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.

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?

mrphate:
i agree with you OP but did you ever think about it this way?....how many consumable commodities do we produce here in Nigeria and if we are to consume made in Nigeria products (I.e phones) how many manufacturers do we have here. in my view let's get this manufacturers come over and invest here so we can consume directly without importing. you don't jez make policies with making alternative provisions. i am only tryna b brief. even the agricultural produce have the government made provision for storage n processing?

D33VA:
The way everybody is now forming as if people where avoiding Nigerian goods cause of foolishness is now getting anoying.

I am a proud Nigerian, and i want my country to be great. I also want good value for my products and high safety standards ( the 'my pikin' drug saga still scares me where Nigerian drugs are concerned). A Lot of the makers of Nigerian products are looking out for money alone.

Ever boarded arik and been left waiting for over 5 hours with no xplanation or apology? bought a 'made in nigeria' meat pie with roaches? Or an aba dress that whose seams fall apart as soon as you leave the store and the store person insulting your lineage when you complain? What about aba electric fans that only work with pen prodding?

My point is, let us stop attacking Nigerian populace, we want value for our money. Rather direct all these to the nigerian companies so that they would produce quality products and weed out the fakes almost themselves, who no like betta?

i'm very guilty of this. currently wearing my dolce & gabbana t shirt (italy), nike 3 quater shorts (US), unbranded rubber flip flops (probably made in nigeria) typing on my toshiba laptop (japan).

I will give you a simple analogy. Dunlop produces tires in Naija. Someone sources forex from cbn to import used tires. Therefore, because the used ones are cheaper than Dunlop, it's difficult to increase production a and demand is low for Dunlop. Then they fold up.

When we are forced to be self reliant, the options we have which will be our only option will drive demand and reduce cost for Dunlop.

Where is the money to make power supply stable? The past governments should have improved on this issues when our crude still held value... They just compounded the situation of this country by looting the treasury.. Yet all we do is blame Buhari and his CHANGE theme, forgetting that the way to generate money to fix this country is no more (Crude oil).

USA is known majorly for producing cosmetics and make up, every other thing is made in China for USA yet their dollar still has value. Nigeria didnt start importing today, so why does our money keep loosing its value daily?

davidif:


My sister don't mind the OP jare, he is just victim blaming.

Economics teaches us that most consumers are rational and that they would most likely seek out a superior product if they can afford it. That is why companies realize that in order to break into a market, they have to deliever a product that is of comparable quality (if not better) to their competitors at reasonable prices if not, they might struggle for market share and not remain in business for too long.

So don't let the OP make you feel guilty about wearing your Dulce & Gabbana you are simply a rational consumer. After all, who goes ahead to buy an inferior product when they can afford a better quality.

Yehman:

I'm ashamed that a supposed young leader like u could come here and type a poo like this. Well, I guess u might have been deceived by the seeming veracious but totally hocus pocus impression that they (the so called change agents) met an empty treasury. A country where lies, propaganda and deceit have become the other of the day. Me and u are fully aware of the budget saga. How it got missing, then later it was found and bla bla bla...A country where there is no money but...
* Presidency proposed to spend N904,015,000 for the acquisition of brand new automobile fleet?
*Ministry of Communication Technology proposed N585,000,000 for the purchase of chairs and N415,500,000 for the purchase of tables. My brother, the table are they made of gold?
*The general renovation of Aso Rock Guest House was proposed to cost N387,980,200, just as furnishing the rooms in the Guest House was put at N45million. Who is fooling who?
*Approximately 800million was budgeted for Aso rock medical center and yet none of them goes there for treatment.
Curiously, the presidency also proposed to spend N322,421,971 to link a cable to the drivers’ restroom at the presidential villa. Another N213,873,953 was proposed for linking of a cable from Guest House through generator house to the gate and N618,604,265 for the installation of electrical lighting and fittings at the villa, N371,733,964 for the installation of electrical distribution boards and other cables. In fact, I will suggest you take A revisit to 2016 budget, a.k.a #BudgetOfCorruption cos if I should continue I might run out of cyberspace.
*Remind me again how much was spent for the maintenance of presidential private jet?
Nigerians, where have your senses gone to? If the APC are not ready to work like their counterpart criminals (PDP) then, they should stop heralding change and apportioning blames to anybody. Enough of all this shit!

solja01:
Thanks Yehman for the criticism and for quoting the poo I wrote. I sometimes pity the way people like you think and criticize other peoples write up, going into details of the budget or how it went missing is what most if not every young Nigerian knows... In your wisdom and intelligent write up, you said the president 'proposed' ( put forward (a plan or suggestion) for consideration by
others) to spend the aforementioned figures in your write-up. This budget will pass through the senate before approval (I stand to be corrected). The issue of instability of power should have been a thing of the past in Nigeria by now, that's my point and you and I know that the only way to generate wealth for the country is dwindling.
