Gross domestic product (GDP) is the market value of all final goods and services from a nation in a given year. Countries are sorted by nominal GDP estimates from financial and statistical institutions, which are calculated at market or government official exchange rates. Nominal GDP does not take into account differences in the cost of living in different countries, and the results can vary greatly from one year to another based on fluctuations in the exchange rates of the country's currency. Such fluctuations may change a country's ranking from one year to the next, even though they often make little or no difference in the standard of living of its population.

Comparisons of national wealth are also frequently made on the basis of purchasing power parity (PPP), to adjust for differences in the cost of living in different countries. PPP largely removes the exchange rate problem, but has its own drawbacks; it does not reflect the value of economic output in international trade, does not take into account the differences of quality of goods and services among countries, and it also requires more estimation than nominal GDP. On the whole, PPP per capita figures are less spread than nominal GDP per capita figures.

The United States is the world's largest economy with a GDP of approximately $20.513 trillion, notably due to high average incomes, a large population, capital investment, low unemployment, high consumer spending, a relatively young population, and technological innovation.

Igbos lack sophistication, worldview and exposure. This is why, of all ethnic groups, Igbos host the highest number of "money miss road" in Nigeria i.e wealthy people with no class, style or finesse to match their wealth.

This is primarily because Igbos, unlike others, are materialistic and very shallow. Acquiring money at all cost, even at the expense of personal development, is paramount above all for Igbos. This is why it is common to see many unsophisticated, unrefined and 'Bush' rich Igbos.

This also is why Igbos cannot understand that having businesses in Lagos that generate wealth does not mean others cannot easily replace that with even bigger and better models.

In the 70ties, 80ties and even 90ties the cornershop were a staple of British grocery shopping to the extent even the Pakistanis would be forgiven if they claimed British small grocery shopping sector would collapse if they close shop.

Instead, in the 2000s and beyond, big supermarket started buying smaller shops to create condensed versions of their big stores on high streets and in the traditional corners the Asian shops used to dominate.

These are called Tesco Express and Sainsbury Local etal. This model has now run many Asian grocers out of business. That is precisely what will happen in Lagos if Igbos leave because the world stands still for no one and a vacuum is often an opportunity to replace what is gone with bigger and better.

Sunshineg5:
Like I told you before, you need leave this world view of Aba behind you.

The Northerners are the original leather craftsmen in Nigeria making different materials ranging from bags to shoes amongst numerous other leather works..

in addition, Yorubas artisans are all over the south /south, South East (yes even Aba), Abuja, North, and south west rendering their services especially in the area of brick laying and mechanics.

Whereas it is hard to find a igbo artisan outside igbo land, just like it is hard to see a Yoruba trader outside Yoruba land

I know Aba Ariria doesn't afford you the type of lecture you have received here tonight but don't thank me, thank your ignorance for exposing you.

Nowenuse:
You, Covidodo, Metaphysical & Omonnakoda are the slowest and mentally lowest Yorubas on nairaland. Abeg make una nor dey tag me.

Only people like Legendhero & Myobjective have something upstairs.

Where did I ever say the SMEs were the ones who made Lagos what they are?
I said the SMEs support and give income to the majority of Lagosians! And it is with this income that Lagosians patronize the big industries in their midst.

Are the big industries the ones patronizing themselves?

Without the large population of consumers in Lagos, do u think some of these industries would cite their factories in Lagos? Or don't u know that nearness to market is one of the major factors considered in the citing of an industry?

Without the SMEs there would be no large consumer population in Lagos, without the Large consumer population, there would be no much industries in Lagos. As simple as ABC.
Sebi Awo give una free education na, why then are u people making me stress myself in explanation? Shuooo!

Livescores:
I stopped taking Mr Nowenuse serious the moment he said Plateau will join their imaginary Biafra rep.

Imagine Plateau jumping Nassarawa state to join the potopoto republic.

How stupid one can be.

Livescores:
It time the great Yoruba people stop talking these people serious.

We have the best educational system.

Our region is the the centre for Commerce and Industries.

SW is the gateway to Nigeria.


We have the best economy.




Every one want to come to our region including the haters from the potopoto republic.

Laced with our religion and ethnic tolerance.

The aforementioned shows that we're doing well compared to our counterparts.

Malawian:
80% of Yoruba people depend on government to feed, the rest 20% depends on Igbo's in their midst to eat. A lot of Yoruba boys always waylay me at Suya spots with their two hands always up in the air.

Cosbyrich:
The guy is an illiterate. Maybe from one of the poorest minorities in the North.

His people will be one of the lowliest in Nigeria.You can see that he is ashamed to same the name of his dingy tribe.He was jumping all over from Jos to Kano to Kaduna etc like a wounded pig.

Cosbyrich:
lol

You act like an illiterate.
You keep showing Nominal GDP.Yes, there is Real GDP that is the real thing because it takes in some indicators.
This is an example..

We don't have to keep going back and forth, the obvious socio economy realities and economic migration from mostly East to West says a, lot.

Goke7:
reason I said earlier they need the SW more than we need them, they are just too proud to admit that

zionmde:
[s]Northerners are very hardworking, they are not lazy at all, it's just their belief in begging and rapid multiplication dats their problem.
An average northerner is more hardworking dan a westerner
but d truth is dat it's not working hard but working smart. Westerners are more educated. As for South southerners, God mercy for their youths especially those from Rivers and Bayelsa[/s]

Anambralstson:
They migrants to dominate you because you are lazy, I guess Chinese, Lebanese that owns majority of the companies in your region you guys are better than them

GBOKASINCHA:
oga no Dey explain anything to those ewedu gobbling retards highest GDP yet dem Dey fight over agege bread .... comon roofing sheets na wahala.... in the future when they ve sell all their fathers land over owomida them go know who be the original richest people on Forbes

Tobrasky:
We are accommodators
Our region has the highest GDP in Africa, some dey even yarn the world
We have the best service sector in Nigeria (yet 80% of their industries and private service companies are owned by foreigners the other Nigerians notably Igbos and Northerners)
We have the richest people and billionaire (yet una dey kill una sef for ordinary agege bread)
Igbos are criminals (yet in the history of Nigeria, the first set of the most notorious armed robbers were Yorubas)
Igbos sell gala in Lagos and contribute nothing (yet we're seriously dominating in real estate in major high brow areas in Lagos, and have swamped areas like FESTAC, Lekki, Ajah, Ikeja, VI etc)
The North have overstaffed your custom service, border security, civil services, banking services etc with their people right in your region especially in places like Lagos and Ogun... yet Igbos are your headache
Hausas have clashed more with Yorubas in the South West more than any other region in Nigeria, since 1999 when the OPC vs Hausa ethnic war a regular thing in your region... yet Igbos are your problem
Igbos have a bigger middle class system than you, and don't rely on "my fathers money" or rely on 9-5 blue collar salary jobs just to eat... Yet somehow you are on average richer than a region that has 100% monopoly over its local/production & manufacturing industry
We're more educated than Igbos (yet recent stats have had South Eastern states top the index of national exams in Nigeria lately, no yoruuba economists dead or alive can lace the shows of just Madan Ngozi Okonjo Iweala in academic feats and global recognitions for starters.

I could go on and on, this people will just never cease to amaze me, they are so good at propaganda and glossy statistics (after all na dem invent fraud, forgery and oluwole fake certificates) to Nigeria. Afonja, go and reclaim Ilorin from your turban tying Gambari masters, "Yeebos" are not your problem, trust me

Imaginary domination
Shut your thrash

Typical Igbo rants all in the name of go back to your region

LegendHero:
Normally I would have stopped engaging him on this thread. Because it’s now getting irritating.

But the Yorubas have to also behave troublesome in this type of game. You don’t engage an Igbo man by trying to be calm and following protocol. No you can’t!!

What they always do is lie continuously with the hope that it will be remembered as the truth.

Now we will all go to extra length to debunk the lies even if we have to debunk the same thing a thousand times.

That’s how to deal with them.

Anambralstson:
You are lazy that's why they dominates you, go to Obalende, before Yoruba tailors dominated Obalende now you can hardly see Yoruba tailor, Obalende has been takenover by northern tailors, Lagos Island has been taken over by Aba tailors, even your lord Tinubu his personal tailor is Igbo man, you guyshould keep fooling yourselves on social media with lies.

Goke7:
the problem is the yorubas among us trying to always look nationalistic in their views and opinions, I used to be the one until I discovered the true agenda of the igbos. This is the issue with most of our Yoruba politicians, always trying to be nationalistic for their personal gains, meanwhile no single igbo politician or elite give a damn about the rest of Nigeria. This is why Awolowo will continue to be hated by the igbos cos he understood the game well. Tinubu is just gradually waking up after making some errors [especially as former governor] that has given these fellows too much mouth to continue to disparage the yorubas. It's left for yoruba elite class to adjust their focus and stop trying to form mr nice to the igbos when in turn, they wish Lagos and all other SW cities and the yorubas at large the worst of worst. Am not deceived at all.

I really don're care about any mazi and his irrelevant info especially from abia. Anything that's not official from the NBS or the export promotion board is fake.
