This is 2026!
You are moaning over a 2004 Nissan murano. Do you know how many other Nissan products is out there?

SmartPolician:
Believe it or not, Nigeria isn't destined for greatness! This country is too disjointed, ignorant and tribalist to work as one unit. This explains why we produce these kinds of inept leaders over 2 decades later.

Stop playing!

Don’t be carried away !
People leave the united kingdom to go for teeth polishing and dental realignment in Turkey every day.

That doesn’t make the UK any less than Turkey

Note that both Coventry City and Hull City are newly promoted to the Premier League. The clubs have both spent apple times in the EFL before their promotions.

Coventry City last played in the Premiership 25 years ago, while Hull City was last promoted 13 years ago.

Quite some space apart, together

Today, Coventry City Football Club will be playing host to Hull City at The CBS Arena 3:00PM.

Previously, Coventry lost its Premier league debut game to Arsenal FC (0:3), when hosting Hull triumphed Manchester United (2:0); notwithstanding, hopes are high this afternoon that redemption is ahead and the skies are BLUE for today's host.

Good luck !!!

Arsenal will win by a landslide

Shior

So, did the land slide?

Better to find the correct person and prosecute

If we had scored 3 clear goals within regular time, we won’t bother who the referee was!

When has rescuing people from kidnappers become the task for sitting governors. Police and other security agencies are already involved in the rescue.

You might suggest the governor should stop eating and stop breathing until the victim is rescued.

You didn’t recognise your son just after 7years?
Is that for real?

The taxman is coming!

Nigeria do not need their ratings. They should face their front

O beta.

How many miles per hour must my words be before I can post them here

Giftedhand47:
Mr Seun is an atheist and doesn't believe in God
His Mom and dad are devoted Christians

My bad. I didn’t get that memo.

It is then very possible that Seun could be related to this couple

But is the person presenting this programme related to Seun osewa of Nairaland.

Because seun is a Muslim and these couple here appear to be Christians.

Kudos to the team and congratulations to the proposed attendees

Ignorance on full display here. Go back to school. Education is not scam

What do you know ?

There are different methods of evaluating the GDP.

One road does not get to the market

chidiokay:
You should be covering your eye in shame, since when is GDP measured by bank transactions

must you guyz defend failure, on top 30k wage una dey collect

The correlation between a country’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and transactions recorded through formal banking channels is generally positive, but the strength of that correlation can vary widely depending on the country’s level of economic development, financial inclusion, and the size of its informal economy.



🔍 Understanding the Relationship

✅ 1. GDP and Banking Transactions:

* GDP measures the total value of goods and services produced in a country.
* Banking transactions reflect recorded economic activities—such as wages, sales, and investments—that flow through formal financial systems (banks, mobile money, etc.).

Since most formal economic activities (e.g., corporate sales, wages, taxes) are transacted through banks, a strong banking system typically reflects higher and more traceable GDP.



📈 When the Correlation is Strong

In developed economies:

* Most transactions go through banks (e.g., salaries, purchases, taxes).
* Informal economic activity is low.
* Result: High correlation between GDP and banking transactions.


📉 When the Correlation is Weaker

In developing or informal economies:

* Large segments of the population may be unbanked.
* Cash-based or barter transactions dominate local markets.
* Many economic activities (like street vendors, informal labor) are not captured by banks.
* Result: Weaker correlation between GDP and banking transactions, and GDP may be underestimated.

💡 Implications

* Underbanking can distort official GDP figures.
* Expanding financial inclusion (e.g., mobile banking) improves GDP measurement accuracy.
* Policymakers and analysts should consider banking penetration when evaluating economic performance using GDP.

Breaker001:
...and Burkina Faso is better placed than Nigeria on this scale, yet some of our people will jump at the slightest opportunity to discredit what Capt Ibrahim Traore is doing with his people.

Even Togo, Uganda and Benin republic are all rated better than Nigeria.

Wonders shall never end

Its official!!

No country in Europe was mentioned in the list.

None is poor

bionixs:
No, you are very rich.
Your mates are doing great things outside this clime and you are here mentioning oyimbo are eternally okay.

Those white hairs springing up on your head cannot be reversed o

That was quick, but I changed my choice of words tho

Like if you think Peter Obi would have done the economy better

Share if you trust President Bola Tinubu is making the economy better

Are we that poor or it is just a perception of the analyst.

Many trades and transactions never made it to the bank, so those transactions were never measured

Hopefully, the world is not getting to witness another whole scale war

Nice step in the right direction.

You can’t get it wrong with a great team

So they want to see what applicants are hiding under our sleeves

Na so so visit without real work seen to be done by our political leaders. They make their visits meaningless to these volatile places.
Once PBAT returns to Abuja, hostilities are most likely to recommence

If he has not spend big money, the recognition wouldn’t have come. That’s how those people roll.

I was thinking the reason would be that we can now refine our oil petroleum needs locally and no longer need dem longer throats.

See what Tinubu has caused now. An exconvict is now chiding him

helinues:
Davido is becoming a nuisance. He doesn't know how to address issue maturely

You can’t be more matured than how he apologised to his dan and assured them of his respect. 3weeks advance notice is enough respect, imo.

LongT:
the 'meatflix' really got me. If such amount could be used judiciously, then expect your bulls, goat and chickens industrial revolution.

Truest! Only if the whole money is well planned and disbursed for the purpose
