NairobiWalker:
Do you know Kenya had the oldest forum in Africa? Do you know when Mashada Forum was closed it was bigger than both Nairaland and Jamii Forums combined?

That is Yemi Kale yarn.
"The country's economy has traditionally been dominated by oil and gas production (about 30–40% of pre-rebased GDP), but the rebasing revealed major growth in the services sector—including in telecommunications, banking, Nollywood, and the informal economy (which was previously unaccounted for in official statistics)."

I honestly don't see how telecommunication, banking, nollywood and informal economy(how do they measure it?) which appears to be twice kenya can be that huge.

Re-based GDP has two big lies
1) Agriculture is so over-stated it not even funny. Yemi Kale claims Nigeria has 80B dollars of Agriculture.That is size of Brazil - a well know tropical agricultural giant. How does Yemi Kale collect agriculture data - mostly through guesswork. Nigeria hardly export any food - apart from few cocoa nuts & shrimps.
2) Service sector is also inflated...nollywood & informal sector (how does that even work) .

tylann:
What about oil

rvp20183:

Algeria, advanced economy do u even know d meaning of advanced economy? Algeria is also an oil based economy, their only advantage is they have lesser population to cater for.

Egypt's economy is i said earlier is a lil bit advanced, cos they're not heavily dependent on importation, they're still dependent on oil and gas exportation nonetheless.

And no, I'm not there's any african country that has eliminated poverty, it just ranges differently for different countries.

theenchanter:
mumu. u lack comprehension skill, just like @jonraid.

Nigeria's debt is in excess of $60b doesnt mean nigeria is owing china $60b, there are many bodies a country borrows money from, not only china. Infact, china doesnt give loans, it has to be through a project their company will execute, i leave that for another day cos i dont expect u to grasp my point.

Nigeria's total debt (federal&states) is $73b, proclaimed to be 21% to gdp ratio.

Not that i expect u to understand but for d benefit of those who may understand.

BEFORE you sign we are allowing all africans free 1 month visa to kenya...but send us criminals and pedophiles ..they will find their match in our police extrajudicial wing. The police will puncture their vests with lead.Open up and ratify africa free trade and travel.It shameful to hear you cry against ghana or benin.Ratify africa free trade and help reduce your incredible poverty..60m plus in absolute poverty..140m plus poor.

RTSC:
Nigeria on the other hand is punching far below it's level.

darfay:
But RIP the Kenyan genius calculated our GDP to be #10 na

Danielnino00:
I wonder why they are making so much fuss about our refusal to sign the deal... They can go ahead and implement it if we are inconsequential in Africa

forgiveness:
Because you don't produce anything.

darfay:
Our English and accent is the most popular and recognizable in Africa due to Nollywood and our music
