This news adds nothing to the plight of the common man! It is common sense that the countries with the largest populations in Africa should have the biggest economies so we are doing nothing special to have the biggest economy which is just a measure of GDP ONLY. However, what most people don't know is that the GDP is not a real measure of how a country is doing. The real measure is GDP per capita, unemployment numbers, interest rates, balance of trade, GINI index and the current account of the country(excess crude account in our own case). All of these indices are very much on the negative for Nigeria.

I know you just had to be the one behind this bull shit news Egypt has 100m+ population with a GDP per capita higher than Nigeria and you are here boasting with audio stats on largest economy. Bros go and tell your handlers that this propaganda no dey work.

The only news that I want to hear is that fuel is 300n coz that is the only news that will have a positive impact on a common man

Hope this news won't make some people to shit their intestines tonight as good news dey make dem dey purge

How has this good news improved your standard of living?

nedu666:
According to the report Nigerian economy grew by 8% last year. How can an economy grow by 8% and the citizens did not feel the impact.

It's very possible. That is econ growth. A situation whereby certain economic indices like business transactions within a year look positive but doesn't translate to better living standards compared to economic development which is a combination of growth and better living standards

Actually, APC did worse than what they met. Check 2011 and 2014 figures and judge for yourself.

What is the country's GDP per capita? What is it's HDI? These are questions u need to ask

If high GDP doesn't translate to high living standards, seh na low GDP will improve standard of living?

GboyegaD:
When GDP doesn't translate to living standards, it makes no meaning. Biggest economy in Africa is just the sum of total production and the level of poverty we have witnessed is alarming implying the rich are getting richer and the poor much more poorer than we can imagine.

I truly do not see this as a worthy news in our case.

Tinubu fans will flood here soon and say its Tinubu's handwork just like he built lagos.

Very fraudulent and manipulative news, Nigeria became the biggest economy in Africa when the economy was rebased during the Jonathan administration in 2013 and this was achieved as a result of the rapid economic growth rate experienced during the Obasanjo administration.

Largest economy yet citizens are living in bad condition

When Dem talk say make you go learn for school, you go rush go dey do Agbero(awon set owomi da).
It is quite apparent that you do not understand the difference between economic growth and economic development. Nigeria's problem has never been that of economic growth; but guess what, we are not recognized as economically developed, because our standard of living is appalling compared to other countries. That is why Nigeria still has millions of people who are within the poverty bracket.
Try go register for one primary school go learn small. This your 5k per month job whey you dey so as online miscreant no go fit sustain you ooo.
I don talk my own.
Ronu ooo!

Please GDP PPP is the real deal

You better go and buy the flagyl before the pharmaceutical stores would close. Your own running stomach no go be worowo.

bro u get bad mouth...lol

Biggest economy with highest inflation, heaviest taxes,lowest minimum wage, increased cost of fuel,devalued naira...terrible insecurity.

seguno2:


True talk.

What is biggest economy without 24/7 stable electricity that Fashola and APC promised to deliver in six months if the people kick out PDP? The people did their own part but Buhari, Tinubu, Fashola and APC failed to do their own part.

It is well.

Most of them should be ignored because they lack reasoning.

Nigeria's population is too massive. It will not allow GDP per Capita to make sense.

We are confused

When you have a rigger at the healms of affairs, he rig everything to remain relevant.

Rubbish.....!

When you look at the size and population of the people in Nigeria, then you will realize the reason why this GDP is poor. This translates to higher rates of poverty in the country compared to other top African countries

The numbers are shameful when compared to our population.

Who did largest economy help.

Largest economy with the poorest citizens, is the largest economy for Agbado or what?

Na wa o! The whole of African economy is not up to half of Carllfonia’s. The only way Africa can be reckoned with as an economic force is if it unites. But alas! That ain’t gonna happen.

And a huge chunk of the money made year in year out are being stolen

And the people are crying everyday due to hardship inflicted on the people everywhere inch per square metre...

One thing I understand with nigeria is that eg "You will hear someone from afar will say this man is very nice to people but his people around at home are crying for his lack of attention to them". We are good in making people outside see us as a good people while at home we are demons..

Nigeria As best this, best that in Africa just leave your country come to Nigeria and see what's therein and please don't go to those cities you already show on TV oo... Take a tour around and some places and see..

Largest economy but average Nigerians are poor

May God help us so that it can be a true reflection in our economy

But nothing to show for it
