Oga, there is nothing to rack the brain about. Nigerians are resourceful people. The Binis and Yorubas were exporting kolanut, palm oil and the the Fulanis et al in the North were exporting hides and the likes before Nigeria was a country.

So you can't say "national psychology tilts towards importing" like the people who are exporting Rubber, Cassava, Cashew, Ugu and the rest from Nigeria are aliens.

If we have much stuff to export, people would be going into the business. Plastics produced in Nigeria end up in many of the neighboring West African countries.

It is unfortunate that in today's world, all of the stuff we can currently export are not up to scratch monetarily. Raw materials, which make the bulk of the stuff we can export, are not worth much today. Finished goods is where the money is at, and Nigeria does not have the infrastructure to support industries.

That is why diversification is dead on arrival. The best we can hope for is to be self-sufficient in producing the food we eat and patronize Made-in-Nigeria products. This will keep money within Nigeria and prop up the economy.

Banking on exportation to float the economy is a pipe dream.

No stable government with consistent policies. No electricity. Running a business is more difficult than running a nuclear power plant. No viable transportation network. And you are yapping about exportation like China, India, Brazil, Mexico, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, which are the newest countries using exportation to prop their economy are using telepathy to produce goods to export.

Make everybody just press, after the reggae play the blues.

Oga, there is DEFINITELY something to rack the brain about! Kenya presently exports on an annual basis, thousands of 40ft containers filled only with avocados heading to Europe, Middle East and parts of Asia not to of the volumes that is exported by air......Imagine the numbers of farmers who made it possible and the millions of foreign exchange it brings in!

It also exports other fruits, vegetables and flowers on a daily basis to destinations outside Africa and this export business is in Private hands whiile government agencies see to it that it meet the established standards of the destination markets.

Oserian Flowers is just one the numerous farm that exports flowers to the UK, Netherlands and US. Sitting on 200,000 acres, the farm alone employs 4,100 people........one can only imagine the volume of FX coming into Kenya through this company alone! That is why buying Foreign currency of one's choice is not an issue in Kenya, just walk into Forex shop with your ID and get what you want.

In Nairobi alone going by what l see, visiting foreigners including Nigerians spend nothing less than $1m weekly on purchasing artwork and handicrafts as souvenirs of their visit to Kenya.

Some Nigerians in some other parts of Africa import some of the spare parts they sell in their shops from manufacturing companies in NNEWI (Anambra State). I am the eye of a Lagos based company producing school related materials in the East Africa region, the products quality sells itself and clients loves them, translating to dollars to the Lagos based company and dollars to import some of their raw materials from China without the Aboki rates!

Lagos and Abuja in terms of flight duration to many of the major destinations in Europe have an advantage over Nairobi as ours is shorter but why is the baby carrots, French beans, baby corn, snap beans,snow peas etc not also exported from Nigeria when all those crops can do well in Nigeria?

I saw a Facebook post some months back where a Kenyan exporter was looking for Kenyans who grow Scotch Bonnet (Ata rodo) and many who responded were making jokes that it is Nigerian pepper, that the exporter should go ask Nigerians!

I do not want to derail the thread, we all have a choice to see a glass either half full or half empty!

In summary:
We can't be Kenya or any other Country, and that's why they call us Nigeria.

And Kenya cannot be Nigeria or any other Country, that's why they call 'em Kenya.

IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO TO BETTER OUR COUNTRY DO IT.

Please underline that word YOU. Because you can't play everybody's role. You play your part and others play theirs.
