OreMI22:
Egypt's economy is official bigger than Nigeria's by at least $10 billion dollars.

When Nigeria surpassed South Africa in 2014, it was sensational news carried in all Nigerian newspapers.

Today, when Egypt surpassed Nigeria, not even one newspaper house has bothered to inform Nigerians that our status has become #2 in Africa.

Why was this hidden from all of us?

I almost made a blunder calling Nigeria the biggest economy in Africa in a professional paper and everyone else in the room knew it was EGYPT except me? Why was this critical information hidden from Nigerians??

dukie25:
All the gains that were made by Dr Jonathan are being eroded by present administration.

Vote Buhari again and watch Nigeria slide even further.

Mynd44:
This kind of threads are opened only by people who don't get economics and don't understand the difference between GDP and Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)

proeast:
So, your point is what?? Stop being smart by half please!!

buhariguy:
Op funny oo,
This was 2016 report, when we were in recession.
Nigeria should be in number 15 by now, ahead of Saudi Arabia with their too much oil money.

Meanwhile Nigeria has cross 1.1tr dollar from 430b dollars during your ineffectual buffoon era.

Buhari is really work and the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of Biafra terrorist can not see this achievement of sai buhari till 2023.

OreMI22:


The problem with you people is politicizing everything. Even a serious issue like Nigeria being surpassed by Egypt in size of our economy.

Nigerian economy has NEVER been bigger than Saudi economy.

Egypt surpassed Nigeria since 2016 and the media hid the information from us making us to think that the rebasing of our economy in 2014 to become the biggest in Africa was still the current status.

To surpass Egypt we now have to grow at about 9 - 10% per annum and hope that Egypt grows at 1%.

Sadly, we are the ones growing at <1% since 2016 and Egypt growing robustly at 4-5% since then. So the gap will naturally widen more in a few years and Nigeria can never reclaim the position of Africa's largest economy in this lifetime.

Cjrane2:
Its so sad what has happened to Nigeria's economy since 2015.


Measuring the economic mismanagement through changes in our GDP alone,

In 2014, Nigeria's GDP was $589 billion
In 2017, Nigeria's GDP was $409 billion

We depreciated and lost about $180 billion dollars in GDP size! Yet, nobody talks about it! Everything is politics, while the country is slowly dying from mismanagement!

Someone without secondary school education is ruling Nigeria and we are clapping for him to kill the country.

deltaisgreat:
Buhari Don kill Nigeria completely with his apparent incompetency
