So which school did you go to before you understand Dangote refinery doesn’t have the capacity mentioned to refine Nigeria’s crude...? Are you also aware he will sell at same import price...? And Government will continue paying Subsidy. Calculate how many liters you get per barrel, then do the maths with total Nigerian daily consumption of 35m liters

Actually GDP (PPP) is a better measure of an economy because it takes into account local variations within that economy.

This is true. Nigeria GDP (PPP) is in trillion dollars. And in economics this is more revealing than GDP (Nominal). You know we dont spend dollars, we spend Naira here and since the GDP is calculated in dollars by using exchange rate which means the GDP (Nominal) is calculated in naira and converted to dollars. But in a situation whereby the US Standard Price in dollars is used for our goods... like how much our goods and services will cost if it were sold in US since the GDP is in dollars then according to GDP (Purchasing Power Parity) of Nigeria it is around $1 trillion.
Even when that of China was done it was more than that of US. But I know US wont like it and they would prefer GDP (Nominal) because they are leading in that one

Illiterate, the article said largest economy in Africa, not the whole world. As you can see in the list posted by you, Nigeria was the first African country to come up on the list.
just like football ranking, No 1 in Africa may be No 20 or No 40 in d world.
so if d article was true, Nigeria's No 1 position in Africa @ 1.2 tr should place it No 16 in The world...

NO! I'm very sure you don't know what gdp means
A hostile illiterate
Take your time and study what ppp means instead of confusing others

Sir the guy is right. GDP can either be calculated as nominal which is conversion of goods and services sold in local currency to US dollar or calculated as Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) which is calculating it as if the goods and services were sold directly in US Dollars in US. You can do the research yourself.

just like scam emails, they will always make a mistake, going by the write up if it is something to go by,
**Nigeria comes in at number one with a GDP of $1.121 trillion** No projection from the world bank.

And ** Egypt is second with GDP - $1.13 trillion**.
The World Bank (WB) predicts that the country's economy will increase by 5.7% in 2019.

So, when has 1.121 become bigger than 1.13?

I see fools everywhere!

You are just a Chronic Hater nothing more so i will stop argueing with you, whether you like it or not it will be 100% better than Exporting our crude oil outside the country and the Refinery has been tagged to be one of the biggest refinery in the World, there should be no doubt that's it is going to boost our Economy. Experts said the Refinery will be capable of Refining Nigeria's consumption and Surpluses will be export outside the country, but typical Nigerian hater think he know better by just Hating any development. Do you know the exact litters that make up a Barrel? whether Dangote will sell at a more Expensive price or not, or whether the Government will continue paying Subsidy or not let the Refinery Start working first, there should be no doubt that it will be better than Exporting our crude oil outside the Country. You are just a serial Hater nothing more

I guess Animals are responsible for bringing in business into such country. What do you understand about demand? What do you think will happen if there’s less population demanding for a product?

Sir do you know what is called economic activities? Population contributes in terms of market but not the main thing. If it were to be by population strictly countries like South Africa, Algeria, Morocco/Angola will not be in top 5 highest GDP in Africa. For your information After Nigeria in terms of population the next country is
Ethiopia followed by Egypt, DR Congo down like that. SA is just appr 55 million, Algeria is apprx 40 million, Morocco is less than 30 mill.... so what are you saying? Nigeria is number 7 in terms of world population so are we in first 20 highest GDP in the world? No! This is the mistake many of us make. There are ways a country can leverage on her population for wealth creation which helps GDP but there are other things like companies, industries, locally made goods, financial policy, government spending, yearly govt budget, debt servicing etc that determines GDP. Get this right Sir.
