CommonSense1967:But why did it reach the highest in the history of Nigeria during GEJ PDP regime and began to rapidly decline immediately APC violently seize power through the ballot under the supervision of INEC since 2015 to this moment as we speak? What changed? |

VeeVeeMyLuv:Go and calculate Nigeria's percipita under JOnna, they will be about the same as right now. You are mixing GDP with per capita, 2 different things. |

Putinofrussia:USA is rich but bot the richest country in the world. Those countries with greater GDP per capita are richer. Gdp is like income without considering profits. Gdp per capita is profits. So UK is richer than china despite having lower GDP. Mind you you must not be rich to enjoy a good standard of life. China being poor still have high of living. |
| Re: Nigeria Not Among Top 15 Richest African Countries (picture) by princemaths: 4:03pm On Nov 09, 2024 |
drstranged:but the higher the population the higher the overall gdp. Population is correlated with Gdp. That's why gdp per capita is the best way of measuring wealth. It measures how much each person is entitled to either from earnings or govt benefits. And In Nigeria case it's too low. Less than $100 per month for each person. What a stinking poor country! |
| Re: Nigeria Not Among Top 15 Richest African Countries (picture) by princemaths: 4:08pm On Nov 09, 2024 |
CommonSense1967:lies Nigeria gdp per capita was highest in 2014 at almost $4k now it's less than $1000. And now we're ranked below Ethiopia, Ghana, Angola. |

That shows you that our government are lazy. There are alot of resources we can leverage on, which will bring profits for us. You are trying to blame it on the population instead of blaming our useless government! CommonSense1967: |

Love800:"Your government "? Don't you know that your government is a representation of your population? You talk about your government as if they are imported from another land. Is your government not made up of people from your village, towns and cities in Nigeria? I bet you know one or two people in the government. Government is not just thr federal government, government is made up of local, state and federal government. It's made up of police, clerks, civil servants judges, and so on. So when you talk about your government, you are also talking about yourself. Your government is a microcosm of what you are. Have a good day. |

Believeintruth:Aguiyi-Ironsi is the first military leader of the country and he is the one who fundamentally shaped the country in ways that altered the trajectory of the country. I am not blaming him for the coup but I am blaming him for what happened after. After the coup plotters had overthrown a democratically elected govt, he could have done the next best thing and immediately returned control of the govt (or what was left of it) back to parliament and followed the chain of command after arresting the coup plotters but he decided to take charge of the country and become head of state. After he became the de facto leader he could have called for elections but he didn't. He decided to remain in office and fundamentally change the country by making it a unitary state instead of leaving it the way it was; a decentralized state where region's had a lot of power and where everyone was allowed to sort of develop at their own pace. The major reason why Nigeria has failed to develop. What was even worse about that military intervention or military rule is the chain of events it set off like the counter coups and the country being dominated by military leaders for the next decades. The decisions this leaders made was considerably worse than what the current President is making. For example, like the decision to get rid of the missionaries and since those mission schools - some thing Nigeria's education has not recovered from till today or the crude indigenization of the economy that precipitated capital flight from the economy or one of the big issues of our economy today, subsidies. Subsidies was started by the military govt. It was supposed to be temporary but they made it a main stay of the Nigerian economy even though it made no economic sense and it was wrecking our balance sheet to the point that we were spending more money on it than health on education. Smart countries with natural resources leave the exploration and refining to the private sector. They can allow foreign companies to come extract the resources but they make sure those countries REFINE in their country so as to create jobs. But guess what the military regime did? they decided to keep feeding the child ice cream until the child became unhealthy and now that the child has grown up to become an unhealthy adult, they decided to stop feeding the adult anymore ice cream. Now imagine the tantrums the adult whose system is already too used to ice cream would start throwing? That's what is happening right now to the Nigerian economy. This is a country that has been blowing money on wrong economic policies like subsidies and artificially propping up its currency: a process that requires you to blow through your reserves. Another horrendous economic policy that was popular with the masses but was woefully short sighted and not sound economically. Now that we have a President who has the guts to do the right thing no matter how painful, I recognize that because that's what leadership is. Its about making the tough choices that others have refused to make even if you know it's going to cost you votes. Anyone can make decisions that are popular with the masses but it takes a REAL leader to make decisions that others are afraid to make but is right for the country but very unpopular thats what courage and toughness is. Afterall the popular choice is not always the best choice. So I give Tinubu the credit for focussing of the long run. |

Believeintruth:Bros cool down with the lie, Anambra is NOT in first ten when we are talking about GDP per CAPITAL. Anambra state is around 13 or below. Before the Monday sit at home they are no way near the top 10 in Nigeria. Abia state is even ahead of Anambra state. Don't overrate that state please just check the available statistics.

electromide05:Oga go and check and stop being stupid. The Latest GDP shows Anambra and Imo among the Top 10. Ondo is not even in the top 10, as Anambra's GDP is higher than Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Osun and Ekiti. Fear God and stop lying here. https://www.legit.ng/nigeria/1590877-lagos-rivers-lead-full-list-top-nigerian-states-largest-gdp-emerges/ Top States in Nigeria by GDP 1. Lagos: N41.17trn 2.

Believeintruth:Ignorance is very bad. As in you would think you are making sense without knowing that the opposite is the case. Now let me explain something's to you. GDP of state is the total output of that state but if you want to know how wealthy the state is, you divide the GDP by the estimated population of that state. That is called GDP PER CAPITAL. For instance, Case1: 10 people produce 50,000 naira; Case2: another 5 people produce 50,000 naira. Case2 is reacher than case1 because only 5 of them produce what 10 people produce in case1. If you look at GDP in Nigeria, it is in first 5 in Africa but we are one of the poorest because the money cannot cater for the available population. There are many statistics online. Check GDP PER CAPITAL INCOME OF STATES IN NIGERIA. Anambra state is NOT in first 10. Make sure you check the column for GDP PER CAPITAL. It is 1. Lagos state 2. Bayelsa state And so on...... |

electromide05:Oga stop trying to console yourself. ANAMBRA GDP is higher than Ondo, Ogun, Oyo, Osun and Ekiti. If it is too much open you tube and watch 1000ways to die. GDP is an indicator of productivity and the effectiveness of wealth distribution. |
