Abass Olalekan Love 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 Danladi Okoro Ayo 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 at least 70% MADE IN NIGERIA products...

THE MONEY THEY SPONSOR YOU , THE MONEY THEY BUY JETS CAMPAIGNING FOR YOU IS IT NOT CORRUPTION JAILING SOMEBODY WITHOUT TRAIL IS IT NOT CORRUPTION HOW CAN ECONOMY WORK WHEN YOU COME TO POWER ONLY TO REVENGE. HOW CAN ECONOMY WORK WHEN YOU ONLY COME TO PROVE TO YOUR SUPPORTERS THAT YOU CAN ONLY CATCH THIEVES. BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT FIGHTING CORRUPTION YOU ARE JUST CATCHING THIEVES. CORRUPTION IS WHEN YOU ABUSE DUE PROCESS WHICH INCLUDES GOING AGAINST THE JUDICIARY AND GIVING EVERYTHING TO YOUR TRIBE..SIDELINING OTHERS BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE THEY DIDN'T VOTE YOU. ***** IF PDP KILLED NIGERIA APC HAVE BURIED IT. *****IF PDP IS A FRAUD APC IS A SCAM. .....

The truth of the matter is that we nigerian don't wnt to farm again, wen it come to farming we dnt take it serious. In term of industrilization (Electricity) pose a major challenge. No country can develop if electricity is not stable. So who is to blem for electricity prlm? The govertm or the society at large for the way they consume eletric.
