What kind of news is this? Nigeria has always been number one since 2014 and up till now she has not given up the position. GDP is calculated annually. Can anyone provide me the GDP statistics of a year between 2014 and now where South Africa returned to number one? Why is everybody here reacting to this news as if we are just taking the position of number one. Are Nigerians not up to date again? How can we be talking about something that does not exist? Nigeria has always been number one in terms of largest GDP and no country up till now has been able to challenge it since 2014... not even 2 yes ago when we were in recession on the continent. Let's not encourage this kind of news. It's shows we don't understand the economic world and we are not well informed

Nigeria's economy nko? Who told you that when Nigeria's economy slums it's permanent. Drop in global oil price affects all oil producing countries and there's nothing Buhari or any other president could do. That Nigeria is the largest economy in sub Saharan Africa is something to appreciate and celebrate rather than fall into willing mode

Great igbo that can't fight successfully for it own freedom something black Sudan, Eritrea and many other smaller country did. Your entire tribe need to commit suicide out of shame instead of boasting or bragging over failure.

Igbo hating Buhari is no news considering your forefathers inherited sorrow of wail from claim by the same igbo that you are hated by Ikwerre Hausa Kanuri Fulani Yoruba South Africans Malaysian Singaporeans Indians Arabs Chinese Mongolian Ghanaian Togolese n several others.

A common trait among Igbo is being nurtured from the womb by bigoted parents with irredeemable hate, acute bigotry n extreme foolishness so no surprises from where you are coming from.



What do you mean by we the great Igbos can't fight successfully for our own freedom??
We the great Igbos fought the world for 3yrs and that is something your tribe cannot do. Instead of you to hail and praise my tribe for job well done, you're here yapping out of hate and jealousy.

I don't blame you because the kind of hate and bile your tribe exhibits on Igbos is not of this world. You people are being nurtured from the womb by bigoted parents to irredeemable hate, tribalism, double standards, lies, propaganda, Hypocrisy, acute mental imbalance and jealousy.

The Russia n Iran are still fighting against the rebels in Syria yet over 10 years they have not been conquered. Yet one foolish tribe that was beaten blue-black within less than 3 years with over 4-5 million death without achieving the independence it fought is celebrating it failure. Na sledge hammer dem suppose use flog your foolish head.

Point of correction, the Russia and Iran is just two countries. The case of the rebels Russia and Iran is fighting is different from that of biafra.

Biafra fought the world for three whole years with nothing. Your tribe couldn't even win dahomey pregnant women in a war during oyo empire let alone fighting a world war.

Are you not ashamed that Nigeria with at least 100 million people is being compared with South Africa with one-third of its population?

Rossinnki:


Mehn, but we carry weight for this continent sha.. smiley

Dammit. grin

In fact, looking at the above statement, one might as well say that without Nigeria, there is nothing like Africa.

Yet some idiots want to split up this country into little, inconsequential Liberias. When you sneeze nobody will notice.

Rubbish.

Thank you my brother. I'm Biafra - Africa Died!

saaron:
If Biafra were independent nation from 1966 to date, the country will be dragging economic might with Asian tigers like China, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia etc, not South Africa. Biafra would have launch Africa positively on the world map as a black economy powerhouse. A people that could organized themselves to manufacture Amoured tanks and spectacular weapons from scratch to hold Nigeria for 3 good years to the amazement of America and Europe shows the ability and ingenuity of Biafrans. Biafra would have join the like of America and Russia as major arms suppliers in the world!
Now imagine them channeling that same energy and spirit to develop their country economically? The black race would have gain more respect today. But because of the virus of One Nigeria, that reality was dashed - (but not forever, Biafra will raise again).
Nigeria is nothing but a glorified village. A country cursed with mediocrity, terrorism, quota system, and the ''Put them down Syndrome.''
Nigeria can't even boast of a world class city. Countries like Ivory Coast have better and well developed cities than Nigeria.
The fact that the God forsaken country is even struggling economically with South Africa is a big shame because Nigeria's economy was on the same level with South Korea in 1960. Today South Korea is not only competing with China, the country has world class companies competing with the likes of Apple and General Mottors of America! And we here celebrating mediocrity. What's the benefit of being Africa's largest economy when we can't even manufacture pencils? Does Nigeria have a functional steel company? How can Nigeria become an industrial manufacturing hub when common Abeokuta steel complex is in shambles? Nigeria is nothing but a failed state!
South Africa's economy, as it is even in recession is still by far more robust and developed in manufacturing, service industry, commerce, power, infrastructure than Nigeria. Remove crude oil from the country's economy and Nigeria will disappear from the world map!
Total division of Nigeria is the only way out of this perennial economic calamity that is Nigeria.

S.A. is a mess. Nigeria becoming no.1 has nothing to do with Buhari abeg. 0.5kg package I sent to that country by courier they charged the receiver import duty and all manner of nonsense tariffs. Owu day blow them shege.

The ANC has really ruined that country since they got independence. The party has served its purpose in leading the fight for freedom. There needs to be a shift before things get too bad

Nigerians are totally horrible. How people will stay and be so unpatriotic baffles me. You wish the country in which you live bad. Is that not a psychiatric disorder. I was travelling by road yesterday and I was all smiles as I drove on the enugu/PH road being worked on by this government. God will continue to bless buhari.

Many Nigerians are sadists who actually desire ill for the nation just so they can do what they love doing - blaming govt. That blaming they do fills a psychological need in them to be 'better' than 'the other', which in their case is ''our leaders''. Without being able to do that, many of them would simply not know what to do with themselves.

Your country would not even drag economic might with Somalia...pinning the excuse of the failure of your leaders on their failed attempt at secession is just childish - I think I need to apologize to children worldwide for considering this childish. Your leaders have done nothing to reign in the most important resources of the East - people and time - towards building an East that could grow into a giant powerful enough to challenge Nigeria as a whole...I can guess you will still be complaining about the misdeeds of your leaders as much as you are complaining about the leaders of Nigeria today...well yes, that is all you can possibly do...complain!!!

Nothing to be ashamed of. South Africa began developing at least a century before Nigeria. Unlike in SA, the colonialists came to Nigeria to loot and build nothing. Our first power plant, Kainji Dam, was commissioned in 1964 by Balewa. Our first university, Ibadan, was in 1962. SA has been building all those things, plus engineering factories and industries, from the EARLY 1800s.

The colonialists reinvested export proceeds into the country right from the start because of the large white settler population there who considered it their country. That is why they are ahead of other African nations today.

Still that is no excuse. Rwanda gain independence after Nigeria, same with Kenya.

Nigerians have refused to tell themselves the truth about their country and the way forward.

The biggest problem here is that the population is exploding at 3% per annum without any effort to diversify away from crude or reduce the population to reflect our economic reality.

I don't consider what we are expressing as steady progress, more people are sliding into poverty annually. Agriculture and small scale industries which should be engine of growth is seriously ampere by current insecurity and economic policies of the government.

We the citizens also have a role to play, by investing more into our small scale, agro processing and small scale mining. We also need to reduce our birth rate considerably and our taste for foreign goods.

I agree with you, we definitely need to do more.
