Fake news.

Economic giant my foot !! Poor roads, dilapidated infrastructure, gross insecurity, frustration, boko haram, no light and the list is endless. Nigeria is a shit hole and we need to change it ASAP.

70% of people are living below the poverty line despite the large economy. It is meaningless and worthless.

There is no benefit of this to the common man.

Until the quality of life for the majority of people is improved, any progress being made is of no value.

Aggrieved Wailer spotted.

No LIGHT,No Road,No Job and we are celebrating African Giant.APC and lies are 5&6

It took South Africa's recession to make Nigerian economy 1st. This does not in anyway indicate progress, cos our economy didn't get any better, South African economy just got bad. In other words, South Africa now have their own Buhari.
Sense will not kill me!

eXACTLY, no progress was made. hence there is nothing to celebrate here

No.... it's due to the downfall of RSA

South Africa goes into recession, thus Nigeria becomes biggest economy without striving to be it, and this govt will not let us hear word. In my small Niece's language and voice "Shame shame, you no dey shame"

Stupid people, the only reason Nigeria is on top is because south Africa is in recession not because there is any development here,anybody With a functioning brain would know the country is moving backwards, but you stupid zombies will not say the truth

we are unconsciously celebrating poverty.

Are they saying congratulations to Buhari that knows what is happening or a statue. Shithole Criminals ruling us to pulp

All of you people praising buhari may the lives of you and your children be s reflection of the current condition of things in this country in Jesus name.

Haha Haha....bunch of jokers!
Was there any time we admitted losing our position?

I call on the Nigerian government to shut down this site Nairaland. It has become a cesspool of people praying for the disintegration of Nigeria. They will never see anything good about their country....NEVER. I thought Nigeria was shit until o visited Ghana.

Nigeria Re-emergence As Africa’s Biggest Economy, An Economic Scorecard of President Buhari Administration - APC

Nigeria's re-emergence as Africa's biggest economy after overtaking South Africa which has entered its second recession in two years, is a rewarding and fitting economic scorecard of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.

This is not a small feat and should be celebrated by all. The All Progressives Congress (APC) congratulates the President, the APC family, and indeed all Nigerians. Those expecting the worst and wishing the country ill-fortune should now give up. The task of developing a nation is a collective one. Politics should not drive Nigeria apart; it should unite us when the interest of our nation is involved.

Since the Nigerian economy exited recession in 2017, the country's economic growth has not been a fluke but a result of deliberate practices and policies of the President Buhari administration that has increased transparency in governance, diversification of the economy away from oil, improved fiscal management, and a healthy protectionist approach which has aided the growth and increased the capacity of domestic producers and in turn created jobs.

The hugely successful anti-corruption efforts such as implementation of a Treasury Single Account that allows the government to better track and manage its resources and a more transparent government payroll and personnel system that eliminated duplication and "ghost workers" has alleviated poverty and made more cash available for critical infrastructure projects. Private sector investment and confidence in the economy is at a record high as a result of government's development of a stronger public-private partnerships for roads, agriculture, and power.

Economic growth is being achieved despite dwindling resources as a result of low oil prices. The fact that we are making commendable progress with all the challenges shows this government is doing the right thing. There is no doubt about the determination of the Buhari government to continue to take the right steps to create jobs, grow the economy, create a secure environment, massively develop our infrastructure and develop our other resources through focused and well reasoned diversification policies.

The APC government is opening up supports in terms of finance, ease of doing business, and other services to enable the release of the latent creative energies of our youths. Our youths should take advantage of the conducive business environment the APC government is creating by investing their time in productive endeavours. They should free themselves from those who had dragged Nigeria down to the cliff edge and are trying to use our youths to create social disharmony. We call on our very enterprising youths to back out of the destructive course the opposition is leading them and join the current journey into prosperity this government is pursuing

Of course, there are still a lot of challenges on the way. The journey is not going to be a walk in the park. That is not unusual, considering the level of decay our nation has sunk into under the watch of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the current efforts of the PDP leaders to slow down our progress as a nation. However, this government, under the capable hand of President Buhari is single-minded and courageous enough to lead our country to the promised land.

I don't understand. Did Nigeria ever slipped to number 2 in terms of largest economy in Africa since we overtook SA in 2014?

SA is in recession so did we two years ago... and even when we went into recession, we were still number 1.

Except may be there was a time SA overtook us after we overtook them in 2014.... Can't process the word "Re-emergence" in line with the aforementioned

Biggest economy based on free oil money ba? Without power what nonsense biggest economy is that

GEJ took Nigeria to that height in 2013/2014 did your demonic APC and zombies agonjas celebrate it as an achievement? Even at a time South Africa was doing well?

Now because there's a Buhari of a kind in South Africa you have the effrontery to insult our collective intelligence.....r u ok at all?

Naija dey like to applaud failures, even it is true it doesn't what celebration south Africa slipped into recessions before Nigeria could caught up with them.if Nigeria had competed with south when she was doing well .we could call it achievements.

Bullshit.

South Africa is undergoing a recession. This is why we became the largest economy once again

Celebrate, what?!
How we forget that we maybe called Big f*¢¥€*
But we're Big
It's a Destiny thing

At least, you know that Nigeria is miserable under Buhari cos the guy you quoted never mentioned that

Africa largest economy, largest population, largest city but poorest people in the world.

The best in Africa, the worst in the World.

Why celebrating when majority could not afford a square meal ?

Hahahahaha I laugh in Swahili

A government that cannot feel the pulse of the people and the great suffering in the land. What a shameful shame.

As a leader it’s important to always surround yourself with people who can tell u the truth, not yes men.

Nigeria’s figures has never added up to the economic reality. It is grand deception.

tell us what is wrong with Ghana

Ghana is “irrelevant when discussing economy?” Are you normal in the head? Ghana is irrelevant when discussing economy, yet it your smelly country’s leading investment destination. Ghana is irrelevant yet your people are rushing to Ghana like pilgrims going to Mecca fuelish mudder fugger

CSTR2:

I agree everything you said except the Ghana input.

Ghana is not a top 8 African economy.
They are irrelevant when discussing economy.
