State Of The Nation. by yaksmon: 8:54am On Feb 24, 2016
With dollars becoming very expensive like diamond, medical tourism will reduce, crave for foreign studies will drastically reduce and we may be forced to look inward to strengthen our institutions, frequent trips to Dubai will reduce, our market women will grow in fortunes as things like Brazilian hair will disappear and our local hair braids will take the center stage.
Abeg add your own as we move to stop subsidizing the few rich at the expense of the plenty poor.

Don't be deceived by the rants and grumblings of failing economy -PMB is on the right path. He has refused to hire so called Harvard technocrats in his economic team. We inherited a battered government and it will take genuine effort to revamp the mutilation of our economy by yesterday's reckless regime who closed its eyes for few individuals to loot the country silly.

Suddenly, attention is on made in Nigeria goods. Aba is now a reference market for our consumption as Innoson motors is getting free publicity right ,left and center. Erisco is taking center stage in tomatoes processing, and people are now proudly displaying their made in Nigeria products.

Let the dollar soar higher and higher oh God, so that we can value our naira. Nigeria is old enough to produce world class doctors, engineers, pilots and the rest. We don't have to embark on needless capital flight to other nations. After all, we use same books like other nation's educational institutions.

Time to prick our conscience and see whether we are being fair to ourselves as a nation. From head to toe, I m sure you can't pride yourself as putting on any made in Nigeria product. I dare you to say otherwise.

Let's allow foreign investors to come themselves to Nigeria -as they come, they come with dollars. We have the market for easy trade, we don't have to embark on direct import -let's their goods find its way to our market. It is a shame that Nigerians would not buy chicken from Ota farm but can queue excruciatingly to buy frozen chicken that comes from cotonou.

This is a clarion call to genuine Nigerians and a wake up call to resentful wailers. You can't be great when you don't value what you have.
