Is Nigeria the only country that imports pencils?
Even the strongest economy in the world imports something at some point

Pictures like these give hope, even if its a very small hope that this country may just somehow, accidentally make sense one day.

Moving forward with Toothpick and Pencil? guy you funny die

I wonder how many years it would take them to manufacture dental floss

FG should ban importation of toothpick immediateley

Protect the factory from total collapse .

Oga Teacher! what have you achieved with all your educational qualifications? GO AND DIE.

Kennitrust:

artist use pencil, students use pencil for technical drawing. So yes pencil remains relevant.

crazyABO:

Nigeria is too blessed to be importing minor things like pencils and tooth picks.

DrSage:
Wow.
I love this kinda innovation.
I hope they get the attention cum sponsorship from the Federal Government.
If all is in place, we should infact begin to export products of these nature

This mentality that the fed govt has to sponsor everything is wrong.


Kindly go read or watch the men who made America.

Swaycater:
A Step in the right Direction! Who said we got no Innovative Minds roaming the Streets of Nigeria? God bless Nigeria!

Nice one, now Buhari is working

Now Buhari is working, we ll b expecting more of this

Evablizin:

yankeedude:
Nice one. Gradually we are moving forward.

Moving forward to what??

Counties like Uganda are producing solar powered buses and we are here taking pride in toothpick and pencil...

Yet we claim to be better than them

I am so happy about this movement..we will get there

Swaycater:

Toothpick and Pencil factory is innovative?

But Nigeria is manufacturing cars already so why is tooth pick innovative in your worldview?

it's long the last time I did something related to pencil


Thank for the enlightenment

Great Initiative coming from Akwaibom State Government. Please do more.....several other things being imported that can actually be manufactured in Nigeria....let's at least do the ones we can. I hope other governors will take a cue from this man.....Well done! And congratulations to the Akwaibomites.....your State may just be on the way to something great. #wearewatching#

ah no folo ooo.

Cos even who dey produce am no safe.


They better locate the facility inside sambisa sha

people are hungry and factories are producing toothpicks instead of food it's only and overfed people will need toothpicks and I can bet my shiny ass that there are not a lot of overfed people, there are more hungry mouths than overfed ones,
people have to eat first before picking their tooths besides a broomstick can do the same job as toothpicks. chai! Anyway please does anyone one know how is the current exchange of £££ to naira? cheers!

Cyberrex:

and use them for what?

Boko and Fulani

Hmmmm.

Power alone can frustrate them....Can they afford a competitive price after you factor in money for diesel and generator maintenance?

DrSage:

What sponsorship and attention do they need from the FG other than the attention of Nigeria and to get that they need to strengthen quality and customer service. Customer service can make the worst customer the best, in order worst Nigerians is their greatest asset and not FG.
