Mr David Ahmed Okoro started the day early, having set his alarm clock (MADE IN FINLAND) for 6am. While his teapot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his clipper (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on his shirt (MADE IN THE UK), and designer jeans (MADE IN ITALY) and shoes (MADE IN THE USA). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric cooker (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his wristwatch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to his radio (MADE IN VIETNAM) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) filled with petrol imported from (SAUDI ARABIA) and continued his search for a good paying NIGERIAN job... At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his computer (MADE IN MALAYSIA), Mr David Ahmed Okoro decided to relax for a while. He put on his slippers (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN SOUTH AFRICA), while fiddling with his mobile phone (MADE IN SOUTH KOREA), and then wondered why he cant find a good paying job in... NIGERIA. He felt achy and sore in his left kneel, he decided to take one tablet of his TRAMADOL TABLETS (MADE IN BANGLADESH) to relieve the pain. Lying down on his bed and wondering why NIGERIAN External Foreign Reserve has depleted to under $ 28billion which has translated to free fall depreciation of Nigerian NAIRA to US DOLLAR at PARALLEL MARKET....... Fellow Nigerians, let's us start producing, let us start buying made in NIGERIA goods If our economy is to grow and create better jobs. How can a country like Nigeria be importing toothpick, cutting bud, cotton wool, matches, rubber band e.t.c? And we complain at d same time that there is no jobs for our teeming youths? The situation is even pathetic now when you see Nigerians ( in Lagos) prefer Cotonou garri to that of Ijebu, buy cotonou pineapple and they say it is better than that of Nigeria. That is why frozen foods will be exported to Cotonou from farms like that of obasanjo repacked and imported back to Nigeria because they know Nigerians always prefer made in outside Nigeria goods . That is why you will see an expatriate renumeration will be juicy than that of his Nigeria counterpart even if that Nigerian is more certificated than d expatriate ( This also happen in government parastatals). Any nation that import majorly foreign made goods/ services rather than producing their own are hurting its people.... When we keep importing foreign made products into Nigeria, we keep importing poverty into our country and exporting jobs abroad... Let's go back to the land to grow and patronise MADE IN NIGERIA products... PLEASE SHARE FREELY TO ENLIGHTEN ALL NIGERIANS. 298 Likes 72 Shares |

If Buhari is serious with his chanji, they should do something about power ASAP then every other thing comes in place. If some of existing companies should expose how much they spend on power alone, you begin to wonder what then happens to their profit? 5 Likes 1 Share |

Very simplistic analysis(if it can be called that) of a complex socio economic issue. Meanwhile most friends I know in d village tie wrapper and d men wear okrika, visit local chemist , buy emzor paracetamol There are still a large population of Nigerians in the village. Your fictitious character does not represent them. It takes long term planning to achieve economic dependence and reduced foreign import not fiat or imposing one sided sacrifice. 15 Likes 1 Share |
