2017 was a distinct year. On one hand, Nigeria boasts
of the 2nd lowest cost of living in the world, but on the other hand
it has the 20th highest death rate. Needless to say, the country is
a peculiar blend of the good, the bad, and the annoying.
There have been mixed reviews of the performance of
the economy in 2017. Some have said it was in
like a lamb and out like a lion. Others have said the economy still
sucks, and minus oil and agric, we are still in a recession.
Which of these views do you want to believe,
especially when there is more propaganda than analysis?
In the attached two-part document presented at the
Channels TV end of year review by Bismarck Rewane and the FDC Think Tank, you
will see a dispassionate analysis of the facts, and its impact on you.
