Why is it that   you  cannot see " made in Nigeria products" in Supermarkets and Malls   overseas. I recently bought two shirts at a mall with Made in Bostwana Logo  tag and Made in Lesotho tag?  We don't have globally appealing finished products? Does it have to do with packaging or that our business leaders are bereft of ideas on globalisation. I think sometimes that our businesses are entangled with politics, look at Odimegwu NB PLC with 3rd term agenda, Ndi Okereke Onyiuke,Dangote,Adenuga ,Transcorp and rest of them.

hmmm you are right, i dunno da reasons but i think igerians should be proud of their handwork first because even in nigeria people don't want made in naija they want made in other countries with fancy names like spain

They are actually marketable, if you have the skills to market them.

PACKAGING ! PACKAGING ! PACKAGING !

must of the times our products are not packaged very well and this makes it look inferior.

However dont say you dont see made any nigeria stuff abroad. Because most of the African food i buy from the food store have made in Nigeria tags

I did not mean African wallmarts, I meant real big retail outlets like Wall Mart and co. I see South African Wine, and products, Egyptian cotton and date, Rwandan fabrics and arts,Lesotho and Bostwana clothing materials.

Our crude oil has made in Nigeria tag.

Modern economy does dwell on what's under your feet,  but what's in your head. South Africa is rich in resources too. Johanesburg is the only city in Africa profiled on Economist City Guide.

These are what the likely reasons are


You have to like yourselves/products before anyone does.


Lack of political will to market our products. Y should our leaders be interested in marketing what they will not benefit from, after all they benefit from one being marketed, (oil).


Tribalism. There are enough boys in aba making products being sold across West African countries even as far as Dubai. It is bought and sent back to Nigeria as made outside. Probably if they were from another part of 'Nigeria' they will get more attention.


Packaging. Poor packaging gets poor patronage.
