That's not a compliment. It's simply saying the obvious and it's not even something to be proud of, as it's just on paper. No effect on the life of the citizens. |

This is a major compliment and indeed something to be very proud of because it is a reflection of our GDP growth which shows ordinary Nigerians are increasingly more productive in our economic activities (especially since oil contribution to GDP has been steadily falling) and our population/market size is not for nothing. Of course if you're a lazy, unproductive complainant of a citizen that contributes nothing through production of value, you will not see it as a compliment but an indictment. Don't be like the other ignorant person above that called an international compliment "self acclaimed". |

Largest economy with all the worst indices of economic development? Who are the investors coming into this nation @ present with the widespread deteriorating insecurity? How can Nigeria be the investors destination of choice @ present?
How much is the naira to dollar.CBN that is deficient of dollar in circulation thereby causing forex scarcity? What about the ban on cryptocurrency which seems to be the latest innovation in the economic market? Giant for nothing. |
