Nigeria officially in recession as GDP drops to -2.06%

Nigeria's Economy has officially slid into recession. This is going by the new report from the National Bureau of Statistics on the Gross Domestic Product figures for the second quarter of 2016 released today. According to the report which was shared via the twitter handle of the Staistician General of the Federation, Yemi Kale, Nigeria's GDP growth rate dropped from -0.36 per cent in the first quarter to -2.06 per cent.


This makes it clear that Nigeria is indeed in recession. A recession is defined as a significant decline in activities across the economy, lasting longer than a few months. It is visible in industrial production, employment, real income and wholesale retail trade. The report adds that Nigeria's Capital Importation for the second quarter of the year dropped to $647.1m(lowest quarterly on record) from $710.9 m in the first quarter.

Chai! Buhari has officially finished Nigeria! The most incompetent president in the history of democracy in the whole world! It's high time the Nigerian Senate emulated the Brazilian senate which are on the verge of impeaching their president who led the country into recession and untold hardship,, exactly the same thing buhari is doing over here

Na me talk am!

Long Live Lib!!!

PMB's regime makes GEJ's tenure look like El Dorado. Compared with what is going on, I can correctly refer to the Jonathan era as the good old days. A lot of water has passed under the bridge just within a space of 15 months. Time has been able to tell the difference. The thing that suprises me is it did not even take a long time for these changes to manifest. This is what happens when a people forget their history and are desperate for change for the sake of it.

Damn!!
May the Good Lord save us all.

Any financial guru here? Oya start explaining in simplified terms the outcome in the nearest future. It is well with Nigeria

History has it that when Buhari was in power the other time, as a military president, that was how things went south-(down)

Buhari you can see that nah our economy is poor

Anonymous said...

Too bad...recession is still economically manageable, depression could be worst. Now, this is no longer the time to blame the past administration but that to mobilise actions and stategize to revamp this comatose economy. But I hardly think the present economic team as constituted is competent. Now is the time to draw the attention of economic experts like: Chukwuma Soludo, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Pat Utomi, Idika Kalu, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala. Let's put aside partisan politics expertise is what we need now!

APC evil scam change government has achieve their evil agenda from technical recession to assual recession. We allowed this evil APC SCAM change gang deceive us to forgo the transformation agenda of Jonathan for this hunger and starvation. God will punish all this clueless and visionless APC scam change government that ruin our once buoyant economy

sholetoga said...

We have to endure the remaining 3 years of this clueless and visionless APC scam change government......we shall bounce them out by 2016 by God's grace, Amen

PBM Never had any plans for Nigeria economically, he just wanted to rule Nigeria and punish his enemies. He's just so stubborn, not business friendly, investors don't trust him, panic whatever he opens his mouth, his statements about the country never sell the products of the country but chasing away investors and tourists and what have... It's a shame that we find ourselves in this place but PMB IS NOT TO BLAME!
