Fake News! Nigeria's Economy Is NOT The Best In Africa by naijapips04: 8:32am On Sep 12, 2018 |
There is a fake news currently on the frontpage of this forum where a seemingly reputable government blog (von.gov.ng) quoted an article by a by an independent contributor at forbes, penrasa , claiming that Nigeria's economy is rated the best in Africa. Now I would like to quote here that no where was it categorically stated or implied in the article that Nigeria's economy is the best in Africa. You can read up the link yourself. https://www.forbesafrica.com/economy/2018/04/09/making-nigeria/ And no where has forbes stated that Nigeria's economy is the best in Africa. You can use google to check. And if you find any article by forbes stating that Nigeria's economy has been rated best in Africa, I would give you N20k. No 2. The article quoted is 5 months old. Can you imagine? An article written by an independent contributor 5 months ago is used to evaluate the present state of Nigeria's economy. No 3. Nigeria's economy has been the biggest (not best) in Africa since 2014. Infact our GDP as of 2015 is $490 billion compared to the $405 billion it was in 2017. We have retrogressed basically. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tobyshapshak/2016/05/12/south-africas-economy-falls-to-third-behind-nigeria-egypt/#1a62128c4b78 I implore Nairaland to be weary of the sort of news it habours in it's platform. Forbes can sue the hell out of Nairaland for this. And it is shameful that the same government that is claiming to be fighting fake news are themselves the bearers of fake news. Here is a link to government owned websites carrying the fake news (note the gov.ng domain. ). https://www.von.gov.ng/forbes-rates-nigeria-as-2018-best-economy-in-africa/ Below is the Fake article by 'Forbes'. The revival of Nigeria’s economy has gained momentum under the guidance of President Buhari’s ERGP programme; its ambitious targets yield results that seem to indicate that they will soon be superseded. 1 Like |

chriskosherbal: It's never an argument. The truth remains that Forbes has never anywhere this year rated Nigeria's economy as the best in Africa. If you can point me to a link by forbes where this was stated, I will give you 20k sharp sharp. Seun and Nairaland should be weary of spreading fake news. Forbes can sue the crap out of this website for this. 8 Likes |

Nukilia: It's really annoying. It's sad that people can cook up lies to defend what is indefensible. Nigeria is burning and we are here chasing rats. Imagine our youths, unemployment is at its highest, our GDP growth is stunted, we are almost nearing recession. Our infrastructures are in a sorry state. Most of our budget is used to finance debt and it's growing. Businesses are closing up everyday. Yet we have youths defending this mediocrity. Honestly Nigeria is a zoo. 14 Likes 1 Share |
