Politics › Buhari To Visit Imo Thursday! by NwaNimo1(op): 8:48pm On Sep 04, 2021
President Muhammadu Buhari will pay a one day visit to Imo State on Thursday.

The state Governor, Hope Uzodinma, disclosed this to journalists at the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Owerri, on Saturday.

The governor met the President at the State House, Abuja, on Friday.

He said President Buhari would commission some “significant projects” executed by his administration.

Uzodinma added that he was in Abuja to demand the Federal Government’s assistance on the World Bank programmes on rural roads, ecological programmes, the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management (NEWMAP) projects and other erosion control issues.

The governor said: “While in Abuja, I secured approval for President Muhammadu Buhari to visit Imo on Thursday, September 9, to commission some significant projects put together by the Shared Prosperity Administration.

“More to that, Imo has been able to attract additional support from Mr. President on management of some ecological problems in the state.”

On his assignment as the Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Council for the Anambra governorship election, Uzodinma acknowledged the importance of the responsibility thrust on him by the party.

He urged the people of Anambra and the South-East in general to align with APC.

Politics › Ndume: Insurgents Who Surrendered Will Be Useful To Security Agencies by NwaNimo1(op): 11:44pm On Sep 03, 2021
Senator Ali Ndume (Borno South) says repentant insurgents will be useful to security agencies.

Ndume said this while responding to questions from State House reporters after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to him, the surrendered insurgents will be useful to the security agencies through the provision of needed information that can lead to the end of the insurgency in the North-East.

The lawmaker representing Borno South Senatorial District in the Senate, however, said those surrendering should be handled in line with national and international laws.

“In as much as we welcome the surrender of Boko Haram, it is necessary we follow due process. It is time to apply carrot and stick approach. You can surrender and be processed and investigated accordingly.”

“We sat down last week as stakeholders in Borno over the matter. My governor is already here with resolutions of the meeting. My position has not changed.

“They should be given the window to come in and be processed. Some of them are bold to own up. They will be useful to provide information to security agencies.

“But the victims need to be carried along. More attention should be given to the victims before coming to perpetrators.

“Those that surrendered are also victims. Some of them were converted to slaves. They do menial jobs for them. You have to find out whether they are members of Boko Haram or victims of Boko Haram.”

Politics › Top 10 Countries In Africa By GDP Per Capita, Nigeria Ranks 17th by NwaNimo1(op):
The world economy was disrupted in 2020, due to the outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic, which brought economic activities to a halt in most countries, with Africa not exempted from the downturn.

In 2020, a number of African countries fell into economic recession including Nigeria, however, the list of top economies per capita, remains fairly unchanged compared to the previous year.

According to data obtained from the World Bank, the Sub-Saharan African economy declined by 2.45% in 2020 from $1.85 trillion recorded in 2019 to $1.81 trillion. Also, the middle East and North Africa region recorded a 3.66% contraction in its economy to an aggregate of $3.37 trillion.

With the need to constantly monitor the performance of the world economies in relation to Nigeria, Nairametrics analyses the top economies on the African continent based on their GDP per capita in 2020 and their performance year-to-date based on available data.

Here are the top 6.

South Africa – $5,090.72
Position – 6th

South Africa is the second-largest economy in Africa, second only to Nigeria with an estimated population of over 59.3 million people. It boasts of a GDP per capita of $5,090.72 to stand in sixth position. The country’s GDP per capita declined by 15.8% from $6,001.4 recorded in the preceding year.

This implies that an average individual in South Africa recorded an estimated output of $5,090.72 in 2020. Meanwhile, the country’s GDP grew by 1.1% in real terms in the first quarter of 2021.

According to the statistics department of the Republic of South Africa (STATSSA) the finance, mining and trade industries were the main drivers of output on the production (supply) side of the economy, while household spending and changes in inventories helped spur growth on the expenditure (demand) side.


Botswana – $6,710.99
Position – 5th

Botswana, a country in the centre of Southern Africa with a population of 2.35 million people, recorded the fifth highest GDP per Capita in Africa at $6,710.99. The country’s GDP in 2020 stood at $17.18 billion, representing a 7.89% decline compared to $18.65 billion recorded in the previous year.

In the same vein, its GDP per capita recorded a 15.8% decline from an aggregate of $7,970 printed in 2019.

Meanwhile, reports indicate that on an annual basis, Botswana’s real GDP growth continued to worsen as a result of the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. Real GDP contracted by 8.6% year-on-year in Q1 2021.

Gabon – $7,005.88
Position – 4th

Gabon, a country on the west coast of Africa boasts of being the fourth highest economy in Africa based on GDP per individual with $7,005.88 and an estimated population of 2.23 million people based on data obtained from the World Bank.

The latest figure represents a 9.8% decline when compared to $7,767.02 recorded in the previous year, having recorded a 1.32% contraction in GDP value to stand at $19.67 billion.

The decline is in tandem with the downturn recorded by most economies of the world, as a result of the covid-19 pandemic.

Equatorial Guinea – $7,143.24
Position – 3rd

Equatorial Guinea recorded a GDP per capita of $7,143.24 in 2021, representing the third highest on the African continent in the review period.

The country’s GDP per capita declined by 15.2% compared to $8,419.93 recorded in the preceding year as a result of the 4.89% decline in the aggregate GDP. Its GDP stood at $11.88 billion in the period under review.

Equatorial Guinea is a small country on the west coast of the African continent with an estimated population size of 1.4 million people.

Mauritius – $8,622.68
Position – 2nd

Second on the list is Mauritius, with an estimated GDP per capita of $8,622.68. This is 22.3% lower than $11,097.59 recorded in 2019.

Mauritius is a subtropical island country in the Indian Ocean, just over 1,130 kilometres east of Madagascar, off the south-eastern coast of Africa.

Its aggregate GDP in 2021 stood at $11.74 billion, representing 14.87% decline compared to $13.79 billion recorded in 2019.

Seychelles – $11,425.09
Position – 1st

Seychelles is a country located in the Indian Ocean which, between 480 and 1,600 km from the east coast of Africa. It has an estimated population of 98,462, one of the lowest on the African continent. Its GDP per capita in 2020 stood at $11,425.09, representing the highest recorded in Africa in the period.

Its GDP per capita recorded a significant decline of 29.5% from $16,198.52 recorded in 2019 to $11,425.09 in 2020. This is as a result of the 10.72% decline in the aggregate GDP in the period. The country’s GDP stood at $1.24 billion in the review period.

However, Fitch has forecasted that the country’s GDP will rebound by a 5% growth in 2021, driven by a robust resumption of tourist activities, favourable base effects, and supported by expansionary fiscal and monetary policies.

Bubbling under
Namibia – $4,211.05
Libya – $3,699.23
Egypt – $3,547.87
Eswatini – $3,415.46

Nigeria ranks 17th in Africa despite its economic value undecided
Nigeria, the ‘giant of Africa’ and the most populous country in the region with over 200 million people residing in the country according to World Bank estimates, boasts of being the largest economy on the continent with an aggregate GDP of $468.6 billion.

Nigeria’s GDP per capita stood at $2,097.09 in 2020 to rank 17th on the list of African countries, representing a 6% decline compared to $2,229.86 recorded in the previous year. Despite, recording the highest aggregate GDP, it is no surprise that Nigeria’s GDP per capita paints a less than stellar picture as the population size is enormous compared to other countries in the region.

Notably, Nigeria’s population of around 206.1 million accounts for about 18% of the entire sub-Saharan African, which in essence affects the per capita output. However, it is no excuse as the country has the human resources and youthful population to spur significant economic growth.

Meanwhile, Nigeria’s real GDP recorded a 5.01% growth in the second quarter of 2021, largely driven by growth in the trade, ICT and electricity sector. It was also spurred by a favourable base period. Recall that in the corresponding period of 2020, Nigeria’s real GDP declined by 6.1% year-on-year.

Note: GDP per capita is an important metric that breaks down a country’s economic output per person and is calculated by dividing the GDP of a country by its population size. cool

Politics › Hunters Raid Niger Community, Kill 47 Bandits by NwaNimo1(op): 6:18pm On Sep 03, 2021
At least 47 bandits terrorising Shiroro communities in Niger State have been killed by local hunters.

The hunters, in a sting-like operation, raided a ‘riverside’ community in Magami between Shiroro and Rafi local government areas on Wednesday and killed the bandits.

According to a news dissemination platform, PRNigeria, the community, which is close to a river, has been used as hideouts by Niger bandits, who also established their camps in the axis.

A police intelligence officer, who asked not to be mentioned, confirmed that several bandits also fled with gunshot wounds, aside those killed.

“I can tell you for a fact that the bandits met their waterloo. At least 47 of them were eliminated by the hunters who participated in the operation,” he said.

PRNigeria could not confirm if the hunters are part of the recently inaugurated Niger Special Vigilante Corps (NSVC) which was formulated by the police and the state government to streamline the activities of all local security outfits into one special corps.

During the inauguration of the corps in June 2021, Niger State governor, Abubakar Sani Bello, said banditry activities would not intimidate the people or the government as they would not allow bandits to change the style of living of the people.

Sani-Bello had said: “Bandits want to force us to change our way of life in Niger State but we won’t allow them.

“They stopped our children from going to school, they stopped us from travelling on our roads, they stopped farmers from going to the farm and now they are trying to stop from anything, but we will not be intimidated. We will not allow that to happen; we will continue to live our normal lives.”
