1 dollar to 15.38 Rand
1 dollar to 365.50 Naira

1 Rand to 23.77 naira

Why are we being deceived, if our economy were that good, our currency won't go that way.

We don't need a soothsayer to tell us our economy is poor, infact extremely poor.

So you as a Nigerian investor, you want to buy a machine worth $1000 which would cost you 365,000 Naira compared to a South African investor who will paid15,380 Rand.

Which of the two investors would be smiling?

People rejoicing at these "audio" economy should continue...

Biggest economy does not translate to best citizens welfare.

Nigeria is Africas biggest population so what do u expect?

South Africa is still a more developed economy with higher technology and per capital income.

Don't mind them. Buhari and his junta are the only beneficiaries. They are dipping into the dollar reserve. They are dollar denominated. Naira is strange to them. That's why he devalued the naira even further since he came. If all we produce is oil and we buy everything, what was the rationale behind weakening the naira


Shege poverty capital.

Rubbish.

The problem of Nigeria is bad leadership. Few people felt the impact of this analysis, while majority of the masses don't. Religion n ethnicity play a vital role in our pattern of voting n choice of political appointees. We have extremist created to dealt with some set of people from other parts of the country. There is a lot of division within the country, so, what do you expect the people to do than clamour for the country to be split.

Nigeria has always been Africa's BIGGEST economy since 2014 (when the economy was rebased)...
Regardless of what ILLITERATE reporters often write. In addition, if we can fully capture Nigeria's informal sector, it would be even BIGGER!

A country that gained her indepence in 1960 vs a Country that gained her indepence in 1994? Big shame

Don't mention gaining Independence please. If South Africa is still being ruled by the white, they would be experiencing this backward situation now.

Nigeria can't even boast of a world class city. Countries like Ivory Coast have better and well developed cities than Nigeria.
The fact that the God forsaken country is even struggling economically with South Africa is a big shame because Nigeria's economy was on the same level with South Korea in 1960.

How can Nigeria become an industrial manufacturing hub when common Abeokuta steel complex is in shambles? Nigeria is nothing but a failed state!
South Africa's economy, as it is even in recession is still by far more robust and developed in manufacturing, service industry, commerce, power, infrastructure than Nigeria. Remove crude oil from the country's economy and Nigeria will disappear from the world map!

Bro, that's NOT how it works...
The Yen is about Y110 to 1USD, but Japan is a bigger (and richer) economy than South Africa.

However, a bigger economy is NOT synonymous with a richer one...
China has a bigger economy than Japan, but is much poorer measured by GDP per capita.

Nigeria went into a recession years back,
Naira was on a free fall etc and they were all happy

Fast forward and the reverse became the case and they became angry.

South Africa entered another recession and they were wishing it was Nigeria that was mentioned.
Nigger. No one needs to wish evil on anything. That shithole is evil already. You can call it the best economy in the world but the reality on ground is different.

Do you know that this is nothing to celebrate here, and infact that this indicts this Govt??

Clue: In 2014, Nigeria became the largest economy in Africa and valued at $509.9bn whilst South Africa was $370.3bn.

Today, Nigerian economy has according to your report in the OP declined to $472/402bn i.e a decline of about $38bn( it would even be more if you take into account inflation rate between then and now).

The only reason SA overtook us was that our growth since then has been very sluggish with us entering into a recession(successive "negative" growth). The reason why you just overtook SA again is that they just entered their 2nd recession within the period.

In real terms, none of the countries grew.

So quit that Buhari worship. On the economy, as with almost everything else, he has failed.


Please school Area4Area very well. We teach Economics in our schools for reasons like this so that ignorant people like him will not come out in public to discuss beer parlor economic policies and end up disgracing themselves
