Nigeria GDP Rebase Should Not Include Illegal Activities - Uche Uwaleke | Basil Abia

[@musaadedibu9316]

Beautiful, intelligent and professional discussions completely devoid of any iota of biases there..... Nice one as usual Rotus.... It's because of people like you I watch this station 🇳🇬 God Bless Nigeria 🇳🇬

[@Godspower-g7n]

Yes, well said.

[@onyekamadueketv]

Let's bring more of Basil to the show. I see another Kelvin in him. Was blown away when he said he isn't professionally inclined to talk about illegal activities. What a sweet guy!!!

[@JSOAnya]

Nigeria should note that while some countries include illegal activities in their GDP to reflect the full scale of economic activity, many others exclude them due to measurement difficulties and ethical concerns.

I like this basil Guy 😅😅

[@Daseeker4895]

If the US and Canada captures the underground dealings, and the Euro zones also add there's, why should we not add ours? Mr Uche Uwaleke should keep that thought to himself. I believe that would even help the government to understand more about the underground trends. They would have more information of illegal activities, and know what measures to take in order to address those issues.

What?😮. Africa doesnt need people like you

[@SoloLos-AltosAbama]

I appreciate Basil Abia; young and intelligent. Rebasing the GDP is good but including illegal activities in GDP computation means legitimization of illegalities. CPI/GDP recomputation should follow the best global standard. As an economist, i never saw prostitution, drugs peddling as components of GDP.

This current NBS is trying to cook the book to look less embarrassing to tinubu irrespective of the damage it will do .

[@emmanobot]

Really?

[@sunnyike1]

Under Tinubu, anything possible. They're making a mocking for Nigeria 🇳🇬 😳. This present administration is insincere in all their dealing. It's a shame.

[@rotimikayode1072]

You are talking nonsense. You obviously are not aware of what has been happening in the country.

[@BT-JOHNSON]

[@justicet4All]

See when they cook the books. Just to be No.1

[@rotimikayode1072]

Olodo. You are talking about something you don't know anything about.

[@BT-JOHNSON]

This Basil guy definetly talking from depth of in-experience...this was me 15years ago...😂😂😂calm down, and the Prof. he must be a Pastor

[@ObjectiveObserver-xh4vk]

GDP debasing has no relevance on the price of garri in the market. Elitist economics and APC political capital thereof for 2027. Maybe APC will tell us we are now a 1 trillion dollar economy. Food is ready for their comic supporters ahead.😂😂😂

[@MegaNanoT]

Cooking I see. This prof is shaky and thinks 34% inflation rate is acceptable. “Rebase” your leadership instead. Inflation in South Africa is 2.9 and they think it is high. This professor is shady as hell.

[@poshncool8879]

What is this Rotus interjections about morality of illegal activities in GDP computation? Does he know better than the journalists who use data to test hypotheses?
