Little Indians are not wired to understand such points. They get cold comfort from some rankings which do not represent actual facts on ground.

Imagine kikuyu1 posting a list which put Kenya ahead of Argentina in terms of personal wealth. That's the kind of nonsense that tickles their cupidity.

Tax to GDP - the overcooked Nigeria GDP stick out like a sore thumb

GeneralDae:

Nigeria's GDP is actually underreported because 50% of people employed are in the informal sector (services) which are the small scale medium enterprises. This is why tax to GDP ratio is low and Government is working on that and even the world bank acknowledges that. This is why you'll see people doing a formal job that pays say 50,000 naira monthly but they live in a house where they pay 500,000 naira yearly or their monthly expenses are way more than 50,000 naira because they run other informal sectors that are not taxed.

For example, 7 years ago when I was teaching in a High school that pays 15000 naira to 20,000 naira monthly, I knew none of us who fully depended on our salaries (which wasn't even taxed). Almost everyone had fish ponds, or was in snail business, poultry business, or stuff like that which they did by the side. The ones who where not involved in such big businesses either had shops in their homes or did extra home lessons, so none of us then lived a life of 15000 naira monthly.

It is estimated that there are about 40 million small scale medium enterprises which Government should make formal and if you bring in our big Telecommunications market where over a 100 million people use a cell phone, we are more than what you have there or just about accurate. Kenya doesn't even come close.

Tayser:
The suburb of Sunninghill, Gauteng entirely bears street and road names of Kenyan towns, Lakes, Rivers, and people.

Town names for major roads include Thika Rd, Nakuru Rd, Naivasha Rd, Nanyuki Rd, Kisumu Rd, Nyeri Rd, Diani Rd, Malindi Rd, Kikuyu Rd, Kilindini Rd, Ngobit Rd, Tiati Rd, Embu Rd, Kitui Rd, Tambach Rd, Kapiti Rd, etc

Street names include Eldoret Street, Limuru Lane, Tudor Avenue, Baringo St, Kitale Close, the Nakuru Manor, and the shopping centres of Baringo and Turkana, etc

Others include Tana (River) and Bogoria (Lake), etc

Not saying the rainbow nation ran out of names or anything, but the point is there are many countries' towns/rivers/lakes/people to choose from. Definitely leaves visiting Kenyans mystified. Clear oversaturation of Kenyanness in one place.

rvp2018:
Common story in every developing country where people have to eke a living.. hustling informally is captured in formal or pseudo data. Nigeria economy is not just over estimated..it's grossly overstimated starting with agriculture

rvp2018:
When you factor per capita (simple fact that Kenya is at 50m -nigeria 200m) - you're nowhere. Let start from banking - Kenya total banking assets is now close to 55B - Nigeria 110B. If your GDP was not fake - you wont have 20 percent total bank assets to gdp - while Kenya is close to 50 percent.

Name anything - Nigeria at best is twice as big - despite population being four times bigger and country being twice as large- so in reality you're half as rich as Kenya or Kenya is twice more developed.

AfriqueDuZuid:


In many places referencing other countries names China, Ireland, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Zambia, Germany, Italy, France, USA, Mexico, Brazil, Ireland, etc

Even in soweto there are streets referencing Africa capital cities etc

Lol even with our high population. Kenya can't match GDP per capita.

Biggest exporters in Africa

GeneralDae:

It's no contest at all. Even without seeing this data, I knew in terms of manufacturing, only South Africa would be quite ahead while we compete with Morocco (known for her industries and manufacturing) and Egypt (powerhouse of North Africa).

GeneralDae:

Go do your homework bro, in Agriculture, no African country comes close to Nigeria.
We are now even the largest producers of rice in Africa and 14th in the world. The question of Benin republic smuggling rice into Nigeria is now totally becoming a thing of the past and all we are working on now is reducing the price of rice. These are the top 4 nations in Africa in terms of Agricultural sectors:

Nigeria
Egypt
Ethiopia
South Africa

In FDI we are also top there behind Egypt and in PPP (not GDP nominal) we are second behind Egypt as well. So I believe the Data is accurate or slightly under reported.
