Say that You are dying in Poverty. South Africa doesn't have market for any of our Company you understand, but we have the Market for south Africa company.

Keep deceiving yourself while you eat imported rice, pay %45 import duty, export your own crude oil only to pay higher cost for the foreign refined products. Simply say their Local Market feeds them, while You suffer with all your abundance, instead of you to be humble, you want to claim giant of Africa while still battling the Poverty Headquarters cheesy cheesy cheesy

But we have double the GDP since then. During Rebasing in 2014 it was $550b but it is now over $1 trillion going by this report. That is monumental progress

The report is fake! Yes, Nigeria is the biggest economy in Africa, no doubt. South Africa's economy is bigger than Egypt and Nigeria's economy not up to that amount yet

Illiterate list,

The entire economy of Africa is not more than 2trillion
The image you posted shows the gdp by purchasing power parity (ppp)

Please educate yourself
Below are some screenshot you may need

Actually GDP (PPP) is a better measure of an economy because it takes into account local variations within that economy.

If the OP has credited this to the BBC, then the OP must provide a direct link to the BBC article. That screenshot could be years old or manipulated.

That this is on the front page as the election nears sets a very dangerous precedent. Nairaland cannot allow for this kind of fake news to be glorified on their front page.

Also report that Nigeria is times 4 the population size of SA, so stop busting your bubbles of biggest economy my foot. Imagine if SA has half of the Nigerian Population, Nigeria will look like a province to them. They have major investments in Nigeria, what business can Nigeria boast of in SA...? Nigerians are always quick to compare to console ourselves yet we are dying in poverty


There is hope for Nigeria if someone like this still lives in this zoo...


Or let me ask, are currently out of the zoo? because sensible ones like u are leaving

oga it's a fake news. i have checked all nigerian newspapers and it was not there

Hey babe,

It's not fake. I don't reference Nigerian media for fact. Nigeria media are money driven as opposed to ethical reporting.

I believe, education, Internet on our devices (phones and Laptops) can empower us to seek factual answers. Go on google and see what you can find...google the biggest economy in Africa

You are Banking on one man to revive a whole Economy? Are you also aware that the same man has reported that he’s also selling at OPEC’s Price? You can brag all you want, nobody is arguing who owns what on a faceless forum.

I am not bragging and you are the one assuming everyone got nothing like you, surfering like you and is in poverty like you, Dangote refinery will produce all the Refine Products Nigeria needs and they will also Export Surpluses to other country. You are the one Complaining about How Nigeria is exporting their crude oil bla bla bla, Dangote Refinery is going to be one of the Biggest Refinery in the World and there is no doubt it will boost Nigeria Economy when it start working

This will break heart of the children of hate, the people that hate good news, they hate the little the poor are getting from the government.
They hate Tradermoni
They hate school feeding program
They hate Npower
They hate farmers anchor borrowers
They hate success achieved against Boko Haram
They hate success achieved in rice
They hate success achieved against corruption
They hate fight against ballot box snatchers
They hate to hear farmers-herdsmen truce
They hate one Nigeria

We the good people of Nigeria will show them hate on Saturday.


See how stupidity is blindfolding this one.
Nigeria's economy has been bigger than any other African country even before APC government came in.
No african country has a gdp of upto 600 billion dollars, not to talk of trillion.

Keep fooling yourself with fake news from APC.
Whoever brought this lies to fp is even worse than you are.
