You still won't accept will you? You cant provide any proof that Lagos GSP grows by 31.9%!!! That kinda growth would make the world take notice wouldn't it? And the world hasn't. Why? It isnt happening,period. and because you are peddling a falsehood. IDK, maybe i should always have a thesaurus nearby because the word liar sounds so strong, ill look for an alternative word for somebody is economical with the truth. Maybe ill label you a Truth Economist.
The burden of proof lies with YOU in proving how inflation can distort economic growth. (i.e Americas growth) You say 70cts in 1970s america is 1 $ now, ill fact check that.
It stiil doesn't detract from your outlandish claim about the "growth" of Lagos. While on this prove to me whether Olamide on the streets of Lagos eats GDP or garri.

baba, d world has noticed that's y Lagos is one of d fastest growing mega cities in d world. dem no give Lagos that title becos e dey sweet for mouth .
lagos is d only city in Africa that made the cut


loopll e go shock u wen Lagos GDP go reach 500 billion

MPSA:


That ''influence'' part in the continent is base on Xenophobic , Nothing else Man SA is the best country in Africa, you must all accept that Remove Xenophobic in your mind and face reality

Xenophoia is just 1 part of it. The lazy South Africans are another.

Trust me the main reason is that the world no longer see Africa the way South Africa make them believe it is. South Africa is not the Gateway to Africa and they now do more of regional business plus the fact that other Africans are now prove to be more profitable.

Man ! You can't claim the 'Giant' with MAKOKO, Do something about Makoko and Lagos in general, I will declare you as a 'Giant of Africa' for now go and play with others

Makoko (the only slum in Lagos state) with a population of less than 200k people, in a state of 21 million people.
That is <1% of the state's population.

What abt Alexandria in SA? Or you think we don't know the numerous slums in SA abi?

Ok sir, am not really the arguing type so i won't be going back and forth with you on this matter. Again if you are as good as you claim at math and basic logic we won't be having this conversation in the first place.

Yes sir,

its a fact the Gdp of lagos doubles every 2.5 years infact it was already on the verge of doubling $131 bn shortly before the recession so it fell back to just $91 billion.

Its also a fact New York is not growing(Its has not significantly grown since 1998. Roughly 20 years) and the little growth it experienced can easily be argued away with inflation and the economic meltdown of 2008 even with the American economy on negative interest rates. But am not sure you know how these things factor into calculating a GDP or maybe the hatred you have for Nigeria is blocking your frontal cortex from processing the obvious stats and data before you.

For the last time sir, visit the link below study the chart, also im really in doubt you know how to calculate inflation so i went the extra mile of finding you an elementary inflation calculator(You can find the link below also).You should calculate the Gdp of New York along with the stated inflation you get from the calculator (Provided you know how to use it ). Then go do the math and see if am a liar like you have been claiming or maybe you are just been naive.


Finally, am alarmed that you said "YOU in proving how inflation can distort economic growth". Seriously if you don't know inflation is the major factor that affects economic growth and performance am not sure we should be having this conversation. But in my infinite graciousness. i helped you with a link that explains in great detail how inflation affects the GDp and vice versa

There are many Nigerians in here, but I don't know where they're hiding

Sell the Nigerians T55 tanks, you guys manufacture them,right? . The americans wont sell to nigeria modern equipment to fight the boko boys.
Did you know, there is a nigeria governor with Ethiopian wife, i cant remember which one. There is already cooperation between nigeria and ethiopia.

Besides I wonder why you have to comment on this as if the US is willing to sell to you too.

Here you go again sir, making false and totally unresearched claims. There is no Nigerian governor with an Ethiopian wife. The only Nigerian governor with a non Nigerian wife is Adams Oshiomole and his wife is from Cape Verde not Ethiopia.

Anyways,
am not suprised. If you don't know basic stuff like how inflation affects a country's overall GDP. how can you tell the difference between a Cape verdean and an Ethiopian.

Inflation in Nigeria is currently 17%, while in Egypt it's 31% and Venezuela is 1500%+. It seems this guy's don't know Nigeria must really be a strong nation. For over 25 years we never knew anything like recession.

Despite shortage of forex we are still growing in many sectors which is pushing us out of recession already.

Nigeria internet users is larger than the population of the UK. What of percentages? Isnt that what counts?
Check this link to clear any doubts. From the worlds best trusted site on internet usage across countries, and its as recent as march 2017, so it carries faaaaar faaaar more weight than wikipedia.: http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats1.htm

I am talking about percentages and not just numbers.
97 million Nigerians is about or slightly greater than 50% of Nigeria's population.
Only South Africa was ahead of Nigeria in the ranking based on percentage!
It seems like you do not know how to use wikipedia, did you not check the reference source of the wiki page? It was directly from ITU (also a world statistical agency).

So you possibly believe your Kenyan ranking of 77% and being the African country with the highest internet usage percentage? Even ahead of South Africa with such a gap?
I think they were probably counting Mpesa banking as access to the internet. If not, there is no way Kenya can beat Nigeria, SA and Tunisia with such a large margin.

iblawi:


Market size, policies, security and others are enough to push Ethiopia above Kenya. In terms of technology and industries Ethiopians too are growing (if not above Kenya already). The also build some military ware on a low key.

Ok i get

Nowenuse:
According to International Telecomunication union (ITU)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_Internet_users

Nigeria has the 2nd highest percentage population of Africans connected to the Internet with 47% (86 million) of the population followed by Kenya with 46% while that useless Ghana of a country comes at 23% (even with their stable 24 hrs electricity).

You see, when people ask, how is the huge Nigerian GDP affecting the ordinary Nigerian. I just see them as plain being stupid.

Nigeria currently has the highest or among the highest middle class percentage population in SubSaharan Africa, unlike countries like Ghana where you just have the rich and the poor alone.

ITU's statistics is likely outdated or debateable because as of last year, 97 million (50% or above) Nigerians were estimated to have access to the internet and were active internet subscribers.

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/192485-nigeria-internet-users-increase-to-97-million-ncc.html

We all know that it takes at least a middle class citizen in Africa to be an active internet subscriber. This tells us the huge population, power and percentage of Nigeria's middle class citizens.

Liar 46% of Ghanaians are considered as middle class while only 11% of Nigerians are considered as middle class. The vast majority are poor who lives on a $ a day. Nigeria India and bangladesh accounts for half the world poor.

The issues won't be as bad as they were, pls i disagree.
Use your own Kenya for example, the way Kikuyus are dominating Kenya, if it were to be a united East Africa (including Horn Africa) they would just be about 3% of the population. They will be as good as minorities. How can a minority group really dominate the affairs of a country? It would be almost impossible.

Also, such countries will operate a loosed federation system where different states will have rescource control.

What usually causes problems in multi ethnic African nations are the egos attached in being a majority group.

Alone, maybe not, but if they joined forces with the Banganda and another majority. This happens even now in Nigeria. Fulanis can't win alone.

They need an alliance with Yorubas etc. Kikuyus right now are in power in kenya coz they joined forces with the Kalenjin. They can't do it alone.

But, with control of local resources by ethnic groups, it could work.

Thanks for the little inflation calculator, its now bookmarked.
Of course i know how inflation can completely wipe our growth, i have read alot about the Great Depression of 1930s and how the end of slavery in the US caused massive inflation, wiping out economic gains made under that system. Nigeria's recession likewise led to a similar situation, this being caused by a slump in oil prices and hence federal govt revenues, since nigeria depends on oil revenue for majority of its revenue.
Which makes me wonder, why would you say Lagos is growing at 31.9%(that's what doubling every 2.5 years means). Is there another boom industry powering Lagos and escaping the rest of Nigeria? Abeg, which kain growth ? Be honest

O0XYGEN:

See mumu.
When the same western index said your useless filthy underdeveloped country has a higher GDP y didn't u fools dispute that ?
It favors u so it's ok but when it doesn't favour u , u claim it's useless.
Ghana is far far better than nigeria that's why u fools are trooping to Ghana like refugees.

The only index Nigerians usually brag about is our GDP and we calculate our GDP ourselves and present it to the world bank and IMF for confirmation.
U idiot, are you the one who evaluates your HDI?

monkey, Chinese and Lebanese are all over Ghana, but it doesn't make Ghana better than China or Lebanon.
Nigerians are trooping all over the world not just Ghana, we are in Niger republic too, does that make Niger republic better than Nigeria?
