chineloSA:
China is ahead of Australia and Canada in terms of GDP.
But Australia and Canada are ahead of China in terms of HDI ( Human development Index ).


People in Australia and Canada live a better life, and different standard of living as compared to people in China regardless of the size of the economy oo .

The Economy may have increased in size, but there may have been slight change or no change in HDI

SO ITS POSSIBLE PEOPLE. cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy Be optimistic for once.

eddiebruk: I cannot believe Nigerians enjoy celebrating lies and silly propaganda, this is what Nigerians like, Prophesy, E-lies and Government Unfaithfulness, our mind are the most easy to deceive and this is the result of it, the only thing Nigeria can boast of as being ahead of SA is Population and Landmass , the rest are no match to be compared to with SA. if you like quote me and say rubbish, it is non of my business.
Well said...,
South africa have a bigger landmass than Nigeria. So I guess its only population left for Nigeria!

But South Africa remains the biggest economy in Africa.


Based on the current data, Nigeria is Africa’s largest economy after South Africa, having overtaken Egypt in 2011. The International Monetary Fund puts Nigeria’s GDP this year at $292 billion (R2.8 trillion) and South Africa’s at $354bn.

Nigeria’s economy is growing much faster than South Africa’s: more than 6 percent this year compared with 2 percent. The gap between the two countries has been closing. And economists had forecast earlier that the country would overtake South Africa between 2020 and 2025.

So even as the economy's growing in Nigeria, unemployment is actually growing at the same time, which is the result of the fact that growth is taking place in sectors that are not creating employment. So this is a major, major problem for Nigeria."

A step forward, two steps backward. *Smh*

in prayers you mean?
economy grows by 7.5%, corruption grows by 30%, infrastructural decay grows by 20%.
nepotism further sinks the political structure by another 10%. it is only a fool that will refer to this anomie of existence as a growth.

Why not ask google to tell you the difference between Economic growth and Economic development instead of insulting someone who is very much on point. Nigeria is not overtaking SA in economic development but in economic growth, the two terms are not the same.

Brazil is the 6th largest economy in the world but it is not a developed country.
