Jide Ogunsanwo, a data and analysis guru, believes that a simple approach should be used to explain complex things. I met
with him and this is how he simply broke down the GDP rebasing saga.
1. A
higher GDP means that Nigeria would get mentioned a lot of times on many
international newspapers and television stations. Certainly, this would attract more interest in
Nigeria; especially from foreign businessmen. The lesson here is that we should all get
ready to see more Chinese looking men and of course Chinese restaurants. Continue...
2. Lesson
2: Now that we are No.1 in Africa, maybe some Presidents that had
shunned us would have a re-think. We could (may be o) soon sight
Barrack Obama near Aso-Rock.
3. Every
parent wants their child to come first in school. As long as you are number one,
you would get admired. If you disagree, ask Messi, Ronaldo or Tuface . Sadly,
terrorists also prefer to operate in countries that are ranked number 1. Why?
It makes their evil actions get more news coverage. Our national defense team need
to now be more vigilant.
4. I’m
sure you know that the prettiest ladies in the world get the highest
number of male visitors. Being the winner of ‘The Biggest country in
Africa in 2014’ means that our airports would get more visitors. What do
you think would soon happen to vehicle traffic around the international
airports? However, I see better days ahead for hotel operators and
every other 'business' that happens outside the hotels (especially at
night)
5. I’m
sorry, but GDP rebasing would not make your bank account fatter. You still need
to work hard to get money. In Naija, you need more than hard work. Don’t ask
me what you need?
6. Before
you get tired of reading, you need to know that the recalculated GDP reminds
the Government that a lot of us do not pay tax. Now that the Government desperately needs
money, what are they likely to do? Your guess is as good as mine.
Finally, the price of rice, garri, beans and pure water would not go down.
Personal regards,
J.O

ReplyDeletelacking in intellectual rigour.
ReplyDeleteGbam!
ReplyDeleteThis guy is good.Hey Linda,where did you say you met this guy?
ReplyDeleteLindiwe me too I wan rebase my life abeg.#Upgrading.
ReplyDeleteWe have always been the biggest and largest economy in africa.the last time we had our GDP evaluated/rebased was like a decade ago and the telecommunication companies,the entertainment and tourism sectors weren't this big then. I have always told people who cared to listen that,nigerias economy is far bigger than any other african country's. The sad truth just as this guy has pointed out is that it doesn't change or improve the standard of living of the average nigerian. It wl attract foreign investors no doubt.
ReplyDeleteYou are so stupid. I actually opened this cos i thought it was a critical evaluation of the re-basement of the GDP and data. How old are you? 'data analysis and guru'
ReplyDeleteRight my nigga
ReplyDeletelmao fuck dis shit @finally d price of garri, rice n beans wud nt go down... Some traders wud even tell u dat, "dey r nw rebasing evrytin so d price of dia commodities have increase...."

ReplyDeleteThis totally lacks intellectual content. Total waste of time reading it . Guru for your village
ReplyDeleteHe did put it in laymen terms. Nice!
ReplyDeleteWe rebased our GDP to be the biggest economy in Africa based on 2010 prices. GEJ's Government also plans to further rebase by dumping all the Hungry, Poor, Unemployed, Terrorists and Criminals in Nigeria into the Atlantic Ocean. Nigeria will then be immediately Great Again. Nigeria Leadership and Whitewash.
ReplyDeletebasic common sense well spelt out. thank you my brother.

ReplyDeleteFuck ur analysis,we ve known for a long time that nothing good come easy in dis naija&perhaps this country is nw d survival of the fittest
ReplyDelete¤¤¤GOD punish devil¤¤¤
Your intro was more interesting than the analysis. Rebasing comes with the disclaimer that the common person's lot won't improve. Raises questions about how to close the massive wealth gap in a rich country with mostly poor people.
ReplyDeletePer capita we are still too poor. Population too much for the money we make. So na number 1 we go chop.
ReplyDeleteJoke of the week. High G.D.P that doesn't equate development nor standard of living it is. However, He made some points towards the end though. Overall, its a beer parlour analysis. Linda that's where u met him right?
ReplyDeleteJaw drops... So this is the best analysis this 'guru' can give on the rebased economy!! This epitomizes the current state of the nation.. Too many ignorant people who think they know but in actual fact haven't got a clue. This why our country is so messed up.. substance over form.. Deeply troubling
ReplyDeleteif you don't know what data analyst is just keep shut and stop commenting,he express the word in a simple term that even the deaf and blind would understand.what he stated are fact and truth. sincerely there are too many local and dry head brains on this blog.
ReplyDeletethis is to every1 screaming trash, if have something better than the fine guy wrote, send it and lets see it. mumu ppl
ReplyDeletewell said
