In the nearest future...


Lagos = 2nd largest economy in Africa after Nigeria itself.

IGR and GDP from the largest single refinery in Africa, largest fertilizer plant in the world, and largest petrochemical plant in Africa are all yet to kick in and by the time they do kick in, Lagos GDP will multiply.

Right now, Lagos is the TECH capital of Africa, we rake in more TECH funds and investments than the rest of Africa.

The sky is the limit..

if only Johannesburg (which is a mere city like ikoyi) could surpass a whole Lagos state GDP, I wonder where western cape and KwaZulu would put Lagos state to. We have not mention provinces in Algeria, Morocco, Egypt etc..

With provinces in south Africa, Lagos state is already at fourth position, imagine if we add others from Egypt, Algeria and Morocco.. Lagos state should be around 12 or 13th.
you are off this time.

I don't know the Economist who came up with the ideas of GDP and GNP, but I think those figures are just another useless estimate that government officials use to measure wealth.

If you really want to know the wealth of a state, do proper census and develop a robust database to capture everyone in it. Track what they do, give a social security number, make it illegal for people not to have one, and track their earnings and divide it by the population of the state. This is called Per Capita Income (PCI).

For me, PCI is the most convincing technique for measuring the wealth of the nation or you use the $2 per day benchmark to measure poverty index, not some useless GDP or GNP.

Lol, let's act as if we didn't see where op stated that Lagos state GDP is below 76 bn dollars..

Okay now tell me why a mere city like Johannesburg will have the same GDP with a whole Lagos state, even more than 100 Africa countries but they are not making any noise about it?

Stop deceiving yourself.

Johannesburg is 1,645km Square in size


Lagos is 1,171 km square in size.

Meaning Jo'burg is a bigger in size than Lagos state.

Despite that, their economies are exactly the same size.

Find another thing to argue over.

You see how baseless and illiterate you urchins sound.. You are using the land size to determine the economy..

Sorry land mass is not used to determine GDP.
Rather we use population.. So what is the population of lagos state with Johannesburg ??

Do that and report back to me!

You claimed Joburg is just a city and Lagos is a state.

You URCHINS need some education.

Who has more population and working force?

Is it not population that brings forth productivity that enhance the economy?

How do you compare a large place with 50 persons with a less large area 100 persons in terms of productivity?...

Urchins like you argue blindly.
