Wat u don't get is even if it grows by 1000% if it doesn't affect the average Nigerian it's means nothing.

American President - Donald Trump explains his statement against Africans:

"If after 50 years of independence you have not built the necessary infrastructure for your people, are you humans?

"If you sit on gold, diamond, oil, manganese, uranium... and your people don't have food, are you humans?

"If to stay in power, you buy weapons from strangers to kill your own citizens, are you humans?

"If your only social project is to stay in power for life, are you being human?

"If you despise and shoot your own citizens like game, who will respect them?"

"if you take all resources meant for development of your country for personal property are you humans?

" if you leave your country healthcare unattended and treat yourself abroad are you humans?

"Until your leaders think less of themselves and more about your people. You are not human but animal.

Ignorant people like you keep propagating this nonsense even though you can't tell where, when and to whom he said it. If NBS had said the GDP dropped, you guys would have celebrated. Annoying bunch of sadists!

miketayo:


Man this is not about supporting one party or the other. I m telling u facts.. it doesn't matter if Ur GDP rises if the citizens of the country r not affected.

I work with d government if u know half of wat I have seen u wont be saying this. From the 70's till now no government has ever given a f*CK about this country or its citizens, I don't know about d 60's, I just laugh at u guys supporting APC or PDP u have no idea how these PPL r taking from u .
I have given up long ago.

Oga sir, if the fed govt had agreed to devalue Nig. Currency, your lots will still call him criminal and evil

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:

I know about the rot in society and how GDP doesn't say much about the economic well being of the typical citizen. The government should be complimented when they ought to be complimented and criticised when need be. The rot in our society is due to the contribution of nigerians both leaders and followers. Government workers are the worst culprits, very disgusting lot (No disrespect for the noble ones who are a measly minority, prone to persecution). We deserve what is bedevilling us. We can only hope for little occasional leaps and not spontaneous significant transformation. We are not working for that, we do not deserve that.

It seems u r not getting me.. the growth in our GDP is useless if it doesn't affect the lives of our people, FYI our leaders haven't done anything to be praised and there is no noble one amongst them.
If u could spend a day where I work u would understand a lil better. I can't explain it but frankly there is zero hope for this country it's not a curse only certain people will understand.
Forget all these Buhari Atiku fights u guys keep having here it's pointless

God bless PMB. Just wanted to say that, hrm, GDP numbers are indicative of how well a country is run and the prospects for opportunities for its youths... to wit:

2011 5.31%
2012 4.21%
2013 5.49%
2014 6.22%
2015 2.79%
2016 -1.58%
2017 -0.82%
2018 1.93%

If we see 5% growth anytime during PMBs second tenure, I would be very surprised (albeit pleasantly).

contigiency:
Not exactly where we should be and start feeling the impact of the present government policies. It is however a positive growth which shows that there is a rallying efforts from the government to sustain the growth trajectory that brought us out of recession. My happiness is that any growth recorded now shows real growths in nominal terms than just rebasing the economy as is being touted by the government.

grandstar:


This is very poor. By now, Nigeria should at least be growing by 6%. 2.01% is not even up to the population growth rate of 2.6% which means the average Nigerian was -0.59% poorer.

Bloomsberg , a financial institution has predicted yearly growth rate in Nigeria over the next 4years will average 2.5% yearly. That means on average over the next 4years, per capita income will decline by -0.1% yearly.

This is a disgrace, no thanks to Buhari's exchange control policies such as the pegged exchange and the multiple exchange rates that operates today. The pegged exchange rate sank the economy into a severe recession by starving it of much needed dollars.

The multiple exchange screams quackery to investors and is a disincentive to invest.The economy can only start a well deserved recovery when Buhari steps down and the bad policies he introduced are done away with

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:

When I said noble, I was referring to government workers of which you form a part. But if you say everyone is corrupt then it's ok. There are good people, but the bad ones overwhelm them. The question we must ask ourselves daily as we criticise our leaders is are contributing our bit to nation building? Because when a country grows, it is because both leaders and followers worked to make it so.

The leaders are bad the People r worse, even if u say u r different you will join dem or u wont even get there. Bro it's hopeless, 60% might have to die for this country to bounce back.
