PetroDolla2: [s][/s] am I supposed to respond to this useless, clueless, nonsensical crap? well, we all know the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry in nigeria is dominated by foreign oil companies,huh? and that is the only reason why your dustbin country is still pumping oil,huh? if it had been left for nigerian companies, you won't be producing a single barrel of oil by now. Look at the mess your refineries are. that is how things managed by MUMUs end up like.

shell alone account for more than halffs of your oil /gas production. by the time you add chevron, total, eni etc etc , how many barrels are prodsuced by nigerian companies? very very very small and irrelevant, goat


See your useless and dirty spellings, I thought you said Nigerians were lazy?
Is it Gaynaians that make up Shell staff in Nigeria? Do you know that Shell hands out the most difficult part which happens to be the exploration to Nigerian companies like IDSL?
What about the cement and other products you fools import from Nigeria, do they fall from the sky?

ma guy, we are proudss to be cocoa producers. nothing to be ashameds about. it is better to be known as a nation that prodsuces cocoa than a nation that produces armeds robbers, pr0stitutes, yahoo yahoo, ritualists, terrorists, exam cheats, bunkerers.

Alright so you even knew that cocoa is our second biggest export, so why all the hullabaloo about harvesting cocoa?

Ghanaians are lazy - Dr. Kwabena Adjei
Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC),
Dr. Kwabena Adjei says Ghanaians are lazy because they always sit on radio criticizing government without doing any work to support the country’s economy.
He says Ghanaians spend six days in the week on radio for commentary and then rest on the seventh day, which is unacceptable.

Petrodullard and Obrafour/Gh Kwame are definitely among the lazy idîots. The man should add trolling Nigerian sites to the list.

BluIvy:

I thought you are older than 18yrs, so please do argur like a toddler. You want to tell me all 80million people who are said to be living in poverty are hawkers?

And why are you people so jealous? Whether SAn get free money is not an issue here. You behave as if, if Nigeria could decide to give grants you would say no to the money? And that would be a lie you will couse a stampede to get to the money. ANd carying government does that. Your not getting grants might the problem of your government stealing. Why becouse it leaves a lot of money to be stolen when if it was tied up to grants if the grants are not paid people would act quicker than if road is not fixed.

Why mentioned this is not how and what people do to get this money but to show a healthy GDP with direct benefits to the population, Nigeria's GDP may increase in number but has no direct benefits to its criticize but indirect.

Your thought on the subject matter is absurd, to even think that you had the capacity to understand what I wrote was a serious daunting task for you. I stepped down to your knowledge to explain to you, and used easier terms and real life applicable examples, unfortunately, you just couldn't grasp it. The whole idea of what I explained to you was that using the income approach, income is UNDERREPRESENTED and as such, a lot of informal economic activity exist, meaning that there isn't abject poverty like WBG likes to claim. smh.

Where you pull out your numbers from is amazing, even if I were to indulge your numbers and go with it, let's do a simple logic check here.

1. Unemployment in Nigeria is around 22-25% right, leaving 75% as the working population,

2. According to that same reports, Nigeria's middle class income rose by more than 26%, meaning that our MCI is about 2/3rd of the working population. Wouldn't it be safe to safe, with a 2/3rd position, balancing at 100% even with the unemployed, your 80% is nothing but a MYTH?

I sincerely doubt you know what you're talking about, for you to allude that even if the number increases it has no direct impact on the citizen, like are you serious? While you are busy collecting grants which has no sustainability, an economy thrives on small and medium enterprises, these are the economic drivers, so the GDP increasing is not because blue chip companies are coming in, it's because the Nigerian populace are feeling the effect and in turn being more productive. The Nigerian economy though still struggling is gradually improving at a slower pace, every economy has its ills including Nigeria, but Nigeria is't giving free grants, YOU EARN THE INCOME by adding some value to whatever goods you produce or service delivered.


For instance, Agriculture drastically increased by two % points over the past three years for a reason, seeing that this sector represents a large population, when the govt rehabilitated the old roads and improved the road networks across the nation, improved the train system which everyone criticized, building newer road networks, embarked on the fertilizer initiative, adopted policies that supported the sector, would you see all these and say it had no effect on the people?


Today, Agriculture went from about 32% in 2009/10 to a whopping 38%-42%, now tell me what else would drive productivity if the people does not feel it. If the income motivating factor isn't there, will the people be productive?

If the Agricultural GDP wasn't felt, rice imports won't have drastically REDUCED, two out of five Nigerians consume local rice, chicken, fish and what not. The direct importance of this initiative is simple: it has added more income to farmers who are being more productive.Do you still agree that "Nigeria's GDP may increase in number but has no direct benefits to its citize but indirect"?

For instance, the new highway that was built from Enugu I believe into Cross River into Cameroon which was a WBG, FG and Cameroonian Govt initiative. Watch the video, that 200+mile road has created a bigger return and affect the Agriculture export because Cameroonian buyers come easily into Nigeria, purchase their goods and move it out the same day. This increases more income for Nigerian farmers. .Do you still agree that Nigeria's GDP may increase in number but has no direct benefits to its citize but indirect?

I leave you with a final note, 170 Nigerians WILL NOT feel the effect depending on where you are, but like someone asked, do you see complains about federal roads? NO... This means that there's likely increased productivity due to better road networks. Does this have to affect 170million Nigerians? NOPE, it doesn't. It affects only those transacting business (whether a company into logistic, manufacturing, or whatever) because there's a faster turnaround time yielding to more revenues. Some are feeling the effects of better road network, while some are feeling the effect of the rehabilitated trains (farms being the bigger recipients), while some are feeling it through improved energy, while some are feeling it through govt adopted policy, while some are feeling it different forms or another...Nigeria will NEVER support grants because it doesn't grow the economy, it impends it, therefore we say NO...

Most Nigerians on "Nairaland" are somewhat happy with the news "Nigeria’s Economy Largest In Africa As Rebasing Boosts GDP To $405bn" though some still about to swallow the ecstasy from this.

What I don't get is Ghanaians beefing Nigerians on Nigeria's own website, & news pertaining to Nigeria's growth. This is not cedi-land, for y'all to chew Nigeria or Nigerians. If it's Zuckerberg that runs Nairaland I bet most Ghanaians running their mouth would have had their accounts suspended already.

Anyway this good news for Nigeria at the tail end of 2013 is gladdening, considering what the country has been through this year especially politically & boko haram-ly.

Ghanaians, South Africans & the rest of Africa shouldn't be hating on Nigeria's economic growth. Learn a thing or two. And be friendlier cause I bet any expansion of Nigeria's economy will see more Nigerians further investing in Ghana, South Africa & other African countries. If you hate on Nigeria's success wonder what you stand to benefit.

One Love
Africa Unite.
