state that is giving them GDP?

MadCow1:


It surely is the richest State in the South East and the most Progressive right now.. But to call it the 4th largest economy means they are ahead of one of the following states;

Lagos
Rivers
Delta
Akwa Ibom
Kaduna
Ogun
Bayelsa

And that will need to be proven beyond reasonable doubt.

Really? bigger than Imo? It was half the GDP of Imo 7 years ago and although Rochas is a clown, it's not that easy to catch up like that in 7 years o.

ruggedized1:
That Bayelsa has oil does not mean they have an economy. I have worked in Bayelsa, there is no economy there, the same thing applies to AK. Oil income does not equate to economy because it is a diminishing asset. I have not been to KD but tell me what is in KD apart from military hardwares?

I can agree with Lagos and Delta and Ogun

Kaduna is Nigeria's poster child for Agricultural revolution from what I gathered.
