And if it becomes the first again in few years, y'all will scream "FAKE". Never agreeing that many indexes make up the GDP. Y'all think GDP is mere figure.

We know the drill.
it is in that figure because your naira is weak . Simple . At the calculation of your nominal GDP using the US dollar

I also position your weak currency is the sudden reason behind your stubborn inflation

Why are you guys fond of comparing an African country like Ghana to UK, US. It’s not thesame scenario. The average pay and minimum wage in those countries means their purchasing power matches up with the high value of the currency. This is not the case with Ghana.
in this case , Nigeria has the highest HIT. How many times has a price of cement change this year only .

Well, the economy here is highly informal, hence the reason it is likely you see a Cocoa farmer who can send his ward to US for university education but a medical doctor under a pay wages might struggle to do the same . I am aware Nigeria is also in the same shoe

Ghana should pay all her gas debts to Nigeria so we too can also effectively improve local demand😀

Benin, Togo, Niger also use Nigerian gas for years without paying yet they turn around to mock us that we have no electricity.

“Notably, in February, the Ghanaian government announced plans to negotiate with Nigeria's N-Gas Limited to settle a $37.5 million payment, part of the outstanding debt for gas supplied to Ghana's power plants.

However, the Managing Director of N-Gas has not confirmed or denied whether the payment was made”.

unproductive journalism. You don't even have the report .


9ja always behave like a babyy in need of mummy breast milk .

Anyway, for the first time in about 20 years , Nigeria might be paying for using Ghana keys on lotto numbers. It is entirely more or less free in Nigeria back then. Imagine it is the other way round, nigerians will have taken it up the street like this your non ending gas debt case..

Come on now. 31 million cedis owed by 2 countries. That’s not even up to $2 million in total.

MTN Group's Q1 2025 results are in, and Nigeria is back in business.

The Group posted a 10.4% and 17.9% increase in service and data revenue, respectively, with standout performances in Nigeria.

After years of navigating economic headwinds, MTN Nigeria's service revenue surged by an impressive 40.4% year-on-year.

This growth follows the implementation of a long-debated tariff hike approved by Nigerian authorities this year, the first such hike in over a decade.

“From a regulatory perspective, we were pleased with the approval of price adjustments for telecom operators in Nigeria, which the business started to implement from mid-February 2025, with the majority of adjustments taking effect in March,” notes MTN Group CEO, Ralph Mupita.

The tariff hike faced initial resistance, including public backlash and labour union protests. But the telcos prevailed, arguing it was a response to the challenges faced by telecom operators amid high inflation and currency devaluation.

MTN Nigeria's CEO, Karl Toriola, noted that while the full impact of the new tariff structure will be realised in subsequent quarters, early indicators suggest continued resilience in customer demand.

This strong performance was significantly buoyed by exceptional growth in MTN Nigeria, which recorded a remarkable 40.4% increase in service revenue. MTN Ghana also contributed substantially with a 39.5% growth in service revenue.

AkoniMoipei:
The fall is not sudden but gradual, starting immediately after you rebased. Nigeria's GDP is just about in its proper place right now at around 180B — The Kenyan GDP is almost catching up at 131B. In fact if Tinubu does not pull up his socks the catchup will be complete before the decade ends. Whichever the case, dont confuse exchange rate dynamics and rebasing, the latter is done to keep up with the evolution in prices. Your president's decision to let the local currency float freely has seen naira lose 70% of its formerly artificially high value, which is exactly what we are seeing because your GDP has dropped nearly 70% from the heydays of the 2014 rebase. Just a point of note, you could have a trillion dollar GDP and I would not say its fake, even though I know it is. I never said so when it was 576. GDP is a very artificial number that depends heavily on how you measure it — exchange rates, inflation adjustments, and rebasing can all drastically shift the figure without reflecting any real change in people’s daily lives.
This is thesame economy that supposedly dropped so much in 2024.

The World Bank has said that Nigeria’s economy recorded its fastest growth in about a decade in 2024, driven by a strong fourth quarter and an improved fiscal position.

During a presentation on Monday, the bank’s lead economist for Nigeria, Alex Sienaert, said Nigeria’s economy grew by 4.6% year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Quoting high-frequency business indicators, he said the economy continued to expand in early 2025.


He, however, warned that persistently high inflation remains a challenge.

Nigeria is one out of the only three African countries that host companies worth over 1 Billion dollars despite the massive naira devaluation in 2024

Africa remains a marginal player in the global landscape of billion-dollar companies, accounting for just 1% of the world’s firms valued at $1 billion or more.

These companies are overwhelmingly concentrated in only three countries: South Africa, Nigeria, and Egypt—reflecting a stark imbalance in the distribution of capital, infrastructure, and investor confidence across the continent.

According to a report by McKinsey & Company, these billion-dollar companies operate across all major sectors, but six industries dominate the revenue landscape, collectively accounting for 70% of total earnings.

These are oil and gas, mining, retail and consumer goods, financial services, manufacturing, and telecommunications.

South Africa leads with 43 billion-dollar firms, supported by a well-established financial sector, deep capital markets, and a number of long-standing conglomerates.

Nigeria, despite persistent macroeconomic challenges, is home to one billion-dollar company—an achievement largely driven by the growth of its fintech sector and expanding digital economy.

Egypt also hosts a single billion-dollar firm, benefiting from its strategic location and diversified industrial base, which continue to attract both regional and international investors.

Although Africa’s overall share remains small, the existence of these high-value companies highlights the continent’s untapped potential. As digital innovation accelerates and more governments pursue structural reforms, there are growing opportunities for broader corporate growth.

Ghana’s Cedi continues to rise, now pegged at 12.72 against the U.S. dollar even amidst the new U.S.-China trade deal.

The only different thing Ghana had to do was to buy more gold reserves and buy all gold from small scale miners, thereby retaining more foreign exchange in the country. The days of volatile local currency might just be over.

that is how gas deals are, little man. You make delivery and get paid as per the contract state.

Look at that, Ghana finally breaking away from Nigerian and Russian oil.

3 years ago, 32 cedis 🇬🇭 was equal to 1000 naira 🇳🇬. As at today, the same 32 cedis is equal to 4,027 naira. Time changes… The cedi has appreciated against the naira more than 4 times over the period.



Though I learnt even a million naira can do very little in Nigeria now .

Nigerian non oil exports increasing.

APM Terminals Apapa Records 31.5% Surge in Exports


APM Terminals Apapa has reported a remarkable 31.5% increase in export volumes for April 2025—its highest monthly figure since operations began in 2006. The terminal handled 8,687 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of export cargo, up from 6,606 TEUs in April 2024, underscoring a major milestone in Nigeria’s growing export momentum.

The significant uptick reflects years of sustained growth and strategic investment in export infrastructure, according to Terminal Manager Steen Knudsen.

“It’s advantageous for Nigerian shippers when ships depart our ports fully loaded with exports. Preventing ships from leaving empty positively influences the overall cost of shipments into Nigeria,” he said.

Knudsen attributed the growth to targeted operational improvements and alignment with national economic priorities.

He said, ““Our aim aligns with the Federal Government’s vision of transforming Nigeria into an export-driven economy. To support this, we launched a new rail service in February to expedite the movement of goods from the hinterland to Apapa port.

Additionally, we’ve expanded our yard capacity for exports and introduced dedicated truck lanes to streamline the process, reducing the time exports spend in the terminal and ensuring timely ship departures.”

Which figure? I quoted the entire trend and highlighted two significant areas showing the GDP fell from a high of over 500B when you rebased on 2014 to a low of 188 this year, is that outdated? You might need to rebase again or tell your president to do his f#cking job!

Another thing's that's often overlooked is that foreign firms 9 times out of ten will pay a higher price for produce compared to their local counterparts. So why should a farmer go through all the hassle of navigating middlemen when there's a bigger and more stable market willing to pay more for his goods?
