You being surprised to see India indicates you know little about world economic giants!

No African country made the list.

With the way America is investing in innovation, funding research to stay ahead in technology and giving talented people from around the world their citizenship, America will remain the world's most powerful country in a long time. God bless America!!!

ours is all about belonging to a spititual group, donate destinies and grab your share of the cake, finally, make the children study the easiest course possible to land a university degree then automatic employment with fat salary. Our structure is witchcraft institutionalized.

Okay o...

It's good as you know everything about world economies.

Kudos Bro!

brain54:

I know both are fast growing economies...

Just didn't expect them to be in the top 10 bracket... Especially India, because of high poverty rate even though they have a huge population!

GDP is not a measure of their poverty. They are still poor because the population is hugh

DeLaRue:


Currency.

The Japanese Yen is now over 160 to a dollar, I think. Just a few years ago, it was 110 -115. As your currency's value decreases against the dollar, your GDP will be recalculated by the percentage of the decrease.

Same thing happened to Nigeria.

That's why we went from No.1 in Africa to No.4. If naira keeps falling, and South African Rand, or Egyptian Pound remain stable or gain in value against the dollar, their GDP will be worth more in dollar value than Nigeria 's. That' exactly what happened in the past year.

The strength of every economy in the world, including each country's GDP, is calculated by reference to the almighty US dollar.

Another problem for the Japanese is the country's population is falling every year. It means there are not enough newborns replacing those dying. So, their domestic market is shrinking, their companies can't find enough employees, the proportion of old people relative to young ones is high and increasing. In another 100 years, Japan's population will be less that half what it is today.

Japanese are not having sex. The men refuse to have it. The women don't want it either. So, few children are being born. The country is slowly dying.

why are dey refusing to have sex? Or babies

I didn't expect they have such high gdp...

That puts them at 5th position!

AngelicBeing:
Why is UAE AND QATAR, not on the list

They are small countries they don’t need huge GDP to be rich

Am amused by Germany.

Germany was on ground zero 70years ago after the 2nd World war. How did it overtake Britain, France and Russia etc that won the war?

"Paradox of victory"

Nigeria should be heading forward but those that "won" are leading and basking in the euphoria of victory, so we are heading on a backward speed.

it's been long Germany overtook them

Remove igbos there, they are progressives
Unlike the North where Ali Ndume has 30 children and grandchildren who all depends on government patronage

Yet Ali Ndume's children are living peacefully in north while IIGB0S are leaving their regiuon due to sit at home and constituting themselves as nuisances all over the north

They are in their different churches and mosques praying to one imaginary gods,they believe that such god will come down and build their country for them.

USA has several names: the US, USA, America, etc.

Pls this is false...

Nigeria's GDP has dropped significantly. Ghana's GDP isn't close to Nigeria's.

Maybe slightly higher than half of Nigeria's total GDP!

Ghana’s GDP per capita has overtaken ours.

tctrills:

We are not at the top because of bitter and lazy people like you who refuse to learn from people better than you but would rather hate and disrespect.

Therein lies your problem and the problem of many in this country. The Slave mentality that makes you believe the west are better than you. I couldn’t have given more evidence if I tried. With your own hands you proved my case. I rest!

A man who has already convinced himself of his inferiority can never make progress and is destined to be led according to the whims and benevolence (if any) of his master….destined to be a slave. A country filled with such people are destined to be impoverished.

anonimi:


Ghana’s GDP per capita has overtaken ours.

According to the data from 2020, Ghana has a higher GDP per capita than Nigeria, with $2.2k in Ghana compared to $2k in Nigeria. However, when adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP), Nigeria's GDP per capita was slightly higher at $6k compared to Ghana's $6.5k.

Besides the argument here is on who has a higher GDP and not on higher GDP per capita!

You guys don't research. India left the high poverty rate many years ago I think during buharis 1st tenure. Brazil turned things around when they elected a new president

You can just make your point...

Without sounding like a know all.

Do you research on everything. Or are you a walking encleocopedia?

I research when it's necessary or when I have cause to and not randomly on everything!

You are the only one with a problem. People like you are the worst. You never progress and you are ultimately destroyed by your hate and evil.
You are the only slave I see here. You are a slave to your negativity and limited mind.

Your ignorance is stinking, Ali Ndume's children are not living peacefully in North, infact they dare not visit their home town in southern Borno which is the hot bed of Boko Haram.
Just last two weeks 40 people were killed in Damboa a southern Borno town by female suicide bombers . Ali Ndume's children are all in Abuja enjoying proceeds of loot , they dare not even move to the suburb of the FCT less they be kidnapped.
Igbos are in the north hustling legitimately and making cool money and that is the progressiveness that I talked about but you won't understand because you are slow.

Nominal GDP, not GDP per capita.

What is the difference beween the two, please?

you guys don't read. Brazil generates a sugar economy, which is several times larger than our whole oil industry economy

[quote author=Johncuppa post=130939902]

GDP (Gross Domestic Product) The total value of goods and services produced in a country over a specific time frame, usually a year.

It measures a country's economic output and growth.


GDP per capita the total GDP of a country divided by its population!

Exactly what Biafra would have done if it was to become a sovereign country

brain54:

You should probably be more impressed by countries like Canada who manage to be there with a population of about 40 million people. Or Germany that climbed the ladder very quickly. Brazil and India are one of the most populated countries in the world. That already accounts for a great percentage of their domestic outputs.

Ali Ndume still lives in Borno his home state. AS a serving senator, he lives in Borno and Abuja
Even if Ali Ndume lives in Abuja, Is he no longer a Senator? Because even South east senators live in Abuja
Besides, is Abuja no longer in the north?


The question you should be asking yourself is why are SE miscreants running out of SE like flies and constituting themselves into nuisances all over the country.
