Same thing. You need production at 2.1M this year. So if you were to cut production - that mean your main sector will see struggling. I don't know about SMES - but you'd need to fix a lot - try to formalize your economy - try fix electricity.
Nigeria's main sector is not oil, services contributes more d our economy than oil. Oil is just a major source of foreign revenue.

Every country on earth needs to fix one thing or d other, there's no complete country. We're currently fixing so many thing (check d list of african countries with most ongoing projects) grin

I know they have large car manufacturing industry - not producing and selling 40 cars like nigeria - but anything more than 0.5m units. That is not chicken shiet. A country capable of producing more than half a million cars is ADVANCED.

You cannot have main sector of economy not producing revenues or exports. It simply means you have cooked data. Your economy is OIl. If Oil prices drops - you go into a recession. Why does the service sector not hold. Look at Kenya - we have a well diversified economy - and if 3 or 4 sectors go down - the other will hold steady.

That is Yemi Kale yarn.
"The country's economy has traditionally been dominated by oil and gas production (about 30–40% of pre-rebased GDP), but the rebasing revealed major growth in the services sector—including in telecommunications, banking, Nollywood, and the informal economy (which was previously unaccounted for in official statistics)."

I honestly don't see how telecommunication, banking, nollywood and informal economy(how do they measure it?) which appears to be twice kenya can be that huge.

Re-based GDP has two big lies
1) Agriculture is so over-stated it not even funny. Yemi Kale claims Nigeria has 80B dollars of Agriculture.That is size of Brazil - a well know tropical agricultural giant. How does Yemi Kale collect agriculture data - mostly through guesswork. Nigeria hardly export any food - apart from few cocoa nuts & shrimps.
2) Service sector is also inflated...nollywood & informal sector (how does that even work) smiley.

GDP is the value of goods produced within a country not the value of export. So why are you bringing export into it?

Anyway this is for you. I am done. If after this you still insist on Nigeria's GDP been cooked, well it's your problem, the whole world knows otherwise which is why they invest in our cooked GDP more than your uncooked GDP.

There's a big difference between "manufacturing" and "assembling", we assemble cars here in naija too.

but oil price have been fluctuating since the past two years, why have we not gone into another round of recession?

I think ur understanding of "service" is also flawed.

I honestly don't see how telecommunication, banking, nollywood and informal economy(how do they measure it?) which appears to be twice kenya can be that huge. Kenya services sector is probably worth 60% of GDP - that is around 55B dollars..Nigeria service sector would be 2.5 times that - around 140B.Your agricluture is just overstated. Your manufacturing very puny. And then just add oil & gas industry.

Oil prices improved and your economy improved. If you had diversified from oil - you won't be growing at 1-2% the years oil go into a recession and 10% when it booms like 2014 and before (100 dollars a barrel days).

Ten Invaluable Golf Tips
Bad golf habits are difficult to break. Here's a set of the ten most common faults seen on the golf course, and tips on how to work on overcoming them and perfecting your golf game:
Take enough club to access your target.
Amateurs consistently come up short using their approach shots to the green. Choosing a club {that will get the ball to the green is important, so make sure that you have a club that you could swing at 80 per cent and still arrive at the hole. Save your energy; you have a long life before you!
If you're able to putt the ball, then putt it!
Don't always make use of a lofted club across the greens. Leave this type of shot to the players who are able to handle them, like Phil Mickelson. Good advice is to employ a club that can hit this shot with the best trajectory possible.
Keep your head fairly steady.
You're going to maneuver your head only a little during the swing, especially with the longer clubs. But moving your head an excessive amount can result in a variety of serious swing flaws that make the game extremely tough to play. Have someone watch you to see whether you move your head, or you could watch yourself in the mirror when you take practice swings.
Keep your sense of humor.
If you try everything and they still don’t work out, you should still keep your sense of humor and still survive, or at the very least, you could die laughing.
Bet only that which you are able to afford to lose.
Never bet on your own golf game that which you can't afford to lose. One idea is to always to bet everything in your pocket with the exception of $10, and that is for the gas home.
Keep the ball low in the wind.
Once the wind starts to pick up, play the ball back in your stance, put both your hands in front of the ball, and keep them ahead whenever you make contact. So, remember to keep the ball as low as you are able to, and you can manage your game a lot more efficiently. You most likely won't lose as many golf balls, either.
Take some golf lessons.
If you truly wish to have fun playing this game, you should start out with a couple of lessons to get you on the right track and, needless to say, read Golf For Dummies in its entirety. It's amazing what you are able to do with a clear concept in your mind of steps to make a golf swing.
Do not give lessons to your spouse.
This may sound funny, but of course, there is a reason why. Giving golf lessons to your partner can be a federal offence. Don't do it! Doing this can only just result in a disaster. Invest some money in lessons. Get good instruction and reap the benefits, and this is your peace of mind.
Always tee it up at the tee boxes.
Whenever it is legal (that is, in the teeing area), you should tee the ball up. This game is more enjoyable once the ball is in the air.
Never blame yourself for a bad shot.
Give yourself a break! Golfing is hard enough without blaming everything on yourself. Find creative methods to blame something different, such as the magnetic force field from alien spacecraft. Let your mind go and observe how crazy your excuses can be. Keep your sanity!

How To Choose The Best Golf Clubs For Starters
An entire set of golf clubs contains a maximum of 14 clubs, and it consists of: a driver, fairway woods, irons, hybrid clubs, wedges, sand wedge and a putter. Below are some useful information about what to find in each type of club.
The Driver
The driver is the largest and the longest club in a golf set. The driver features a steep face, usually this falls between 7.5 to 13 degrees, and it is usually only used off a tee. Generally, a driver has a long graphite shaft to lessen its weight and raise the club head speed. Head sizes for drivers may differ but the biggest is 460cc. As a starter it is recommended that you obtain a driver with a loft ranging between 10 and 11 degrees and a head size between 450 and 460 cc. A graphite shaft is also an absolute must have!
Fairway Woods
Fairway woods usually range from the 3 wood to a 7, as well as 9 wood. The loft for a 3W is generally between 12 and 17 degrees. Some sets also add a 5-wood with a loft between 18 and 23 degrees. Fairway woods could be hit off the tee and as you can see by its name, on the fairway too. The majority of the fairway woods have large heads which are quite just like the driver, but they are shallower and they also boast of having a lesser sweet spot, pointing towards the bottom of the club. Graphite shafts may also be desirable in your fairway woods.
Irons
In a typical golf club set, you will discover irons which range from 1 to 9, but most sets have irons which range from 3 to 9. A 3, 4 and 5 iron are generally very difficult to hit, particularly if you really are a beginner. The reason of this being the only of those clubs are narrower compared to the higher irons, which makes it hard to get under the ball. The golf industry has solved this dilemma with the introduction of hybrids, which replace lower number irons. Irons vary in loft from the lower irons in the late teens to the higher irons which may have loft as high as 50 degrees. Irons are made to assist you to slice through thick lies due to their narrow sole and higher lofts, in comparison to woods. Normally, irons are played off the ground (fairway or rough), however; when it comes to that of par 3s, players can make use of a tee to make it easier so as to get under the ball. The most effective irons for novices have a sizable offset of the club face from the shaft. What this means is the club face is placed back off the shaft and helps starter players get under the ball easily. It's also wise to choose a wide sole and dispersed weighting system to boost} the sweet spot.

I just found out that cellulant, one of Kenya's most valuable indigenous company is co-founded by a Nigerian. Imagine that!
That one? grin We uncovered that shi.t a long time ago.Cellulant was started by a Nigerian and a Kenyan. Even ihub, their equivalent of our cchub was started by a foreigner. Their only car company, Möbius, their equivalent of our Innoson was started by a Briton. Mpesa is British, Sportpesa was started by foreigners, Kilimall, their equivalent of our jumia and konga was started by a Chinese.Even Nairobi and Mombasa were started by foreigners. You might want to go back like a thousand pages to see how much we have exposed the lack of originality and ingenuity on the part of these Kenyans. Why do you think we call them Little Indians? grin They are as fake as a 50naira jewelry.
