Politics / The Illiterate Known As Orji Kalu by Jengem: 5:51pm On Sep 20, 2022 |
Presidency not a regional issue - Orji Uzo Kalu - Excuse me people, Orji Kalu is no elite, he is semi literate, a GCE holder with 9 Fs. When he was governor of Abia State and visitor to Abia State University, he commandeered a Bachelors degree to himself without taking any lectures or satisfying the requirements to be awarded such a certificate. This degree has since been withdrawn by a court of law. He is semi-illiterate. Cant you see how irrational he gets up to be? Rare is a time Orji Uzo Kalu has made any sensible, logical statement. All he does these days is pandering to Tinubu, in case he wins, to help him truncate his criminal trial with EFCC. People, I say, never expect rationality from persons who gathered wealth thru criminality. 4 Likes |

Politics / Re: Data Shows Lagos Is Not Africa’s Third-biggest Economy, As Claimed By Shettima by Jengem: 11:01pm On Aug 30, 2022 |
Buckeyemedia1: https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=35&v=2eRSte3vxVw&feature=emb_title
Officials of Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have alleged that Lagos State is the third-largest economy in Africa. The claim spread after an influential ex-governor of the state, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was nominated as the APC’s candidate for the presidential election set for February 2023. His running mate, Kashim Shettima, made the same assertion at a recent lawyers’ conference. But AFP Fact Check found this to be false: official data shows that, though the state is Nigeria’s biggest economy, it is not among the top five economies on the continent.
Formerly the seat of the government, Lagos is Nigeria’s economic capital. It tops the list of the best African cities for tech startups and is home to Nigeria’s busiest seaport and the country offices of tech giants like Google and Microsoft.
“Lagos is the third largest economy in Africa,” Shettima said at the annual general meeting of the Nigerian Bar Association in Lagos on August 22, 2022.
He made the comments while listing Tinubu’s achievements when he was state governor between 1999 and 2007.
Festus Keyamo, the spokesman for Tinubu’s election campaign and Nigeria’s junior minister for labour and employment, made the same claimduring an interview with Nigerian broadcaster Arise TV in early August.
Nigeria’s biggest economy
Lagos state is Nigeria’s biggest economy and was responsible for 15.3 percent of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2021.
Figures from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed that the state had the highest internally generated revenue (IGR) in 2020, with 419 billion naira (US$1.1 billion at the time) collected in taxes and dues. That amount is more than triple the revenue of the second-best state, Rivers, which collected 118 billion naira during the same period.
Meanwhile, NBS’ half-year report for 2021 revealed that Lagos collected some 267 billion naira in taxes -- more than triple the 69 billion naira reaped by Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja.
Tinubu is credited with changing the way taxes and levies are collected in the state, which has seen its IGR steadily increase.
But the claim that the state has the third largest economy in Africa is false.
Ninth, not third-largest economy
AFP Fact Check searched the website of the state’s ministry of economic planning and budget and found a document that shows the GDP figures of the state between 2013 and 2021.
The report was issued by the Macro Economic Statistics Division of the Lagos Bureau of Statistics (LBS).
The agency confirmed to AFP Fact Check that the document was authentic and could have only been published on the website after the approval of the commissioner in charge of the ministry.
According to the official document, Lagos’s GDP was 26.587 trillion naira in 2021 (US$75.965 billion at the time).
That figure represents about 15.3 percent of Nigeria’s GDP, which stood at 173.527 trillion naira during the same period.
In terms of percentage contribution to the national GDP, the 2021 figure was the lowest contributed by the state over a five-year period between 2017 and 2021. The document cited the COVID-19 pandemic as a key reason for the decline.
World Bank data shows Lagos State is not Africa’s third-largest economy - whether it is subtracted from or counted as part of Nigeria's national gross domestic product.
According to the report, the country's GDP was the largest on the continent in 2021 at US$440 billion.
Eight biggest economies in Africa in 2021 ( World Bank data / )
The value of Lagos State for the same year was US$75.965 billion.
This places it behind the economies of five countries in sub-Saharan Africa (Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia, Kenya and Ghana) and three in North Africa (Egypt, Algeria and Morocco).
If Lagos State were to be deducted from the national value, Nigeria would simply slump to the third position in Africa behind South Africa and Egypt.
Meanwhile, the state’s GDP remains larger than that of West African neighbours Niger, Benin, Togo, Chad, Sierra Leone, Liberia and the Gambia put together.
