Nuzo1:
Is this ignorance or a careful manipulation?

Same gaslighting that took place during dumb Buhari period. Some of us were labeled haters of Nigeria when we told them that the stupid “change begins with me” by buhari can’t work. How do you expect 220million people to do the right thing at the same time without an example from the leaders and backing it up with effective reward and punishment strategy?

Do these people think at all?

Now this one again. Buy made in Nigeria goods cause if you don’t; you are the cause of crashing niaira and thereby wants Tinubu to fail. In other words; a HATER of Nigeria.

Look, people want the easiest life and the cheapest goods… and they have the right to seek for such so far the process is legit!

Now, it’s up to the government to live by example and then organize policies that will fasten local production and patronage.

Why can’t we copy those who have gone through this part and made it out successfully? Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong etc.

A clear example is Singapore. Lee Kuan Yew had a rejected, chaotic, racially divisive and very poor population when he took over. Their case was 20 time worst than Nigeria at the moment. But he didn’t go about blaming and expecting the people to do the right thing all at the same time.

He simply made sure he, his family members and his entire cabinet lived by example. He propounded policies that wet the ground for local production.

The ease of doing business in Singapore since the 60s has been one of the top 3 in the world since when he took over. You can get your certificate of business in 24hrs. And all handled by one department.

Electricity was his first project for he knew you can’t earn forex with using generator for production.

Singapore does not have a single drop of crude oil in their land but they have been the top three largest producers of refined crude oil for close to 50 years now.

Go and read “from third world to first” by Lee Kuan Yew to see how to develop a poor country.

Well, it’s not that our leaders don’t know all these, but the problem has always been lack of political will to make some hard decisions. But in making these decisions, their own business interests will be touched too.

DesChyko:
I have no idea who or where the OP is. But we're communicating all the same. So I'll just test if there is any hypocrisy within.

OP, what device are you communicating with and where was it made?

Tallesty1:
Clearly the OP and his friends have not tried exportation or production or even running a business; they have no fvcking idea how fvcked up the country is; all thanks to their leader.
They should first trying running business and then come back to update this thread...

Bigkoko:
Firstly, I feel true compassion for those who really wanted a change of the nonsense going on in Nigeria.

But, business is not technically feasible in Nigeria as presently constituted. A country where multi national companies is closing shop is where you want tuke tuke business to strive?

If police no use bribes demand finish your business, civil servants dey one corner dey wait for you. What if high cost of producing a product or service?

Do you think I'm so enjoying it all here with bills of more than $4k USD monthly?

Let me share what finally made me give up in Nigeria. After of my work I also have a very large pig farm. During insemination, I usually take my pigs to a particular farm for that. Anytime I'm coming back, police, northern Muslim would stop me and my pigs. They will not come 20 yards to the pigs, but guess what they always demand bribes on the pigs!

They forbid pigs, but don't forbid money from the pigs!

DeLaRue:
We don't even produce enough cassava to eat, let alone have enough for industrial use or export.

Many of the people who complain bitterly of prices of food have never stepped foot on a farm. They will never farm and grow food. They'll rather be on social media asking government to 'do something'. How?

The government should import workers from Germany, India, America etc to come and grow yam, cassava and pepper for us?

People are just not serious.

Dollar is not our currency. Why are newspapers, organised media, and people on social media reporting every movement of another country's currency with minute by minute reporting, thus creating more panic buying and apocalyptic mass hysteria?

Are South Koreans, Indians, South Africans etc monitoring the dollar every minute like Nigerians do?

No, they're in offices, farms, factories producing more and more things to sell to unserious countries like Nigeria while Nigerians are on social media destroying their country.

Ok na.

blacknp:
Yet we are the largest producers of cassava in the world.

Tomorrow we will be quick to say shamelessly that it is the Federal Government that spoilt us with oil money, a mentality we purportedly inherited from our fore fathers under military mentality.

Once Nigerians can blame the cause of their problems on the President, they are alright, nothing is ever our fault.

It is always the fault of the so called President & politicians who are just everyday people like us & them, that just decided to play the game of politics.

blacknp:
Even to export the raw commodities like rubber, cocoa, cassava, Indian hemp, palm oil which are under the exclusive jurisdiction of the states on the legislative concurrent list we refuse to do, 220 million people are waiting for 1.3 million barrels of crude oil export from the Federal government to help them with foreign exchange?

Shameless people we are, let the likes of DMerciful, bigkoko & Colorado Bobloco to come and explain to us the reason for our laziness?

plaetton:
Which nation in the industrialized with generators, powered with imported subsidized fuel ?

DeLaRue:
I agree.

The government cannot print dollars.

People call on the government to 'do something', but in reality the government can only tinker here and there. Truth is, the government doesn't have a magical lever it can pull to increase the value of the naira.

I went into a new supermarket in Ikeja GRA a couple of weeks ago. I had never seen anything like it. There's not even a biscuit in the supermarket that is made in Nigeria. Virtually everything is imported.

Lionessza6:
LMFAO,look at you being all territorial over someone's website . Now imagine how you will feel when millions of Zulus, Somalis and Congolese come to build their paradise in your village .

I used to think Chinese don't like black especially African?

Add show off to the list of Blackman's problem. Imagine Mansa Musa destroying his empire just because of pilgrimage to Mecca. Same nonsense Jean-Bedel Bokassa did to be crowned as an Emperor
