Economy of lies perhaps. Since when did NBD have credible data

Lol... Audio growth

Please where is the economy growing too

I hate NBS.... Nonsensical stats

On what indices

This no growth. Ghana achieved over double that percentage.

Fail and lie

2.27% in 2019 right? Is that the reason we now have 5% VAT on every dam thing you buy in 2020?🙄

It just must be poverty growth. Yes, that's right. Nigeria's poverty grew by another 2.27%.

Grew where? The only thing that has improved in Nigeria is Buhari’s health condition.

We no believe una at all

Na lié

This is fantabulous. Lifeless economy ran by a clueless administration is reportedly coming alive.

I'm puzzled by the picture depicting the growth

Buharideen e-rats go flood twitter now. Unfortunately its all LIES

It's possible, many have been killed.

Wonderful! What aspect of the economy, if I may ask?

Nigeria is moving forward no going back

We really ooooh

Audio Growth

E pain dem🙄🙄🙄

Growth not felt on the plates and table of the masses is a mirage. Let it be reflected in the lives of the generalities of Nigerians.

Lies .they should tell us where and where

Be lying to your self.. U hear

The unfortunate thing is that the gains of this little growth will be used by our leaders to live luxuriously as the case of the recent exotic TOYOTA CAMRY (worth billions of Naira)purchased by our lawmakers in the national Assembly.

Ok

Audio growth

This is no good news. When we factor in our population increase from then till now into the equation you will realize that this is a snail growth. Our economic should have been at least 10%

Am yet to feel its impact on my pot of soup, until that is done, fallacy dey smell.

Fake growth, audio growth, and paper talk. Any economic growth that is not measured by the people's standard of living in terms of welfare, education, security, per capital income, salaries and wages is a deception

Check your data

I can see how myopic some youths are with their funny comments, d growth is not determined by government but by international agencies. Instead of u guys to think of how to tap from d opportunities u are busy castigating. Wake up my people.

Is that one growth 😂

Nigerian's economy seems to be growing in some people's bank accounts!

Those are just numbers.....people are suffering, things are getting more and more expensive

Growth gba gi oku there🙄

Growth wey we no dey see, that one na growth

Growth only on paper

Taaa!

What is breaking here? The news of we Nigerians

Nonsense... who Dey grow ham ? Stocking the stolen funds. Decieiving the international org, nothing is growing in Nigeria at the moment .. DONT let them deceive us. If una like carry all the stolen reserve money stock ham up, Nigerians knows nothing is working at the moment.

From 6% = -3.73%

Which economy? Is it spiritual economy or the one in setting up ministry of repentant boko haramist?

We hope to see more growth in 2020. We also sincerely hope this growth reflects on the masses.

I'm sure it's Spiritual growth
