No more debate nigeria tops south africa as africas biggest economy

I think there may be some misinformation here.

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), South Africa remains the second-largest economy in Africa, with a nominal GDP of over $340 billion in 2020. Nigeria, on the other hand, has a nominal GDP of around $250 billion in 2020.

While Nigeria has made significant economic progress in recent years, it still lags behind South Africa in terms of GDP. The IMF projects that South Africa's GDP will continue to grow at a slower pace than Nigeria's in the coming years, but it will still remain the second-largest economy in Africa.

It's worth noting that GDP is just one measure of a country's economic performance, and there are many other factors that can influence a country's economic development. Both Nigeria and South Africa face unique challenges, such as corruption, infrastructure deficits, and dependence on natural resources, which can impact their economic growth.

Here are the latest GDP figures from the IMF:

I hope this clears up any confusion.
