The Typical Nigerian Attitude To Foreign Goods And The Dollar Slide

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.
