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