They hate farmers anchor borrowers
They hate success achieved against Boko Haram
They hate success achieved in rice
They hate success achieved against corruption
They hate fight against ballot box snatchers
They hate to hear farmers-herdsmen truce
They hate one Nigeria

We the good people of Nigeria will show them hate on Saturday.

This is the result of some hard but patriotic decisions that may be unpopular but are necessary for real and sustainable economic growth.

For several years we are used to an economy that is driven largely by importation and 'money is flowing' handouts from corrupt politicians. It pushed us into a comfort zone that has done little to encourage production.

This piece of good news means we are going somewhere. Next Level will certainly bring more good news. But it all depend on majority of Nigerians come this Saturday. Don't vote emotionally. Vote for necessary hard decisions that other countries had taken long ago but which we keep postponing because of accompanying pains. Vote wisely.

Checking BBC website

Fake news spotted, edited bbc screenshot.
just like scam emails, they will always make a mistake, going by the write up if it is something to go by,
**Nigeria comes in at number one with a GDP of $1.121 trillion** No projection from the world bank.

And ** Egypt is second with GDP - $1.13 trillion**.
The World Bank (WB) predicts that the country's economy will increase by 5.7% in 2019.

So, when has 1.121 become bigger than 1.13?

I see fools everywhere! Just create a blog site, type rubbish there, create a thread and the moderator will send it to the front page twice with the speed of light but that of a sensible thread,No, he will close the thread and refer you to another closed thread. You end up going in circles in other to contribute

For the mathematically confused zombies, just use your phone calculator and do 1.13 minus 1.121. the answer you will get will atikulate you on saturday
philfearon:

Mumu, don't you have brain?
13 or 121, which is bigger?
Seems like fôolishness and hatred has totally blinded you!!!
Zombie spotted
He does not know that 0.13 is bigger than 0.121,
He is the type that will tell you that 0.13 is different from 0.130000000000

Buhari worst thing that happened to Nigeria.

But we have double the GDP since then. During Rebasing in 2014 it was $550b but it is now over $1 trillion going by this report. That is monumental progress

Also report that Nigeria is times 4 the population size of SA, so stop busting your bubbles of biggest economy my foot. Imagine if SA has half of the Nigerian Population, Nigeria will look like a province to them. They have major investments in Nigeria, what business can Nigeria boast of in SA...? Nigerians are always quick to compare to console ourselves yet we are dying in poverty
