Mr David Ahmed Okoro started the day early, having set his
alarm clock (MADEs 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.
